Four dilapidated Besseneau hangars, canvas affairs with wooden frames, are to be replaced by three naw structures of permanent air service type. The old hangars, originally designed as temporary knock-down structures, were erected during the World War. The new ones are constructed of steel girders with asbestos covering and metal roofs and sides. Underground oil and gas tanks, a new feature at Logan Field, are being installed in connection with the construction work. A large concrete platform will be built near the tanks to enable planes1) to taxi close up to them. This arrangement, together with a long rubber hose, is expected to facilitate service and eliminate former fuel problems. Material for two of the new hangars was furnished by the Government, but the funds for the actual erection of the buildings was supplied by the State of Maryland and the work was done under the supervision of the National Guard. Work on the third hangar is being done by contract under the supervision of the Third Corps Area^ quartermaster and involves an expenditure of about $9500. Altogether, the three new hangars will accommodate 18 planes. According to Capt. Charles T. HUCKSTER WINS APPEAL ON LNTOXICATION CHARGE. Guy W.

(Special to The Jeffersonian) Crime in the United States, in proportion to the population, has decreased rather than increased since prohibition went into effect, according to a report made public by the World League Against Alcoholism. Savings to the States through the decrease in crime exceed the amount formerly paid as revenue by the liquor interests, the report sets forth, the saving being "conservatively estimated" at $200,000,000 annnally. The survey, which the league says is the most extensive of the kind ever made, is based on figures from the police departments of 300 cities and the District of Columbia, every State except North Carolina and Oklahoma being represented. It covers arrests for all causes in the MARTIN J. MURPHY DEAD. MEN OP KINGSVILLE CHURCH HOLD SUPPER. WOMAN 68, KILLED Struck By Auto After Alighting Prom Car Ou York Road.

Efforts to form a labor union among the workers at the Bethlehem Steel Company's plant at Sparrows Point will be made by Daniel M.

Alter a debate renewed from week to week since the election, a condemning those men who "live on or by the American Federation of Labor for their utterances and activities opposed to the action of the American Federation of Labor in the last Presidential campaign." A number of speakers made it clear they believe a labor official has a right to vote as he wants to, but they acted against the best interests of the movement in trying to influence votes for any candidate except La Follette, who had the official indorsement.

A church-wide program has been adopted by Presbyterians for Sunday, December 14th, at which a cash offering \vill_ be taken in every Presbyterian Cliurch of the South for additional and improved equipment in the Home and Foreign Mission Fields. The Towson Presbyterian Church, of which Rev. Robert L. Riddle is pastor, will arrange a special program for the occasion. last four years prior to prohibition j and the first four years of prohibi-! tion. , "It is true the number of arrests in the 'dry' period in the 300 cities is greater than the number for the 'wet' " the report says, "but when analyzed in connection with the increase in population, which is 5,000,-000, the findings are contrary to the accepted belief that we are growing more criminal. "The actual decrease in arrests for drunkenness since the Volstead act went into effect is 42.3 per cent for the 300 cities, or a million fewer cases of drunkenness each year than there were in the 'wet' period, for the whole nation. Where formerly 'drunk' cases made up 32.5 per cent, of th etotal arrests, they now are cut to 18.8 per cent. "From 1913 to 1916 there was a yearly average of 58,946 arrested for all causes out of every 1,000,000 population. The total for 300 cities was 1,756,078. During the first four years of prohibition arrests for all causes were 2,040,700, or 58,859 per 1,000,000 population. The population in these cities has increased 5,000,000 during the four years. Applying this ratio of increase to the entire population, we have a yearly total of nearly 10,000,-000 fewer arrests during the 'dry period than during the 'wet.' "Failure to take into consideration all the surrounding circumstances is largely responsible for much talk about increase in crime. Police records show the greatest single factor in arrests today is the automobile, especially in the big cities. The largest number of arrests generally is for violation of traffic laws. "The savings to the States that can be pointed to directly in connection with our crime situation are bigger today than they were before prohibition. The 1,000,000 fewer drunks, the arrest of each costing the police department alone $94, has resulted in savings from $95,-000,000 yearly. Adding to this the additional cost of trial and detention this amount could be doubled and yet be a conservative estimate."
