4DRY, HIGHWAYS.

Prohibition territory in Minnesota is
10 be protected from now on by bone
dry" highways. The State Safety
Commission has recently put in effect
an order prohibiting the carrying of
liquor into dry territory in any kind
of vehicle. Heavy penalties are pro-
vided for infractions of this rule, and
peace officers are authorized 10 stop
any automobile or other vehicle on
any highway IN the district affected If
they suspect that intoxicating liquor
is being carried. They may seize and
coanscate the liquor as well as arrest
the violator OF the rule.
This highway order is much like
that prohibiting the railroads from
carrying liquor into dry territory. In
putting the order into operation in his
community the Duluth chief of police
believes that the authorities have al
ready unearthed an underground sys-
TEN of getting liquor into the city.
Duluth has been a prohibition city
since July / last, and is proud of the
good results indicated in police court
records, Humane Society reports, etc.
The dry highway order will enable the
authorities to make Duluth prohibit
ton completely effective, protecting 1t
and other dry communities from the
wet" influences of neighboring towns.

READERS AND BOOKS.


The war has made the library
'browser' nearly extinct. The leis-
urely reader who wanders into the
public library to spend an hour read
ing at random. picking up new books
or idling at the fiction shelves is quite
overshadowed by readers of another
type
Today people know exactly what
they want, and they usually want il in
the shortest time possible AS rule
they are reading for information
rather than for simple delight. This,
of course, means that certain kinds of
books are in greater demand than
others. The current war books are
quite generally read The history Of
other wars has a renewed interest for
readers, and especially wars con-
sciously fought for liberty. There is,
too, a growing interest in constitu-
tional history
People today want to know the de-
velopment of governmental forms. of
great political and moral movements.
They are therefore reading the decla-
rations of great statesmen, famous
speeches and documents that have
marked the political progress of free
peoples
The history of industry and econom-
les attracts more attention than ever
before. Along with this. scientific
books are in great demand. Aviation,
submarine development. electricity,
military tactics. the useful arts and
many other subjects formerly left to
the specialist or student are now COM
monty called for by ordinary readers.
Fiction is still read, of course, al
though there has been a noticeable
falling of in the demand for it.
All this the Librarians consider
fine thing. It indicates a tendency to
more thoughtful reading and indie
pendent thinking. and less indulgence
in idle reading on the part of the pub
lie The browser to whom reading
was a delightful pastime now shares
the books with a host of wide-awake,
thinking people eager to understand
themselves, their government and the
world better.

WIV lo HUI GO oCIFc yOu dIlu you are not his friend unless you are willing to serve him. And out of that impulse of common interest and de- sire of common service arises that noble feeling which we consecrate as friendship.
 And so it does seem to me that the theme that we must have in our minds now is this great day of settlement is the theme of common interest and the determination of what it is that is our common interest. You know that heretofore the world has been gov erned, or at any rate the attempt has been made to govern it. by partner ships of interest, and that they have broken down.
 Interest does not bind men to- gether. Interest separates men. For the moment there is the slightest de- parture from the nice adjustment of interests. then jealousies begin to spring up. There is only one thing that can bind peoples together and that is common devotion to right.
 "Ever since the history of liberty began men have talked about their rights and it has taken several hun dred years to make them perceive that the principal condition of right is duty and that unless a man performs his full duty he is entitled to no right. It lis fine correlation of the influ. ence sof duty that right is the equi- poise and balance of society. 2 4

Harold EdeI in Tabloid

Harold Edel is the manager Of the
Strand Theatre.
He was born of wealthy but honest
parents in Creenville, S. c., twenty
eight years ago.
A few years later he was graduated
from the Georgia University with
honors.
His first entrance into the amuse-
ment world occurred in 1904, when he
took charge of penny arcade in Four
teenth Street.
The arcade belonged to Mitchell II.
Mark, now president of the Mark
Strand Theatre Company, owner of the
Strand Theatre.
Mr. Edcl hasn't changed very much
since that time.
He looks so young that when people
say 81 should like to see Mr.. Edel," and
ne says Yes they say, yes; will
you kindly call him? %
He runs the whole Strand Theatre
all by himself, and arranges the pro-
grammes and selects the pictures and
tells every body else how to DO every
thing, and he is an authority on every
Subject, and yet when you go to see
the show he will look at you patheti-
cally and hungrily and say. "Tell me
truly, how did you like it? Was it
very bad 90 And then hang on your
answer with a most delightful intima-
ton that your opinion matters ter
ribly."
He makes you feel so important
and comfortable and indispensable and
everything.
But, to go back fourteen years, Mr..
Mark remembered the Child Harold Of
penny arcade days, and when he was
old enough (that is, when Mr.. Edel
was old enough he transferred him to
Lawrence, Mass, to take charge of a
glorious "temple of motion pictures"
seating 1875 persons.
In six months this began to look
to the youthful manager like a penny
arcade, and he was transferred again,
this time going to Cleveland and TAX
ing charge Of the Coliseum and Globe
theatres. Here he remained for two
years, and then the new Alhambra The
atre was opened and Mr.. Edel went to
manage that.
This was considered the last word in
motion picture theatres, and it had
pipe organ, an unheardof thing.
, Later Mr.. Edel accepted the posi-
ton of general manager for the Kline
macolor Company of Canada, in which
capacity he presented the Durbar pict-
ures in every theatre, in a manner OF
speaking, from tho Atlantic to the
Pacific.
Still later he was made general man
ager for the Mark Brock Theatrical
Enterprises in Buffalo, andtook charge
of the new Strand Theatre.
History repeats itself, and not long
after this Mr.. Edel became managing

Annette Kcllermann says that it is
more satisfactory to be a perfect
woman than to be a perfect lady. An

furthermore, she is Woodworking, con-
scientious woman who thirsts for knowl-
edge just as though she were not "a

Of course, every one knew that Miss
Kellermann could swim and dive and
describe circles in the water in way
which was not entirely human, but
all did not know that she could dance
on her toes as though she were float

Roshanara and walk a tight rope and
sing 8 song and produce a show, as
well as act in the silent drama.
She appeared at the Palace recent
ly and surprised her audience with all
OF the talents which she had hidden
before.

me- to learn something that people
wanted to see.
Now, as you probably know, toe
dancing is learned in infancy. and I
was no longer an infant when I de-
cided three years ago to become a
toe dancer. Ny feet learned to man

weeks that l could dance on my toes
as well as on the soles OF nv feet.
