RHODE ISLANDS CONTENTION.

least, by the states Of Connecticut
and New Jersey, to test the validity
OF the prohibition amendment are Of
the opinion that the argument and
the issue will be comparable with
those other great constitutional ques.
lions which the supreme court has
been in the past called upon to- de-

to come before the court.
These lawyers are of the opinion
that the supreme court recognizes the
great Importance of the action taken
by Rhode Island and say this recog-

court In dismissing the contention OF
the federal government that the
court did not have original jurisdic.

Island to file brief of complaint
Rhode Island will ask that the court
issue permanent Injunction which
will restrain the enforcement of the
prohibition amendment in that state.
If the court were to grant this in
junction 1t presumably would be
based upon the opinion that the pro

the original constitution and espe,

EVIDENCE FROM ENGLAND.

a bit of enlightenment on the working OF
compulsory health insurance in England is
given in news report of proposed govern
nnent investigation of alleged spolation of large
accumulated funds. 1t seems that the people
do not find the service given them under the
law satisfactory; that the long wait for gov
eminent designated doctor, who may may
not take the case when he is seen; the equally
long wait for medicines at the official headquar-
tiers; the need of constant resort to private
physicians with the consequent double payment
4 for medical care; the gradual withdrawal of
reputable physicians from the insurance serv-
ice because of the incompetence OF many po-
litical Apprenticeship these influences have re-
suited in large surplus in the fund. The
workers are paying heavily for service they
will not have because Of it's inef1iciency and
abuses
Now it seems there has been a movement
made by the health insurance physicians, chem
lists and other attaches to have the surplus dis
iributed among them. This the working people
hre in wrathful protest against, and no wonder.
Compulsory health insurance works into po-
litical jobbery in which public health is jeop-
hrdized and the public pocket made the opium
tree This has always been the experience
where the scheme has been tried. Here in this
country the people do not want compulsory
health insurance; the labor unions have declar-
I'd against it; the fraternal orders are against
It; economists have pronounced it futile pater-
nahsm. Who does want it? Probably a lot of
lhird-rate physicians and pharmacists and
Tould-be officeholders.

Alkali in Shampoos
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much a1kali, which is yeg
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mu1sihed o.
coanut oil shampoo. for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and
beats anything else all to pieces. You
can get this at any drug store, and d
few ounces will last the whole famly|
for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water,
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. It makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor.
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft
fresh looking, bright, fluffy. wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandru6.

Cedar Rapids Republican:
Sugar is said to be easing Off a
bit and some right here In Cedar
Rapids have been buying it two
and three and four cents a pound
less than others. Easing on
bit, is a good phrase. No man
with any sense at all has ever
doubted that there Is plenty or
sugar. A grocery man who runs
little place described 1t the
other day when he said that he
always had sugar, they always
saw to that, but they let him
tave only SO much at time-so
that he could plead scarcity and
charge more. That's the whole
trick in the game.
Listen to these facts and con-
template them again: Last August
there were in Cuba 100000 tons
of raw sugar which were offered
to the American food commits
sioners for six and half cents
a pound, raw sugar. The renn-
ing and the carrying would have
made that sugar worth around
ten cents a pound to the pur-
chasers. The question Of taking
over that sugar on behalf OF the
consumers was laid before the
president who, busted with other
matters. referred it to A. Mitchell
Palmer, the attorney general, wso
has since been doing a great
deal of talking about getting
after proflteers.
Mr.. A. Mitchell Palmer In due
time advised the president that
in his judgment it was not neces-
sary to take over the sugar on
the part of the government. He

there would be plenty OF sugar

What happened to that sugar
is that is was gobbled up by

are dealing it out slowly enough
to keep up the prices. That THIS
has been done is not mere guess

FIRST MONTH
OF PROHIBITION
More Than One Thousand Arrests
Made for Violations Of National
Dry Law in Thirty
Days.
IBy Ralph F. Couch, United Press
staff Correspondent

[By Ralph F. Couch, United Press
STAFF Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-More
than 1000 arrests marked the first
month of constitutional prohibition,
Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Kramer estimated today In an inter-
view. Announcement of the exact
number of arrests will not be possible
until reports are received Feb. Is.
With approximately 1900 agents In
the service. the national prohibition
enforcement agency now 10 almost
completely organized, according to
Kramer.
But only a start has been made to-
ward solving the problem OF making
the country dry, Kramer said.
1.-THE most important results OF the
first month are intangible" he said.
1.-THE development of first importance
lis the very evident change in the atu-
|tude of the citizenry toward the law,
especially in the eastern cities. It Is
rapidly becoming plain that the PEG
pie of the country are giving their en-
tire support to enforcing the law. At
first this. was not clearly apparent,
although 1t might have been assumed
to be SO from the fact that the con-
stitutional amendment was adopted.
But at first it seemed as II enforcing
the law would depend entirely upon
the officials.
Now, however, there is distinct
change noticeable in public opinion.
In Boston, for instance. the police.
backed completely by public sentiment
are enforcing that clause OF the law
which makes it necessary to remove
all liquor signs from buildings form
Ierly occupied by saloons. The build
ings rapidly are being converted to
other uses. All traces OF the former
traffic in liquor are rapidly disappear
ing.
In Chicago. New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, the same change In
public opinion is evident.
4 Chief among the problems confront
ing him is the smuggling of liquor,
Kramer said.
Outwitting the moonshine liquor
maker is another job to which Kram-
er is giving especial attention. The
moonshine district centers In Ken
lucky, Tennessee, North and South
Carolina and to some extent In west
fern Pennsylvania.
Kramer voiced a warning to per.
sons and concerns holding permits to
buy and sell liquor for non-beverage
purposes, which is permitted under
the law.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1920-02-17


death is the claim of finger print
experts.
Now all the substances of which
finger print is formed are easily
obtained, and thus forgery is easy.
To secure the form Of finger print
is also admittedly simple-even un.
known to the person.
ITO place the form on the object
desired is the final step. And l have
done this.
Others criminals-may possess
this knowledge, and the power of life
and death may rest in their hands.
Finger prints of person, living
or dead, may at any time be placed
on the vault of bank, book, gun
or knife, though the supposed maker
Of the finger print has never been
seen. much less touched the OBJ
jects."
