Present Views To Sen-
ate Committee—Protest Against Modifica-
tion of Existing Dry Laws. '
WASHINGTON. D. 0., April 12.-—(AP). Interrupting the
presentation of the ease of the “wets” a corps of 80 delegates
from civic. temperance and other women's organisations passed
before the Senate Prohibition committee today, urging enforce-
ment of the Volatead act and opposing any modification of the
national.dry laws.
“We represent the home. the
church and the school." was the
slogon contained in the testimony of
the first witness. Mrs. Henry W.
) Peabody of Beverley. Mesa. chair-
.\ man of the Woman's ationai Con-
ference for law enforcement which
v is meeting here.
“We stand for enforcement and
no modification. We have a strong
feeling that the women ought to be
represented by the men who hold
our views.
Ma's "Power” Asked For
Mrs. Peabody was questioned by
Sena r Reed. Democrat. Missouri,
and s e told him in reply to his first
interrogation that the only change
in the Volstead Act to which the
women would agree would be a
move to give it mo: 3 power.
"We stand for the strengthening of
the Volstead Act rather than its me-
dification." she said. "we want it
enforced by officials who are in
sympathy with it."
“ re you satisfied with section 28
of .Volstead Act?" asked Senator
Ree .
‘ “I not acquainted with that
section." Mrs. Peabody said.
3“That is the section about fruit
.iuices." put in Senator Harreid. a Re-
publican. Oklahoma. .
“We~stand for the strongest thing
in enforcement and the weakest
thing in liquor." Mrs. Peabody re.-_
piled and the crowded committee
room broke into applause.
Mrs. E. H. Silverthorn. president
of the Federation of Women's
Boards of Foreign Missions. said she
appeared for prohibition on behalf
. of 5.000.000 women members of
foreign mission boards.
“All the world is looking tog
America on this great question of
Prohibition." she said.
' . In The Balance
"They are weighing and judging
what America is doing."
. ‘Othere of the witnesses passed
before the committee in rapid suc-
cession. Some talked for only a min-
ute‘and were excused without cross
examination. ‘
Martha. Hamon of New York a

she said.
She added that fewer easel of in-

ganisation than formerly.
' “Do the children you come in con-
tact with complain to you about

§ Democrat. Mont na.
‘ "Well. yes." was the reply.
“Their mothers complain to them
and they tell us about it."

A he. c it do so?" "Yes. if he has

i . w. c. 'r. o. Mobilising.
' Mrs. Nell G..Burger of Springfield,
Missouri. ‘spoke for the Women‘s
Christian Temperance. .
"The W. C. T. U. is mobilizing half
a million of women for law enforce-
ment." she said. “The working men
may demand the return of light
,wines and beer, but the wives and
children of the "working men who
for the first time. have decent cloth-
ing and food. will not Join in that do-
>2; mood."
' Looking straight at Senator Reed.
‘ she added that “Prohibition has been
of immeasurable benefit to my home
atataof Missouri." She read from a
newspaper that from 0 a. m.. April
fists-ea. 111.. April 8. there was
not a single arrest in St. Louis.
"That was so startling that it really
became news." interrupted Senator
need.
"Do you know whether that re-
sulted from the fact that the police
were off duty or from the great
moral wave sweeping over the city?"
"I hope it was due to the moral
wave." saidi Mrs. Burger. as . the
crowd laughed.

N o-Parking Signs .
May be Made Green
There has been considerable
talk about having the “No Park-
ing" signs changed from the pres-
cnt color to green and white to
conform with the signs in other
places. William Yates. of New
Ilavcn. was arrested in the first
district last week. In court
Yates told Judge Nehemiah Can-
dee that he believed the yellow
and black signs to be ‘0 min-
utes parking ones and that "No
Parking" signs in New Haven
and other places were green and
white. Judge ,Cnndee said that
this suggestion has already been
made and probably will be acted
upon.

In his talk on "Pdogress' ’nt the

Leader Jim Ellcnwo . to show why
he as a rational. reasoning human
being. stood for progress. for the
welfare of the race in general. even
to the extent of discarding some of
tho cherished notions of our fathers
showed by contrast the lack of
progress in lOWcr animals. He
brought out the fact that the lower
animals had always lived the same
and that .the baby kitten . at his
home was living a‘nd doing Just
what baby kittens had always done.
and when it grew it would continue
to do Just like other members of its
family have always don There is
no change from generst on to gen-
eration in this form of life but with
human beings there is an entirely
different story.
"Each generation." he said has
been marked by steps of progress
and these steps have been no rapid
that we today enjoy and do many
more things than our fathers could.
Just in the space of one generation
the progress of the human race has
been so rapid as to revolutionize our
entire mode of living and thinking.
From an individualistic type of
primitive savage who lived his own
superstitious life in ignorance and
hardship we have progressed to that
state where we live as a group of
people cooperating with each other
for.th'e welfare of the entire group.
For instance we enjoy the privileges
of excellent food. shelter. clothing
and conveniences of everyday life
because our cooperative efforts
make this possible. Our good roads.
our sewage systems. garbage collec-
tions. etc, are the result of many
people paying a small sum. These
things in all probability could not
be enjoyed if wedepended upon the
individual as such.
Leader Jim gave a verbal picture
of the first man with his supersti-

how the rivers and mountains were
