In his address yesterday before the Methodist preachers of Washington and | vicinity, as Waugh Methodist Church, | a ! Mr.. Howard took exception .to the | charge by F. Scott McBride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon | League, that Washington was one of | the two wettest cities in the country. | He thought there were other big cities | much worse than Washington, and said | that during his two weeks here, he had | not seen an “open saloon” or an in- toxicated person. | "Mr. Howard cailed upon the preachers | to help in a campaign of “pitiless pub- licity” to enforce prohibition. “Agita- | tion is the alopathic_remedy for the | heart disease of the Nation, which is | non-enforced prohibition,” he declared. “It can be cured only by pitiless preach- | ing, the power that rules the world.” LEGION DATES FIXED. | Committee Announces.. .Eleventh | Convention at Loulsville. | INDIANAPOLIS, January 15 (#).— | The national executive committee of | the American Legion, meeting here | yesterday, fixed the dates for the | eleventh convention at Louisville as September 30 to October 3, The resignation of National Chaplain | Herman J.

Y, (®)—Cornell Uni- versity has developed methods to speed up chemical analyses, ordinarily among | the slowest of occupations. Many la- borfous analyses have been eliminated by using a microscope to study reac- tions which have been invisible hith- erto. The chemist of a salt concern having | difficulty in removing foreign particles | from its product, employed analytical methods for two days without getting a satisfactory answer. Then he went to Prof. E. M. Chamot of the Depart- ment of Chemistry at Cornell, who has developed the course in microscope study. Two minutes with a microscope showed that nearly 40 per cent of the white substance was not salt, but gyp- survived by her husband and 12 children.
