PROHI POLL BY NEWSPAPERS
FROM WET CAMP
By NEA Service
JOHN • PHILIP HILL
WASHINGTON, March »—
"Expressions of public opinion
on great issues through news
paper straw votes are second
in value only to votes at
polls.’’
With this remark. Congress
man John Philip Hill of Mary
land today gave his strong com
mendation to NEA Service and
the 700 newspapers which will
co-operate with it in a nation
wide poll on prohibition, begin
ning tomorrow.
“I favor such a vote on the
question of national prohibi
tion,’’ said Mr. Hill. “With the
volume of votes cast in a wide
spread balloting campaign, con
vincing evidence of the people’s
will can be obtained to guW|e
popular thought and legislative
action.
“As an opponent of the Vol
stead act, I believe firmly that
it doqs not represent. the will
of the majority of the Amerl-
dan people. Every chance, of
ficial or unofficial, for them to
express their disapproval of it
should be seized.
Friends of
prohibition, like-wise, have a
fair chance to express their
views.
“On any question of enforce
ment, of course, every citizen
will say he favors respect for
law and obedience to it. When
■a law is obviously unenforceable,
however, as is the prohibition
act, the direct answer to the
confusion it creates is to modi
fy it.
“I recommend, this nation-wide
straw vote sponsored by NEA
Service as a chance for everyone
to do what has not been possible
at the polls— to say yes or no
on national prohibition.’’
Captain W. H. Stayton, found
er and national chairman of the
Association Against Prohibition
Amendment, also endorsed the
poll whole heartedly.
“We .have always maintained,”

Bit of Cabinet Work
At Provost Store
Something new and distinctive
in cabinet work has Just been
completed by Frank oJrdan of
Jordan's Sash and Cabinet works,
and it is now on display ,at the
Provost Hardware store.
It is a combination wardrobe
dresser of a design and pattern
never before attempted and
should prove especially attrac

something distinctive for the
dressing room.
At one side is a commodious
wardrobe.
At the other side
is a combination dressing table,
with hat box at the top, neat
little Jewel boxes gad g bendy
shelf for dressing and toilet
articles.
Two doors to the
dressing table swing open, pro
viding mirrors on two sides and
in front. A stool of the same
design as the wardrobe dresser
also is provided.
Mr. Jordan made the dresser
for his wife, but It attracted
such widespread notice among
those who saw it that he con
sented to put It on display nt
the Provost store. He says it
can be manufactured in his
cabinet works and then be fin
ished In any color to suit the
needs or wishes of any woman
who might want one..
