LIBRARY NOTES

The books to be shipped to the
soldiers will be prepared and sent be-
I fore the end of January. There are
about one hundred and fifty on hand
now. If you care to swell the num-,
ber bring them to the library before.
Tuesday, Jan. 28th. And don't for
get to keep sending your magazines
with a one cent stamp on each.
Books added to the library this
week include:
Snaith. The Time Spirit: an Eng
lish story which is a satire on the
English caste system, showing the
true onbility of character in contrast
to the mobility" which is inherited
with the family name. Democracy
finds it's way into fiction these days.
Kyne. The Valley of the Giants.
A story of the California redwoods by
the author of "Cappy Ricks."
For grown-ups as we'll as boys
"Heroes of Aviation" will be in
tensely interesting reading. Laurence
l.. briggs whose aviation stories
have been running in the "Outlook"
has gathered together here the ex-
ploits of the famous air-men. They
are sober truth but they sound like
stories from the Arbian Nights.
For the smaller folk "The French
Twins" will be welcome addition.

GOING TO Wed? SURE!
"Gobs" Merely Waiting to Be
Mustered Out.
Tired Of Being Single and Now Want
to Marry and Settle
Down.

Quantico, Va.-American maidens
who have been worrying whether your
marines would pop the question when
they come home, stand "at ease"
A canvass Of marine barracks here
at Quantico, where 10000 men have
been waiting their chance at the Hun,
made by a reporter for Leatherneck,
the camp paper, shows that 80 per
cent of the single men intend marry
ing when they are discharged. How's
that for good news?
"We're tired of being single. We
want to marry and settle down." Is
the consensus Of the replies.
These marines, many Of whom will
be discharged when the president de-
clares the national emergency no long
er exists, are fitting themselves for
good jobs that will permit them to
wed. Evening business classes are be-
ing held at the Y. NJ. G. A., and ex-
perts are explaining everything from
bookkeeping and shorthand to soil
cultivation and dairying.
The training the men have under
gone admirably fits them for mar
riage. There isn't a marine in the
service who doesn't claim to he able
to wash his clothes winter than any
woman can ever get them. Every man
can mend and press his own clothes.
And as far as being "handy about the
house." why, most Of them can open
q can of tomatoes with a tOothpick
and drive nail with feather
duster.

The United States of America has
entered upon the tremendous social ex-
pertinent of national prohibition of
the manufacture, sale and use of alco-
holic drinks. There will be abundant
time to give the experiment fair test
since the prohibition is by constitu-
tional amendment. To all appearances
this mandate by the American people
against the use Of alcohol is intended
to be absolute and final. We have
written it into organic law-into mag
ma charta-in the form of the eight
eenth amendment to the Constitution
of the United States.
The experiment is tremendous de-
parture from previous tendencies of
the American people. We are an indi-
vidualistic people, with strong sense
Of personal liberty. Yet here we have
set out to regulate personal habit, not
by statute but by constitutional
amendment.
And the manner of the passing of
this constitutional amendment is quite
as remarkable as the amendment itself.
Action on the seventeen previous
amendments to the Constitution has
taken between nine months and forty
three months, an average Of about two
years. The resolution providing for
this eighteenth amendment was passed
by congress December II, 1917. On
January 1C, 1919 it's ratification by
the states is accomplished.
What has brought about this ratifi-
cation so quickly? obviously the Ma
tiOnal Prohibition party has had prac-
tically nothing to do with its accom-
pliShment. The answer evidently is
that the war has brought it about.
Prohibition is both an economic ques-
ton and moral question. The war
set the American people to looking at
prohibition from both viewpoints. We
got accustomed to the thought that
grain was better eaten as food than
swallowed as liquor. inasmuch as we
were told that food would win the

special wartime prohibition recently
enacted by congress goes into effect
That law prevents the manufacture
and sale Of intoxicants for beverage
purposes and remains in force unit
the rehabilitation Of the nations wal
armies is completed. Doubtless that
emergency wartime measure will be
effective over the several months that
VIII elapse after July 1 until the con-
sttutional bone dry act, now adopted
becomes effective.
Additional Dry Legislation.
During the year following ratifica-
ton congress and the several states
will be called upon to pass legislation
to enforce the amendment and to pro-
vide penalties for violations. It is
probable a large force of agents un-
der the direction Of the commissioner
of internal revenue will have to be ap-
pointed to enforce the law. Each state
will have to provide machinery for
the enforcement of the law in addi.
ton to the machinery provided by the
federal government.
1t is likely this additional legislation
will be pushed through as fast as the
drys can push it. In some parts of
the country at least they purpose to
take full advantage Of their victory.
For example, in Illinois a forecast
Of the Anti-Saloon league is this: In
addition to the search and seizure
act" an act rigidly restricting the han
ding of liquor for medicinal, manu-
featuring, sacramental and scientific
purposes; legislation covering doctors
prescriptions, which must be issued
by a bona tide physician in writing
dated, diagnosing the illness and the
pHrpose of it's use; all railroad rec.
'ords of liquor shipments must be
kept; drastic legislation regulating
sale by druggists, with heavy penalty
for violation.
The drys presumably will not con.
fine their efforts to enforcing the law.
They will doubtless take the uuestio,
into politics of all kinds and make IT
an issue. They announce, for instance
in Chicago that they will ask all can.
didates for mayor to declare them.
selves on the strict enforcement OF
dry legislation. They will make it an
issue in the spring campaign and will
oppose any aldermanic candidate who
does not toe the mark.

Some Of our allies got into the war

WOODWARD FIGHTS
GNORDERED SUITS
Former State Senator In
structs Attorney to Probe Ac-
tion by Two Lawyers
DEFENDANT DENIES CASES

DR.. George Woodward, state senator
and physician, has turned over to his
lawyer, George Wharton Pepper, for
investigation report regarding suit
for $4,000 damages, instituted against
him. The suit was dropped yesterday
upon information that it had been
brought without knowledge or consent
OF the injured person, alleged to be the
plaintiff.
Doctor Woodward has prepared an
other report regarding n letter received
from another attorney. The letter
stated that this lawyer represented the
same injured person. No papers have
yet been served on Doctor Woodward in
the second suit, though a summons was
obtained November IS.
Both cases are believed by Doctor
woodward to be the outcome of a prac-
tice of lawyers agents visiting accident
victims in hospitals after they are taken
there, and persuading them to engage
attorneys to represent them, in many
cases before they are able to think co :
herently.
The plaintiff in the $4,000 damage
suit dropped yesterday by the attorney
IN charge of it is Robert Lewis, 1912
Shaekamaxon street. Lewis suff red a
fractured leg, November ., when he
was struck by an automobile driven by
Doctor Woodward's son. lie was taken
to the Jefferson Hospital where he
now is.
Monday Doctor Woodward received a
summons from Hugh Roberts, a lawyer
htsf1 =,
court to answer damage suit for $40, -
600, filed by Lewis. The senator says
he visited Lewis and was told he had
hired no attorney and had not author
lied any suit. Lewis made an affidavit
to this effect.
Lewis said he was driven almost
crazy by persons who visited him. try
Ing to persuade him to give them power
of attorney, while he was in great pain
and hardly knew what he was doing"
said Doctor Woodward.
The injured man told Doctor Wood =
ward that n man named Il. +. Riley
had visited him, ''held his hand on a
pen" and signed a paper. This paper
proved to be power of attorney.
Riley has desk in Mr.. Roberts
Office. When questioned about the case,
Roberts announced that il the afiida =
Wit made by Lewis, stating that he had
hired no attorney, was true, he would
not handle the case. An hour later
Doctor Woodward received letter con
tanning an order of discontinuance and
offering to pay the costs of discontin-
uancy.
Today Doctor Woodward said that
November II Henry j. Scott. a lawyer
in the Penn Square Building. had sent
him letter stating that he represent

matter to the limit.
ut certainly is strange that man
in a normal state of mind would hire
two lawyers separately to represent
him" said Doctor Woodward today.
