ESTABLISHED 1873 THREE CHICA HOUSE PASSES BILLTO GROUP DRY AGENCIES \ Wet Members Offer Little Op- position to the Reorgan- ization Measure HOUSE VOTE WAS 196-1 Bill Is Added to Senate's List —Several Amendments Were Defeated : Washington, April 28.—(UP)—After serving as a new vehicle for expres- sion of wet and dry sentiment in the house, tie bill to give legislative sanction to the reorganization of the treasury's enforcement agencies has been added to the senate’s list? of pending administration bills to make prohibition more drastic. The bill would raise the prohibi- tion unit and the customs service to the status of bureaus headedby com- missioners appointed by the treasury secretary. These bureaus, with the coast guard, would be grouped un- der the direction of a single assistant secretary charged with supervision of prohibition enforcement. The measure also carries an amendment to place all except the highest prohi- bition officials under civil service regulations. Wet members of the house offered little opposition to the proposal and it was pussed after a sharply _re- ricted debate by a vote of 196 to making enforcement _ more drastic, some of the wets held, it. will make the law more objectionable and in this way win more supporters for odification. A number of amendments, including one by Repre- Laguardia, —_progressive- of New’ York, to legalize 2.75 per cent beer, were thrown out or de- feuted. TODAY FLYING NEWS, TWO KINDS. OFFICIAL INCOMPETENCY. POSTOFFICE EFFICIENCY. FORD'S THREE-MOTOR SHIP. BY ARTHUR BRISBANE Coppi ht, 1926) Colonel Mitchell knows flying. His record as a flying officer excels that of any other man of rank in the United States army. Those that know nothing about flying and kicked him out of the army rendered unintentionally a great service to the United States. For Mitchell today is telling the pe ple, without interference from swivel-t chair “higher-ups,” truths that thej people should hear. It is a pleasure to give to an au- dience of a good many millions a few extracts fre Colonel Mitchell’s recent talk in Pasadena. The Pacific coast, facing Ai and deeply inter- ested in flying machine protection, welcomes Mitchell. Let the people consider these statements from af competent mai “We are so far behind the times,” Colonel Mitchell asserted, “that we don’t even know what an honest-to-goodness airplane looks like. Despite the fact that we have spent $ in the United States since the world war, just playing around -with aviation, our le have no ade- quate conception of what air power means. Competent offi- cers are resigning from the sir service of the army and. navy, disgusted by their inability to get anywhere with a constructive program. The United States to- day has not more than 450 first- class air pilots, despite the large ni of w trained men available here at the end of the war.’ ' The fault is not with this country, which invented the flying machine, and not with American fliers, or American manufacturers, but with official indifference. Listen to this from Colonel Mitchell: “Planes are bein in the te ae of built today Los Angeles and flying from this city to New York in twenty hours, or of making a nonstop fig from New York City to Peking, China. That is the answer as to what air power could do in this country were it not throttled by the army and navy.” c tor ness men and great industrialists, un- like some of our Tmitation si and amateur defense chiefs, sound asleep. Colonel Mitche! “The thing we need is devel- opment of civil aviation, bear- ing in mind that from 90 to 100 per cent of the planes and men w commercial aviation’ would be available and usable in event of war. pe “The - as of the ee tates wi e he 000 a year fors “years in de- ve ing aviation.” The Egers bel bsg British ene- mies at bay. for years, because every Boer had a rifle na knew how to use it, Our revolutionary ancestors were able to deal with Britis redcoats ef. fectively, because they had rifles; em- ployed on Indians and bears, and knew how to them.

MAYOR ISSUES here ountie | CLEAN-UP WEEK | PROCLAMATION}. Urges Citizens to Take Part in Campaign to Make Bismarck Beautiful Elaborate plans for the conduct of ter part of the week. ‘ In previous years the Association of Commerce has sponsored the clean- ing up of the city in the early spring, but this year the Lions club offered to take charge of the work and its offer was accepted. All other ci organizations and luncheon clubs the city are being asked to the work, however, and “each will be alloted certain duties. E The first step launching the campaign was the securing of a proc- lamation from Mayor A. P. Lenhart. The mayor urges all residents of the ity to make a special effort during next week towards cleaning up their premises and to help in cleaning up’ vacant lots. He also urges that the practice of planting boulevards to garden truck be discontinued. The Proclamation The text of the mayor's proclama- ion follows: “The City of Bismarck. acting to- gether with the Lions Club, the Asso- ciation of Commerce, and other asso- ciations, has designated the week of May 3d to 8th inclusive as Clean-Up and Paint-Up Week for Bismarck. “During this week every citizen of Bismarck should make an effort to clean up his premises of all kinds of rubbish, trim the shade trees, the front and back yard; to pa premises if necessary; to abolis places that might breed flies and mos- quitoes; to eliminate dandelions and ‘and to help clean up vacant practice of the boulevards to € rden truck be discontinued--a well ept lawn instead will add much more ‘to the beauty of the city. Show Civic Pride “This is an opportunity for every citizen not only to show his personal pride, but his civic pride. Bismarck is known as the City of Homes, and we should all endeavor to make it such. No city is attractive if it’ is dirty and littered up? All should- be willing to cooperate in cleaning up not only their own premises, but in helping to clean up the premises of others where help is necessary. “Let us work together to clean up and paint up Bismarck during ¢! week, and then keep it that way throughout the entire year and for many years to come. , grass and flowers.. Let us make Bis- marck not only clean, but beautiful. The result will be a cleaner, heslth- jer, happier and more attractive city.” China has more than 200 searate kinds of money...
