PRESIDENT OF
WCTU WANTS
LAW ENFORCED
By Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO Aug 18-
Women of the country were called on
to give their vigorous support to law
enforcement by Miss Anna A Gordon
president of the National Woman’s
Christian Tembperance Union at the
opening of its forty-eighth annual
convention here today
This was the keynote struck by
Miss Gordon in her address on “The
Expanding Program of Our New
Crusade”
“We are not discharged from our
peaceful anti-alcohol warfare of the
past four decades” Miss Gordon told
delegates representing 600000 W C
T U members "We cannot lay down
our arms
“Muclj territory remains to be pos-
sessed for our foundation principles of
total abstinence and prohibition
"We thank God for the eighteenth
amendment that legally breaks down
the bulwarks of our enemy But to-
day he fights in the open He is very
much alive as a law-breaker and a
beer bolshevist He would like to
make the W C T U believe that its
warfare against alcohol is accom
plished and that law enforcement need
not be our great object
"Our chief danger lies in the apathy
and indifference of many good peo-
ple who aided in securing the law
An ' unescapable obligation Miss
Gordon declared rests upon every law
citizen bravely to co-operate with
federal and state enforcement officials
and to work for the election regard-
less of party affiliations of candidates
who believe in prohibition and its en-
forcement Today she added the United States
is a vast unified laboratory where the
findings and declarations of eminent
European and American scientists
economists and socialogists concern-
ing the dangers of alcoholic drink and
the benefits of prohibition are being
successfully tested
"All the world is looking on” Miss
Gordon said “and will judge prohibi-
tion by the brand that is labeled
'Made in America’
"To enlighten the family of nations
we must help hold aloft the brightly
burning torch of a well enforced suc-
cessful prohibitory law We must still
crusade We must still dare Com-
rades we must ‘carry on’”
Reporting on her recent trip to
South America Miss Gordon said that
prohibition was a live issue in Chile
Argentina Brazil Paraguay and Ura
guay and that the presidents of Chile
and Uruguay were enlisted in the pro-
hibition movement
Sentiment for world disarmament
W C T U leader declared must “un-
ceasingly be created and constantly
kept at white heat”

the problems of navigation between
Europe and the mouths of the Sibe-

Yamal peninsula which would make it
possible for ships to avoid the Kara
Sea where because of ice navigation
is almost impossible
The expedition is to go first by
rail to Omsk thence by steamer along
the river Obi northward while a part
of the way it will have to go on
horseback or be drawn by moose
Another of the aims of the investi-
gation is the fitting up of wireless
communication with the Siberian
coast and the establishing of stores
of supplies etc along the coast
The party leaving will include eight
professors engineers of various tech-
nical branches some students and
others making a whole of about 200
men As equipment they will have

ous scientific and technical instru-
ments and as much other necessary
material as can be carried

Civilization’s Greatest
Achievement
Some Eskimos were brought down to
Edmonton Alberta on official business
They had never before been south of the
Arctic Circle
They had never seen a street a town a
window or a wooden door A bed a water
tap and an electric light produced completely
new sensations Street cars were unknown
to them telephones unheard of trains not to
be believed even when beheld
They had never seen an automobile until
someone took them riding in one They had
never set their eyes on an airplane until some-
one did his most daring stunts in one to thrill
them They had never even seen a movie I
But what do you suppose moved them most
in the whole bag of tricks which civilization
produced for their amusement and amazement?
What seemed to them the greatest wonder
of all?
The cold storage plants 1
The White Man didn’t always have to
hunt and fish when he wanted to eat I
