The Execu-(population of the United States near-1 fumes in the building, and no danger tive Council of the American Federa- jly 5,000 in the ten year period' cover-j of Are, the designers of the structure tion of Labor has alligned itself with .ed by the 1920 census, according to say. the advocates of light wines and beer and has called upon all members of the Federation and other citizens to demand of their Senators and Con gressmea that the Volstead act be amended accordingly. A formal de claration of the position taken by the Federation and adopted by the coun cil was issued today. It contends that the present law is being disregarded and that it cannot be enforced. The declaration is addressed to the Amer lean people. It reads: "The American Federation of La bor, as spokesman of the unorganized as well as the organized, having in mind the interest and the welfare of one people, decided by unanimous vote in its convention held in Denver in June, 1921, that the Volstead en forcement act must be modified so as to permit the manufacture and sale of beer and light wines. "Before this decision was reached the Executive Council of the A. F. of L. had caused to be made an exhauS' tive investigation of the effects of the Volstead act. It was shown by this investigation that there had been: "1. A general disregard of the law among all classes of people, including those; who made the law. "2. Creation of thousands of moon shiners among both country and city dwellers. "3. The creation of an army of bootleggers. "4. An amazing increase in the traffic in poisons and deadly concoc tions and drugs. "5. An increased rate of insanity, blindness and crime among the users of these concoctions and drugs. "6. Increase in unemployment due to loss of employment by workers in forty-five industries directly or in directly connected with the manufac ture of liquors. "7. Increase in taxes to city, State and national Governments amounting to approximately $1,000,000,000 per year. "Having in mind these results of the extreme interpretation of the pro hibition amendment contained in the Volstead act, as well as the enormous expense of the attempt to enforce that unenforceable legislation, it is our conclusion that the act is an im proper interpretation of the prohibi tion amendment, that it is a social and a moral failure, and that it is a dangerous breeder of discontent and of contempt for all law. "Something of the economic effect of the Volstead law may be seen by considering the fact that in 19 IS, according to Government statistics, $11,). 000. 000 worth of farm pro dues were consumed by breweries, and that the transportation of these products to the manufacturer and thence to the consumer necessitated the use of 133,666 railroad cars. In addition to this, breweries in opera-! tion in 191S consumed 50,000 car loads of coal. It must be obvious that the total economic effect of the de struction of this industry is tremendous. the Journal of the American Medical Special rates are planned for the' Association. ' latre goers and shoprers. in 1910 the census showed 57,272 blind persons, while ten years later the number was 52,617. Analyzing the census figures, the Journal points out that the ration of 49.8 blind persons per hundred thou sand population averages one victim of blindness to every 2,000. Males predominate over females by about three to two. Blindness is most common among Indians, with about 200 blind per hundred thousand population, of four times the rate for the country as a whole. Negroes also have a com paratively large amount of blindness, THREE WEEKS HONEYMOON FOR THE PRINCESS BRIDE London, Feb. 28. It is under stood that Viscount Lascelles and Princess Mary will pass the first part of their honeymoon at Weston Park, the Shropshire home of the Earl and Countess of Bradford, who are dis tantly related to Lord Lascelles. Weston Park is a charming resi dence, set amid beautiful surround ings and is in a portion of the coun try as yet quite unknown to the Prin cess who is expected to pass about three weeks there. It is one of the with 60 per hundred thousand. There most comfortable residences along are 4S.3 blind per hundred thousand white persons, and only 23.2 per hundred thousand among the Japa nese and Chinese. Of the geographic divisions, New England has the greatest amount of blindness, with 63.5 per hundred thousand while the lowest rate h in the west south central states, with but 41.6. Of the states, New Mexico tops the list with 153.2 per hundred thousand, and Wyoming is at the bottom with only 15.4. "THE UNLOVED WIFE" Do mothers of pretty daughters instinctively take a dislike to hand some young men? Generally it works out that way in real life. But in "The Unloved Wife," a new play in three acts, which comes to the Wilson Theatre for two performances to night, with matinee special for ladies only, the authoress, Miss Florence Edna May, does not fully agree with that thought. Money covers a multi tude of sins, but Miss May declares money should not react against God's fairest flower American Woman hood, and in her play she placed be fore her audiences the vital truths of married life. The authoress boldly declares that it is possible for a wo man to neglect her own proper de velopment when obessed by a too worshipful love of her "lord and mas ter," and that such love may, in time have effect in turning the object of her devotion away from her. The awakening of a wife to a realization of this fact is one of the most dra matic moments in this remarkable play. How many married couples that you know are still saying: "We are still on our honeymoon."

There is some talk of a state bail being held at Buckingham Palace In the early summer in honor of their marriage. These functions went out of fashion, but they formed a great feature of the court season in the days of Queen Victoria, when Alex andra, then Princess now the Dow ager Queen, usually acted as the Queen's representative. In those days, these entertain ments were most deadly dull and King Edward used to be quite frank in expressing his gratification when they came to an end.
