PROHIBITION TAMED

The New York Herald quotes
Miss Rose Rotheuberg, New York s
only woman assistant district at
torney, especially charged with look
ing after cases involved with wom-
en-, as saying: since the advent
OF Prohibition there is a great de-
creae in the numbers Of wild wom-
en'Y appearing before the police
courts. We still have old offenders,
too far gone 10 be Influenced by the
liquor laws under prohibition, but
there il d great change since prohi-
bition secame effective.
'The type Of prisoners in the
women's court formerly showed a
startling percentage of young girls.
This percentage has decreased en-
cOuragingly The impulsive work
ing girl type of wild woman who
was formerly dazzled by the white
lights of Broadway and by alcoholic
beverages, no longer spends her ev-
enings in barroom gayety. We find
now ~ t she usually goes home to
bed about 1880.
Even some OF the hardened won

notice Of the district attorneys Of

difficulty of obtaining liquor or
drugs to nerve them FOR work in

STATUE TO MAGELLAN.

Chile is soon to erect a monument
to Magalhaens-whom the Span
iards call Magallanes and whom the
English-speaking peoples were
taught, in days when the geography
of this sphere was more stable than
it has been during the past five years,
to call Magellan. The winning
model was lately chosen by means.of
a contest held under the auspices of
the Chilean Acadamy of Fine Arts;
the name Of the sculptor is Cordova
"a rising figure, by the way, who is
well known for his statue Of O'Hig-
gins, recently unveiled at Buenos
Aires. The funds for the statue
were left by wealthy Spanish mer-
chant who settled in Chile-Jose
Menendez. The monument will be
placed at Punta Arenas.

BRITISH CROPS FALLING OFF
Estimates Show That Yield for the
Year viii Be Much Smaller Than
Was Expected.

The preliminary statement of the
estimates of produce of corn and
hay in Great Britain has now been
issued, The figures show that all
the important crops have yielded
appreciably smaller returns per acre
than last year and are also below the
average of the past ten years. Wheat
and beans are relatively the best
(apart from peas, which are a little
over average), but both are three
bushels per acre under average. Only
twice in the last 35 years has lower
yield per acre Of oats and hay been
recorded, and only twice has there
been a worse yield of barley. This
j low production per acre was to some
extent compensated for, in certain
cases, by the area under cultivation
The total crops of wheat and oats,
for example, though much smaller
than last year, were relatively large.
The total yield of hay is the small
lest for 35 years, excepting 1898, and
that of barley the smallest save in
1915 and 1916.

Elderly Philadelphia Clergyman Acted
Wisely In the Belief. His Time
Had Not Come.

When an eighty-year-old man
fights an armed highwayman be-
cause he was confident that he had
work still to do and that his time
to die had not come, there can be no
doubt that the man was right.
This is what Rev. John Stringer
did the other night. He pushed the
gun away from his body and strug-
gled with the highwayman for its
possession till the man wassfright-
ened and escaped in an automobile.
Many younger man would have
said to himself that his hour had
come and would have submitted in
the vain hope that he might post
pone it. Mr.. Stringer's faith saved
both his life and his money.
But what could the highwayman
have been thinking Of in holding up
a minister? Preachers are not sup
posed to have any money. There
would be richer pickings in holding
up some wartime profteers whose
guilty consciences would weaken
their arms and destroy their cour-
age. We are not suggesting that the
profteers be forced in this way to
disgorge, but are merely indicating
that it does not pay to tackle the
clergy.-Philadelp Evening Pub

The passage or the nineteenth amendment giving wo- men the vote, has caused extreme con- fusion. No one hss any idea as to the size Of the womans registration or their vote on September 13.
 I feel very strongly that if all the women's vote in Maine could be boiled a majority of them would favor the demo- cratic ticket They show the same ten dency to cast their ballots in favor of a definite and permanent peace as they do in other sections 4 the country.
 I did, however, run across more loose campaign talk in Maine than anywhere else so far. For instance, the repubIi- cans are going around from house to house circulating the story that Cana dian troops are about to be sent to fight in Poland under the League of Nations. This is simply an example of the straits to which the opposition is driven for cam paign material
