LONDON. Although defeated in the house ot commons by 33 votes on an amendment to its educa tional bill, the government of Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald remained in office today, considering the issue at stake in the amendment of jnlnor character. The vote was 283 to 249. The refusal to resign led Winston Churchhlll, conservative, to comment that Mr. MacDonald was "the greatest living master of the art of falling without hurting himself." Pass Amended Bill.

The government accepted the amendment, which was forced by one of its own members, John Scurr, a Roman Catholic, and later passed the amended bill on its third and final reading by a vote of 258 to 238. Most of the liberals abstained in the second vote. The bill provides for raising the age at which children may leave school from 14 to 15 years, with an allowance of five shillings to be msde to needy parents whom the law sffects. The Scurr amendment authorized a government appropriation to equalize the additional burden that the law would Impose on the religious, or non-provided schools. In passing the measure over the government's protest, 34 Laborites deserted to the opposition.

Lords May Refuse It. The bill now goes to the house cf lords which may, taking courage from the closeness of the commons vote, refuse it altogether. In any event it cannot become operative until Sept. 1932. It was the second defeat the MacDonald ministry has sustained in the house of commons, a previous adverse vote having been recorded last March on a minor amendment to the coal mines bill.

There have been three defeats In the house of lords. The first MacDonald ministry In 1924 suffered several defeats on minor matters before resigning after a vote on a major question. The government faced another hurdle In its trade disputes bill, up for second reading today. Observers believed the government would win by a small margin.

WINDSOR, Ont. (By the Canadian Press) The report presented to congress by the Jaw enforcement commission stressing the claim that the Canadian anti-export law has failed to reduce the flow ot liquor to United States la to have an echo at the next session ot the house of commons. Colonel Sidney C. Robinson, M. for Essex west and sponsor of a motion now oa the order paper at Ottawa, calling for abandonment of the export ban and a return to legalised exporting, said today he would comment "In emphatic words" on the Wickersham commission's admission.

Raymond D. Morand, M. for Essex east, said he would support Colonel Robinson's Stand. Colonel Robinsn recalled that when United States officials paved the way for negotiations with Canada, which resulted In the MacKenzte King government Introducing legislation which ended legal export of liquor, the claim was made thr.t this step would aid greatly In enforcing prohibition across the line. Good Will Not Appreciated "Canada's gesture of neighborly good will," the colonel declared "has brought nothing but slaps In fie face ever since." He referred to the current commuting difficulty, through which a considerable number of border folk working in Detroit have been cut off from their jobs.

Colonel Robinson has been compiling a great amount of information on the antl-commuting drive, and Intimated he will lay it before parliament when he argues that the "good will" move by Canada has not been returned. Sines legal exporting has Rtopped, he declared, Canada has lost in revenue, He quoted an Ottawa dispatch as his authority for the figures. V. 8. Raised Tariff "While Canada was giving up this Vast sum, the equivalent of three quarters of the fund voted by the emergency session of parliament for unemployment relief throughout the dominion, the United Btates shot its tariff against Canadian goods sky high, and launched a campaign oust Cana dians from Jobs In the United States," Colonel Robinson remarked.

Dr. Morand said that In view of the Wickersham report it would seem futile on the part of Canada to continue to prohibit the exportation of liquor. "If on the other hand," he added, ''the report is a precursor to a demand for further restrictive legislation by Canada, it should be met by a demand for a re-arranging of existing conditions which are now irritating Canada." Canadian Tress Comment Canadian newspaper comment upon the Wickersham report was as follows: Toronto Mall and Empire: This report upon which the Wickersham commission has spent so much time end care should at least be a warning to prohibitionists in Canada. We believe that governmental control now lr. vogue in the different provinces is the best way of dealing with the liquor evil.

Ottawa Journal: The commission hasn't got anywhere, hasn't said anything that tens of thousands haven't said before, hasn't revealed anything that everybody didn't know before. So Volsteadlsm and all that goes with it, will go on for the present. There will be speakeasies, and bootleggers, shoot ings and briberies and wood-alcohol poisonings and deaths. Montreal Star: About the only thing the commission agreed upon is that prohibition is not now being enforced. They appear to be unanimous In finding that the conditions of enforcement ot the prohibition laws as a whole, are unsatisfactory.

Of some interest to Canadians is the conclusion that the king government's legislation placing an embargo upon liquor destined for the United Stales has been a failure. Canada has sacrificed considerable revenue by reason of this futile gesture, and at time when the national Income from other sources is declining. One Sargent Flays Business Tinkering that banks are full of money and interest rates at the lowest level, "Recuperation will not take on" Its full momentum, however, unless tht government gets out of private business, unless It ceases to interfere with private Interprise, and unless It stops subsidizing one private enterprise so that it can compete effectively but unfairly with another," Score Artificial Prlres Criticising artificial prlres set by the government, Sargent declared that if It were in his power he would require every candidate for congress to take a course in economics. LIQUOR EXPOR I Think Hoover Will Amplify Dry Views native and take his place tmoof those mho favor "revlslrn." Alternate Comment Mr. Hoover could have transmitted the report with a general comment as to the many provisions that appeared to require immediate fiction and a further comment to tho effect that there was plenty of time to consider what should be done in the way of revising tha Eighteenth amendment after a further trial of the Improvements on nforoement laws had been manV This would have given an opportunity for him to make a study of public sentiment after the Wickersham report has gotten a far better examination from the country as a whole.

As it is. the president's fist statement that he saw serious objections to the main prooosala to the commlvlon is already being miscon strued as a nullification on his part of the whole Job of the commission. As a matter of fact, the president, being charped with law enforcement, was undoubtedly disinclined to accept at this time even the remote suggestion of a revision of the Eighteenth amendment because of the fear that having sworn to uphold the constitution he would be In the anomslous situation of publicly disbelieving in one of Its cardinal articles. Not Ills Function It Is not the function of the chief executive to propose amendments to (he constitution though many president have done it. feeling that i-rcposols to amend the constitution were Just as important to recommend to congress as legislation, rn the actual process, however, of making a change in the constitution the president of the United States plave no part.

An amendment to the constitution when proposed in a resolution nsssed bv a two-thirds vote of both houses of congress goes Immediately to the several states for ratification or retection and does not have the opportunity of getting a presidential signature or veto as if the case were a piece of legislation. Whatever Mr. Hoover's reasons were for separating himself completely from the main recommendation of the Wickersham report snd however Justified was his loie. the political consequences of his act will not be as easllv clarified. The northern wing cf the democratic party Is wet and will lean toward revision or repeal.

The southern democrats will probably force a compromise and accept the Idea of revision, thus making the democratic iarty stand four square for a rhsnge In an existing situation. The eastern wing of the republican partvis rapid!" beomlng wet, with signs that In the middle west wet sentiment is growing in political power.

About 32. That Northeastern Wisconsin, par ticularly Brown. Outagamie. Calumet, and parts of Kewaunee, Manitowoc, and Sheboygan counties, fare a se rious drouth menace, is the declaration made by Dr. Rufus Mather Bagg, of the geology department of Lawrence college, following an investigation of existing conditions.

There has been a constantly growing deficiency in precipitation during the past four years in this section, Dr. Bagg states, although it lies in the center of two major storm belts and should have an average yearly rainfall of 32 Inches. Last year less than 18 Inches of rain fell. It is the first timo In fifty years that the situation has gained such serious proportions, the geologist continues. The first deficiency In rainfall was noticed in 1927 when only 26.3 inches fell.

In 1928 there was a deficiency of 2.5 Inches, and in 1929 only 28 inches of rain were recorded. "Farmers in this area have Just cause for becoming alarmed because of recent drouth and lack of precipitation," Dr. Bagg declares. "Surface wells and streams have dried up and farmers are forced to drill deeper wells for watering their cattle. Well drilling concerns are swamped with orders, having as many as fifty applications ahead for work from farmers.

"Wisconsin lies between two major storm belts wbich Insures the state a fairly uniform rainfall of 32 inches over the entire region. One belt sweeps down from the northwest, crossing the lower end of Lake Superior and then travels off over the St. Lawrence river. The other begins in the southwest, sweeps over Chicago, across Lake Michigan, and then out over the great lakes toward the Atlantic ocean. During the past few years, especially the last two, there have been few storms In both these two belts, thereby bringing about the deficiency." BUILDING AND LOAN REELECTS DIRECTORS Green Bay Association Has Assets of $365,859.

Directors of the Green Bay Building and Loan association were re elected at the annual stockholders' meeting at the courthouse last evening, and officers will be elected by the board at an organization meeting Jan. 28. Directors re-elected are S. D. Hastings, A.

W. Icks, Homer Maes, Vincent E. Hendrie, E. W. Lawton.

Joseph M. Conway. John 8. Farrell and Donald O. Daube.

Reports read indicate that assets of the association Increased nearly $100,000 during 1930, the exact figures showing assets of $365,859,79 at the close of business, 1930, as compared to those of $271,928.56 at the close of business in 1929. Further reports indicated that the assets in 1930 were more than 20 times greater than those in 1927, when the report showed total assets of only $17,279.54. Concluded From Page One New, Straight Channel Asked by MacElwee channel beyond Tall point, the meeting was unanlmrls that a straight channel should be constructed of five hundred feet In width and twenty-five feet in depth. Needed for Winter "It was brought out in the discussion that much saving in maintenance would follow the constmction of a straight channel; that navigation of such channel would not be Impeded by darkness, fog, and so forth, as Is now the case with the winding channel, vessels now remaining outside until davlight, rather than attempt the crooked channel at night or in the fog; that to handle the traffic now uMng or in the future to use the harbor, a channel of flva hundred feet in width is Important, particularly so if winter navigation is to be attempted; nnd that a con-sldrable saving each year could be made In lighting a straight channel as compared with the expense of lighting a curved channel, such as tho present one. "As to the bar below north of Main-st, bridge opposite the elevator point, It was unanimously determined that some dredging should be done to widen at that point, and make It possible for vessels to make a proper turn to pass either the bridge or the Kewaunee, Green Bay and Western railroad company bridge, and for two vessels to pass without danger of collision.

"Soundings show that at that point there is now a channel of only 180 fret from tho west bank to the edge of the bar or obstruction, upon which this past year government engineers Placed a blark snar buoy, there be. Ing but five or six feet of water over this obstruction at that point. Shoals Are Forming "Considerable discussion was devoted to the present difficulties of the channel at. nnd above and below, the Chicago and Northwestern Railway compnny bridge, Manitowoc lne, across Fon river. "As pointed out at a former hearing, Just north of the bridge In question shoals have formed snd are rmlng both upon the east snd west bnnks, narrowlnir the channel at that point and ninklnr? it difficult for ves sels to straighten tip to pass through the brldRe It was brought, out that, the draw of the bridge Is murh too far to the eastward, necessitating a tle cold snap is still hanRtng around, and the forecast issued this morning has little ot encouratse-ment for those Who would like to see warmer weat her.

Last night was not as cold as the night before, as the coldest recorded was six above, but there was no warmer temperature all day yesterday than nine above, which made the day one of the coldest of the piesent winter season. Green Bay and Wausau were the coldest spois in Wisconsin yesterday, although several Minnesota cities were able to report weather nearer the rero mark. There was a trace of precipitation in the city yesterday, but not enough to receive more than passing mention, Fair weather has prevailed generally over the entire country during the past 24 hours, except for light snow in the lake region, and moderate to heavy rains along the Pacific coast. It was much colder this morning in the northeastern states, with sub-sero temperatures reported from the St. Lawrence valley, but It is much warmer in the upper lakes and upper Mississippi valley.

HOLD QUINN RITES AT LUBBOCK FRIDAY Former Green Bay Man to Be Buried In Indiana. Funeral services for L. Herbert Qulnn, 32, publisher of the Avalanche-Journal, Lubbock, Texas, and from 1922 to 1927 a member of the Press-Gazette advertising staff, who died of exposure when he left the auto of a friend to seek help after it hsd broken down, will be held at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon at Lubbock. Burial will be at Terre Haute, where relatives live. Quinn's fiance.

Miss Frances Bagot, and her brother, Walter, who flew to Lubbock from Anderson, to attend the funeral, arrived there this morning. They will accompany the body to Terre Haute. The former Green Bay man did not suffer a heart attack, physicians have ascertained, according to word received here today from Lubbock. At first it was thought that he had been stricken while seeking aid for the stranded autolsts. However, an examination of his body showed that he died of exposure.

It is believed he became lest and unable to find his wsy back to the automobile, which was stuck in a sand bank, perished of the cold as he was only lightly clad. AMJBtXANCE CALLS Miss Martha Hlckey was taken to her home 119 N. from St. Vlncent'a hospital In the Mohr ambluance yesterday. She is conval escing from an operation.

Mrs. Edward Cody, 1337 Chcrry-st who injured her leg some time ago In a fall, was taken from St. Vincent's hospital to her home in the Mohr ambulance yesterday. sharp turn at that point, and it was the unanimous opinion that if and when possible the draw should be moved farther to the westward. In the meantime it was brought out that the channel should be widened nnd the points of the bars referred to cut off, so as to enable vessels to swing Into the draw without striking either bank, particularly the east bank.

Need Help of Tug "Tt was also discussed and decided that additional dredging is required south of the Chicago snd Northwestern bridge to enable vessels to swing and turn about while dorklng or leav Ing dork at Cleveland-Cliffs Iron company's dock and Fort Howard Pa per company's dock. "Vessels at this point have had con siderable trouble In swinging after "passing through the bridge, so as to enter the slip at the Cleveland Coal company's dock, and more trouble in backing out of that slip and swinging up river far enough to enable them to pass through the present draw of tho railroad bridge. All such ves sels are compelled to receive the as sistance of a harbor tug, but even so, several vessels have had difficulty and have caused damage to the bridge at that point. "The same difficulty applies to ves sels going to the dock of the Fort Howard Paper company. They are compelled to turn about, always must have the assistance of a harbor tug, and difficulty has been found in get ting these vessels turned around at that point.

"It Is sought by the foregoing to briefly the Improvements bcilcv ed to be necessary for the proper use of the Green Bay harbor, including Fox river. Maintain Channel in Do Fere "Beyond the railroad bridge last re ferred to there is sn 18-foot channel up Fox river to De Pere, with a turn Ing basin at that point enabling ves sels to turn about when leaving the docks at De Pere. This channrl for the present seems adequate, though It. was the concensus of the meeting referred to that the channel should be malntalnrd nnd not permitted to fill tip." The Joint recommendation, as well as Dr. MarElwee's report citing arguments, facts, and figures to' support his recommendation of a straight channel, are submitted for consideration by the district office at Milwaukee before MnJ.

Funeral services for Ward E. Blark, sales manager of the Hoberg Taper and Fiber company, who died Monday of pneumonia, were held yesterday afternoon at the Union Congregational church. Because of the hundreds of floral pieces and the many friends who came from out of the city to attend the services, the last rites were transferred from the house to the church. Dr. Leonard A.

Parr conducted the services. He read from the scriptures, "Bless the Lord My "Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled" and "In My Father's House are Many Manstons." Thrse were followed by a prayer. Comfort In Gospel "In the face of death." said Dr. Parr, "lips are mute. Minds grope for an expression, an explanation to that which has said 'no to our plans of life, our loves and our desires.

Death breaks life. It is finite. It Is the end. But, friends, this Is a bitter state indeed, and one that comes not from the experiences of humankind or the treasury of Christian thought and experiences. From the gospel come the words of comfort that I have just read.

They are the negative of death and offset by affirmations the cruelty of It. We have the affirmation of life. Life is not cf the stuff dreams are made of. It is more indcstructable and finite. There Is an element Intangible and invincible that nothing can destroy.

"We have, too the affirmation of love; that invisible bond that binds man to woman, parents to children. This thing we call love which is a chance for us in our dark hour. It challenges the veto of death. "We have the affirmation of human character. A man who has lived his life in circles of human activity and put there the fineness of his manhood does not have that impression wiped out with his passing.

The good man hath done never passes; the chararter he has built and the good name he has acquired outlast years and time and change. We can destroy the vase but fragrance lingers on. And crowning all is the great animation of the gospel. "I am the Resurrection and the life; He who believeth in me shall have life everlasting." Many From Out of Town Pallbearers were Henry G.
