Washington.--A.fter bowling over a batch of amendments offered by the wets, the house approved a $27340,: 905 appropriation for prohibition enforcement. The treasury prohibition unit was allowed $11,990,966 for the fiscal year 1928 and for the coast guard $15,349.- 040, the latter an Increase of $790,000 over last year. The big fight occurred on a motion by Representative James A. Gallivan (Democrat) of Massachusetts to withhold funds from the treasury prohibition unit on the grounds it if; "wasting the people's money In an attempt to enforce an unenforceable law." The wets split wide open on Galilean's proposition and the motion WHS smothered, 140 to 12. Representatives LaGuardla (Republican) of New York, Dyer (Republican) of Missouri. Hill (Republican) of Maryland and Schafer (Kepub llcan) of Wisconsin, all wets, voted for the appropriation. LaGuardla said members were "honor bound" to. vote funds. Schafer said: "The correct procedure is try and modify the prohibition act and not to nullify it by withholding appropriations." • Martin B. Madden of Illinois, chairman of the appropriations committee and a wet, delivered the most scorching attack on the Gallivan motion. He shouted: "We have sworn to obey the law and aid in its enforcement I would be untrue to my oath of office If I failed to rise against this attempt to assassinate the law. "Prohibition is the law of the land. We are here at least to obey the law. If w« don't do that what can we e*- pect of others? The amendment is unworthy of the gentleman from Massachusetts." MGuardia put one hole in General Andrews' plans, however, when, at his instigation, the chairman struck out an allowance of $500,000 <^or ^'finder 'cover" men. He made the point of order that It was contrary to law for the government to pay in advance for services.

Etruscan Study Planned The Etruscans, predecessors of the Roman civilization In the Italian peninsula, are to have their little-known history Investigated by a group of Italian scholars, who organized for this purpose at a national Etruscan congress recently held at Milan. Present knowledge of the Etruscan race and Its culture is very fragmentary, though they had a high civilization and proud cities In Italy when Rom« was a mere collection of huts besid^' the Tiber. Their influence was strongly felt In the days1 of the ^arly republic, and . survivals of their religion probably held In the cults of Rome to the very end of paganism. It is believed by one of the Italian scholars interested In the movement that the famous burled city of Pompeii wa^1 originally an Etruscan settlement, -V-j Jtmboratdry on Wheels^ John Graham, the premier pathfinder of the United States, has been traveling between 40,000 and 50,000 miles a year for the past 14 years. He now has a nation-wide Job of checking road maps for one of the largest map firms In the world. His soout car looks like a laboratory or a power house, and on the instrument board are found a tachometer, aneroid barometer, ammeter, oil gauge, gasoline gauge, ignltlonv and light switches, speedometer, odometer and clock. Among the equipment ire shovels and tow chains, ax, portable typewriter, compass, sleeping outfit, a gallon of gas, a gallon of oil and clothes for eight or ten weeks. Chicha Knew the Call The perplexing problem of -identifying 135 stolen chickens from a flock of 5,000 was solved by Mrs. Alfred Garand at Williamstown, N. .T. When the police asked her to. prove ownership, Mrs. Garand stood In an adjacent field apd began to whistle "There's no place like home." One by one the chickens hopped out of 'the flock and came over to her until 135 phickens, looking very much like brothers and sisters, stood peeping and crowing at her feet. The woman explained that every morning before feeding her flock she whistled that tune in the poultry ~ house, a signal for straying chicks to cowd around the cracked-corn hopper. Swedea Take to Auto P/' AwericaiPmotor cars are helping to motorize Sweden's highroad traffic at breakneck speed and the total Swed ish Import of automobiles and accessories during 1925 shows a Jump ot more than 30 per cent over the pre ceding year, according to official re ports published in Stockholm. Of the '/total sum of $10,612,000 spent for foreign cars in 1925, more than $9,000,000 was paid for cars of American makes. Hundreds of Applications Piled Up On Desk of Secretary of State Emmerson ^Please give me a low number for my car--anything in two figures or three figures, but if you can't give me that, at least a four-figure number." That, in substance, Ms the plea in hundreds of letters piled up on the desk" of Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson. There are more applications for low numbers this year than ever befope and there are fewer available numbers. Under the law the holder of a low number may have it reassigned to him provided he makes application at least thirty days prior to January 1. Owing to the increasing demand for low numbers, very few owners failed to make their requests on December 1 and the few not called for already have been assigned. In order that all would have an opportunity to do so, application blanks and notices were sent by Secretary of State Emmerson early in November to all holders of licenses from No. 1 to No. 20,000 and to all holders of freak* numbers and combination numbers. "I felt that the holders of these numbers should be reminded of the law so that none of them would neglect filing their applications through oversight," Secretary Emmerson said recently. "Evidently the reminder worked, for very few of the thousands who received the notices failed to have their applications here on time." In a great many instances where the owner of an automobile has died or moved from the state, application has been filed by a relative or near friend with the statement that the number was willed to him. While this transfer of a low number, of course, is not obligatory on him, Mr. Emmerson says he makes the assignment as requested,' whenever it can be dbne. This, of course, further' curtails the number of available low numbers. Applications in general are coming in earlier this year than ever before and the indications are, Mr. Emmerson states, that the automobile department on January 1 will be far ahead of its schedule in the percentage of applications filed. Under the law the applications are required to be in by January 1. A large force of typists and mail sorters have been added to take care of the rush. The new system of handling licenses through a central cashier department and the installation of automatic number machines greatly facilitates the work. Eat Meat NASH NOVEMBER SALES - FAR AHEAD OF YEAR AGO Again Nash sales and production have established a new high record Itnd figures show that sales for November 1926 far surpass those of November a year ago. And Nash sales for the first eleven months of 1926 have exceeded the sales for the first eleven months of 1925 by the large and impressive margin of 45 per cent. The eleven months' sales of 1926 represent a figure which exceed^ by over 2,000 cars the total sales of the first ten months 6f 1924 and 1925-- twenty months--combined.. These figures emphatically prove that a discriminating motor wise public is expressing more and more its approval of seven-bearing cranksaft motor performance. George A.
