PROHIBITION BAD SAYS TAFT.
EXPIRES. Calls Plan Dangerous and
Says 1t Can't Be Enforced.

DAYS 1t Can't Be Enforced.
Boston.-'National prohibition is a
dangerous proposition" said former
President William H. Taft, speaking
before the bar association of Boston
at its seventeenth triennial banquet
Monday night.
1t would revolutionize the national
government. 1t would put on the
shoulders of the government the duty
OF sweeping the doorsteps of every
home in the land. If national prohibit
ton legislation is passed local govern
ment would be destroyed. And If you
destroy local government you destroy
one of the things that go to make for
a healthy condition of the national
government.
National prohibition is nonenforce-
able; it is a confession on the part of
state governments of inability to con-
troll and regulate their own especial
business and Quay; if the matter were
placed under fedora lcontrol it would
result in creation of a machinery of
government officials large enough to
any president and would
offer too great an opportunity to per-
sons seeking to p~erpetuate their pow
er in Washington"

The latest thing in show windows
is making its appearance in New
York and other large eastern cities. It
is a disappearing, "quick-change"
proposition, the windows being built
to drop into the basement whenever a
new trim is to be installed. The floor
of the show window is double, the up
per floor being supported by casters
resting on the lower floor. Thus when
the window is dropped into the base.
ment the display can be wheeled off
and a new one wheeled on at once.
An elevator then raises the floor to
the street level. This system makes
a quick change possible at any time
and permits the trimmers to work at
their convenience in the daytime and
take all the time necessary to obtain
desired artistic effects.

A double meaning might we'll be
gained from the procurement: "It
is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive," for, aside from the inward sat
isfaction, the broadening influence
that is exercised where the purse
strings are cheerfully opened for the
relief of distress, the object of char
ity is pitiable, indeed, in that he has
suffered the loss of self reliance, as
well as of the means Of subsistence.
When you help an individual, help
him, If possible, to help himself. Civ
ing a man or woman the opportunity

ters to their self-respect, as well as

AUTOMOBILE NEW TO WARFARE
Armored Motor Car Proves Extremely
Useful,

Armored Motor Car Proves Extremely
Useful.
Although an engine new to warfare,
the armored motor car has proved ex
tremely useful, especially for outpost
and scouting duty. Fast, silent and
mobile, it cover a vast amount of
ground on the splendid roads that
crisscross the field of war in western
Europe. Most of the ears are incased
in a light frame of tough steel plate
that ranges in thickness from three
s~ixteenths of an inch to a quarter of
an inch, and that is impervious to rifle
and machine gun fire. All the vulner-
able parts of the motor such as the
radiator and steering gear, and in
some of the newest cars the wheels,
are protected by the steel covering.
The wheels, both wood and wire, are
said to Withstand the toughest sort of
usage. Accidents to the tires are
much less common than any n
would expect. The cars carry a light
armament-one or two machine gun
so mounted that they can be swung
through a complete circle-and a large
supply of ammunition. The crew.
which may number from four to eight
or more men, are armed with rifles
and revolvers. Some of the cars have
a steel superstructure that rises from
the chassis frame high enough to en-.
able the to stand upright, and
that is capped with a domed roof, from
which bullets andshrapnel usually fly
off at a sharp angle without even dent
ing the steel.-Youth's Companion.
