I became, at 83 years of age, a total abstainer." Celler Prefers Younjt to Old Solomon In regard to Dr. Eliot's drlnklns and his abstention therefrom at 83, the local representative says: "I do not think lt unreasonable to infer that your mild drinking has not Interfered with your continued good health and many wonderful years of public service. It has not shortened your life. It may have played an important part in length-ening It." Citing the case of Solomon, who In his youth indulged freely In liquor, but in his old age declared: "Wine Is a mocker," Representative Celler says: 'I somehow prefer the youthful Solomon of the 'Bong of Songs' to the Solomon who wrote the crochety old Proverbs when the shadows of his life were lengthening."

901 Colorado Building. Washington, May 21 Correspond ence between Dr. Charles W. Eliot of Harvard University and Congressman Emanuel Celler, made public today at the boro representative's office, discloses the fact that the college president, by his own word, took a drink now and then until 1917, when be became a total abstainer. Dr.

Eliot writes that "an old man loses nothing and gains something by abandoning completely the use of Intoxicating drinks." This correspondence ts part of a discussion between the two on the worth of national prohibition. A week ago Celler wrote Dr. Eliot that his views In favor of national prohibition did not square with his views In 1897, when, as a member of thei Committee of Fifty, he had found that prohibitory legislation was in effective and fraught with evils. Dr. Eliot, In his letter to Celler, offers "cecialn explanations of my change of view, with regard to the expediency of prohibitory legisla tion." Dr.

Eliot Cites Maine. He writes that he used to spend hjs summers at a Maine coast resort when that State was supposedly dry. "I learned," he writes, "that the Maine Prohibition law could not be enforced as long as the neighboring States had no prohibitory laws." He then tells of his experiences at Cambridge, where there was local option and no saloons. "In the cour.io of some 80 years' observation I became thoroughly satisfied that the local option method afforded no real protection; that prohibitory legislation, to bo effective, must be nationwide, and that only national authority could really prevent both the manufactuie and the transportation of Intoxicating drinks." "Personally," he writes, I had made no habitual use of any Intoxicating drink, I continued to PARK FETE POSTPONED Owing to the threatening- weather, the Park Fete of the Girls Branch of the Public 8chool AtMetis League, to have been held on Prospect Park Long Meadow yesterday afternoon, was postponed until tomorrow afternoon at the same clace at 2 p.m. More than 9,000 boro school laales are hoping for a benevolent smile from Old Sol for their games, songs and dances.

the survival of the white race and the white civilization depends upon the enforcement of the prohibitory legislation, said Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, in a letter to Prof. Edwin Knox Mitchell received here yesterday. Dr.

Eliot says In part: "What happened or did not happen to the Christian race before cheap alcohol came Into existence ought not to affect at all the present conduct oi. the American people toward alcoholism. Since New England rum was Invented in the 17th century and very cheap whisky in the 19th. the effects of alcohol on the public health and well-being have changed so completely that the former experiences of the white race with alcohol have no bearing on the urgent question of right or wrong dealing with the prohibitory laws of today." POSTAL WORKERS' PAY BILL LIKELY TO PASS THE HOUSE May Be Lost in Senate Jam. Faces Veto Should It Reach President.

Eagle Bureau. 901 Colorado Building. Washington, May 21 With the disposal of the McNary-Haugen farm relief measure early next week, the House will turn its attention to the bill providing for an increase in wages for all postofflce workers. Despite the objection of leaders, who have been anxious to hold this oil! up during this session, it has a powerful backing among both parties In the House, and Its passage there is virtually assured. When it gets to the SeniHc, however, it will be probably lost In the legislative 1am.

Even if passed by Congress now, the expectation Is that the President would veto It. The bill would affect some 300.000 postal workers, from the lowest grade to the highest. The last increase was given in 1920. At the beginning of the session a number of postal wage Increase bills were offered, notably the Kelly-Edge measure. The committee, after extended hearings, drafted its own bill, the cost of which Is rated at a year in excess of present wage expenses.

This committee hill does not take up the question of raising the revenue to meet this new demand upon the Treasury, and it Is upon this point that the measure Is chiefly attacked. The suggestion of increased postal rates has been made. The stumbling block here, though, ts that the Postofflce Department Is now conducting a survey into the cost of Its various classes of mall, and Is in no position to make changes in rates until this data is completed. Therefore the House committee recommends that the workers' salaries b. raised at once and the question of new rates and revenues be left for another time.
