Says W.C.T.U. PRESIDENT
Tulsa, Okla., July 21. Three long years of repeal have cost America 10,000 lives, injuries to 350,000 persons and a
money loss of U.S.$500,000,000, according to Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith, National president of the W.C.T.U.
Drunkenness has been, the scourge that took so' great a toll, she said in an address before the 62nd Annual General convention of the organization.
Mrs. Smith reviews conditions in this country as follows:

Trans-Pacific Airways
U.S. FEARS MENACE OF NEW DISEASES
San Francisco, July 21.
The creation of a trans- Pacific airplane service has automatically given rise to the problem of how to prevent the introduction into the United States, Hawaii, and other countries being aerially served of insects and parasites that might be detrimental to the crops of those countries.
These insects and parasites conceal themselves as stow- aways on the airplanes in the same manner as they do on ships, and thus are carried unknowingly to other countries.
To meet the situation thus created four scientists have already been sent to the island of Guam, which is the largest of the trans- Pacific air bases, where a fight is being made to eradicaté all detrimental plant parasites. Later these scientists will visit ather air bases in the Pacific.
To date, these operating on Guam have reported that they have already found several types of insects and parasites never reported outside of the island.
