for the deportation o" all aliens

further provides that ships, automo-'

may ho seized when found carrying
the prohibited drugs. The law, if
it becomes operative, is going to do
much to decrease the unlawful selling
of narcotics. There is little doubt of
the fact that a very grout per cent
of the crimes that afflict this country
and all the countries of the earth are;
to be laid at the door of the drug1

Withdr.iwal of Whiskey
From Bonded Warehouses
Louisville, Ky.. May 11.?Withdrawals
of whisky from bonded warehouses
for this year, on the basis of
'lie last three or four months, will
amount to about 12,000,000 gallons,
'whieh is perhaps only about onehalf
million gallons in excess of normal
medicinal requirements," II. A.
llaynes, federal prohibition commissioner,
told the Churchmen's Federation
here today. Mr. llaynes compared
.his figure with 130,000,000 gallons of
American made whisky which he said
were consumed in the United States
annually during the years immediately
preceding prohibition, and with about
twelve and a half million gallons
withdrawn from bonded warehouses
on permits in 1920 and about three
and a half millions in 1921.
"It is significant," Mr. llaynes continued
"that at a time when liquor is
inv/i v uiiutuit iu 111jl<1111 iiiciii iii any
other time in our history; when
drunkenness has decreased to a very
Appreciable decree; when convictions
for the violation of law are becoming
most numerous; that at such times
the largest amount of space is given
id some of our newspapers to articles
most flimsy of facts, which set forth
tl.e idea that 'prohibition is a failure.'
1 am inclined to believe that this propaganda
has its origin in the interest
of large personal gains on the part of
a comparative few, who have felt most
forcefully the effects of the law. As
long as enforcement ofiicers could be
easily bribed; as 1< ng as the traffic
went on unimpeded either by taxes,
fines or jail sentences, as long as only
the small offenders were brought to
justice, there was little cause for the
insidious propaganda.
"Mothing can affi at the American
I ople more than the statement that
we eannot enforce < ur laws. In this
statement lie the d'nth warrant of
th republic, for hi- nation cannot en
I
dure without rcvi'i'i' ice for law, with-1
(ii1 the recognized authoiity of lav/. I
The j> rpotrators of this row treason
have overlooked one of the great essentials
of the American people; that
law is hut an expression of the nation's
will, and the will power of
Xmcrica has ever met apparently insuperable
diMieult ie.s and changed
them into world amazing achievements.
" This law was ratified by 10 states,
the largest n imher of state th.at had
ever ratif'Kal a constitutional amendment.
'Th- real issue that underlies all
the contest over prohibition enforcement.
is Americanism in conflict with
? Id world customs and concepts; it is
flpiYlfifrnf'V ntftiinuf oi/o??i/.o
ne*ss and anarchy. It is cno mere expression
of pride to say that when
America wills to <! > that which other
nations have not done, she will not
fail of that achievement.
"This is an hour when the harden of
the war rests heavily upon people
through the imposition of taxes, and
the astute propagandist has pointed to
the fact that prohibition will cost the
government nearly $10,000 000 this
coming year. However, if we were
to collect the fines, penalties and special
tax imposed upon violators of the
law in the first six months of this administration,
they would more than
pay two and one-half times the esti- '
mated cost of enforcing the prohihi- 1
tion law for the next year. Those
enormous figures do no! include nearly
$.'1,000,000 in honds that are being forfeited
to the government, or $2,000,000
that have hen offered in compromise*
by 21 of of the* largest violators
of the* law, anel elo not inedudc $0,000,000
in differential or prohibitive tax."
Geo. Harris Addresses
Mechanical Engineer*
Atlanta, Ga., May 11.? Management
must make greater efforts to
.!o its share i:i maintaining the threelegged
tal>!o that supports industry,
George II. Harris, President of the
Exposition t'otton Mills of Atlanta,
declared at the National Spring meeting
of the American Society of Mechanical
Knginecrs here today.
The South, Mr. Harris declaimed,
was forging to the front in the cotton
industiy because of advantages
of labor, accessibility of raw material
and absence of discontent which handicaps
what he called "the union-ridden
mills of New England."
"Our recent ryad has been a hard
one," Mi*. Harris said, in discussing
"Management Applied to Textile
Plants," "and now the capital is
here, the labor is here, but world
competition is also here, and it is going
to take brains and active brains
in the heads of management to direct
capital and labor so as to place American
industry in the front ranks
and hold it there.
"An industrial plant is not a military
establishment and cannot be
handled as such. The main object in
any army, it seems to me, is 'to pass
the buck' while in industry every
man in authority should be prompt
to stand firmly on his own responsibility
and never attempt to shift his
burden to others."
In contrast to the New England
mill where, be said, the labor is be
ing replaced each year "at a steadily
increasing percentage" with untrained
immigrants, Mr. Harris described
the typical Georgia mills thus:
"In a Georgia mill is a class of labor,
all American, recruited from the
farming class. The manager has
grown up with them and knows them
in their homes. In many eases the
mill, being a comparatively young institution,
was built from a small unit
by the present owners. I know of instances
in Georgia, during the recent
depression, where values depreciated
so fast that it was impossible
for a mill to continue operating without
tremendous losses, but the employes
quickly sensed the situation
and voluntarily submitted to reductions
in their pay in order that the
mill might continue to operate.
"Do you hear of any such actions
in the union-ridden mills in New Fngland
? I have not. The result is that
while the Georgia mill is in a position
to sell its product today in line
with the depreciated value of raw
products, the New England mil has
its manufacturing cost held up tictit
iously and is forced to take heavy
losses in current values or shut down.
"The Southern worker is often ignorant,
even illiterate, prejudiced nr.d
proud; but he is of a mechanical turn
of mind, has common sense and is
generous to a fault. lie is not easily
taught, but when once trained, 'develops
skill and ability, which added
to his native stability, enables him to
outclass in many cases the workers
of other sections of the country.
Manufacturers of the South have
never- understood that pride in artisanship
is one of the prime moving
forces in the Southern worker.
"Unlike the immigrant worker of
the North, who misinterprets the
symbolism of the Statue of Liberty,
the Southern worker respects authority,
for in his home he has lived n
a patriarchy, in which the whole family
follows the laws laid down by the
father.
"On the other hand, he has less intelligence
and is not so energetic as
the worker of the Middle West, where
French and German elements predominate.
The Southerner, however,
has more 'stickibility.'
"The problem of securing uniform
results from all factories, whatever
the location, can be solved through
planning, scheduling, disciplining,
and esueciallv. the nroner knid of
training.
"The South needs train'ng schools
to teach all arts. Having been raised
tin ugh generations to do things in
a crude manner, no artisanship has
been tan "ht the mass. The South
needs leaders in the management of
every industry. Specific and scientific
methods of training and carrying
on operations must be developed.
The worker cannot train himself?
he needs help?he needs instruction,
and he must have it. General education
must be made available for the
majority, so that the South may take
its just place in the industrial world."
More than 5,000 miles of nets are
set nightly during the herring season
in the Knglish channel.
More than 000 warships have been
scrapped by the various nations since
the close of the world war.

Hot Weather
Footwear
Cantilever Shoes are comfortable
in all weathers; they are the shoes
for warm days when the feet burn
and perspire. Every Summer more
people try Cantilevers for hot weather,
and find them the shoes for comfort
the year round.
Cantilever Shoes are so well proportioned
that there is never any
pressure at any point. No binding
of the muscles by rigid metal -supports;
no cramping of the toes to
turn them outward. In Cantilever
Shoes the natural inner sole line follows
the contour of the fool. There
is ample toe room, and the toes point
straight ahead in their rightful position.
The heel distributes the weight
with proper balance so that the tendons
of the foot are not strained.
The shank of Cantilever Shoes is flexible;
it allows the muscles of the
arch to exercise and grow strong.
If your feet are swollen and sore
fi-om the restraint and discomfort of
ordinary shoes, let us fit you with
a pair of Cantilevers. They will make
you feel as fit as a plunge in the
ocean.
