WOMEN COMMITTEE CLAIMS PROFITS FOR DRY LAWN DECADE} Balance Sheet Is Prepared to Answer Foes of Prohibi- ‘tion Amendment Baltimore, April 7—(P)—Ten years of prohibition were audited Tuesday by the woman’s national committee for law enforcement and profits found greater than losses, A’ balance sheet covering 1920 to 1930 was submitted by the organiza- tion to answer dry law foes who have based their attack on what they saw 8 decreased income to the govern- ment and similar economic declines. ‘The audit, prepared from numerous, Official sources, was discussed by Mrs. Arthur Hedstrom, Buffalo, N. Y., be- fore a gathering of Baltimote’ club- women. Mrs, Henry W. Peabody, Or- Jando, Fla., chairman of the commit- tee, said in Washington the “profit and loss account” was prepared “to remove the impression that the 18th amendment has decreased_in any way the income to the government.” See Bigger Producticn - In its recapultulation, the study quoted the Wickersham commission report to show a total gain of: “In- creased production, increased effici- enty of labor, elimination of blue Mondays, decrease in industrial ac- cidents, increase in’ savings, and de- crease in demands on charities and social agencies.” The accounting, which was headéd “people of the United States in ac- count with prohibition, inc.,” showed losses as: i One hundred and seventy thousand saloons; $363,000,000 in federal income from taxes on $1,817,000,000 worth of liquor; 64 per cent decrease of liquor formerly drunk; 38 out of .60 “Kelley” cures and 60 out of 60 “Neal” cures closed} 10 to 60 per cent reduction in juvenile court cases; 54 per cent drop) in number of children cared for by welfare associations; 50 per cent de- crease in arrests for prostitution and 11, per cent drop in number of 18 to 20-year-old boys sent to penal insti- tutions. Gains Are Listed Listed as gains were: Two billion dollars in federal in- come taxes; $79,000,000 in automobile and. casoline taxes; 350,000 gasoline stations and 3,615 branch banks; 26 per cent increase in milk consump- tion; 30,000,000 new savings bank depositors; $68,000,000,000° more life insurance holdings; 400,000 new homes a year since 1921; 47 per cent more hotels, average wage increase of 25 per cent; 150 per cent rise in high] °. school students; 30 per cent reduction in infant mortality; 300 per cent in- crease in college students. The statement said: “We do not claim that the gains of the last 10 years are due to prohibi- tion alone, but acknowledge gladly other agencies which have contributed to these gains. What we wish to call your attention to is that there are gains.” MANAGUA REPORTS SAID EXAGGERATED) Minister Hanna Says Only One Has Been Killed and One Other Wounded Washington, April 7.—(#)—Ameri- can Minister Hanna at Managua ad- vised the state department Tuesday that reports of the shooting of many looters in the earthquake-stricken city had been exaggerated. The Nicaraguan national guard, he said, had killed only one looter and wounded another. “Investigations, have indicated the action in both instances was justified. ‘The marines here have not killed or wounded anyone. The commander of ‘the national guard, after the declara- tion of martial law on March 31, is- sued orders that looters would be shot on sight. “This order was.modified on April 4 in the sense that only persons found looting valuable property should .be shot.” At the navy department it was re- ported the navy transport plane, car- ryving medical supplies to Managua, took off Tuesday from Hampton Roads for Miami, Fla., by way of Sa- vannah. Minister Hanna's report was in re- sponse to a specific inquiry Monday from the state department. The state department still was without official information of the incident between President Moncado and Lieutenant Commander William B. Hetfield, Tinited States navy, growing out of the death of Sergeant W. H. Pigg of the marines. Hanna reported that already 650 dead had been buried and that while the search for bodies continued it was probable hundreds never would be re- covered.

By ADMIRAL HUGH RODMAN Written for NEA Service Washington, April 7.—All the world! has thrilled to the daring and roman-} tic plans of Captain Sir George Hu- bert Wilkins to make.a submarine Passage under the Arctic ice pack. But it should be when the results are unlikely to add one fota to the ] world’s benefits, and little to the scientific informa- tion that is not al- ready known. Sir Hubert plans to cross from the vicinity of Spitz- bergen via the North’ Pole to Ber- ing Strait in the Rodman North Pacific. Of this distance about 1,500 miles lies under. the Arctic ice fields, unless open water be found, which I believe is not at all likely, ‘ The Nautilus is the former U, 8. 8. O-12, one of our older. type sub- marines, 175 feet in length, which/' has been reconditioned for this special work. Commander Sloane Danenhower, a graduate of the Naval Academy, who resigned in 1911, will be her commanding officer. He is experienced, capable and resourceful in submarine work. The Nautilus will be in the Hands of an expert. Much Remodeling Done In her original condition the con- ning tower and other deck erections required no special protection; but to fit her for cruising under ice all these have been fitted under a rounding ‘sled deck.” Fore and aft runners have been added to this, so that the vessel may glide along the ufder sur- face of the ice. Other changes include remodeling and strengthening the bow to stand the shock of impact, and the addition of a cushioning projecting spar; re- moval of the old torpedo tubes; a div- ing chamber forward to enable divers to leave the vessel under water to examine injuries or make necessary | sponsibility, sponablity, You can We Understand , Webb Bros.

But they cannot be used under water. ‘When the craft is submerged, motive Power, lighting, heating end all other purposes are entirely dependent upon the storage batteries. ‘When these become exhausted it'is imperative to come to the surface at once to recharge before another sub- surface run can be made. The fuel tanks of the Nautilus give her a surface cruising range of about 3,000 miles, but by filling ‘the ballast tanks, normally used in diving, with oil, this would be extended to about 6,000 miles. While oil may be used for ballast as well as water, still it 18 well with- in the range of possibility that the tanks may be needed in an emer- | gency, so that the oll in them would have to be sacrificed. In her original design the storage batteries gave her a submerged cruis- ing radius of from 55 to 60 miles, at @ speed of two knots. In Arctic tem- peratures, however, the batteries would be reduced to 70 per cent ef- ficiency, thus reducing the | radius to 42 miles. T have seen a statement attributed to Commander Danenhower that the Nautilus can traverse in 41.66 hours at three knots, submerged, 125 miles. But from the best available sources of information I believe this statc- ment or estimate to be in error, end that mine is more nearly in accord- ance with records of the navy depart- ment, and more nearly correct. Speed Cut Down If my estimate is correct, and the Nautilus were to use the full battery charge, with no reserve, it would take 21 hours to make 42 miles. Then she would have to come to the sutface and spend eight hours in recharging. The amount of fuel consumed in re- charging is equivalent to that con- sumed in 100 miles of surface cruising. Considering together the 21 hours) of cruising and the eight hours of r charging while stationary, the craft's, average speed would be reduced to, one and one-half knots at best. Hence to make 1,500 miies sub- ;merged it would require 1,000 hours, or about 42 days, provided that her under-water cruising limits could be distributed so that at the end of each battery limit she could come to the surface, recharge, and proceed. im- mediately. I believe, however, that such will be far from the actual casc. Depth Is Limited It must be remembered that the| diving limit of the submarine is about 200 feet. At ‘a materially greater depth the pressure would be beyond her designed resistance, and would cause disaster. Even under open water, to man- euver safely in this depth zone re- quires the strictest care and attention if disaster is to be averted.

OSCAR JOHNSON, Prop. - Phone 631: there would be no way left, of which Tam aware, by which geographic loca- tion could even be approximated. The submarine then would be ab- solutely helpless. If she attempted to. get from under the ice by the shortest route to open water she could not direct her course, and would be, hopelessly lost. From the ice barrier in the vicinity of Spitzbergen to the pole is about 540 miles. On the opposite, or Pa- cific side, toward Bering Strait, the shortest distance to open water is about 50 miles, This total of 1,500 miles appears to be a minimum. Figuring no delays, no extra ex- penditure of fuel oil, and no loss from leakage or other accident, the Nau- tilus apparently has sufficient oll to accomplish her entire journey from Spitebergen to Unalaska. But I do not believe for one mo- ment that any such theoretic and’ ideal conditions will exist that will enable her to accomplish her journey and reach her destination before her oil supply shall have been eXhausted.

V. Freeman, deputy state game and fish commissioner and speaker: of. tHe house at the last legislative session, told :members of the Kiwanis club Tuesday noon. 2 James Madison, in commenting. on the quality of legislative leadership, asserted in 1887 that not more than 10 men did most of the. work in the Virginia legislature, Freeman said. He also quoted Confucius as saying that officeholers too frequently were willing to do anything to get an office and willing to do anything to keep it. ‘This, he said, is not much different from the current criticism of today. Defending his legislative colleagues, however, the speaker said most of them would be able to go to their re- ward with a consciousness of work well done and that few bodies serve the state so faithfully or so well. Discussing the work of the North Dakota assembly, Freeman said he had found the work of the speaker- ship to be largely mechanical and that the influence of the office ap- peared to be over-rated, since the ac- tions of the presiding officer are con- trolled largely by rules and precedent. Most of the bills offered at each session, he asserted, originate with individuals or groups which seek to enhance or protect their interests by obtaining legislative action. Among the issues which he said have been presented recently to this or other legislatures are those of railroads vs. bus and truck lines; chain stores vs. home-owned establishments, and agricultural vs. other products. In the latter class, he said, comes the law to tax oleomargarine, passed by the North Dakota assembly.
