While Miss Sutter will be well stocked with literature bearing on phohibition, sho will not carry with her tho "educational" pamphlet prepared by the bureau for school use. Publication of excerpts from that pamphlet ercated furore among high treasury offlelals, who quickly disavowed any intent of putting propaganda In schools. Prohibition Commissioner James M.

He said In any case the pamphlets would be used only at the of schools, Opinions Differ.

Candicling opinions on the propriety of touching prohibition in schools were expreased by senators interviewed, by the United Press today. Critics of tho plan drew a distinction betweon the touching qt temperance, which was general in public schools emphusts on prohibition statistics. One of tho defenders of tho plan was Senator Jones, Republican, Washington, author of the enforcement law. who declared it "very proper" to teach the Constitution. "Prohibition in a part conatiLution, which is the fundamental law the land," ha sald.

"We have come to A pretty pass," lie continued, "It the schools can't. Leach the Jaws of the country, especially the fundamental laws."

How are you going to tench prohibition to childron in the achoola when they suo the law broken at home?" Takes Similar Vlow. Another wet, Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mussuchusotta, took a similar view. "White I always favored the teaching of temperance and tho principles of temperanco I can conceive of very bad precodenta being catablished by teaching prohibition, which is a politleul and highly controversial, rather than Intrinsically morul, quostion," he said.

As the Pennsylvania had already by years rounded of consolidations developed a -out system and to nearly as great an extent the New York Central, it WaR necessary to add considerably to both the Baltimore and Ohio and Nickel Plate lines to bring them up to the proportions of the two premier the systems. This is the basis on Baltimore a and Ohio and the Nickel Plate have been acquiring properties to which there are objections from their competitors and It is from lines that had. been informally allocated to them that the Pennsylvahas been recently making additions to its already substantial mileage. The Baltimore and Ohio obviously being hurt more by elther the Pennsylvania's purchases than the Nickel Plate or the New York Central and has already lost valuable traffic which it received from both the Wabash and the Lehigh Valley before they were taken over by the Pennsylvania.

The Nickel Plate Interests are not letting any more business get away from their own lines than they can help, so there is less trading of traffic between them and their competitors than heretofore.

(Copyright, 1929, by, Consolidated Press Association.) CHICAGO, June completion of the Lakes-to-the-gulf waterway still is at least two years away, something of Its value already is being demonstrated here. It comes as of a dream to the recently financially embarrassed Chicago sanitary district--the body which has gained publicity Through Its policy of diverting water from the Great lakes use in disposing of this city's waste. Idle lands along this drainage canal, filled with lake' water, with the waterway Industrial in operation, are Estimates seen as now valuable place their value at as much as $20,000,000 and under a plan being considered by the sanitary district and the Chicago Association of Commerce, this property may be offered for sale. The gradual approach through water service between Chicago and New Orleans is resulting in a. genappraisal of the terminal needs in cities which heretofore have not had connection with the waterway.

Chicago already is well prepared in that regard and the discovery that an tire new industrial section may be built along the waterway channel, with possibilities for eASy terminal connections, has aroused new interest in the project. President Hoover 18 understood to feel that the water highway between be Chicago opened and the sometime Gulf in of 1931. All that Mexico atanda in the way of the opening Is a small stretch of channel between Utica and Lockport, which must be dredged to a 9-foot depth. Most lock facilities have been completed by the state of Illinois at A of $20,000,000. About $5,000,000 worth of work remains a to be done and Secretary of War Good has let it be known that the federal government may bear about $3,000,000 of this expense.

Once that section of the route 18 completed the whole project can be opened. The supreme court decision permitting diversion of only enough lake water to make the Illinois river navigate, may mean a real obstacle to maintenance of the 9-foot channel, but engineers may solve this difficulty. In addition the 3-foot rise in lake levels from the low point of 1926, has caused a lessening of agitation against the practice of diversion. Chicago and mid-west Industries are looking for the benefits of cheaper transportation rates that will come with the water outlet. The secretary of war has pointed out that before the war the cheapest ton rate from New it now reduction of $2.24.

York to Sane Francisco was $19.04 and On the other hand the cheapest rate from Chicago to San Francisco WAS $26.10 before the war and it now 18 increase of $3.36. Much of this discrepancy could be removed by water carriage to the sca and it is this object for which mid-west Industrica are striving.

Gearhart of Reading barracks, today came into the case of William Norman Helm, Trappe, in an attempt to Und flaws in the so-called "perfect crime." District Attorney Frank X.

Renninger of Montgomery county acted at the request of the Ambler, councilmanic commissionera and other citizens, when he called the state police in to investigate the case in which Heim was found last Friday in his wrecked and burned automobile on a lonely road. The car was burned' and possible clues to the alleged murder were all but lacking, local police said, although they had worked out a motive that Heim wAR in financial difficulties, and, for that reason was killed. Police said they believed Helm had been shot, his CELl' taken to the lonely road and pushed over the hill into a ravine, the car fired after the body had been placed in the front seat to mako it appear am if he had driven off the roud. Today police found what they belleved might be A blood stained coat In tho home of an Ambler, garagaman, and took it to the coroner's office to determine it it was blood. Two bullets belleved to have been Ared at Helm were found by detectives near the bill where his body WAS state police a and detectives hoped to found.

With these new clues today, have a definite case of circumstantial evidence on which to make arrests. OWNS ANCIENT BOOK. Robert Heller Has Copy of Firat Stary About Last Brothers, Robert 8. Holler of 1016 Lexington avenue is one of a very few people yet living who remembers that April day, 1856, when the two Cox children, aged 5 and 6 years, wandered away from their parents' mountain home, near Pavla, only to be returned dead sixicen days later, after thousande of sympathetic people assisted in a search, and whose finding la attributed to a dream.

CHANGE NOTED IN PRINTED CLOTHS By FRANCIS PAGET.

(Copyright; 1929, by Style Sources.) NEW YORK, June change has come over the printed dress as coun-presented'at the more excluafve estate lishments. longer is black the accepted background on which to splash color. Colored grounds are taking precedence, The black background 'has suddenly become banal, the urge for color, which tinges the entire, fashion world, quite naturally developing in backgrounds. While this has not become a mass preference it Is none the less important for that. Thus, new prints for exclusive fashions take on a fresh appeal not only by the use of the distinctive plaid, check and stripe motifs previously commented in these columna, but by such vivid ground colors as cine, royal blue and grayed purple, henna and dark reddish browns, in addition to greens and wine reds.

It Is intercating to note that there are comparatively few beige grounds in evidence, but pale yollow beige is invariably used in the motifs in place of white. Eccentric capucine, oddly enough, has proved one of the most effective shades to use in printed tifs, showing up well on nearly all the colored grounds mentioned when it is contrasted properly with other colors. Printa which chartreuse occurs are fresh in effect and still new enough to deserve mention. Brown in varlous tones also hag become of more than passing interest, the development of brown being reported from foreign as well our own resorts. Brown is used more, often with white than with beige, there being a noticeable decrease in the amount of beige worn this spring.

Yellows appear to have replaced it. RECORDS UNCHANGED, WHEELING, W. June E.
