I SPEAKER SCORES ALLEGED SCHEIE OF LIQUOR H SSSMSSSMMSSMSSSJSBSV . Thi effort to nullify the national prohibition law by securing a modi fication of th "Volstead ct to per mit the manufacture and sale of beer was charged against th liquor in terest of the nation, Sunday night at the Sunnyside Methodist church, by Captain Frank BJ Ebbert, attor ney, for the Anti-Saloon - League of America for tho pacific coast t Captain Ebbert reviewed the ratifica tion of the eighteenth amendment, - re citing how out of 98 legislstive bodies la America, 93 had ratified the amendment by large majorities, t "The liquor interests made a deter mined effort at th i national presidential conventions to have all candidates agree." he said, "if ' nominated and elected to favor a modification of the Volstead act. The liquor Interests could change the definition of intoxicating liquor by securing a simple majority of congress. This would mean a return of the old liquor business." he said, "for no matter how . intoxicated one might become on 3 per cent beer, legally one could not become intoxicated because congress would have declared ft non-lntoxicatiog. In this event any boy or girl could pur chase a glass of beer just as' freely as they purchase soft drinks today." ? Ebbert declared the liquor Interests were purposely encouraging bootleg ging in an effort to show that prohibi tion could not be enforced. In the hope that the people would become discour aged and approve the manufacture and sale of beer as a means of satisfying the cravings of a minority. He further stated that the liquor traffic has defied all law from the beginning of the gov t and therefore cannot be expect ed to quietly surrender simply because an amendment has oeen aaaea to we constitution, "In 1794 the liquor traffic started tha whiskey rebellion." he said, "because a 7 cents per gallon tax was placed on the production of whiskey. This traffic has been in rebellion against regulative and restrictive prohibition ; laws ever since. ; . ? f r "Those, who know the history of the Anti-Saloon league will not be so foolish as to believe that the fight is over simply because Cie law prohibits the sale of liquor. We will not reach the end until we have demonstrated that the gov ernment Is bigger and stronger than the traffic which It has outlawed. The Issue now at stake is one of law and order. Public sentiment must be and will be crystallised for law enforcement, and an organized sustained effort must be made to do everything that Is neces sary to have tha law enforced If our form of government is to survive." 66 BUNDLE DAY' for the NEAR EAST- Wednesday, May 25th FAMINE and want still stalk in the wake of the Turk through out Armenia.

Bell's work in itself superseded the efforts of Page, whose research was advanced in 1837; Bourseulin 1854; andReis about i860. In 1878 Bell's trans mitter was itself superseded by Hunnings "granular carbon transmitter " ; since perfected by A C White, whose "solid back transmitter" has practically displaced all earlier forms.
