Washington, I). ('.-Expansion of
the federal government's prohibition
enforcement machinery in an effojt to
stop liquor smuggling and to check
what is described by officials as rapid
ly increasing supplies of high-power
beer is under consideration at the
treasury. The program contemplates
practically doubling the strength of
the coast guard and the placing of a
prohibition agent in every brewery.
While the changes under considera
tion for the coast guard have not yet
been placed before Secretary Mellon,
those in charge of the service have
calculated that approximately $20,
000,000 would have to be appropriated
by congress to carry them out. Tenta
tive plans call for the addition of more
than a score of cutters and about GO
speedy power boats to be used in
tracking down rum runners off the
coasts. Additional personnel is also
proposed.
Secretary Mellon is said to recog
tllze that "high-power beer is hecom
ing all too common" in many sections
of the country and, it is reported, is
inclined to favor a return to the old
arrangement of putting an agent of
the treasury on guard in all breweries
so that daily tests may be made of
products,
Treasury officials denied that the
new program was due to recent criti

Governors for Coolidge's Plan.
Washington, 1). O. Requested by
President Coolidge to assume their
share of responsibility for enforce
ment of the prohibition laws, gover
nors or representatives of governors
of 117 states and territories, meeting
with the president Saturday at the
While House, adopted a program of
co-operation.
The program was approved after
President Coolidge had addressed the
an ei ing and after an extended discus
sion of the prohibition enforcement
problem during which Governors
Smith of New York, and Ritchie of
Maryland, declared with some feeling
that they were not in altogether
thorough accord with the policy of the
federal government.
The New York and Maryland go
mors, however, joined in the unan
imous vote for adoption of the pro
gram, which provides:
Co-ordination of nil federal, state.
etinty and municipal enforcement
forces.
Issuance by the governors of calls
upon the press to support prohibition
law enforcement, stress law observ
ance and treat the enforcement pro
gram commensurate with the gravity
of lawlessness.
Summoning by the governors of
conventions of municipal, county and
state enforcement officials at a con
silient date to discuss and adopt a
program for the states, the federal
government pledging possiblo support
lo these conventions.
Calls by the governors upon the
prosecuting uttorneys in the various
districts of the states to confer on the
enforcement problem, with the federal
government pledging every facility to
aid In such discussions.
Adoption by the governors and by
the federal government of whatever
means are practicable to cause lawless
citizens and aliens to respect the ma
jesty and sanctity of the law ami to
respect the various agencies enforcing
it.
"Don't Run Away, Littie Mouse."
he should not have been so near to
her royal throne. But White Spider
said, not in a cross voice but in a
pleasant tone, "Don't run away, little
mouse. Come back here and sit on
the throne beside me, and I will tell
you a story."
Little Brown Mouse dearly loved a
story so lie climbed up to the big
throne seat while White Spider sat in
her silvery thread house in a corner
by one arm and told him about a prin
cess who once lived in the castle.
"Long, long ago. in the tower of
this castle, a beautiful princess was
imprisoned," said the White Spider.
"Her mother was dead and the King
had married ngain. A bud, selfish
woman was the new Queen. She did
not love the little Princess, because
she would some day be Queen and
the stepmother wanted her own daugh
ter to have the royal title.
"So she coaxed the King into tak
ing a journey and leaving a servant
who was in the pay of the new Queen
to take care of the castle and the
Princess while they were away.
"As soon as they were gone this
wicked servant imprisoned the little
Princess In the tower and left her to
starve, for the new Queen and the
. . . i . I. I.' it, IV
servant had arranged to ten un
when he came home that the PrlnceM
had been sick and died while he was
away.
"Then the wicked Queen expected
to coax the King into making her own
daughter a princess and his heir.
"Of course, the little Princess was
terribly frightened the diet nik'nt
when it grew dark In the tower and
she was hungry, too. But when the
moonlight came In through the little
window I crept out of my corner and
let myself down on the sill in the
moonlight
" 'Poor Spider,' said the little Prin
cess. 'Have they shut you in here,
too? But you won't starve, I suppose,
as I shall". Oh dear! If someone
would only toll my father, how quick
ly all would he changed.'
"'You won't starve, my pretty dear,'
I told her, 'and your father shall know
before another day. For though they
did not know it, they have Imprisoned
you With an enchanted creature. Once
I lived in a cave with an old witch
and she threw over me a spell of en
chantment which enables mo to do
strange things.'
"Then I called by magic art the
night fairies and they brought her
food and before the Princess slept a
fairy messenger was on her way to
tell the King his child was iu great
danger.
"The next day the fairies brought
her food and that night the ,Klng
returned. And though the bad serv
ant tried to tell the King his daughter
was lost, in the end he became fright
ened and confessed all.
"The King quickly brought the lit
tle Princess from the tower and the
bad servant and the new Queen and
her daughter were sent out of the
country and never were seen after
ward. "But this all happened a long, long
time ago and the old castle is desert
ed ; and here I am Queen on the very
throne where the little Princess once
sat"
When the White Spider stopped
talking Little Brown Mouse asked:
"Did they reward you for saving the
Princess?"
"Well, you see they could never find
me. I hid every time anyone came to
the tower and then no one really ever
believed what the little Princess told
about the White Spider. They said
she was delirious with fright on that
night.
"But never was a spider harmed
that lived in this castle and so you
see I wns rewarded, for here I am,
when all the royal folk are gone;
queen on a throne when all those who
lived here long ago are gone."
"That is a very nice story," said
Little Brown Mouse, "and I am glad
I know you were always white, too.
Some of those who live here thought
you were very old and had turned
white with age."
"Oh, that is the enchantment the
witch threw over me," said the White
Spider. "I shall never grow old."

TRAVELING
New York Riding More.
New York. The metropolis is for
getting how to walk. The transit com.
mission, which Sunday made public
figures to show that Now York's sub
way, elevated and surface lines car
ried 90.S93.000 more passengers last
year than the year before, believes ao
"increase in riding habit ' is respon
sible. Statisticians estimate that the
New Yorker took ten times as many
rides last year as he did in the sim
ple days of 1S60.
A rood custom Is better than a law.
Euripides.
OUR friends are beginning to travel
again.
Now it is more like old times, and
if our friends go abroad they go with
lighter hearts and with more baggage.
Therefore it is quite the thing to give
them little gifts and, if they want us
to, to see them off. Be sure, though,
that you are wanted. Nothing Is more
embarrassing than to arrive unexpect
edly on the deck of a Steamer to find
the friend you have gone to see off
surrounded by an invited party of
which you are not a member. So don't
go unless you are quite certain that
you are wanted, both for your sake
and for the sake of the traveler.
As for the gifts you send, be sure
that they are really desirable, and not
merely something that will till up the
steamer trunk and bags. If you know
of some traveling accessory of which
your friend stands In need, that is a
good choice. A book is never amiss
because after it is read It can be left
on shipboard if it is in the way.
Candy, although it is a conventional
present, and one of the few things that
a man is supposed to give to a woman,
Is nevertheless not a very good choice.
A great many persons even though
they enjoy ocean travel are particu
larly careful not to Indulge In sweets.
Flowers, another of the conventional
gifts of men to women, are always In
perfectly good taste. However, ihey
are sometimes in the way in the state
room. If you know that anyone dis
likes flowers on the steamer dou't send
theni.
As in all other cases where sifts are
concerned a man may send dowers,
candy or books to a woman. Books
in this case Include magazines, and
sometimes half a dozen current maga
zines are as welcome a gift as auyone
could receive. They provide Just the
kind of reading that some People like
on shipboard and can be discarded
without a qualm when their reader Is
through with them.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"FILIBUSTER"
'TUBS word, generally used as
a synonym for "pirate," has
a most interesting history, being
derived in nn extremely round
about manner from the Dutch
vrljbuiter, translated phonetical
ly Into English as "freebooter"
and, by the nautical section of
the Hrltish Isles as "ilyboat."
"Flyboat" and "filibuster" do not
appear to have much In common,
but the original vrljbuiter be
came filibustler In the French
and fllihote In the Spanish,
while the pirates and smugglers'
who used these craft were
known as tilibusteros. Thus-we
have two words derived from
the same source "freebooter"
which is of unmistakably Dutch
origin and "filibuster" which Is
from the Dutch, by way of the
French and Spanish.
In this connection It Is also
interesting to note that the
"buccaneers," the generic term
for the pirates that menaced the
Spanish Main, were usually di
vided Into three classes the
boucanlers who hunted their
prey nearby, the filibustiers who
roved abroad in search of It and
the habltans who remained at
home and attended to the busi
ness details.
