The national drink bill has dropped from $430,000,000 in 1929 to $430,000,000 in 1927. Watson said the latter is the worst presented to the inch revenue.
Britain, however, still spends two shillings in every pound sterling of national income on drank, the Band of Hope was told. The conference launched a campaign for one million more pledges of abstinence.

(Other Campus Specials)
Columbus Monument is — Final plans for the finishing of the Memorial Tower will be completed this fall. The Memorial Tower was erected as a memorial to the University of Missouri during their lives during the World War.
Flames for the installation of chimens, the stained glass windows, and the fireplaces in the apartment under way. Several English and American firms have already submitted bills for the chimne and clock construction which will take a year to install.

Then storms were reported in the region of the Aorones. The weather in the Bay of Biscay was threatening and the storm area apparently ex-

and a colleague continued the south along the Rhone
valley, at 9 n. m., she passed Montelmann, 83 miles down the Rhone, at 10.9 n. m., she had reached the Mediterranean, passing over the wireless
town of Le Mér, to do in Mer, on the
Gulf of Lyons.
A message from the dirigible picked up by a French wireless station this afternoon indicated Eckner had decided to take the more direct route across Spain rather than the southern Mediterranean course.
The message and the Graf Eppelman intended to fly from Barcelona across Spain, via Madrid and Lisbon, Portugal, to Azores. Such a course was unanticipated because of Biscay entirely. The change of route was otherwise unconfirmed.
Due to her changes of course and perhaps to head winds, the zeppelin was making rather slow progress. Her speed from Lyon to Barcelona, a distance of 559 miles, averaged 55.42 km/h, while her cruising speed of 68 miles an hour. It took six hours and 19 minutes to make the trip.
Her time between Lyons and Monclair, a distance of 83 miles, was an hour and a half, or just about 55 1.2 miles an hour.
The 77 miles between Mountaintop and St. Maries De La Mer was negotiated in another hour and a half, or a little better than 51 miles an hour. The 190 miles from St. Maries to Barcelona was made in three hours and 19 minutes, or almost 57 miles an hour.
The reported change of course was not accepted without reservation here, however, from St. Maries De La Mer he zeppelin pursued a southwesterly tour along the coast of the gulf of Lyons. She was making peculiar changes of direction. The impression here was that she would not travel directly toward Africa, passing out through the struts of Gibraltar along the Moroccan coast to Anderra and the Azores.
The French National Netoreteological service, replying to Ecker's request for weather predictions along the route, notified him that the Labrador depression continued, with disturbances in latitude 60, persisting from east to south of Sainte-Amanda and the Azores west-southwest of United States a strong wedge wind prevented at the higher levels. It could be overcome by Hyperlaps to head winds, the zeppelin age at an altitude of less than a mile. The Mediterranean course would make a total of 5,273 miles from Friedrichshafen to New York. At her best estimated cruising speed 68 miles an hour, without assistance for roads, it would take the zeppelin about 77 hours to complete the trip. She would reach New York at about 7 a.m. Monday.
