Federal Prohibition Commits
sioner Kramer has ruled that
there is nothing in the Prohibition
Amendment or Volstead Act to
prevent the possessor of apples
making cider and allowing it to
harden but when hardened to the
extent of one and one-half per
cent. alcoholic content, it must not
be sold. This rule applies to do
mestic wines, when they are strict
ly home products, but they must
not be sold. Here is where the en-
forcement officers will be kept

Machinery is becoming more and more
automatic. 1t would be useless for me to at
tempt to name the various automatic ma
chimes, but as an illustration, here is the
automatic knitting machine, which, with no
one near, shapes the sock at the heel, substi-
tutes white yarn for blue, which it does
again to the toe, narrows it off, cuts the
white yarn, lays down the sock, and begins
another with blue yarn, completing pair
in ten minutes. One boy keeps twenty ma
chimes oiled and supplied with yarn, and
these twenty machines produce over 1000
pair of socks day.
When manufactures are once begun,
competition is much faster than the increases
of population. During the last half of the
nineteenth century, while our population
was increasing threefold, our manufactures
increased eighteenfold. Accordingly as soon
as the home market is supplied, foreign mar
kets become an imperative necessity. The
nation no sooner becomes independent of
those who wish to sell, than it becomes de-
pendent on those who wish to buy.
Commerce is matter of exchange. If
there are to be exports, there must also be
imports. Like the arterial and nervous sys-
tenn of the body, the one-implies the other.
Therefore, sincerely believe that the revol-
ution of the mechanical industry, gives the
greatest power, and is the most essential in
dustry to the prosperity of state or nation.

A Young Mans Prayer

would be true, for there are those
who trust me;
would be pure, for there are those
who care;
would be strong, for there is much
to suffer;
l would be brave, for there is much

That poem, which has literally gone
around the world, was written by a young
Princeton graduate in Japan on New Years
Day, 1907, as personal prayer and aspira-
tion to the New Year. He sent it home to his
mother and through her it found its way into
HarpcT-s Da1dar.--I. --.Ir-----------r:-L
poem of the year.
Howard Arnold Walter was only % years
old when he wrote that poem and he died
last year at the age of IS in Lahore, India.
He has done many brilliant things before and
since he wrote this poem which he called "My
Creed," but nothing which will more endear
him to peoples hearts.

got nothing for his invention, and he was too
old to learn new trade, so that his ingenuity
which saved the company fortune in wages
reduced him to literal beggary.
This illustrates the inevitable result un-
der the existing selfish system. Nearly all
great manufacturing enterprises have vari-
Gus departments, just as our prison plant
has its various departments, each of which
produces one part of the entire. product, or
performs some one process. All of these de-
partments must of course work in harmony,
for one cannot run ahead of the others.
When, therefore, an invention in one de-
partment multiplies the effectiveness of the
workman, the inevitakt. result is not to in
crease that department but to reduce the
working force. There is vast number Of
such inventions which do not increase the
general product, thus stimulating demand
and ultimately creating more labor to meet
it, but simply throw men out of employment
Machinery enables the unskilled workman
to supplant the skilled, precisely as steam

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
WOULD DECIDE FOR HER.

Not long since had the happiness of meet
Ing a very attractive girl, whom / had ad-
mired for months. Her treatment Of me has
ben splendid. but she refuses to 60 out with
me because friend does not wish her to
go about without him. I thought II was a
Of engagement but she says not. She
has known him for some time and does not
wish to run the risk OF losing his friendship
for one Of shorter acquaintance. I can ap-
preciate the position OF both the girl and fell
low but contend that in the absence OF
engagement or the immediate prospects OF
one her friend Is inconsderate, for he, like
myself Is an early evening student and there
fore not able to devote all his evenings to
courting. The girl thus foregoes legitimate
enjoyment and the right to look over the
field Of possible "Prince Charmings." In brief,
the suitor has the advantages OF an engage
ment without the consequent obligations.
Now. in accordance with the old saying
that "all is fair in love and war" would be
justified in making persistent appeals but as
7 do not entirely subscribe to the ethics of
that saying, / thought TO submit this case to
you as a disinterested person for decision.
Am I wrong In seeking a date with this
girl and 10 her friend inconsiderate?
J.F.
You are not wrong in seeking a date, and
perhaps her friend Is not inconsiderate The
girl IL the one to decide whom she shall 20 out
with and whether she cares to look over the
field OF possible prince Charmings"

married l stopped corresponding
with the man loved and have tried to be
good wife to my husband We live with his

agree, l married the family for convenience;
I'm very miserable Nothing l do even suits

to abuse and ridicule.
Since the fall OF 1918 I've neither seen

last week on the rect. I've told him con-
ditions and he says he still loves me as much
as ever and wants me to get a divorce. I've

I'm q Catholic. My life with my husband Is
