Formef ,sées No Convention Issue—Latter Would Send Question to People. BY ROBERT BARRY. On the Republican flank of the Sen- ate aisle the desks of Senator Walter E. Edge of New Jersey and Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio. are side by side. Mr. Willis is a militant dry; Mr. Edge an aggressive wet. The Ohioan wrote most of the so-called “little Volstead act’—the Willis-Camphell bill, a drastic supplement to to the original enforcement _statute. The Jerseyite is author.of a half dozen bills to pull the teeth of the Volstead code. It was the Willis-Campbell bill which proscribed the right of the medical profession to prescribe beer or wine tonics. Mr. Edge will sponsor in the next Congress legislation to permit_physicians to_prescribe alco- holic beverages, including whisky, for the sick, This preface is glven, to show how far apart the two senatorial neighbors are on the prohibition issue, To each of them was put the question what the Republicans may be expected to do in 1928 respecting the problem, for an accurate crosssection of party policy. The response of Senator Willis might not be hard to guess. Sees No Chance for Repeal. “Personally, I do not believe there will be any contest in the Republican national convention with reference to the eighteenth amendment, or its enforcement,” he said. “The Repub- lican party has always stood by the Constitution and will continue to do s80. Any effort to obtain indorsement of repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment or the enforcement law would not ‘get far in any Republican con- vention. “No one of the leading poi‘ical par- ties will go before the country on a platform for the modification of the enforcement act or nullification of the amendment. No man will be elected President who preaches and practices nullification of the Constitution and the law. Any party that challenges public opinion by nominating a candi- date opposed to law enforcement and the eighteenth amendment will go down in a political defeat.” Edge States His Position. Few men are better qualified to speak for the Republican wets of the North Atlantic seaboard than Senator Edge. He said frankly he saw little, if any, prospect of a ripplé in the 1928 G. O. P. convention over prohibition. “I, for one, am not inclined to de- mand that the party, in convention, shall adopt my viewpoint about this problem,” Mr. Edge said. “It is not that I shall retreat from my own posi- tion or compromise my views in the slightest. Nor does that mean I agree with the policy. I most emphatically do not. X “But it would be a wholly futile gesture to attempt to have the entire Republican party accept my ideas, I know perfectly well it would not, Why then attempt, at this time, something foredoomed before we started?” To that sentiment, which would appear to dispose of all suggestions that the wets in the Republican ranks might become militant in the party convention, Senator Edge added: ‘““As a _matter of fact, the bettering of this deplorable situation should be a strictly non-partisan responsibility. To date the battle has been so waged.” Progress -of Wets Outlined. - Senator Edge was asked this ques- lon: “As a wet, eager to obtain modifica- tion and liberalization of the pro- hibition statutes, do you believe such a prospect as you have outlined meas- ures with the progress which the wets, in both parties, have been claiming?” “I hardly think it necessary for me to reassert the extent of the progress which has been recorded for modifi- cation of existing statutes,” the Sena- tor replied. - “One after another. pro- hibition officials, when free to speak, admit the Jaw in its present form is unenforceable and that it has bred wholesale corruption. Qur problem is to have translated into popular ac- tion at the polls the popular senti- ment which prevails in opposition to the law in its present form. Will Continue Fight for Repeal. “I shall continue to exert every in- fluence possible to bring about the changes which common sense dictates, but at the same time.I am not going to delude myself into thinking that the forthcoming Congress will do anything to alleviate the present state of af- fairs.” “Does that lead you to believe that neither of the major political parties will do anything?” “I assume both will adopt the law enforcement formula,” Senator Edge said. enator Reed of Missourl, as a DRUG PRESCRIPTIONS TO MRS. LYDIG CITED Society Matron Received 5,460 Narcotic Tablets Within Year, I Court Is Told. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 18.—Prescrip- tions purporting to show that Mrs. Rita de Acosta Lydig, divorced wife of the late W. E. D.

I do not have to sacrifice my own convic- tions or alter my position to realize the practical side of the questions you raise. If I belieyed it would advance the cause for which we have been fighting for five years I would not hesitate a moment. The futility of such a move at this time is obvious.” “And a platform fight over prohibi- tion seems unlikely in the resolutions committee or on the convention floor?"” “I would rot undertake to outline the platform of the Republican na- tional convention. I presume I will be a delegate to that convention. I have no present intention to demand a plank such as I might prefer per- sonally. There would be no point in doing it. It would not advance one step the thing for which we are fight- ing and will continue to fight. Expects No Move by Drys. “On tho other hand,” Senator Edge hastened to add, “I would oppose strenuously any declaration against modification or a_suggestion of still more drastic provisions. However, 1 do not expect any such effort. Iam of the opinion that the extreme drys have no desire to stir up that hornet's nest.” Senator Edge, as a Republican wet, agrees with Senator Carter Glass of Virginfa, Democratic dry, that the place for the people to register their sentiments on the prohibition question is in the election of members of Con- gress, “In my judgment,” Mr. Edge said, “nothing will be done by Congress un less the folks back home demand ac- tion from and by their Representa- tives.” Liquor Easily Obtained, He Says. “With the present situation permit- ting practically unlimited opportunity to obtain liquors of all kinds, and the bootleggers and extreme drys, for dif- ferent reasons, but partners just the same, combining to oppose any change, it would indicate the law will become simply a dead letter as have some other unenforceable statutes and con- stitutional amendments, “I regret this type of disposition, but where one’s liberty is not seriously interfered with there is naturally lit- tle impulse to go through with the dif- ficult and involved action hecessary to better the situation legall; (Copyright. 1027, by the North American Newspaper Alliance.)

Jason Noble Pierce Will Make Principal Address at Sessiog Tonight. Special Dispatch to The Sta MERCERSBURG, Pa., October 18.— The fifty-fitth annual sessions of the Synod of the Potomac of the Reformed Church in the United States opened in the new chapel of the Mercersburg Academy, a Reformed Church boys' school, here last night, with 250 min- isters and delegate-elders in attend- ance. This meeting is the first time the chapel has been used for anything but school purposes since its erection. Recitals on the carilon by Anton Brees, Belgian carilloneur, in charge of the carillon, are to be featured in connection with the sessions, preced- her $500,000 libel suit against the New York Daily News. The hear- ing was held on application of the newspaper. Her suit 1s based on testimony printed by the newspaper as having been given in recent bankruptcy pro- ceedings against her, when it was said that Johnson had testified she used narcotics and had lived for six months in 1921 at a Westchester County es- tate of the late Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, while the minister also lived there. They occupled separate rooms, the butler testified today. The prescriptions, admitted over strenuous objections by Mrs. Lydig's counsel, were said to have been filled between February, 1926, and April of this year. The prescriptions, made out to Mrs. Lydig, and stating they were given for a chronic ailment, were issued by various physicians. Mrs. Lydig and Dr. Grant an- nounced their engagement in 1921, The engagement was broken in 1924, | when Bishop Manning refused to give his consent to a marriage in the Episcopal Chuarch, based on the fact that the church does not approve lof the remarriage of divorced per- | sons. | | his pastorate, and rumors_circulated that he had done so in order to wed Mrs. Lydig.

Work done by the Federal Bureau of Efficiency, and its recommendations to the District Commissioners to in- | sure _more efficient welfare work in the District—particularly in connec- tion with the handling of juvenile cases—were explained by Howard B. Gill, investigator for the bureau, at a .meeting of the Monday Evening Club at the Young Women's Christian Association last night. Mr. Gill told of the difficulties caused by lack of legislation authoriz- ing certain functions on the part of varlous organizations, While showing that the work of securing an adequate program for all welfare work is still going on, Mr. Gill made it clear that whatever is done, will have to be ac- complished under handicap due to ex- isting circumstances. Conference Work Cited. Beginning by describing the need of a basic plan of coordination be- tween the Board ot Public Welfare, the Juvenile Court, Police Department and the Board of Education, in the case of dependent, neglected and de- linquent children, Mr. Gill described the organization of a “conference on child welfare In the District of Colum bia,” to secure more eflicient han- dling of cases by the various institu- tions involved. At the organization meeting of the conference, Mr. Gill explained, it was pointed out that there was no means in the District of Columbia for co-ordi- nating the several agencies, due to the lack of a center to which their mutual problems could be brought for conslderation. The outcome of the meeting, he con- tinued, was an agreement that the conference should not take formal ac- tion on the questions submitted to it, but that the conference should arrive at general conclusions suitable to all, and that the Bureau of Efficlency should then make recommendations as it deemed best. From this now it is hoped something may be accom- plished, he said. Views on Laws Conflict. Conflicting interpretations of the law governing the jurisdiction over juvenile lawbreakers charged with felony were cited by the speaker as showing the need for a change. In some instances youths were ena- bled to escape punishment entirely, and in others a situation equally bad was created by sending them to jail, where they would associate with hard- ened criminals. Incarceration in some Institution with others of their age, where they would receive some academic and trade education, is the proper remedy for such cases, in the opinion of the speaker. Mr. Gill deplored the situation whereby children, with poverty as their only offense, are placed in the Industrial Home School with delin- quent children, the result of which he described ‘as unfortunate. He told also of the recognized need of more segregation in the House of Detention. Congested conditions at the District jail have engaged much of the atten- tion of the Bureau of Efficiency, Mr. Gill said. “During the past Summer I have found as many as 16 or 20 men housed in a group of small cells, orig- inally intended to care for 6 or 7 men,” he declared. Private Soclety Urged. Mentioning various other problems which the Bureau of Efficiency has been considering, Mr. Gill advocated the establishment in;the District of a private Children’s Add Soclety, which would see to the placing of children in homes and looking after their wel- fare, and thereby do away with the combined activities of the Juvenile Court, Police Department and the Board of Public Welfare in the handling of certain cases. He also advocated the establishment of regular juvenile officers of the Wo- men’s Bureau, so that a uniformed policeman would not be required to go after a juvenile delinquent who had merely run away or committed some minor offense. In addition he ad- vised the establishment of a receiving home for children and industrial schools for children to come under the head of the child welfare division of the Board of Public Welfare. Coming as an aftermath of Mr. Gill's address was an address by Ed- win A Moores, lawyer, on the codifi- cation of the laws of the District of Columbia, and the need of new and specific laws to cover various phases of welfare activities here. Describing local laws, Mr. Moores declared: “You have a_splendid exhi- bition of legislative chaos. If there ever was anything confused this is it.” As he made the latter statement he exhibited a volume containing all District welfare laws which he had spent five months in obtaining from more than 40 volumes of law books. Cites Easy Removals. Mr. Moores declared there are four laws defining what constitutés a de- linquent child. Some day, for instance, Mr, Moores predicted, “some industrious lawyer is going to get busy and take children out of the Industrial Home School, because, by law, there is no power to hold them there.” The speaker also described other conflicting laws in the District. Following the address the club adopted a resolution to have the Dis- trict laws gotten together by Mr. Moores, bound and kept as public documents. ‘The club also adopted a resolution to support the District Commissioners in their effort to obtain adequate housing facilities in a central location for the Social Hygiene Clinic at Gal- linger Hospital and the_ Tuberculosis Clinic at Tuberculosis Hospital, fol- lowing charges by Dr. D. Percy Hickling, District alienist, that the present clinic facilities are inadequate, Paul U. Kirby was elected to the office of recording secretary. The following new members of the club were elected: Miss Ruth Devine, Paul L, Kirby, Maj. Bernard R. Ken- nedy, Harry Moore, Miss Anne Eliza- beth Thomas, W. P. Jackson, Miss Adele D. Heuritze and Miss Janet B. [ Houtz. ‘Willard C. Smith, vice presi- dent, presided. » —_— An electric pressure test applied to apples shows when the crop is ready to pick. FURNITURE DAYS ALL THIS WEEK-' TREMENDOUS SAVINGS ON FURNITURE - RUGS -DRAPES THE HECHT CO| C, TUESDAY. OCTOBER 18. FLYING WITH GEN. PATRICK BY MAJ. GEN, M. M. PATRICK, Chlef of the Army Alr Corps. Medical Aspects of Aviatiess Unlike the birds, man was not fsh. ioned primariiy for flight. This great and sudden transition from earth to air, from slow locomotion to swift and sustained flight, therefore, has called forth much of his reserve of adaptability and has subjected his physical make-up to unwonted strain. The albatross can soar for days at a time on tireless wings. The visual :quity of the eagle, it is said, Is tele- scopic to the exent that, if such a bird could read, fine print would be legible to him at a mile away. How- ever this may be, it is generally con- ceded that man, even at his best, has no such vision and no power of visual accommodation as that which enable a bird to pursue its fiight at the rate of a mile a minute through thick branches of trees, rarely if ever striking an obstacle, By nature man is limited to some 20,000 feet of altitude, and if he would survive the effects of anoxemia be- yond that altitude, he must have oxy- gen artifically. Temperature falls with increasing altitude, necessitating artifical means of heat preservation in the form of speclal clothing. Like Facing a Gale, Traveling at high rates of speed has the same effect as facing a gale of wind, and must be met with suit- able clothing, wind shields, and gog- gles to protect the eyes both from wind and glare. Snow-blindness is a matter of common knowledge, and there is a similar effect from the glare of large bodies of water and from flying toward the sun. In night flying, the aviator must rival the nighthawk and the owl. Too often he must wing his way through fog, clouds and snowstorms. For these reasons the successful pilot must evelop another sense, the so-called sense of flight,” since when other ac- customed senses fall to supply the necessary afferent stimulation to his sensorium, he must be able to feel his position, to sense his direction and speed on. The feel of the seat, the hum of the wind in the rigging of his plane and the pressure of the air against his cheek all are part of this sixth ‘‘sense.” Without assist- ance from vision, however, a flyer cannot fly very long; he must know where the ground is, and in absense of a horizon, as in clouds and fogs, must depend upon instruments, in its use of which good vision is essential. It is vital, therefore, that the physi- cal and psychic equipment of the flyer should be of the highest order to the end that he may survive the stress and successfully meet the requirments of what is to man an unnatural en- vironment and an unaccustomed task. Of those weighed in the balance at our primary and advanced flying schools some two-thirds have been found wanting and are eliminated, since to attempt to train them further would be a needless and unwarranted expense to the Government and a use- less waste of life. ‘We do not know every quality es- sential to success in aviation, but Night School Books New and Used Bought and Sold BIG BOOK SHOP—933 G YOUR HOME WITH OIL | Clean Economical Safe ~oIL l.‘.-\l‘l:ll SECTION OF THE ([ER.

Cardio- vascular stability is essential to with- stand sudden changes in atmospheric pressure incident to rapid gain and loss of altitude and the rapld changes in position required by serial acro- hatics. The respiratory mechanism should be normal to resist the insidi- ous effects of anoxemia and the upper respiratory passages must be clair of inclammatory and obstructive condli- tions. Wae speak of the “fiying tempera- ment” or the “flying personality,” “inherent fiying ability” and *‘aero- nautical aptitude,” meaning an unde- find temperamental or psychic fit- ness, posessed by many yet not by all who attempt to fly. We do not know just what this intangible factor is, but we surmise that it is compounded of intelligence, kood judgment, cool- ness, stability with quick reaction time perhaps, and a natural neuro- muscular co-ordination, present in skilliful and absent in awkward indi- viduals, (Copyright. 1927.) 1 0.
