34 STATES SURE
OF PROHIBITION
[Continued from First Page.]
twenty-seven states have abolished
liquor. These and seven more are ex
pected to ratify the national amend*
ment, making 34 of the necessary
36. This -would leave only two states
needed for ratification. The seven
states that are expected to turn
against rum are: Kentucky, Florida,
Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Texas and
■Wyoming. In several of these the
legislatures are already pledged. In
the most of them, particularly Ohio,
Kentucky and Texas, the liquor peo
ple have admitted that only a slight
push will make the change from wet
to dry. As only legislatures may
ratify, the wets will make their stand
in the state rfssemblies.
The prohibition states that are ex
pected to quickly ratify the amend
ment are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkan
sas, Colorado. Georgia. Idaho, India
na, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan,
Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, New Mexico, North Caro
lina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ore
gon, South Carolina, South Dakota.
Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washing
ton and West Virginia.
The two needed dry states will
have to be obtained from among the
following: California, Connecticut,
Delaware, Illinois, Ixuilsiana, Mary

Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont and Wiscon

New Jersey a Battleground
New Jersey Is apt to be the scene
of the ttrst big fight, for the matter
will be brought before the legisla
ture Immediately after It assembles.
The battle will be forced in
New York, also.
There is to be held in New York
in the middle of January a big rally
on temperance, in which at least
three societies will join. The place is
a Protestant church, in Fifth Avenue,
and one of the speakers i to be
Father J. J. Curran, of Wilkes-
Barre. Catholic and Protestant tem
perance societies are working In
harmony. Episcopal, Presbyterian,
Methodist. Disciples and Congrega
tional societies are taking foremost
parts.
Since the passage of the measure
by the House the temperance socie
ties of several of the religious bodies
have been swamped by application*
from ministers who want to give up
their churches and enter the fields in
the doubtful states.
The Episcopal society reports that
the unusual proportion of 98 per
cent, of ministers conferred with,
pledged immediate activity in their
own churches and cities.
The weapon to be employed by
virtually all of the societies is the
cartoon. There will be addresses In
great numbers, hut the colored pic
ture is to be exploited by millions
of copies. New magazines are to be
established to carry these cartoons,
and vestibules of churches are to be
lined with enlarged and artistic pos
ters.
This method of attack has been
used during the past year and a half
and is held to have exerted far more
force than speeches and mass meet
ings. Some of the best cartoonists in
the country have been retained, and
some of their work is already in
press. Societies that have known
empty treasuries now report money
In sight in such sums as may be
needed.
Harrisburg's Bit; a Christmas Present to Uncle Saw N
Pershing's Protest Led to
Changes, Is General Belief
Washington, Dec. 20. Vigorous
protests from General Pershing
against the insufficient support given
him and his soldiers in France by the
War Department, culminating finally
in a virtual demand that there be a
reorganization of the ordnance and
quartermaster's bureau, is one of the
Immediate causes of the changes
made in those institutions by the sec
retary of war.
The information which has reached
members of the Senate is that Gen
eral Pershing has been so short of
supplies, including arms and ammu
nition, that he notified the War De
partment that he could not send his
men to the front until there were
manifestations of better support from
his home government.

RED CROSS TO LOOK
AFTER HARRISBURGERS

service, for which the demand has
grown greatly In the last few weeks,
ic is the purpose of the committee to
investigate every case where there is
likely to be distress of any kind be
cause of the absence of the man from
home, and wherever It is necessary
funds from the chapter will be ex
pended, either as loans or outright
grants to families. There will be nu
merous cases in which the allotted
soldier's pay, together with the Gov
ernment's allowance, will not be suf
ficient for the family to keep up its
accustomed standard of living. Be
cause the man of the family Is usu
ally the one who takes care of the
business details of the home, there
are likely to be many problems in
which those who remain at home will
need help.
Expert Worker
In carrying out the program of the
committee. Miss Helen S. Leib, of
New Cumberland, who has just fin
ished a six weeks' training course in
the Red Cross Home Service Institute
at Philadelphia, has Ween secured as
the social worker for the committee.
She will visit the families who may
be reported to the Red Cross as in
any kind of need, and will direct the
efforts of the committee in meeting
thonceds MS they arise.
"Prve committee has already received
a number of requests from the Bu
reau of War Risk Insurance at Wash
ington, to investigifte tfie cases of
families In this city who have writ
ten in to the bureau asking fQr as
sistance. This is an excellent indica
tion that the Government at Wash
ington is depending'on the Red Cross
in the work at home as well as across
the sea. Miss Leib has taken up
these cases for the committee, learned
the facts and has shown the wife just
how to go about the matter of secur
ing the Government allowance. In
one or two cases better positions
were found for the women left at
home, so that they would be more
independent. It is the purpose of
the committee to do constructive
work among these families, helping
them to help themselves, giving ad
vice where needed, and in general
doing whatever the case seems to
warrant.
Special Committee
A special committee of the Home
Service section, known as the consul
tation committee, which is intended
to represent all types of citizens and
callings, has been appointed to assist
in advising in all legal matters. Army
and Navy regulations, nursing prob
lems, school problems, medical prob
lems, etc. This committee consists of
the following; Mrs. William Jennings,
chairman; Miss Mary Cameron, Dr. J.
B. McAllister, Miss Mildred Astrich,
Captain E. Laubenstein, Miss Mary
Miller, Francis J. Brady, Lieutenant
Danforth, N. S. N.; Mrs. E. Z. Gross.
Spencer G. Naumann, Miss Anne Mc-
Cormick, D. D. Hammelbaugh, Mercer
Tate, Mrs Marlin E. Olmsted, Mr. Wil
liam Strouse. The Home Service Ex
ecutive Committee consists of Mrs. M.
E. Olmsted, Mercer B. Tate, Mrs. Wm.
I Jennings, Mrs. W. I. Laubenstein,
Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert and J. H. Mc-
I Candless.
The committee especially desires
that anyone acquainted with families

service should notify the committee
at headquarters as soon as possible.

dities will be banned is not certain as
yet and for the moment Washington
is waiting a general report culled
Xrom replies from all big stores over
the country.
Short er Shoes
One of the big Harrisburg stores
to-day wired their notion of
what should be eliminated, six
teen In number, and it will be notic
ed that candy at least is not sug
gested. One ot the first thoughts
of the manaKemept was that girls
can easily got along minus all r< rts
of cosmetics and these figure first
on the bill. Then, It was concluded
that,ahem,a woman's lower extremi
ties would In nowise suffer if un
cased to the extent of a little less
than four inches of expensive leath
er. What the saving from this dress
ed kid would moan would surely jolt
you, declared the store advertising
sharp who had figured it all 3ut to
show how so many shells could be
constructed per day with that moifey
so foolishly spent.

With this prospective cutting off

little bit. On Saturday night, ac

city did the biggest business of its his

od in any noticeable way, although!
Ino prices have shot up. The candy]
stores are having an exceptional)
year; from morning to night ihc
stores are crowded with patrons.
The people of this nation spend far
more money for candy than do the
people of all* other nations com
bined.
The demand for cafody was never 1
so prreat and this is explained part
'y bv the curtailment of the liquor
