:15 per cent above the average at
the end of September, 1933.
Whereas late in April this year
thp Chicago market prices aver

Its scope la as wide as the uni
verse and limited only by bn-
manity’s need.
One outstanding goal is the
education pf childhood _(and a-
dults) concerning the effects of
alcohol beverage and. the inher
ent qualities of alcohol... as a
habit-forming drug and a racial
poison.
Every child has a right to be
well born, to an education, to be
morally safeguarded and spir
itually trained.
The education of the masses
(and individuals) as to the evil
effect of alcohol and the dP.nger
of its use is fundamental. We
magnify the adult education as
well as childhood education as
to the fiildings of science and
medicine relative to the habit-
forming poison.
The AV. C. T. U. emphasizes
religious educationj Religious
education is hardly at its best
when it consists mainly in the
imparting of information and
the stirring of the emotion. It
should result in right conduct
and formation of lifelong habits
in right living. The aims of the
A\’. C. T. U. is to promote such
education by putting helps into
the hands of leaders and teach
ers. It should be impressed upon
the youth in both home and
school that no man was ever
made great by the use of alco
holic liquors, but that many
great men have gone down to
defeat and disgrace ■ because of
its use. Emphasis in the need for
education to counteract the dis
regard for law which is increas
ing at an alarming rate.
The AV. C. T. U. seeks to pro
mote health and happiness.
This organization furnishes
an incentive for scientific and
economic research and study of
legislative methods of dealing
with a great social evil in the
whole civilized world as well as
a definite avenue of helpfulness
to humanity. The work of the
W. C. T. U. is carried on in more
than fifty countries.
This organization has persist
ed and grown and has been one
of the greatest factors of the
United States in the promotion
of patriotism. Our goal is to
create a citizenry which refuses
to dVink because it understands
the personal and social conse
quence.
The mission of the W. C. T. U.
is holy and far reaching.
Those of us who are to guide
the destinies of the future
through conditions more com
plex than hitherto known must
have a steady hand and a clear
mind. It is the adequate, abund
ant. significant life we are all
seeking, each one in his own
way.
AA'e must learn the real mean
ing of life and play a satisfying
part in interperting it, to evalu
ate life in terms of quality. We
must cultivate habits that con
trol. ambition that motivates,
will that overcomes obstacles.
Our greatest need in our work
is more women who are willing
to struggle, suffer and win.
It is our purpose to search out
those who are In sympathy with
the cause and mould them into
one great organized body. Let
us organize the scattered power.
AVe must have the numerical
support.
Never has the womanhood of
our land been subjected to a
more appealing and apalling,
challenge than is ours today.
We need women with all the
courage of our pioneer women
of 1620, when they turned their
backs on beautiful old England
and set sail for unfriendly-
shores. AVe need the courage of
those other women, America#
first citizens of 1775. We need
the spirit that held the union to
gether in 1861.
Our membership field is wide,
our incentive is great.
The program outlined above is
a broad one. One that shonid
challenge the Interest and sup
port of every loyal American
woman who has the interest of
her home, her community and
her nation at heart. We Invite
all wlK are In sympathy with
this program to become mem
bers of our great organization
and share with us its ideals. To
every public spirited woman we
extend our challenge.

Greate«t Air Force in
History of America
Win BCj Ogp^zed
Washington, Oct. 2.—^aniza-j
tion of the greatest fighting air
force ever marshalled by the Uni-
ted States was announced by the
war department today. j
As an integral part of the re
organization of the United States
army, now under way. it was an-^
nounced that practically all serv
iceable combat planes in the air
corps had been organized into an
independent general headiquarters
air force, to operate directly under
the direction of the chief of staff
of the army.
Announcement of the program
came as Brig. Gen. William Mitch ^
ell charged that “boy scouts” in'
the war department had frustrat- ^
eij military aircraft development.
He recommended to the federal
aviation commission a fleet of 60
dirigibles, flanked by bombers able
to cruise long distances, and
“capable of attacking Japan.” , '
“Japan,” Mitchell said, “is our
most dangerous enemy.” i
The GHQ force, comprising at
present 48 fighting units of ap
proximately 450 bombardment,
pursuit and attack planes, will be
concentrated at eight army air
fields from coast to coast. When
the new planes now under con
struction or soon to be purchased
are completed, the new air force
will comprise about 900 combat
planes, all prepared at a moment’s
notice to fly to the defense of the
nation, and all capable of being
concentrated in one area of the
United States within three or four
days of the sounding of a general
alarm.
The Tables Turned
He was one of those smart
men who like to show their clev
erness.
"Watch me take a rise out of
him,” he said, as the tramp ap
proached. Then he listened sol
emnly to the tale of hard luck.
“That’s the same old story
you told me the last time you ac
costed me,” he said, j when the
vagrant had finished,'.
“Is it?” was the' answering
question. "When did I tell it to
you?”
’“Last week.”
"Mebbe I did, mpbbe I did,”
admitted the tramp. I’d forgot
ten meeting you. I was in prison
ail last week.”
They Do
People differ. Some object to
a fan dancer, and others to the
