Drying Up the. Mayor
Asking Congress- to Waste
Some Precious Time

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels may
have his shortcomings, as newspaper
(mostly anti-admnistrationl claim he
has, but he is on the job 70 the extent
that he appreciates the value 90 the
country of sober fighting men,.
Consequently he has appeared before
congress and offered bill that he'comts
upon to keep down drunkenness among
the fighters in the navy.
If a member Of the navy is incapac--
tated by injuries received thru the use
of drugs or alcoholic liquors, the score
tary Of the navy wants him deprived Of
his pay.
The wisdom of this move is apparent.
It's benefits and the greater benefits %
be derived from il If it were made To n-
clude the members of the army. are easy
to count upon.
The drug situation is pretty well taken
care of and will not cause Secretary Dan
iels much trouble.
The Harrison law has proven most et-
fective against the use of drugs for the
reason that it is against the law to sell
drugs to the users of drugs
If it were illegal to sell whisky and
beer to the drinkers of whisky and beer.
there would be great load lifted inn
mediately from the shoulders of those
who will be held responsible for the
moral and physical fitness Of the soldiers
and sailors in the war.
1t would be just as easy-rather, it
ought to be just as easy-for congress
to dry up the nation as il would be for
congress to dry up the navy.

vote booze out of the navy as it would
to give the country prohibition against
the manufacture and sale Of the stuff
that means disordered systemsy bloated

Until children are warped and twisted

indirection about them. They go straight

They see things that puzzle them and
they ask direct questions. They always
drive right TO the point
