record Of arrests for intoxication has been
decidedly good for the week, there having

selves. And as long as some men, by
their actions, show that they think the
new law gives them freedom to do that,
they should be warned to the contrary,
and the most efiicacions method Of doing It
is by making arrests Of any and all offend
ers. License does not mean liberty to get

The young woman of today may not

expected that the training. experience

all that conditions the success of her
