Sunday Drinking Cause
Problem for Free State
DUBLIN, Aug. 19. (TP)—'The ques
tion of Sunday drinking in the Free
State has become a subject for ac
tive discussion. It has been whol
ly abolished in Northern Ireland, but
in the Free State the provision en
abling a bona fide traveler who has
gone three miles from his home to
get drink, has nullified the general
law, and public houses in the neigh
borhood of Dublin and other large
towns do a large trade with the Sun
day bona fide traveler.
Along the Ulster border a similar
trade has sprung up, and large num
bers of excursionists from Northern
Ireland cross into the Free State
every Sunday as bona fide travelers
in search of a drink. 'This is par
ticularly noted between South Down
and the village of Omeath in Coun
ty Louth. Opinion in the Free State
is divided. A large number of peo
ple favor complete Sunday closing
and the abolition of the bona fide
traveler privilege. An official wit
ness before the Liquor Commission
indicated his view that Sunday open
ing for everybody between the hours
limited would be a better course.
A meeting of the priests of the dio
cese of Clonfert, Most Rev. Dr. Dig
nan, Bishop of the diocese presid
ing, strongly condemned the suggest
ed general opening of drink shops
on Sunday. In view of the exces
sive facilities in Ireland at present
for getting intoxicating drink the
preists thought universal Sunday op
ening would be a national disaster.
Airplane and Camera Aid
In Annual Crop Census
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 19. (TP)—
Successful experiments with an aer
ial camera to determine if crops can
be readily distinguished from high
altitudes offer the means of supple
menting the regular crop census ev
ery five years with a supplemental
census every summer in the opinion
of C. J. West, statistician of the
U. S. bureau of agricultural econo
mics here.
Mr. West recently returned from
McCook field, Dayton, where, in the
company of army pilots, he survey
ed farm lands at an altitude of 5,
000 feet and by means of a power
ful camera developed at McCook
field obtained 60 photographs.
The major crops can easily be dis
tinguished from the air,” said Mr.
West, “and I was particularly im
pressed with the way a farm shows
up from an altitude of 5,000 feet.
“At present we have a crop cen
sus every five years. By airplane
we could supplement this every sum
mer and find out whether the amount
of acreage in different crops is vary
ing from the amount established by
census.
Los Angeles Children
Become Very Thrifty
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19. (&)—The
teaching of thrift has become part of
the curriculum of nearly 200 public :
schools here. The subject involves
the “value of a savings account”
and “home and business economy.”

and biological oceanography in the
Pacific, the tidal movements, tempera
tion of "waters and allied topics.
2. Radio broadcasting and aerial
currents on the Pacific, the obsta- i
cles to wireless transmission and
means to overcome them.
3. Structure of the earth and its
movements in the districts border
ing on the Pacific, earthquakes, ele

At Nuka Bay there is one chap who

representative that he expected soon
to set up a couple of “snoose boxes”.
This will take place he said, after he
digs down to dead rock where his

alysis the peculiar water in Nuka
Bay, which he calls “swelling wa

tide. He greatly feared however, re
gardless of how well he corked the
bottle, that the water would burst
out of the receptacle before it ar
rives at its destination. Other un
usual names he handles rough-shod

“sea dogs” for seals.
