PINCHOT DRY CODE IS WELL FINANGED Public Subscriptions Make | Up for $250,000 Wet Legislature Denied. Special Dispatch to The Star, HARRISBURQ, Pa., June 19.—The Pinchot prohibition enforcement law will bo enforced to the letter. That is tho answer of Giffort Pinchot, reform governor of the Keys stone state, to tho members of the last legislature, who adjourned, ro- fusing the nceded appropriation of $250,000 to meet enforcement ex- penses. Pinchot {8 to have the money—by private subscription—as he wants it. Behind him all of the reform forces of the state are solidly liniag up. The W. C. T. U. hag announced its mem- bership will raise the cash, while At- torney General George W. Woodruff bag ruled the governor will be within his rights In accepting it and using it to see that the liquor trafiic is squelched in this state. New Personal Triamph. It is another personal triumph for Pinchot. How he forced the Penn- sylvan machine to agree to his economy measures abolishing 26 per cent of the “easy” state jobs; forced 1 his reorganization code and ohibition bill, is history. But wets wers sure they had him when they killed his prohibition ap- propriation bill. It begins to look different now. Wets cheered when to avold a dead lock the senate receded on the $250, 000 appropriat But almost while thelr voices were still loudly clamor- ing it was discovered that a routine measure had been slipped through changing the auto license law. It provided that the commissioner of highways, an appointee of the gov- ernor, may spend as much of the money derived from automobile licenses as he deems necessary for enforcement of any all laws of the highway departmen Under this law any con lice oficer, member of the authorized official of the jon has the right to vehicle on the highway, in- get the engine number or F uch other information as may be necessary,” and generally these machines are car ¢ Open Police School. = state police, under the reor- iization code, With the approval of the governor, may assist any other depn ing out the laws # A new s in op- where in- work is be- ended to hese men running. even facin 3 ion he wets w table, po- stats po- cure, money against them. | E o adjournment of the legisiature cash has been pour- ing in.

By the Associated Press. CHRISTIANIA. June 19.—The ad- miralty, in view of the abandonment by Amundsen of his flight across the north pole, has ordered the Nor- wegian expedition, sent out to render the explorer any necessary aid, to return from Spitzbergen. SEATTLE, Wash, June 19.—Capt. Roald Amundsen’s proposal to fly across the north pole was formulated last vear when the explorer was in Norway in connection with the busi- ness of his polar basin scientific ex- pedition. It was originally intended to make the flight last summer, but unfavorable ice conditions caused & postponement. Recent advices indicated that con- ditlons were again unfavorable, and persons close to the explorer here sald they were not surprised when they laarned that the proposed flight had been abandoned. Recent high temperatures in north- ern Alaska and Canada, it was ex- plained, undoubtedly opened danger- ds” or open stretches in the ice pack and caused sheavy The same conditions, it was be- lieved, prevailed throughout the area fringing on the Polar sea. Started In 1918 The Amundsen expedition, under the auspices of the Norwegian gov- ernment, set out from Norway in 1918 to drift with the arctic ice pack from off the northeastern coast of Siberia, studying meteorological and ocean- ographic conditions and air and ocean currents and to determine, if possible, whother the theory that land exists in the vicinity of the north pole were well founded. The expedition met with some de- lay in 1920 when the Maud, the ex- ploration ship, lost a propeller off the Siberian coast and put into Seattle for repairs after a successful navigation of the northeast passage from west to east. The Maud resumed the voy- age last summer, and during the win- ter was reported north of Wrangell Island. Infrequent radio messages since have told of the slow drift to the northward.

PHENOL (carbolic acid) This table is worth thoughtful study by every man and woman in America. It offers scientific proof that the days of poisonous, burning antiseptics in the home are numbered. ERE is a table showing the results of a test of germicidal strength be- tween Zonite, the World War antiseptic, which is non-poisonous and germs that were still alive after being ex- posed to the solution indicated in the first column for five minutes, fifteen minutes and thirty minutes, respectively. harmless to the human body, and carbolic acid, a deadly poison, as destructive to the human body as fire. The test was made against the bacteria contained in saliva by a bacteriological laboratory with an international reputa- tion. The result would be accepted by any scientist as incontrovertible. Saliva from the human mouth is filled with bacteria or germ life. The strength of an antiseptic can be determined by the amount of water that may be added to it without destroying its ability to render saliva sterile (kill all germ life). Mere reduction of the number of germs by an antiseptic is of little value. If a few are left alive they will multiply at an unthinkable rate as soon as the effect of the antiseptic has worn off. Now examine the table carefully. In the first column the amount of water that was added to the The result of the test is as follows: One drop of Zonite added to 150 drops of water was applied to millions of bacteria coated with saliva. In five minutes not one was leftalive. Phenol (pure carbolic acid) at the same dilution failed to kill all germs in fifteen minutes. And now remember this—Zonite can be applied to a cut or wound absolutely pure. When taken into the mouth and gargled in the throat at proper dilution its destruc- tion of germs is almost instantaneous. If you have a deadly poison in your home, get rid of it!
