Beer and Wine Law
Will Halt National
Strike, Bohn Says
Federated Union Secretary
Declares Pending Legisla-
ton Will Be Acceptable to
''No Beer, No Work. Men

According to Ernest Bohm, secretary
of the Central Federated Union of this
city, if the proposed legislation permit
ting the manufacture of light wines and
beer is enacted by the Legislature in
Albany, there will be no danger of a
general strike against prohibition on
July ].
"The proposed legislation is abso-
rlutely right" said Mr.. Bohm yesterday
"and labor will be content if prohib-
ton is 80 interpreted that the manu-
facture and sale of light wines and
beer are permitted"
Mr. Bohm said that the results of tie
two-week period in which the unions of
greater New York were voting on the
question of general strike acainst
prohibition would be made known at
the next meeting of the Central Fed
Grated Union on Friday night.
Asked about District Council No. |
of the PAYERS and Rammermen, who
had voted "No Beer, No Work." Mr.
Bohm said he interpreted that vote as
vote to go on strike even though in
the report to the Central Federated
Union the work strike was not men
toned.
Those men. 5000 of them, will GER
talnly go on strike if bone dry prohibi
ton goes in effect on July L." he said
NEWARK, N. j., Feb. 15.-Ironwork-
ers' Union, Local Ill, notified the

Beer, No Work" slogan was unani-
mously Endorsed last night at meeting

I'VE will strike if they take the bee,
away from US, and we want the world
to know it, declared Timothy Tierney
business agent, at the meeting. "We
are not 'rummies,' or beer hounds OF
anything of the sort, and none of us is
intoxicated"
There are no l. w. W.'s among us

We are 100 per cent American. If we
strike we will not turn the country up

a dozen states. AS a result of these
studies made by highly trained physi-
clans remarkable improvements have
been brought about. In South Caro-
lima, as 81 result of survey made
within q period of one month, the state
Legislature appropriated more than
100000 for the remodelling of q state

of so-calle1 insanity laws. Similar re-
suits have been attained in other
states.

visory committee of the National Com

DR.. Glueck, the first comprehensive
ones ever made' in connection with a
prison, have revealed the fact that
about two-thirds of all of the inmates
of Sing Sing Prison are mental de-
hcients or mental disordered. In other
words, the problem of crime cannot be
solved successfully until the mental
factors involved are given due con-
sidoration.
Studies conducted in connection with
the Children's Court of New York City
indicate that high percentage of the
children brought before the court are
mentally deficient or of psychopathic
makeup.
members of this group, unless prop
erly supervised are sure to find their
way into prison little later in life
These studies indicate that the sou-
tion of the problems of crime and de
linquency especially Juvenile delin-
quency, should be attacked earlier;
that is, all school children should be
examined mentally and those found to
be mentally deficient or potentially or
actually neurotic or psychotic should
be so superv Used and advised as to pre-
vent their appearing later in children's s
courts or in prisons.

FEW OWE FAILURE TO FATE
Man Who Has "Lost Out" Generally Unjust in Blaming the Fact on
 Circumstances.

"He who is bitter is beaten. This Is server of his kind, writer in Philadel- phia Ledger remarks.
 Often one meets the man who has become soured by his own life through bis own fault-thOugh he blames it all on the chances and circumstances of destiny.
 He will not admit that the hand of bad habit dragged him down or kept him from rising; that he made a misstep or took the wrong turn of the road
 He prefers to charge impersOnaI fate with his personal failure.
 But he had the same right to strug, gle and win that we all have The man whom he regards with envy had to prove that the stuff was in him, against odds.
 The old proverb says that fortune favOrs the brave-but that saying really means that fortune plays no fla vorites and cOnfers her gifts only upon those who fight. and fight hard.
 Success is not hereditary. We must qualify on our own merit. Any fool can inherit money and be parted from it quickly. The respect of the com munity, which is life's chief reward goes to him who earns it on his own account In that continuing effort the fragrant memory of a noble family tra- ditiOn and piOus and honest par entace is valuable asset and q great inspiration.

in his mind. Uncle George was 6 bachelor, and probably would never marry; sydney and Amelia were rhild- less. The Majors only IrandchiId up- po;trrd tC remain the eventual heir of the entire property, no matter if the Major did turn over to Sydney q third of 1t now. "WcII, l suppose it's grand fathers own utfHr. He can do 1t or not, just u+ he likes. l don't see why he'd mind much"
 "IIe seemed rather confused and pained about it," Isabel said. T think they Oughtn't to urge it.

I'm on Georges side. whether he's right or wrong; 1 always was from the time we were children t; and Sydney and Amelia are hurt with me about it. I'm afraid. They've stopped speaking to George entirely. Poor father! Family rows at his time of life"
 An hour after lunch, George strOlled over to his grandfathers, intending to apply for further information, as a party rightfully interested.
 He did not carry out this intention, however. Going into the big house by a side entrance, he was informed that the Major was upstairs in his bedroom, that his sons Sydney and George were both with him, and that a serious argument was in progress.
 George went to the foot of the great stairway. He could hear angry voices OVerhead-those of his two uncles- and a plaintive murmur, as if the Major tried to keep the peace.
 Such sounds were far from encour- aging to callers, and George decided not to go upstairs until this interview

was over. He turned from the stair way, and going quietly into the library, picked up a magazine-but he did not open it, for his attention was instant ly arrested by his Aunt Amelia's voice, speaking in the next room. The door was open and George heard her dis tinctly.
 Isabel does? Isabel!" she exclaimed, her tone high and shrewish. You needn't tell me anything about Isabel Minafer, I guess, my dear old Frank Bronson! I know her a little better than you do, don't you think?"
 George heard the voice of MT. Bron- son replying-a voice familiar to him as that of his grandfather's attorney in-chief and chief intimate as well. He was contemporary of the Major's be- ing over seventy, and they had been through three years of the war In the same regiment.
 II doubt your knowing Isabel" he said stiff1y. You speak of her as you do because she sides with her brother George, instead of with you and Syd- ney."

Leadership Qualities.

The challenge of leadership must be the inner spontaneous response to an outer opportunity or 1t will never last over night.
 Success artists are flooding the world with ready-made recipes for how to win. They forget that you can't put vision where there is no inclina- ton to vision. And where there Is no vision failure is bound to result That's why it is that so many people never get beyond the point of work ing for the other man. They are just slaves of today. They fear responsi- hility. Loads that bring joy to the heart of the real man crush them. But where men see the possibilities there is no limit to what they may accomplish. At bottom a man must have in him something of the soul that appeals and feel the self-mastery that urges him to attempt what others have failed in. It may seem a common thing, but it's one of the assets of sue cess.

 ''He won't go."

 ''She lOOks-pretty :" said Isabel. T suppose she wrote you they've moved?"
 Yes; I've got her address. She said they were building"
 "They did. It's all finished, and they've been in it month It's small, but oh, such a pretty little house!"
 "Well, that's fortunate," George said. "One thing I've always felt they didn't know a great deal about is ar chitecture."

CHAPTER X.

That night George began a jubtlant warfare upon his Aunt Fanny, open ing the campaign upon his return home at about eleven o'clock. Fanny had retired, and was presumably | asleep, but George, on the way to his own room, paused before her door, and serenaded her in a full baritone : "As I walk along the Boy de Balong With my independent air, The people all declare He must be a millionaire" Oh, you hear them sigh, and wish to die, And them wink the other eye At the man that broke the bank at Monte CarIoH'
 After breakfasting in bed, George spent the next morning at his grand fathers and did not encounter his Aunt Fanny until lunch, when she seemed to be ready for him.
 "Thank you so much for the sere- made, GeOrge!" she said. Your poor father tells me he'd just got to sleep for the first time in two nights, but after your kind attentions he lay awake the rest of last night"
 "Perfectly true" MT. Minafer said grimly.
 "Of course, I didn't know, sir,'' George hastened to assure him. "Pm awfuIly sorry. But Aunt Fanny was so gloomy and excited before I went out, last evening, I thought she needed cheering up."
 He turned to his mother. "What's the matter with grandfather"
 "Didn't you see him this morning?' Isabel asked.
 "Yes. He was glad to see me, and all that, but he seemed pretty fidgety. Has he been having trouble with his heart again?"
 Not lately. No"
 "Well, he's not himself. Whats he upset Over?"
 Isabel looked serious; however, it was her husband who suggested gloom fly, 'T suppose the Majors bothered about this Sydney and Amelia busi- ness, most likely.
 "What Sydney and Amelia busi- nesS?" George asked.
 Your mother can tell you, if she wants to-" Minafer said. Its not my side of the family, so I keep off,
 
 us, GeOrgie," Isabel began. You see, your Uncle Sydney wanted a diplO- matic position, and he thought Brother George, being in congress, could ar range it. George did get him the offer of a South American ministry. but Sydney wanted a European ambassa- dorship, and he got quite indignant with poor George for thinking he'd take anything smaller-and he be- lieves George didn't work hard enough for him. George had done his best, of course, and now he's out of congress, and won't run again-sO there's Syd- ney's idea of a big diplomatic position gone for good. Well, Sydney and your Aunt Amelia are terribly disappoint- ed, and they say they've been thinking for years that this town isn't really fit to live in-'for a gentleman Sydney says-and it is getting rather big and dirty. So they've sold their house and decided to go abroad to live perma- nently; there's a villa near Florence they've often talked of buying. And they want father to let them have their share of the estate now, instead of waiting for him to leave 1t to them in his will"
 Well suppose that's fair enough" George said. That is, in case he in- tended to leave them a certain amount in his will.'
 "Of course that's understood Georgie. Father explained his will to us long ago; a third to them, and a third to Brother George, and a third to us"
 Her son made a simple calculation
