ORYLAW DEBATE IACED OVER RADID Senators Brookhart and Ed- wards, Mrs. Norton and Wayne Wheeler Take Part. By the Associated Press. Prohibitlon was "our greatest vic- tory in the World War” and also was “‘folsted upon a war-crazed people,” in the respective opinion of Senator Brookhart, Republican, Iowa, and Sen- ator Edwards, Democrat, New Jersey. They debated the subject last night over the radio, while Mrs. Norton, Democratic Rer from New Jersey, was critic hibition in a speech at another radio station. The count for and against prohibition was evened when Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, issued a state- ment assailing the views of Senator Edwards. - Attack on League. The New Jersey Senator gave much of his time to an attack on the league, calling Mr. Wheeler the “archtraitor of American liberty, freedom of thought and action” and declaring that "not even the sacred courts of our land are free of the poisonous taint of the league’s filthy hands and breath.” He termed an “inexcusable lie,” Mr. Wheeler's recent statement that pro- hibition has been a suc and added that the league official’s “‘peewee mind and mental incapacity for grasping facts make him {mmune to convinc- ing proof” that prohibitlon is a fail- ure. Attack on Edwards. replied that “like a bad, Senator Bd- his opponents with names like “archtraitor,” while at the recent wet meeting he referred to himself and hi ciates as “Chaste Percivals,” wl to fill the Holy Grail with 2. cent beer.” He #ald Senator Edwards’' ‘“unredeemed pledge to make New Jersey as wet as the Atlantic Ocean rankles in his mind." Senator Brookhart declared the uni- versal ratification of the eighteenth amendment was proof that the ma- jority of the people desired prohibl- tion. He said enforcement was be- coming more efficient daily and that #f any modification of the Volstead ted it will be to make it he Towa Senator predicted vote on the subject in Con- would be overwhelmingly in|f favor of the drys, Persons who say that the country has {fmproved because of prohibition, ‘know are not speaking the " Norton declared.

Farmer Leads Police to Buried Money, Stolen From Bank. 0., February 26 UP).— $4,000 of 310,640 ob- tained in the robbery of the American Bank here last December 30, was re- covered yesterday when Willlam Perkins, farmer, who has confessed to complicity in the robbery, led of- floers to his farm and dug up four coffee cans containing gold, silver and currency. One can contained $3,300. - e A‘Hélping Hands. I o ——< Using language too emphatic, in his room sits Gaffer Gray, suffering from pains rheumatic, and I hear him sadly say, “I'd have patience to en- dure it if the friends who wish to cure it would be good and stay away. There's the learned and wise physi- clan who has stucied human ills; he can't help my flerce condition, can’t relieve my redhot thrills; but the iocoed village tinner, has a cure that is & winner, he would feed me piebald pllls. My physiclan graduated from a famous school in Rome, lore and knowledge have been crated In his high and shining dome; he has studied all the wheezes of the sages on dis- eases, raked them with a fine tooth comb. And he does his best to ald me, with his pellets green and red, saying sextons will not spade me to a cold untimely bed; in six weeks I will be better, and I'm banking, don- nerwetter, on the things the doc has sald. But the village wagonmaker has a dope that cured his aunt when the smiling undertaker thought her almost ripe to plant; and he begs that 1 will try it, to my swollen thews ap- ply it. and T weep and say 1 shan't. And the eager depot master has a cure that healed his dad, it's a cross between a plaster and a porous Ifver pad; and the plumber says saltpeter makes the rheumatism teeter, knocks it out, however bad. When we're sick our friends would doom us to fresh novelties in pain, bringing to our bed- rooms brumous cures that are mot safe or sane; all the carpenters and tinkers have their cures that docs and thinkers know are silly, crude and vain. When my flivver needs repair- ing let the skilled mechanic come; when the pipes are badly faring, let the plumber come and plumb; when my form’s in bad condition I would have the learned physician, not the man who beats a drum.” (Copyright.) AL MASON TURCO-RUSSIAN TILT. Constantinople Would Bar Soviet Goods as Trade Reprisal. CONSTANTINOPLE, February 26 (P).—The relations of Turkey and Russia have been cooled as a result of the Soviet's action in prohibiting importations from Turkey. This has led to a demand of the Constantinople Chamber of Commerce that the Turk- ish government prohibit the import of Russian goods as a reprisal. The soviet’s ban followed the al- leged discovery by Russian agents that Turkey's exports to Russia were exceeding her total production, indl cating, the Russians claimed, that Turkey was sending to Russia mer- chandise from Greece and Italy which labeled Turkish. reveal innumerable Col- bert-laid roofs.~ fOur prestige as tinners is built on superior serv- ice, as you'll find out once we handle a roofing job § for you. & Repairs a Specialty Maurice J.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 26.—The National Council of the Episcopal Churches was forced yesterday to cut $200,440 from the general program for this year because of the failure of some dioceses to meet their full quotas for the general church budget ot $4,212,350. Missionary activity especially will suffer from the failure to raise the budget, since $32,917 was cut from the _ appropriations for mlssionary work in China, Japan, the Philip- pines, the West Indies and Alaska, and $48935 from the allotment for the missionary districts of conti- nental United States. Other reductions included $34,260 in headquarters work; $385,125 in ap- propriations for the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, the church mission help and other co-operating agencies; $10,- 000 in the appropriation for the American Church Institute for Ne- groes, which maintanis 11 industrial schools for negroes in the South; $23.000 in miscellaneous work under way in the various dioceses and $10.- 000 from appropriations to church colleges. Although the quotas of all the dio- ceses weren ot met,” the amount which they will pay is $50,000 great- er than any amount previously re- ceived for national church work.
