THE USES OF LAW.

If all men were perfect there would be no need of laws, everyone might be a law unto himself. He who loves his neighbor as he loves himself, requires no statute to guide his footsteps in the paths of righteousness. License and liberty do not go together. Laws are the bulwarks of liberty. under them men are supposed to have the liberty necessary to human happiness. The purpose of law is to prevent men from doing that and that only that inter- feres with the rights of his fellow man, says Knoxville Journal and Tribune. The opposite of law is anarchy, and anarchy is the deadly foe of all law, divine as we'll as human. Russia is now presenting an example of what anarchy will do for people. If there is a hell on earth, it is found in Russia. Some revelations have been made re- gently by B. E. Simmons, former rep resentative of the American depart ment of commerce in Russia. before senate Investigating committee at Washington too horrible for publica- tion that is read in the American family.

FINDS $2,O0O IN THE ROAD
Indiana Man Proves to Friends He's >- Sane by Producing Wad of
 !Tfi Tens and TWenties.

Hammond, Ind.-Scott Thornton is the luckiest man in Indiana.
 He found bunch of money two weeks ago and advertised that the owner could have it by identifying it.
 His friends denied Scott had found any money. They said he was af- fected by the heat. Nobody in Indiana had lost any money.
 The other day Thornton walked into a newspaper office carrying sack. He pulled out tens and twenties by the handful until he counted $2,OOO.
 He found the money on a road ire quented by autos. It was in blue and white checked bag and several autos had run over it. It may belong to some Chicago tourist.

IS WAR TO BLAME FOR THIS
French Dandies Now Addicted tc Powder Puff and Affect
 Wasp Waists.

Paris.-Wasp waists for men are the thing in Paris this spring. Corsets may or may not be worn, but the coat must make an elegant curve at the waistlipe. A few dandies are sport ing skirt-like flow below the waist, but Andre Le Fouquieres, the Beau Brummel of the town for ten years, declares that the smartest men must discard the skirts and have the bot tom of the coat clinging tightly around the hips
 More startling than the masculine waistline is postwar addiction by dandies to face powder. Many men are now using the powder puff, dab ping themselves quite openly with tan powder, which gives the appearance of trench burn to drawing room habitues.

way the nation has got along and is we'll
started on the road to complete read
justment. So we should not begrudge
him the time spent at the Paris peace
conference, for much of that time was
well spent in trying to bring about the
reconstruction of the world after the
awful cataclysm. In lending his assist
ance in that work Wilson has met with
some rebufis, as we predicted six months
ago that he would, but at the same time
he has been a strong agency toward
maintaining the proper balances among
the allies themselves when there were
influences at work which might have
made the treaty a thing to be regretted
Wilson has aided materially in preventing
the overbalancing of the treaty, however
much he may have failed of some other
purposes while in Paris. So it can be
said that the six months he spent in
Europe have been, on the whole, produc.
tive of some good and that his unprece-
denied stay away from his home duties
has been more than made up for. The
vision which he must have secured there
ought to make him broader president
of the United States.

Ger for district No. 5, which includes

physicians and people of Barre in the in

tory which the district health officer
must cover and the multiplicity of his
duties preclude the possibility of his pay
ing much attention to any particular
section of his district, so that he will be
compelled to fall back on the co-opera-
ton Of the people Of each town to a con
siderable extent. The plans which the
health officer outlined at the meeting of
the Barre city council Monday evening
were entirely reasonable and all are cal
culated to make for the betterment of
the public health. Particular stress was
laid by him on the proposal to clean up
the milk supply, meaning by that not
merely to remove the dirt and other for
elgn substances from the milk but to
eliminate the disease germs insofar as
it is possible. In this purpose he win

supply is to require that all dealers in

a license they must have the 'tests Of

HOW ABOUT HAVING BIRDS
DO FISHING FOR YOU?

Do you like to fish? In Japan
they have the birds do it for them
to a great extent. The custom of
having sea birds catch fish is prac-
ticed widely, particularly on the
Niagara river in the province Of
Dwarf. In some parts of China
birds are used in the same way.
The cormorants work in teams and
once caught and trained will work
well for 20 years. The fishing
always is at night by torch light,
says the American Forestry Maya
zine of Washington, d. G. Cords
are tied around the birds and they
are let over the side of the boat a
dozen at time. The torches at
tract the fish and then the fisher
man is the busiest man in the
world, for he has to work fast.
The average is about $50 fish per
hour per bird They work for
three hours at a time.

An instance of the extreme gener-
osity of the official Handicapped was
seen in the 1,00O-yard handicap run
which Harold Cunningham, of the
Paulist Athletic Club, won by the
margin of fifteen yards. Cunningham
was allotted 55 yards and he led his
opponents a merry chase, to win as he
pleased.
Homer Baker and Jack Sellers toed
the scratch mark behind the field of
eighteen contestants in this event, but
neither was able to do his best under
the existing conditions, with the re-
suit that the spectators saw Sellers
finish in fifth place, only inches in
the van of Baker. Cunningham's time
was minutes 16 As seconds, which
would have therefore compelled either
Baker or Sellers to smash the world
record to win.
Another runaway race was seen in
the one-mile relay, which the Paulist
representatives captured by 10 yards
from the New York Athletic Club
entry. The winged P" members set
the pace from the outset and at one
time held an advantage of 40 yards
over their nearest opponents. How
ever, Pat Feerick and Sellers ran two
creditable quarter miles for the New
York team, which cut down the Paulist
advantage.
Loren Murchison, the national sprint
champion, failed to qualify for the
final heat of the 3OO-yard handicap
run. He finished third in his heat,
after making bold bid in the home
stretch. First prize went to Edward
Berquist, Bronx Church House, who
had start of II yards, and led prac-
tically from the start.
In the closed events Edward Farrell
had field day. He cantered to
easy victories in both the IS and 22O
yard scratch runs, his appearance on
the starting line in the furlong race
frightening away all but five of the
twenty-four starters. Farrell won an
other prize in the running broad jump
and beat Homer Baker on the final leg
of the inter department relay race, to
give first honors to the Robins Dry
Dock office team.
1t was Farrells first athletic effort
in two years, having recently been dis
charged from the navy. His return to
the knights of ST. Antony will add
much strength to the sprinting squad
offthe Greenpoint organization.

Congress May
Shift Dry Issue
Back to Wilson
Resolution Will Be Intro.
duced To-day Declaring
He Has Power to Lift War.
Time Ban, Says C. III. Duell

President Wilson has ample author
ity to modify the wartime prohibi-
ton act to permit the manufacture
and sale Of beer and light wines after
June 80, according to C. H. Duell, jr.,
of the law firm of Duell, Wartield &
Daell. Mr.. Duell, who has been in
vestigating the legal and other aspects
of the question for "McClure's Maga-
zine," says a resolution will be intro
duced in Congress to-day declaring it
to be within the Presidents preroga-
tive to lift the ban
Mr.. Duell yesterday made public a
copy of this proposed resolution, which
quotes the Presidents message of May
20 urging Congress to repeal the ag-
ricultural bill rider making the coun-
try dry from July l until demobiliza-
ton of the army is effected. The pro-
posed resolution refers to the Presi-
dents proclamations removing the
prohibition against the manufacture
of near beer and 2.75 per cent beer
as evidencing his power to still furthA-
annul the provisions of the act
ItSIQCut mas Tile rover
After calling attention to the over
whelming objection on the part of la
Dor and returned soldiers to enforce
ment of the wartime prohibition act,
the resolution asserts that the last
provisions in Section I of the act of
November 21, 1913, provide that moth
ing shall interfere with the power con-
ferred upon the President by the food
control act to permit the manufact-
ure and production of light wines and
beer.
Stripped of its parliamentary verbi-
age, this proposed resolution suggests
that Congress pass the buck" back to
the President on the question of re-
pealing wartime prohibition. Mr..
Duell says as much in his report to
"McClure's."
In furtherance of his commission by
"McClure's" Mr.. Duell visited various
sections of the country to sound out
popular sentiment. His work was fin
ished too late for publication in this
months issue of the magazine, so the
editors gave him permission to make
it public through the newspapers.
Into Hands of Bolshevism
The imminent denial of his glass of
beer to the American workingman, says
Mr.. Duell, "is leading squarely in the
direction of Bolshevism" If the law is
not repealed, he predicts, grave labor
unrest will confront the country, be-
coming more pronounced as the heat of
summer increases" He also comments
on the injustice he declares will be
worked against the poor man, who, un-
like the rich, cannot lay up "large
stores of liquors, in many instances
sufficient to last lfetime'
ITO permit the rich man to have
what the poor man cannot have" says
Mr.. Duell, "is the bitterest sort of class
distinction, and any legislation which
makes this condition possible is class
legislation, and accordingly vicious
such action is playing right into the
hands of Bolshevism."
