VIRGIN ISLANDS
 ARE NOT "DRY"

San Juan, P. R., Aug. 16.-Prob- ably the only place under the Ameri- can flag where prohibition is not now in force is in the Virgin Islands where, until Congress meets to enact new laws, the old Danish law re- mains in force.
 The Colonial Council of St. Croix has just passed a bill repeating for mer local legislation for that island which provided for local prohibition until a specified period after the end ing of the war. Similar legislation is pending in the Colonial Council for the islands of St. Thomas and St. John.
 The treaty of sale by which the is lands were transferred from Denmark to the United States provided that laws in force at the time of the trans fer should remain in full force and effect until Congress enacted special legislation for the islands. This has not yet been done. In the meantime the constitution of the United States. in all of it's provisions, is not applica- b1e to the islands and the eighteenth amendment has no meaning there.
 As a war measure the colonial councils, the local law-making bodies, passed prohibition acts to be en- forced during the war. As a result
 
 for dollar a bottle and other li quors were equally inexpensive, and the two other islands gradually. be- came dry. Merchants in St. Thomas whose business is largely that of sup plying ships stores have contended that prohibition was one of their greatest handicapss while the sugar makers in St. Croix were deprived of a. lucrative trade in an important by product of sugar when they were forced to cease making rum. With war prohibition removed by local legislation, runn-making has already been resumed.
 Indirectly, however, the Virgin Is- lands are feeling the force of the United States prohibition laws. Pro- hibition Director Donaldson has re- fused to grant permits for the ship m ment>of alcohol to St. Thomas from here to be used in the manufacture of bay rum unless manufacturers bind theselves to denature their product so that it cannot be used for beverage purposes. The manufacture of bay rum is one of the chief industries of St Thomas and St. John.

MENTAL HEALTH AS NECESSARY AS BODILY HEALTH
Emotions and Thoughts Important Factors in Physical WeIl-Being.

National health, as a positive as set, instead of a liability, the respon- sibi1ity for which rests upon all in dividua1s is to be the keynote of a national health movement which is being planned by the Young Wom- ems Christian Association and four teen cooperating organizations. The movemen will be known as The Woman's Foundation for Health and will have a central bureau be- sides Health Centers'' in six or eight sections of the country. These Health Centers'' will endeavor to merge educa tional, social and recrea- tionaI agencies of a community for constructive health work for the fact is now being recognized that the mental and emotional health of a person are important factors in phy- sical we1l-beipg, according to Dr.
 Hannah Morris of the Social Educa- ton Department of the Y. W. c. A. who is speaking in the interest Of a general health movement. "The aver age person. by the term health, gen. orally means a state of mere physical health,'' says pr. Morris, "but we are beginning to realize now what large part our thoughts and emotions play in our physical condition" g

IMPROVEMENTS.

The old fogey town looks over it's rough streets and broken sidewalks. and decides that they will go a while longer.
 They were good enough for our fla thers, it says. Why not for us? Mod ern improvements like paved and hardened streets, an abundant and sanitary water supply, sewage systems motorized fire departments, etc., cost a lot of money. There is such thing as running tax rate up so high that it drives people away. The advancing town maintains such efficient munich pal government however, that it gets these advantages at a minimum of cost. Also it has followed the policy of Pay as you go' as far as possi- b1e. It is paying no very heavy load of interest money on dead horses.
 The advancing town has men of public spirit, and enterpristng con cerns, that are willing to invest cap1- tai in local improvements, and make contributions to funds for public inn provements, so that all such better ments do not have to come out of t1as tax lDsv.

(By ED. HUGHES

When Tom Sharkey started fighting out on the coast about twenty-five years ago he was one of the genuine curios of the ring. Every one agreed that he was abnormally powerful and that he was saturated with the true battle instinct. But few, indeed, could detect the lear marks of a champion, or anything approaching them, on the rugged countenance of the mariner. Nevertheless, Sharkey revealed them in practically his first important encounter which was with none other than the then worlds S champion, James, J. Corbett. Nothing like showing the champions lear marks" against a champion, you know.
 Corbett had dropped into Frisco and his townspeople suggested that . it would be a capital joke to bring hirn and the clumsy sailor together.
 The bout itself created one of the biggest sensations known to ring dom. Sharkey from a fistic harle- quin rose almost to the pinnacle of. a worlds championship in a single night Corbett made a show of the awkward novice while his condition held out which was for about a round and half. Once he staggered the short-coupled mariner with a shower of lefts and rights. The end seemed near as Sharkey reeled to the ropes. But the sailor recuperated in miraculous fashion and returned to the combat with gusto.
 The fast pace told on Corbett. Sharkey, detecting the fact, fought furiously. Corbett barely managed to last the third round out. Some terrific swings released by the sailor lashed the air about Corbett's chin. The champion clinched as often as possible to avoid being laid low by a vagrant "haymaker."
 Several times Sharkey's Donney- brook fisticuffing nearly bore him to the canvass. Once the sailor pinned both the champion and the referee, a young crony of Corbetts, on the ropes. Another time Corbett and the referee were sent sprawling to the floor following one of the deck scrubber's hurricane attacks. The spectacle of a worlds champion be- ing man-handled by an unknown sailor was rich morsel for the crowd. Every wild lunge of the sailors was supplemented by a bar rage of ear-splitting encouragement from the ringsiders.
 Before the. fourth was over Cor bett was hanging on for dear life. Over the shoulder of Sharkey in a cllnch Corbett was seen nodding to his seconds and the betting commis- sioners. Instantly Jim's handlers and the police hoped into the ring. .Some one banged the gong. The fight was over a full minute before it should have terminated. They tore the in furiated sailor from Corbett and hustled%the champio to his dressing room.
 Corbett's Irish wit came to his res cue the next morning when asked what he thought of Sharkey. He's
 the best wrestler I ever fought" was his answer. Perhaps Jim meant to say Tighter" For, later Sharkey beat him ill nine rounds in New York

Psychologist Tells
 How Ruth Does It

Next time you step up to the bat for your home team and find three men on and just a. good wallop to sew up the works, just convince your sub conscious self that you will make a. home run and you will do it.
 That's the way Babe Ruth has run his string up to 42, according to Dr. Orlando F. Miller, noted psychologist
 Babe Ruth's success as a knocker of home runs" Dr. Miller declared before a class of psychology, lis not a question of athletic skill, but of his confidence When he goes into Ia game he does so under the conviction that he will knock a home run There is nothing else for his subSconscious mind to do then but to connect the bat with the ball. Anybody can do anything that he is absolutely sure he can do. Doubt is the one cause of failure.'
