The surprise' feature of the fig ures of the Literary Digest poll on prohibition, published Friday, is the fact- that more women favor modification of the Volstead act, than favor enforcement of it, so far as its votes reveal. The summary of. the first 21.467 women's votes, showed that 7363 favored enforce ment, 8575 favored modification, and 5529 favored repeal of the prohibi tion enforcement act and the 18th amendment. No votes from Oregon women were tabulated in the list. The Digest, in explaining the vote, says that it must be taken into consideration that the vote so far comes chiefly from the eastern states, "which are commonly considered to be 'damper' in the sentiment than are those of the middle west, northwest and south." The summary of the entire vote so far, a total of 708,805 ballots, is as fellows: Those In favor of the continuance and strict enforcement of the 18th amendment and the Volstead law, 271,954. Those In favor of a modification or the Volstead law to permit light wines and beer, 290,172. Those in favor of repealing the prohibition amendments, 146,679. The tabulation shows a plurality ir. Oregon in favor of modification of the Volstead act. The poll in this state totals 2834 for enforcement, 3295 for modification, and 886 for repeal. Washington state is slightly stronger for enforcement than for modification. The special women's ballot on the soldiers' bonus gives 11,567 In favor of the bonus and 9879 opposed. The total ballot is 344,792 in favor of the bonus, and 356,167 opposed. Programme Declared to Be One of Best So Far of Friday " Night Series.

In fact, there- is only one com plaint made by most of the listeners and that is that the programme Is too short.

The letter says: "The bombs dropped on London during the last war averaged less than 100 pounds in weight. Bombs or torpedoes are .now carried of 4000 pounds weight, containing, a macs of high explosives. The effect of a dozen bombs of this character dropped on London can readily ' be conceived. There is not merely a possibility but a great probability that in the event of war, this coun try would -be raided and London and other towns destroyed- by squadrons or even fleets of airplanes, travel ing at 150 miles an hour at a height of 20,000 feet, silent as to their engines andfcertainly by nigh; invisible."
