T e et il Second Section ] i el NEW BRITAIN VOTERS ARE CLAL EW BRI T NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 19 STRONG FOR LIGHT WINES AND BEER National Liberal Alliance Workers Are Here Collecting Referendum Ballots. Miss Helen L. Raughan, national director of the woman's committee of the National Liberal Alliance, spent | a few hours in this city yesterday di- recting a corps of two young women ballot collectors to gather in the votes that have been cast here for the past six weeks. TFor the remainder of !hr‘ week these aldes, whose motto is ““The Volstead Act Must Go" and “The Blue Laws Must Go", will be here, after which the ballots will be sent to the national headquarters for sort-| ing and counting. Miss Baughan expressed the opin- fon that fully two-thirds of the vot- ing population in this city had ex- pressed a preference in this referen- dum and while she explained that ghe | could not at this time support heri opinion by facts, she did think that more than 95 per cent of those who voted here expressed a decided pref- erence for the return of light wines and beers. In explaining the work of the Na- tional Liberal Alllance, which Miss; Baughan sald {s soon to move its headquarters from Boston to Wash- ington, D. C., the national director said that the aim is not to repeal the 18th amendment, but to repeal the Volstead act which, in enforcing the 18th amendment, puts the ban on any beverage containing more than one- half of one per cent of alcohol. It is within the province of congress to re- peal this Volstead act and permit the return of light wines and beers, with- out affecting the 18th amendment, she says, and the National Liberal Al- liance aims to take a referendum of the whole country and submit the re- sult to the congressmen and senators in a demand for a change. Speaking of her work throughout New England, the director said that voting everywhere indicates that a majority of the people want light wines and beer and in Maine, she sald, the vote was 99 to one in favor | of it.” Almost everywhere, she ex- plained, it is more than 90 to 10 in favor. The ballots which are taken up here will be counted and the result made known as soon as possible, Miss Baughan said She also added that later in the season the National Liber- al Alllance plans to take an active part in politics, working with the candidates who are on a wet plat- form, and that New Britain and vicin- ity would be the center of a whirl- wind campaign. Expressing her personal opinion, Miss Baughan said that her own ob- servation has”caused her to believe that under the present.system, wheré- by moonshine ligror {8 considered quite the proper thing, the rising gen- erdtion {s suffering -mentally ‘and physically. She says she sees many instances where young girls and young ; FINAL men are debasing themselves morally and physically with this unwhole- some stuff, and she predicts that un- less there is a change and light wines and beers are returned, under proper government supervision as the al llance advocates, there will be serfous consequences in the life of Americans, PLANP. 0. CHANGES | Windows in Post Office Will Be Abol- ished Soon and Counters Will Take Their Place. Washington, Aug. 4.—The familiar post office “window' swhere all sorts and conditions of persons have re- seived their mail for generations is to be abolished. TUncle Sam will serve his customers over a counter and quit shoving his post office wares through a hole, ““The principal reason for the arrival of the counter is the parcel post," said a spokesman of the department yes- terday. “Bulky packages do not eas- ily go through the narrow slot at the bottom of the grilled window. De- Designs for new post offices recom- mended by the committee on post of- fice buildings call for long collapsable windows and a counter for the parcel post section. Scales sunk in the coun- ter speed up the weighing of pack- ages. “The grill is also removed from most of the other service windows in the lobbies of the newest post offices. It is still kept, however, at the win- daws where considerahle money trans- actions are carried on, for the pur- post of safety.” The window with grill was origin- ated to protect the post office against robbers. Sailor Lassoes a Speeding Torpedo Constantinople, Aug. 4.—A French torpedo-boat recently loosed a tor- pedo during practice, and the mech- anism sped straight for the bathing beach of the island of Khalki, in the Sea of Marmora. The people saw it coming -and rushed to the hills for safety. All but a Russian sailor. He saw it was losing speed, and swam out to it with .4 length of rope. Just as it was about to hit the local dock he lassoed it, and a couple of bold boatmen came out and towed it away. The record time for remaining be- neath water by a swimmer is four minutes twenty-nine seconds.

It will witness the production of a series of plays, but this time it stone seats will be filled, it is hoped, by latter day tourists who will find interest in the novel {dea. Gabriele d’Annunzio {8 glving his sup- port to the project, and it {s probable that one of his tragedies will be in the repetory. This ruin of the days of Rome {s beautifully located in the anclent Etruscan town that stands upon the olive-covered hills above Florence. It has admirable acoustic properties. Nineteen tiers of stone seats still re- main In a semi-circle 37 yards in dia- meter, while just below these are three rows of speclal seats used in olden times by persons of rank. It is proposed, beginning next Sep- tember, to give performances every spring and autumn when the weather in Italy is particularly agreeable, In addition to the d’Annunzio play, the first series of productions will {nclude a Greek tragedy; a melodrama, prob- ably Orpheus by Monteverde, and a drama from the pen of a modern | Italian writer, RUSSIAN FAMINE IS NOT OVER YET Relief Workers Say That Food Is Still Needed There Philadelphia, Aug. 4—The people in the famine area of Russia will need |food from the outside for another vear, in the opinlon of Murray 8. Kenworthy of Wilmington, Ohio, who has just returned from Buzuluk where he had charge of the relief work of the American Friends. Deaths from starvation are still oeccurring. As late as the first of Juhe Mr. Kenworthy saw people lying dead on the streets of Samara, the chief city of Samara province. There are large districts in the famine area which have not re- ceived one ounce of food from any re- lief organization. 5 Present crop estimates indicate that 50 per cent of the people in the famine area will not have sufficient food to carry them through next win- ter. The acreage planted was small, due to lack of animals; weakness of the peasants, and lack of seed. Much of the grain shipped from the United States dod not germinate well. There are thousands of orphaned children fn the homes throughout the famine area who will have to be pro- vided with nourishing food as well as clothing and bedding. People in Rags. All the people are in rags. Cloth- ing and material of all kinds is need- ed. The people can spin and weave but they have no flax or wool to work with. Mr. Kenworthy reports that the Russian government co-operated with the rellet workers in every possible way. It supplied free transportation, free cable and telegraph service, free homes and Russian assistante. While lack of food is causing the most suffering, the people are also suffering from disease, typhus in the winter and cholera during the sum- mer months. Medical supplies. are needed in unlimited quantities.
