Battle for Prohibition.

Hard drinking In England came to
be regarded as a grave national dan
ger. In 1875 London grand jury held
the traffic responsible for a great
crime wave, and regulation Of the
liquor business by law was instituted.
Similar experiments were in the mean
time being made in America
The battle in this country against
use and abuse Of liquor began in a
mild way as protest in pulptts
against drunkenness. A New England
society went so far as to bind it's mem
bers moi to get drunk except on the
Fourth Of July nnd general training
days.
Advocates Of moderation gave way
to those who felt that only total alb
stinence was the remedy. Then the
battle began.

WHAT MIRO READ AT SCHOOL
Youngsters Initiation Into Culture
Was Made "AImost Re-
Iioious Mystery"

At school Miro was early impressed
with the vast dignity Of the literary
works and names he was compelled to
learn. Shakespeare and Goethe and
Dante lifted their plaster heads frown-
ingly above the teachers as they perch
ed on shelves about the room. Much
was said of the greatness of literature.
But the art Of phonetics and the COM
plications Of grammar swamped Miro's
early school years It was not until he
reached the high school that literature
began really to assume that sacredness
which he had heretofore felt only for
holy Scripture, Randolph Bourne writes
in Yale Review. His initiation into
culture was made almost religious
mystery by the conscientious and
harassed teacher AS the 'DeadwOOd
Boys" and David Harum" slipped
away from Miro's soul in the presence
Of Milton's "Comus," and Burke 'On
Cancellation" cultural devoutness
was cngendered in him that never
really died. At first 1t did not take
Miro beyond the stage where your
conscience is strong enough to make
you uncomfortable, but not strong
enough to make you do anything about
1t. Mira did not actually become an
omnivorous reader Of great books. But
he was filled with rich grief that the
millions pursued cheap and vulgar f1c-
ton instead of the best that has been
thought and said in the world. Miro
Unfortunately bought cheap editions
Of the English classics and read them
with a certain patient Incompetence
ingness.

sHoFAR IN HEBREW RITUAL
Wood instrument Dates Back to the
Very Earliest Youth Of the
World.

Hebrew historians, with q special
eye Cor earl to the racial history, are
very proud Of their shofar. They say
1t Is the oldest form of wood wind in.
strument in the world, that 1t was
used In the original Mosaic ritual.
1t Is the one musical instrument, says
DR.. Cyrus Adler which has been pre-
served unbrokenly in that ritual
There is even theory, voiced BY
Professor Steinthal, that the shOfar
antedates the people of Israel. He
says 1t probably goes back to prehis-
toric times. And another investiga-
tor points out that 1t obviously came
hrst from folk solely dependent on
the growing Of sheep.
This ancient rams horn instrument
was perhaps earliest used for the sig
mails Of alarm which were so neces-
sarily common in primitive society.
The Israelites then adapted it to their
religious services, and with such fit
ting effect that it has persisted
uniquely since the beginning.
But the Talmud indicates that, even
among the Hebrews, the shOfar was
also developed into horn for CIV
ing alarms. Fundamentally these
alarms would be incidental to war.
Afterward, though, the instrument was
blown in other seasons Of danger or
distress. 1t warned of famine or of q
plague Of locusts or of drought. And
1t was employed in the public serv-
ice Of accommodation.
The children Of Israel had other
horns which were used for musical
and ritualistic purposes, but this is
the only one which has survived.

Anaconda, Aug. l6.--At the regu-

Saturday evening, the strike stu
alton was reported as being very
satisfactory by the general strike
