NATURE is THE CRIMINAL.
Question is Can Fermentation be Stopped
by Constitutional Amendment.

Now that prohibition has been re-
moved from the realm of dreams and has
become an established fact by fiat of
law it will be interesting to see what
eNpedients will be adopted to enforce it,
says a New Jersey physician in letter
to the New York Sun.
The Anti-Saloon league says that fer
mentation and distillation must stopi
All the legislatures necessary TO back it
up, and more too agree with the league.
Alas! Canute told the wet waves the
same thing. but he had to retire ig-
ANONYMOUSLY in the presence OF all his
courtiers.
Fermentation and distillation are
processes of nature and take place with
little or no assistance from man. 4

INDIANS GREAT LANDOWNERS.
Grazing Privileges Now Leased from
Indians by Cattlemen.

Next to the government, the Indian
is now the greatest landowner of the
cattle ranges. The eattlemen of the
plains, who in the, '70s and SOS wrest
ed the buffalo pastures from the m
dams and cram hundreds of thous-
ands of cattle free as the air. on the
hunting grounds they had appropriated,
now must beg those same Indians for
the right to Craze their cattle, and pay
them well for the privilege. Along in
February and March the grazing leases
are signed up for the year
Outside the. national forests and
school lands, nearly all the grazing
lands now available for the kind of
free ranging of the big cattle days are
on the Indian reservations The In

agree TO pay fixed price per acre, and

WITH THE WOMEN OF TO-DAY

1t was not so very long ago that
every girl who had sung a song or
spoken a piece at a church entertain
ment thought that her life would be
complete II she went on the stage and
made a name for herself And more
recently still the young maids of the
country have turned toward the cam
era and hoped that someday some di-
rector would find in them that perfect
camera face and then they would be-
come the idol of the movie fans"
But 1t would seem that even the pho
toplay Is losing in popularity and an
other more serious field is being enter
ed. Even society women who many
years ago spent all their time trying
to Guido their neighbors in dress, and
lavish display of wealth, and in climb
ing to the pinnacles of the -four hun
dred," even these women are striving
for very different kind Of honor and
position in these days.
The new attraction for women is
Politics. Our little girls of the future
may dream of being president, or
senator just as little boys have al
ways done and they may forget their
dreams of stage and society in the all
absorbing idea of being their city's
mayor.
A Chicago woman has already de-
cided that politics Is more attractive
than the stage just now. Mrs. fetch

politics but Is now chairman OF the

WOMEN KEEP JOBS
The success of women workers as
substitutes for men during the war is
making it more difficult for men to
get obs in peace times. Officials of
the United States employment serv-
ice said recently that while 100000
men. including discharged soldiers,
sailors and marines, are out of work
in New York City, the demand for
women workers is greater than the
supply.
"A woman can get job merely by
qualifying" said Miss Louise Oden-

ce in charge of the women's division:
Reasons assigned for the situation
are:
Employers who placed women in
jobs of men called to war are keeping
the women.
Women have proved competent to
hold mems jobs-as elevator operators
they are more courteous" as bank
clerks more efficient, as chauffeurs
more careful, and as mechanics more
deft.
The clothing trades industries, in
which women are largely employed,
are fourishing; men tailors are scarce.
Hotel mattresses, who took mems
jobs, and conductorettes are being re.
tanned.
Some concerns are replacing women
with men only when the women volun-
tarily quit
