Irish Primate Advocates
Strict Sunday Prohibition
DUBLIN, Sept. 9. (/P)—Archbishop
O’Donnell, Primate of all Ireland,
has denounced the evasion which the
difference between the drink laws
in Northern Ireland and the Free
State permits. The North has wholly
abolished Sunday drinking. The South
mountains an exemptions in favor
of the bona fide traveler.
Omeath in County Louth in the
Free State is half a mile of watei
across the Border from Northern
Ireland, and on Sundays large num
bers of Northern excursionists go
there to avail themselves oi the
privilege of Sunday drinking grant
ed in the Free State.
“Drunkenness is not the only evil
which these unworthy members of
society exhibit,” says the archbishop.
“They have also brought with them
the practice of dancing degraded
dances from wrhich decent paganism
w’ould recoil,and they are quite un
abashed in desiring further facili
ties for drink and dancing in juxta
position.” He advocates the closing
of public houses on Sunday altogeth
er.

Huge Waste Gasoline
Results From Useless
Running of Motors
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 10. (£>)—
Statistics compiled by Prof. Alexan
der Silverman, head of the chemis
try department of the University of
Pittsburgh, disclose that automobile
and truck drivers annually are wast
ing 385,270,200 gallons of gasoline.
This waste is caused by permitting
motors to run while the machines
are standing still.
In addition to the gasoline waste
the useless operation of the motors,
declares Prof. Silverman, releases
257,864,120,400 cubic feet of carbon
monoxide gas, which has caused nu

Famine Victims On Island
In Japan Eat Ground Bark
TOKIO, Sept. 9. (#>)—A commis
sion which recently returned from
the Loochoo Islands, which lie be
tween Japan and Formosa, reported
that the inhabitants have been re
duced to abject misery because of
the scarcity of food this year. Many
of them, it was stated, are eating
the bark of banana palms ground
into powder. It is nowT proposed that
the unfortunate residents be per
mitted to use the sugar and sake
taxes, amounting to about 3,000,000
yen, for the purchase of food.
During the war boom the Loochoo
Islanders w’axed prosperous and wTere
able to buy rice. Their usual diet is
sweet potatoes, part of which they
grow and the remainder of which
they import from Satsuma. The sug
ar price this year, however, was such
that the inhabitants could make no
profit whatever and were unable to
import their usual sweet potato ra
tions. In addition the bonito catch
was also very poor. Consequently the
Japanese commission reported a seri
ous food shortage and recommended
that steps be taken by the govern
ment to ameliorate the condition of
the islanders.
