she drew a grave with some flowers

her OF very sad things" "Oh WELL"

YOU DIPSOMANIAC! 10 TO THE
BON-BON FOR YOUR NIP OF BOOZE

Last year the people of these United
States ate 1000, 900 tons of candy. For
which there was paid. something like
$500. 900, 900. And science. wondering at
1T all, looked into the matter and dis
covered a thing or two.
For instance: Chemically, sugar and
alcohol are Very much the same and
their action phy~siologically is similar.
Without tormenting the reader with
an intricate and wearysome explana-
ton. it would be we'll to point out that
the only real difference, scientifically,
between sugar and alcohol Is that the
former has a larger and more COM
pick molecule. This already throws
quite a little light on the discussion.
Another thing. Alcohol is a normal
CONSTITUENT of all living matter. Small
quantities of alcohol will be found in
the cells n tissues of the most ardent
teetotaler. A disagreeable bit of in
~teltigence to those who are strongly
anti-rum. but zone the less true. And
everyone has, II has to have, small
parts OF alcohol in them Just as we

IS REAL AUTHOR OF
new CURRENCY BILL
Noted Financial Writer Consulted by
President and Legislators and Has
Prepared Arguments for
Thorn.

Washington. Special: Who really
wrote the administration currency bill?
h question is one which has been
asked more or less in the current dis
cussion of he subject in the House
and 1t has also been frequently raised
In other quarters.
For instance, Congressman Mondell.
Of Wyoming, in a recent speech on the
currency bill in the House, a speech
In which he commended some features
OF the measure and criticised others,
saidx
the democratic caucus certain GENTLE
men have been making themselves dis
agreeable by asking, Who wrote the
Glass bill? So far as I am informed
these inquiring gentlemen have re-
ceived no satisfactory answer No
doubt this important and interesting
question will float down the ages un-
answered along with the riddle of the
Sphinx and h query. 'Whot hit Billy
Patterson?'
The bill Is variously known as the
Glass-Owen bill, the administration
bill. the democratic currency bill and
sc on. And 1t Is true there has been.
a good deal of mystery made OF Who
wrote It and a great deal of misappre-
hension IN various quarters.
Written by Willis.
However, 1t is not such a mystery
after all. A IS matter of fact, the man
who, more nearly han any other, wrote
the bill, is one who for years was a
well known member of the corps OF
newspaper Observation-Disclosures, Profess
Ssor he. Parker Willis.
III the bill becomes a law In substan-
italy its present form, as 1t evidently
will, and IL 1t works satisfactorily. the
credit Will be due ir great measure to

Impossible in view OF the clashing of
views, in the House banking and cur
rency committee, in the House caucus,
in administration quarters and else
where.
However, this does not obviate he
fact that when the legislation is enact
ed-and surprising it to pass in about
the form it now hast will be basil
cally the work of Mr.. Willis. 1t is not
often that the opportunity is given to
any man to take such a part in the
shaping of a great. statute. Chairman
Glass of the House committee on bank
Ing, as well as the democratic members
OF n a committee, have at all times
the aid of his expert advice and his
long study Of financial matters. He has
been more or less consulted by the
president n much of the matter
which has been worked out in upport
OF the bill as a working measure has
been prepared by him.

new SENSE Of POWER
SORELY TEMPTS MOTORISTS

mobile authority, says the reason
the new motorist is a noise maker
is because he is unacustomed to
having speed and noise power at
his fingers ends.
Whenever the question of un-
necessary noise 80 far as automobile
horns and other types of warning
signals are concerned, comes up in
a community, about the first thing
the Investigator discovers is, that
the person who has just become a
motorist is usually inclined to vio-
late both the speed and noise ethics.
Mr.. Roy F. Britton of st. Louis.
in speaking of this very matter the
other day, said: 1.-The man we have
most trouble with is the one who
has just learned to drive a motor
car. He revels in two facts. sense
of possession and sense of power.
1t fairly thrills him to feel that he
has at has fingers ends the ability
to drive his machine at break-neck
speed. and to make people realize
by the steady blowing of his cleo
tric horn that he is approaching.
81 do not think that any one can
realize This, the extent of this
temptation. who has not driven a
motor car. Older motorists are
not altogether free from yielding
to the temptation. The result is
that the right sort of legislation
such as we have here, restricting
the use Uf the warning signal to an
abrupt suund, sufficiently loud to
be heard above the noise of the
traffic is an absolute necessity. And
the furtner provision that a warn
ing signal be only used as a warn
ing of real danger existing, brings
about the most desirable results"
