Says Alcohol
Deaths and Seiz
ures Mounting
Association Against Prohibition
Amendment Asserts Fig
ures Accurate
Washington, D. C. Aug. 11. A
picture of the entire prohibition per
iod, depiciting mounting liquor seiz
ures and increases in drunkenness,
alcoholic insanity and deaths from
alcoholism, is drawn in a pamphlet
made public today by the Association
Against the Prlhibition Amendment.
The association contends that its
charts and tables of "indexes of in
temperance accepter by both wet and
dry partisans as valid"' show a "mar
ked drop during the war years which
continued during the first year of
prohibition." This drop, it adds, was
followed by a "sharp rise from 1921
to 1924," and a rise sinc?'-is' de4
scribed as "not so marked, but there
is as yet no indication of a decline."
The illicit liquor industry has
Kteadily increased, the pamhplet de
clares, "in spite of increased appro
priations for enforcement, in spite
of enforcement acts in 44 states, and
in spite of the growing body of fed
eral court decisions favorable to ex
treme enforcement measures."
Cites More Seizures.
"In 1920. only 15,416 pieces of
distilling apparatus were seized,"
it continues, "while in 1928. 261,611
pieces were seized. In 1920, only
153.735 gallons of liquor of all kinds
" were seized; in 192S, 32,474,234
gallons were . seized."
The first year of activity of the
United States coast guard in prohi
bition enforcement, 1924, saw the
peak in illicit psirits seized, it is
pointed out, with an increase of more
. than 300 per cent over seizures for
tho previous year.
Records cited show seizures of
materials from which whisky and
alcohol are distilled made a "steady
increase," -26,594.533 gallons of
mash being taken in 192S, com
pired with S.3.r6,695 gallons in
lit 23. Malt liquor seizures reached
their top in 1926.
A pamphlet chart, it is contended,
"will show that the death rate, from
alcoholism among the industrial
population parallels the alcoholic
death rate for the entire country."
Avers Kate Increasing.
"Since 1920 the rate has steadily
increased," the association declares,
"and reached its peak of 3.7 in 1926.
For 1920 they present the rate as
.6. While a-slight decline is shown
for 1927 and 1928, the rate for the
first three months of 1929 is given
' as 3.8, as contrasted with 3.2 for
the first three months of 1928."

SHOWER OF METEORS DUE
Cambridge Between midnight
and dawn Monday the earth will
whirl into the midst of a shower of
"the ears of St. Lawrence," the
brightest meteoric display of the
year. Dr. Willard J. Fisher of the
Harvard university observatory said
here Sunday. This shower, consist
ing presumably of the debris of
comets and radiating from the con
tellation Perseus, will be visible
about? two months. It has been an
annual visitant since ancient times.
Millions of fragments will fly into
the earth's atmosphere at a greater
speed than the earth travels, blaze
a brief trail across the visible heav
ens and then disintegrate into dust
and ashes. Very rarely do meteors
reach the surface of the earth, Dr.
Fisher said, altho the larger lumps
could do great damage. The only au
thenticated case of a person being
struck by a meteor, was that of a
Franciscan monk killed in Milan on
Sept. 4. 1511. he said. There have
been torae narrow escapes, and last
fall a dispatch told of two men kill
ed by a meteor at Knath. India.

Weather Man
is the Fliers
Handy Friend
Central Station at Fort Crook Im
portant to Whole West; Pre
pare Advice for Radio.
In a little square building in an
out-of-the-way corner fo the Fort
Crook airfield the handiest friend
fliers have between Chicago and
Cheyenne sits over odd instruments
and saves lives.
He is V. E. Jakl, chief of the air
weather service and his calculations
are a big favor in making flying safe
Omaha has been named one of the
four control points on the transcon
tinental air line weather belt. This
belt extends 200 miles north and an
equal distance south of the actual
line of travel. Coming into the sta
tion here on a ticker machine and
by telegraph are reports from hun
dreds of stations between Chicago and
Cheyenne, the territory ruled from
Omaha.
From north, south, east and west
come reports of storms or clear
weather. Every three hours these re
ports are tabulated and weather bul
letins issued to the fliers at the field
Will Have Radios.
As yet few planes running out of
Omaha are equipped with radio. In
a month or two all will, it is expect
ed, carry receiving sets. Then htere
will be regular radioed reports from
the Fort Crook station.
These reports will be sent from
Department of Commerce station at
Chicago, Iowa City, Omaha, North
Platte and Cheyenne in this sector.
' They will tell of wind velocity, ap
proaching storms, fog, visibility and
the ceiling.
At the local station wind observa
tions are made four times every 24
hours by means of balloons. This
week Mr. Jakl plans to start taking
ground observations every hour. As
air travel increases this system will
e inaugurated at points from which
reports are received.
Fog Is Problem.
There are many factors in weather
observing for air travel yet to be
worked out, says Mr. Jakl. A sys
tem for "blind flying" in dense fog
has been evolved but a chief point
to be worked out from that angle is
a system to allow planes to land in
fog, he said.
When the muny airport is in con
dition to receive mail and passenger
planes, the weather control station
will be moved there.
Another improvement on the Oma
ha route soon to be made is the in
stallation of radio beacons for send
ing signals in a set area of width,
to guide the pilot who must battle
fog.
The Omaha bureau will play a
big part in locating these fog areas,
REDUCING POSTAL DEFICIT
Washington Postmaster General
Brown believes the reorganization of
the postoffice department 'with a
view to reducing the postal deficit
is progressing "slowly but satisfac
torily." Among the matters already
receiving serious consideration, he
said Sunday, is the cost accounting
system, which has come under con
demnation of Assistant Postmaster
General Tilton in charge of fiscal
policy of the department. Mr. Tilton
is dissatisfied with the basic features
of the system, and Indications that
sweeping changes may be made have
been given.
In the meantime the overhead of
the department itself is being gradu
ally lowered thru changes in person
nel and shifts of certain responsibil
ities to offices which heretofore have
not been accused of being overload
ed. General accounting offices in var
ious states have been or will be uni
fied with a view to being consoli
dated.
The postmaster general is Dotitive
that there will be considerable sav
ing when air mall contracts are re
vised and scaled down in the fall.
He believes that probably the larg
est sinble saving of the year will be
effected then, and ha3 held several
conferences with. a!r nil contractors
leaking to the sTiral revision
downward of the rates.
World's Tiniest
Car to be Sold
in Own Garage
60-Inch Coupe for Two Does 50
Miles on Gallon of 'Gas and
Sells for $200
New York A diminutive auto
mobile that will sell for not more
than $200, and which can be mar
keted through mail order shops, has
just had a successful demonstration
here. It is the invention of James
V. Martin of the Martin airplane fac
tory in Garden City, L. I., N. Y., who
holds that it is the smallest motor
car for practical purposes ever made.
Mr. Martin has perfected three
models which are unique in many
ways. None of them has a chasls,
frame or axle. Instead, each wheel is
independently attached to a rein
forced body, and the floor of the body
is the bottom of the car.
There are no springs, but to pre
vent shock or discomfort of any kind
to the driver or passenger, the wheels
are set in what is called aviator cord
made of rubber under high tension
similar to the way airplane wheels
are suspended. This makes for each
wheel being able to absorb the shock
of rough spots in the road indepen
dently of the others. Universal joints
in the wheel hubs enable the driver
to keep the car under perfect con
trol through the application of motor
power and steering mechanism.
Proves Practical
Engineers who witnessed the dem
onstration said that, despite its size,
Mr. Martin has made an automobile
that is a real, practical motorcar. It
has a body, a 4-cylinder, air-cooled
motor, four wheels and. during the
demonstration, proved it is capable
of traveling at the rate of 50 miles
an hour or more over roads that are
not first class, and with perfect com
fort to the persons riding in it. It
is built Tor two persons.
Mr. Martin observed the utmost
economy of space and parts in build
ing it. it was said. The coupe has a
60-inch wheel base, as compared with
the lOSVfc-inch wheels baso of the
Ford Model A, the smallest American-made
automobile, and the 75
inch wheel base of the Austin Seven,
the small British car that is soon
to be introduced into the United
States through an American manu
facturing company, now being form
ed. Mr. Martin's automobile weighs
600 pounds and possesses what tho
automobile salesman calls the "usual
refinements." It f&s an electric
starter, speedometer, ammeter, etc..
and will be chipped in a weather
proof crate designed so that the pur
chaser of the car can set the crate up
in his yard and use it for a garage.
Needs : No Servicing
Among the advantages which Mr.
Martin holds his car . possesses, one
that will apepal strongly to the pur
chaser that it needs no "servicing."
The few parts that require lubrica
tion may, he declared, be lubricated
for the life of the car before it is
shipped from the factory to the user.
The aviator cord by which each
wheel is suspended is "good" for 25,
000 miles, he declared, and its engine
will require no more attention than
any experienced motorist is capable
of giving it. When the aviator cord
is worn out, anyone can replace it at
a cost of about 80 cents, he added.
Another of the advantages which
Mr. Martin asserts his car has is
that it will "do" 50 miles on a gallon
of gasoline.
Mr. Martin is now negotiating with
Wall street bankers to finance a
company to manufacture his car and
with a large mail order house to
market it.
GERMAN CONSTITUTION DAY
Berlin President Paul von Hind
enberg, who seldom appears in public
now because of his advanced years,
with nearly all of the members of
the diplomatic corps and many high
government officials Sunday attend
ed impressive ceremonies at noon in
the plenary hall of the reichstag in
observance of the tenth anniversary
of constitution day of the German re
public. They heard Minister of the Inte
rior Severing declare that "not for
the first time constitution day falls
at a moment fateful for Germany and
fateful for the world." He pointed
to the tremendous significance of The
Hague conference on reparations now
in session and expressed the hope
that a successful solution for liquid
ation qt the World war and stabil
ization of European peace would be
reached.
