FRANCE WELCOMES
AID OF PROHIBITION

New York, August 22.-America's
Plan to help France in her efforts to
prohibit the manufacture and sale OF
all spirituous liquors is noble one,
and should be begun as soon as pos
sible, in the opinion Of Jean LIE Tort,
sf Paris; who, as representative OF
the French government and delegate
81 the French national league against
alcohol. addressed the nineteenth an
nual convention of the Antt-Saloon
League.
Il am a barrister before the high
courts OF France, so I know perfectly
we'll what alcoholism means because
am indebted to it. great part or
the criminals being my clients" said
MIR. LIE Tort, who. because OF his
many lectures ana articles written
about liquor problems is known as a
water maniac" in the French papers.
Think about the eight-hour work
day that we are now Introducing, ne
said. The extra hours given TO the
" orkers must not be for the saloon!
France is ready to use all her spirits
production as fuel. Propaganda will
he easy in that matter. The Labor
rarity and the employers are IN the
hest way to catch now the economic
side of the liquor question. could
read petition signed by ffty-nve Of
the biggest employers union OF
France--I mean iron works. coal
mines. building enterprises and ma
chines--asking the government for
drastic measures.
Mr.. LIE Tort explained that his
presence in the United States did not
mean that the French government or
his league was In favor OF total pro-
hibition, but simply of the elimina-
ton OF spirits. At present. they arc
not in favor Of the prohibition OF beer
and light wines, because OF the album
dance OF vineyards in France. The
real purpose Of his visit to the United
States lis to study the reforms here
and TO tell the conditions in France
ard the way In which. since the war,
they have been improved.

training crtpples to use artificial limbs.
comes the news that In the village for
Epileptics at Skiliman, N. j.. a band
OF epileptic patients daily provides
musical entertainment for their hun
dreds o. fellow patients.
So far as Is known, this Is the first
band composed entirely of epileptics.
Every patient in the institution be-
tween the ages of fourteen and
twenty-five. who has a desire to join
the band is given an opportunity to do
so. II he has any knowledge of music
or possesses a talent, special effort Is
made to qualify him for the band AT
the present time, two girls are mem
bers Of the band and several more are
preparing themselves for places in it
The other day, after hearing the
band. physician asked DR.. David F.
Weeks, superintendent OF the State
villege for epileptics. regarding the
therapeutic value Of the band. DR.
Weeks has studied the proctical value
Of music in his institution very care
fully. He says--"Many OF our pa.
tients, who never before read music
or played an instrument OF any kind
are trained to play In the band and
a number OF the patients play several
instruments. 1t is difficult to say
whether the band is enjoyed more by
those who play, or by those who hear
It, 1t is quite certain. though, thai
there Is a good therapeutic effect as
a result both of the musical training
and the good music which the band
provides. l have felt for some time
that the patients derive much menta
comfort from this music"
At four o'clock every afternoon the
band Is assembled for a concert
When the weather permits the band
goes about the grounds playing a.
Different places, so that all the inmates
and employees OF the village have
