HEADED RIGHT.

Needs have been pointed out and appeals have been made for better transportation service between this country and South America. It has been the lack of this that has pre- vented in part the building up of trade relations to the point where they ought to be in view of the geographi- cal position of the two continents. We have in fact failed to cultivate the re- lationship which it is generally agreed ought to exist.
 Along with other changes that are bound to be made as tbe result of the war and an awakenment to the real situation it is gratifying to learn from the chairman of the shipping board that adequate passenger ser vice will be provided to both coasts of South America, that five vessels have been selected for route that will in clude the chief cities of tie eastern coast and a similar number for the western coast to he in operation in the spring.
 Reliance has been placed upon the interesting of prlvate capital in such service through the offering for sale Of the German steamships that were seized in orr ports at the opening of the war. Bids for the 20 vessels have been received and as the result of the offers it win be detepDinsI whether the ships will be sold in accord there with, but the shipping board chairman gives assurance that whether tine yes sels are disposed of or not the service will be established.
 It is certaialy time to recognize that there will never te a more favorable opportunity for stepping into this field which has been neglected So long. Even with the improvement in trans portation service it is not to be sup posed that we are going to have ev- eIytbing OUT own way. European countries did a tig business in years past with South America and they are going to do their best to regain it. But regardless of the competition there will never he a more favorable opportunity for this country to in crease its trade in the South Ameri- can field.

 During the recent war the universi- ty. rendered service to our govern ment of the highest and most patriotic character. It had more graduates and former students to receive commits sions and serve as officers with col pred military units than any other institution in America for the train ing of negro youth. The complete facilities of the university were plac- ed at the disposal of the government. National Army Training Detachments, Students Training Corps units were trained at the university. The Student Army Instruction Camp for seventy 170) eoiered institutions of learning was also conducted here. In all. l. 7S6 men were trained fop war work at Howard university. The student enrolment last year (191S-1s) was l. 36O from thirty seven (37) different states and ten (10) foreign countries. The enrolment for this year (1919-20) is already 1922

THEIR WEDDING TRIP

Now the question is, said the young man who was about to be mar ried, where are we going on our wedding trip, Miller"
 "Oh, myl" breathed the pretty girl, who had promised to marry the young man, isn't it exciting Bobby? When you talk of wedding trips it sounds as though we really were going to be married"
 T like that! epostulated the young man. Have you been changing your mind or anything since I saw you last %
 "Of course not, you silly thing" said the pretty girl. T mean it just makes it sort of more real But-aren't trips awfully expensive these times?"
 Yep" the young man agreed. But am not figuring on being married more than this once in my life, so 1 sort of want a wedding trip. Don't you ?''
 ~oh, my yes!" she said. q plan ned my wedding trip when I was 15 wanted to go around the world and as remember it there was a side trip to the moon or Mars or some such place. It was to be in a private yacht and I always wore trailing white vel vet win a single pomegranate blos- som at my waist. never saw pome- granate blossom, but several novels had read were full of them and they sounded so grown up and luxurious
 "Td have to carry around feather duster and use it on every chair you sat on if you dressed like that" said the young man. 'Td cut out the white velvet and I believe the around the-world trip will have to be slaugh- tered, too. Where should you really like to go.'
 "Do you mean where cross my heart would like to go if I could 2"
 Sure" said the young man.
 The pretty girl clasped her hands around one knee and tilted her head refectivelyS
 There isn't any spot on earth" she said. "so absolutely suited for ones honeymoon as Honolulu. Bobby. | is positively perfect as an objective foi a wedding trip. In the first place, ii takes lot of time to get there and you're on a boat and don't have tt hurry and there's nothing to do but sit and talk and we'll have such a let to talk about, planning the furnishings and about how the crowd acted at the 1 wedding and everything.

says it is perfectly lovely"
 There isn't an doubt about that, :" said the young man soberly. sBut-'
 If it was only summer time" went on the pretty girl eagerly, we could go west by way of the Canadian Rockies and take in ali that scenery. But we can go the southern route and visit the Grand Canyon instead. Haven't you always wanted to see the can yon?"
 T should say had!s said the young man about to be married with marked enthusiasm. When Billings was there the Indians killed a leopard right there among the pines and-''
 .Ugh!" shuddered the pretty girl. How horrid! I thought the canyon was just scenery. Aren't you just wild to start ?'
 T Sam," said the young man. ''but-''
 My suit would be all right for a trip like that" she proceeded. And my cape will come in handy on the boat"
 T wanted to say, Millie," interrupt ed the young man, that"
 "Pd heaps rather go to Honolulu than to Europe" his financee said en thusiastically. Tt is more out of the way. I think the most exclusive ,peo- ule go to Honolulu. They say the moon is something to dream of out there-and we'd take your camera and then when we are so years old the pie lures will bring it all back again Won't it be fun
 I'm awfully afraid, Millie," the young man got it at last, that I've got to break your heart. We'll have to leave Honolulu for a trip some time after I make my fortune To tell you the honest truth, I couldn't begin te afford it. I had thought-that is, ii you'd like it-I had plannel that we could at least have a trip to New Or leans and the gulf. I know it isn'i much and how I wish I could take you to Honolulu"
 Why Bobby!" gasped the pretty girl, rapturonsly. Can we really go tt New Orleans? How perfectly splendid! I never dreamed we could have at big a trip as that. "oh, that will bt perfect. Why, you goose, I knew Vt couldn't go to Honolulu any more thar we could go to the moon in a white i velvet yacht I shall just love it Bobby!"
 Well, I'll be darned!" breathed tht relieved young man. And we ear take the camera. w.'-ChIcagt News.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Liquor Traffic.

Ar. Editor: We have read a letter January 16th, in which the writer up holds the liquor traffic, signs himself Fair Minded and then goes on and condemns prohibition. Now we have always thought that a fair minded person was one that would give credit where it was due, also standing for right and justice and the greatest good to the greatest number. The Lquor traffic is the cause of seventy five per cent. of poverty and crime every where. Prohibition is the cause of a very large part of joy and comfort everywhere. Prohibition makes sober men and it was sober army and a sober workman and the noble women of our country that did the work bought the Liberty bonds and won the war. The idle drinking man did noth- ing toward it.
 He seems to have a great consider ation for the working man who en- joyed his beer after a days work and is deprived of it. How about the hun gry wife and children that are depriY- ed of the comforts that the beer money and time wasted in saloons would give2 Are they not entitled to some consideration? The liquor traffic is crime and an outlaw and has beer so decided by the supreme court of tht United States. A liquor bill cannot bt collected by a process of law. It has no legal standing whatever. He points with pride to the great revenue deriv- ed from it. The facts are that there never was a revenue because it neyel began to anywhere near pay the ex- pense of the product of the saloon.
 He claims there ought to be ref erendum vote and assure that if there was there would not be prohibition Perhaps he does not know that thirty two states by a referendum vote wen dry and that sixty five per cent. oi the population of this country was liv- ing in dry territory before the Presen national prohibition law was enacted One does not have to stand on tht street a great while to see the differ ence between old days and the new with happy people with money tC spend in the stores for the comforts of life, which builds up the town in stead of tearing it down. We say thank God for prohibition It is tht greatest blessing that ever came t 1 the working man and all humanity | Yours truly

LIQUOR LEeIsLArIoN.

Regardless Of the fact that sufficient time was allowed in which to get it out Of the country. if it was desired to export it and regardless of the time limit set for making and disposing of it at home. the going into effect of the prohibition law found millions of gall Ions of liquors in government ware houses under bond.

It can be converted into alec hol and sold under restrictions or it can be Kept and sold for medicinal purposes under the red tape that has been provided.

It seems only reasonable that such redemption should be provided for, but it is a question whether as favorable A re- ception would be given to the idea of having the government buy the mil lions Of gallons of liquor that are in s,ond.
