Prohibition Enforcement Laws Will be Made More Stringent. Washington, May 21.-Sahara will oe a glistening lake compared to the United States, if the plans of the pro hibitionists meet with the approval of congress. The "dry" forces, unsatisfied with the effects of the Volstead law, are mapping out a vigorous campaign to be conducted in the present congress in an effort to stop up the leaks in the dry law dike. * Prohibitionists are certain that the present congress is just as "dry" as was the last and they are hopeful that their campaign will meet with success, although they realize that with elections two years distant, pres sure can not be easily applied to this congress as to the last. The first step in the campaign to put the lid on intoxicants has been taken by Representative Volstead in introducing a bill to prevent the use of beer and wine as medicines. Only the future, can determine the for tunes of this bill, but the."drys" are watching its course with great eager ness to determine the sentiment of the present congress. Propose Drastic Measures. ? Other planks in the "dry" platform which will be presented to congress, are set forth as follows: 1. Congress shall cut off impor tations of liquors for at least five years. 2. The further manufacture of whiskey shall be prohibited until the present stock is down to a very small Teserve basis. 3. The present stock of liquors shall be concentrated by giving the commissioner power to move liquors when such action will conduce the enforcement of the prohibition law. 4. The total prohibitive tax shall be assessed against offenders for each offense. 5. Only alcohol, not liquors or i wines, shall be allowed to be used as ! a base for "medicines." 6. Alcohol to be used for legiti i mate purposes, such as the manufac- ! ture of toilet commodities, shall be i denatured at the place of original manufacture. 7. The employees of the enforce ment organization shall be placed un der civil service. 8. If the prohibition enforcement department is transferred to the de partment of justice, careful distinc tion shall be made between those parts of the law which involve crimi nal investigations and prosecution and such sections as provide for the ^prohibitive tax, the power to estab lish chemical standards, etc., which features shall be left to the control; of the Commissioner of Internal Rev enue. 9. United States Commissioners shall:be given power to try misde-j meanor offenses against the prohibi tion law. If these laws fail to check the en- J ierprise of thirsty and resourceful I Americans, then the "drys" have a few more up their sleeves. They are in earnest about this prohibition bus-1 iness, even if thc thirsty are not. Powerful Wireless Plant on Pacific Coast. Portland, Ore., May 21-With the completion of the Federal Tele graph Company's new plant at Hills- j boro, Ore., in June, the second high- ' est powered wireless station on the Pacific coast will be put into opera tion, capable of transmitting across the Pacific ocean. This station wiH be used primarily for coastal business, handling com- j merdai messages in competition with the older wire companies. An interesting feature of the op-j ?eration of the new plant will be the -direct connection of land wires with the wireless sent, without a break in : the circuit. Messages will be sent by wire from the company's office in. Portland to the station at Hillsboro, 20 miles distant,-and the instruments there will be so arranged that they will automatically transfer the sig nals to the wireless. Messages for de livery in Portland will be received on the roof or the building housing the company's office, thereby making the presence of a telegraph operation at the station itself unnecessary. The station will be capable of han dling eight messages simultaneously, four coming and four going, accord ing to the company's officials. The company's pla" ""at San Diego, Cia., which was buih for the navy during the war, is the largest on the Pacific coast, being rated at 300 kilowatts. The Hillsboro station will be of 130 kilowatts, with a tower 625 feet in height. The aerial is of umbrella type and will cover 275 acres. MILLINERY. A large shipment of shapes arrived today. RUBENSTEIN. Ford Plants Initiate Gigantic Production Program. Detroit, May 21.-Within a few months the Ford Motor , Company will he industrially independent. This in short means attainment of a condition never he?ore realized in the history of the big-scale business. ' A gigantic program which pro vides for the manufacture in Ford owned plants of every part and pro duct used in the construction of Ford cars, trucks, tractors and gas-driven railway cars is rapidly being com pleted, officials of the plant declare, and is expected to be in full operation by August. To this end the production of leath er, celluloid, glass, clioth, steel, coal tar products, paint and other prod ucts, recently started is being expand ed on a large scale. As an indication of the develop ment along .this line officials of the company state that daily production of artificial leather has been increas ed to 22,000 yards, enough for tops and cushions of 5,000 cars. Production of celluloid, still in the experimental stage, is scheduled in large quantities by next'June. Fine quality steel is being made in large quantities at the Highland Park plant. More equipment and large- forces of men are being* added to the other departments, making the new pro ducts. The glass-making equipment is be ing installed at the new Rockwood, Mich., factory, as large quantities of s?lica used in its manufacture are at this point. Several chemists have been added to the force of men at work finding new uses for the by-products of the various Ford industries.

Do not allow the financial difficul ties to keep you from entering col lege this fall to prepare yourself for the opportunities that lie ahead. SCHOLARSHIPS AND' EXAMINA TIONS The college maintains one hun dred and seventy four-year scholar ships in the Agricultural and Tex tile Courses. Each scholarship means $400 to help pay expenses and $160 for tuition apportioned equally over the four years. Also fifty-two scholarships in the One-Year Agricultural Course, these scholarships are worth $100' and tui tion of $40. The scholarships must be won by competitive examinations which are held by each County Su perintendent of Education on July 8th. It is worth your while to try for one of these scholarships.

C.-Clemson ia a member of the senior division of the Reserve Officers Training Corps. All R. O. T. C. students receive financial assistance from the Federal Government, this reaching about $200 per year during the junior and senior classes. FOR FULL INFORMATION WRITE OR WIRE THE REGISTRAR, CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. C. APPLICATION WILL BE CONSIDERED IN THE ORDER RECEIVED Ambassador Harvey is Scored by Stevenson. Washington, May 21.-Ambassa dor Harvey^was made the object of a bitter personal attack in the House today because of his speech before the Pilgrim's Society in London Thursday night. Representative Stevenson, Demo crat, of South Carolina, said that he wanted the House "to know the kind of gentleman who is fixing our for sign policy." Mr. Stevenson said that "in view af the recent deliverance of our am bassador to England, which appears to be fixing, apparently, the foreign policy of this government," he de sired to call the attention of the House to a speech delivered by Col. Harvey before the St. Andrew's So ciety of Charleston, S. C., in 1906. He quoted Col. Harvey as having boasi':d that his ancestors had re fused :o fight the South during the civil war, and that at least one of his relatives had gone to jail rather than hire a substitute in the Union army. "That is the gentleman who today is fixing the foreign policy of this government to his ideas, a gentleman who comes to a South Carolina au dience and attempts to ingratiate him self," said Mr. Stevenson. "I take it for granted that this dis tinguished gentleman, when he ap proaches the seats of the mighty, when he comes into the presence of the crown of England, will make him self fraternally at heart with the Englishmen by saying that the people over in Vermont never popped a cap at the British in the days of Lexing ton and Bunker Hill, or that nobody could make them hire a substitute and tbat therefore they laid down or did nothing or sympathized with the British during that contest. That is the logical conclusion. 'He says we went into this war, not for preservation or humanity or the liberties of the world, but merely because we knew we had to fight and it was to save our hides. That is your gentleman ! "The president in one of his cam paign speeches said: 'I propose to give you an association of nations with teeth in it.' Has he delegated this gentleman to organize that as sociation? If so, he is developing in that direction, because it will be an association that will have at least a mouth in it, and a mouth is neces sary to put teeth in, because thot is' what he has always been-mouth, nothing more. "We'were to have all our foreign policies reversed. I guess the reversal processes will begin with this distin guished gentleman who boasts of the yellow condition of his ansectors dur-' ing the Civil war." R. F. Erwin Regarding His Troubles. "A year ago last winter I had an attack of indigestion followed by bil iousness and constipation. Seeing Chamberlain's Tablets so highly rec commended for stomach troubles I bought a bottle of them and they helped me right away" writes R. F. Erwin, Peru, Ind. If you have any trouble with your digestion give these' tablets a trial. They will do you good. We have two Ford cars for sale. One stripped runabout and one 1920 touring car with starter.
