"THE RACE FOR LIFE"
COMING TO COLISEUM '
Ophir, the city celebrated in an
ticjulty for its riches, has dropped f
out of sight completely since the £
days of Solomon. Antiquarians, his- f
torians, geographers, explorers have (
failed to throw light upon Its exact
j location or the fate which caused ,
its disappearance. Did an earth- (
i quake wipe It out? Did it crumble t
'away of age? Did the sea Inundate
j it? Were its people wiped out by ‘
! pestilence? Did the drifting sands
j bury it?
I Nobody knows. The search for It )
i furnishes the domlnent motive in (
the twenty-reel Paramount screen ]
I spectacle, "The Mistress of the j
| World,” which is being presented
| in four smashing pictures. The sec- j
| ond of these, dealing with the thrill- ,
Ing adventures which led up to the (
finding of the lost City of Ophir, ,
which is entitled "The Race for ,
Life," will be presented Tuesday at (
the Coliseum theatre. It is a mas
sive production.

TYPHOID’S LOW DEATH RATE, j
NEW YORK. July 23.—Control of
typhoid fever has made such prog
ress that in 1922 the death rate ;
for this disease was the lowest ever ‘
recorded, according to figures com
piled by the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company.
Based on statistics from one-sev
enth of the total population of the
United States and Canada, the death
rate in the year mentioned was 6.6
per 1000,000 of population. In 1911
the rate was 22.8 per 100,000.
These figures are particularly
cheerful to the American Child
Health Association, which is en
gaged in fighting typhoid as well as
other diseases which affect children
and mothers.

)RY LEGISLATION
FINDING FAVOR IN
THE MIDDLE WEST
'Continued from On* f
lace an “anti-moonshine" laws on
tatute books. This law provides
penalty of six months in Jail and
fine up to $500 for any one found
ullty of having a still in his pos
esslon.
Heretofore the mere possession of
still was not necessarily evidence
f guilt; It was necessary to prove(
rafficklng In liquor. It was neces
ary that the officers produce as
videnc e the liquor “sold, bartered,
ir given away."
Two bills were introduced In the
ecent legislature to make the saje
if liquor causing death first degree
nurdcr, but both bills were killed
n committee.
The federal internal revenue col
Bctor's efforts to collect taxes from
moonshiners" whose Btills may be
eized, is made easier by a new law
rhich makes the filing of such Fed
■ral tax Hen when the register deed
if any county equivalent to a chattle
nortgage against the property of the
illeged illicit liquor maker.
MICHIGAN — No prohibition bills
vere passed. Three were introduced
with the sponsorship of the Michigan
\nti-Saloon League, suggesting that)
Iriving while intoxicated be made a,
'elony, furnishing poisonous liquor i
mnishable as manslaughter and that
jroprietors of soft drink establish
nents and pool rooms be required
,o waive their rights under the search
md seizure laws. All passed one
>ranch, but died in committtee in
he other.
mirMrNE,«u i a — wun me passage
>f amendments by the 1923 legls
ature to prohibition laws In effect,
Minnesota stands out pre-eminently
n having the most drastic prohlbi
lon laws of any state In the Unlotv.
Under the provisions of the new
aws it is illegal to possess a for
nula, recipe or directions which are
lesigned for use, or used for, or in
onnection with the manufacture of
ntoxlcatlng liquor. The law explains
hat it is also illegal to possess any
ipparatus, implements, machine or
levice, jugs, and other containers,
tsed in the manufacturing or stor
ng of liquor.
It further provides that the de
duction of any apparatus. Impla
non t or machine, any recipe, formu
a or directions, or any container, Is
>rima fade evidence that these were
or use In cognection with the manu
lacture or possession of liquor, and
hat, any building wherein liquor is
told is subject to abatement proceed
ings and closing for any kind of
iise for one year.
MISSOURI—More stringent enforce
lieot of prohibition laws was pro
josed In seven bills introduced in
he recent session of the Missouri
egislature. Two of the important
neasures passed include a general
•egulatory prohibition act and an
let providing that cities may pass
>rdlnances to aid in the enforce
nent of prohibition.
The regulatory prohibition meas
ire gives police officials and county
ifflcers more power to enforce the
Eighteenth Amendment, and imposes
leavy fines and penalties for viola
ions- It does not affect soft drink
stablishmcnts or manufacturers of
iroprietary medicines, operating un
ler government permits.
The measure canids drastic pro
isions for the punishment of per
ons apprehended while transporting
Iquor, and makes It a felony pun
Bhable by a sentence to the state
►enitentiary for anyone to manufec
ure, sell or give away “moonshine,
lootch, or corn whiskey," that causes
oss of life, sight, or is the cause
if maiming an imbiber of the liquor,
’hyslcians are not permitted, under
he provisions of the bill, to charge
nore for liquor prescriptions than
tor other prescriptions.
A measure introduced by Mrs.
Helen T. Smith, representative from
3t. Louis County, and enacted, per
mits cities, towns and villages to
enact ordinances to aid in the en
forcement of the Federal dry laws
arithtn their territory.
NEBRASKA — Nebraska enacted

NORTH DAKOTA North Dakota
In its recent session of the legis
lature wrote into the statutes vir
tually all the provisions of the Fed
eral prohibition enforcement acts, thus
Insuring state prosecution of liquor
rases independently of Federal ac
tion. It also adopted a clause per
mitting each physician in the state
to harve five gallons of liquor a year
for prescription use.
OHIO—^Two prohibition hills, were
passed by the Ohio legislature and
signed by Governor Donaghey.
One bill classifies as second degree
murder the act of furbishing death
dealing liquors, makes the manufac
ture of distilled liquor a felony, and
the solicitor guilty with the person
selling it.
The other enacts into the state
laws the Federal "padloCk" clause.
This would permit Ohio courts to
order locked up for a period of not
more than one year premises de
clared to be nuisances because of
the manufacture or sale thereon of
intoxicating liquor
OKLAHOMA—Prohibition legisla
tion came up early in the Ninth
Oklahoma legislature. Two dry laws
were enacted. The first declares
that any person wUo sells, gives
away or otherwise furnishes any 11- i
quor, preparation or compound for 1
beverage purposes which causes
death, shall he guilty of murder.
The second bars the manufacture of i
distilling apparatus except by per-, 1
sons properly licensed by Federal i 1
authorities; ars the making of li
quor or any mash, or wash; do- 1
dares the discovery of liquor mak- '
ing apparttus or materials in any j I
building or enclosure to be prima <
facie evidence against the person
In actual possession of the building >
or enclosure, and fixes the penalty
for violation at $100 to $5,000 and | >
one to ten years.
Both bills wore drawn by H. T. i
Laughhaum, state superintendent of (I
the Anti-Saloon League, and had thei
league's support.
SOUTH DAKOTA—The t02?. ses- l
sion of the South Dakota legislature;'
took no action either for cr against 11
prohibition.
TEXAS—Two measures affecting |
Texas prohibition laws, and passed
by the recent session of the legis- >
lature, have been approved by Gov-1
ernor Neff. One bill permits re-,
moval of county officers for one of
fense of intoxication. Under prev- '
ious laws, removal required convlc-jl
tion on three counts.
The other bill requires county of-1
ficers who seize liquor 16 make tri-jl
plicate reports of the amount, one I
copy going to the person accused
of possessing the liquor, the second i
to the county clerk, the third to bejl
retained by the sheriff. This meas- i
nro also charges the sheriff with <
keeping seized liquors until ordered I
destroyed. 1
Numerous other prohibition meas
iros were introduced, hut failed of .
lassago.
WISCONSIN—The Severson law,
Visconsin's prohibition enforcement
tatute, emerged from the present
ession of the legislature unscathed
lespite attacks from wet forces.
When wets and drys took stock
if their accomplishments after the
lefeat of the final bill aimed at
he enforcement statute, the friends
if prohibition pointed to ten dead
vet bills, while the anti-prohibition
orees were able to claim only one
esolutlon asking congress to so
intend the Volstead art as to permit
he highest possible alcoholic content
n beer compatible with the Kigh
eenth Amendment,
The concerted attack of the wets
u the assembly, directed at the
epeal of the Severson law, was sttc
essfnl by a five vote margin in the
ower house, hut met decisive defeat
n the Senate. Indefinite postpone
nent was given the proposal 19
o 12 by the upper house, without
my preceding discussion.
An attempt to modify the onforce
nent statute by restricting the search
ind seizure clause, a move openly
iponsored lty Governor Rlaine and
avored by the assembly, was stopped
ihort by adverse Senate action.
Several other attacks on the dry
aw met defeat when they ran against
he Senate dry majority. With every
vet measure killed beyond the pos
ilbility or revival, the Wisconsin
iquor statuto stands unamended for
mother two years. This statute was l
inacted by the 1921 legislature, and i
s supported by the Anti-Saloon i
,oague.
