CLASH OCCURS
over DRY LAW
Three Government Departments
Involved in New .Snarl
Recently Disclosed.
.(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct f6-Disclosure OF
a new prohibition snaGl in which three
government departments and members
of the diplomatic corps are involved
was made today when the state depart
ment issued a formal statement say
ing 1t assumes that no official Of
the government would attempt to pry
into the baggage Of foreign diplo-
matte Officer
The unusual course Of the state de-
partment in making what appeared
to be public appeal to other govern
ment officials was adopted, it was
learned. after the treasury had amend
ed customs regulations so as to re-
quire the baggage of diplomats to be
examined and liquor removed Back
of the action of the treasury, it was
also disclosed, was an opinion rendered
by the attorney general. 1t was not
made public but was said to hold that
the Volstead act withdrew from diplo-
mats the exemption from customs ex-
animation of their baggage hitherto
accorded as a. matter of international
courtesy.
Diplomats have made no formal pro-
test. The state department, however,
has evidence of irritation among mem
bers of the corps in Washington.
Differences, however, have arisen
between the state and treasury Off
cials on the question Treasury Off
cials, although reticent let it be known
that the discussion of the status Of
diplomatic baggage began early last
spring The treasury was said TO have
formulated a policy then and asked the
state department for its views.
Foreseeing the possibility OF en-
barrassment should baggage Of diplo-
mats be examined, the state depart
ment sought and obtained delay in
issuance of the new restrictions. Late
in August. however, Assistant Secretary
Shouse, Who has Jurisdiction over
both the customs and prohibition
units Of the treasury and whose resig-
nation was announced only this week,
applied to Attorney General Palmer
for an opinion interpreting the Vol
stead act on the point involved.
That opinion was said to hold that
al m p a t o n OF liquor
was barred by the act, the state de-
partment, however, Is said to have
made representations against the rig
idity of the finding on the ground that
comfy and law worked
to the contrary. A second legal e.
Jew Of the act by the department OF
Justice resulted and the stale depart
ment again was defeated in its conten-
tions, it was said.

SHEPHERD BECAME A PRINCE
together Negligible Object in His
Early Life.

Emir Feisal of Arabia began life as
a dirty little shepherd boy. His moth
er was an Arabian girl of Mecca and
cousin of his father. When Feisal
was still baby Shereef Hussein sent
him into the desert to live with
Bedouin tribe, because 1t is considered
more wholesome for a boy to grow
up In the open desert country than in
city or village. In COnstantin0ple
Feisal contracted consumption, writes
Lowell Thomas In Asia, but since then
the desert has taken it out of him, al
though he is still very thin and has
waist only q inches In circumference.
He smokes cigarettes day and night
and eats sparingly. Among the tribes
he is celebrated as an unusually fine
shot and good horsemaD and camel
rider. Feisal is enlightened and thor
oughly modern in his views. His peO-
pie follow him, not through fear, but
because they love him. He Is much
too kind and Iiberal-minded to rule
as an oriental despOt Of the old school
and he may be depended upon to usher
in an entirely new order Of things TOR
his people.

hope. every man and woman who
wears clothes will pay tribute, and
a heavy tribute, to the one time OPP
pressed east-sider. At any rate, the
entire movement is relatively con-
sentative. as it would have to be
where the clothing workers are con-

want to 60 back to a primitive state
in which men could live on nuts and
wear fig leaves, and the clothing
workers are naturally not for that
program. They propose to make and
sell all the clothing their fellows will
buy, and thereby absorb as much of
the said fellows income as possible,
and they think a clothing workers
bank will help them attain their

FREN CHW OMAN'S TASTE
CHANGED BY DOUGHBOYS

PARIS.-Frenchwo no longer
care for intellectual men. Their
preference goes to good looks. This
is the unanimous verdict of writer's
like Marcel Provost, of the French
academy, the greatest feminine psy-
biologist, as well as of Pierre Mile,
Marcel Boulenger-to mention Just
a few.
And American men are held to be
responsible for the change.
Before the war the average French
girl cared little for a mans ap-
pearance. Frenchmen were reput-
ed the worst dressed men in the
world, for only their intellect count
ed with the women.
But with the war. everything
changed. France was invaded by
men of all the nations, one hand
somer than the other, in glittering
uniforms. The prestige of the in
tellectual man fell to nothing. All
favors were for the handsome hero,
strong and we'll set up. American
mems popularity proved it.

MEN TRYING THEIR
WINGS

A brief press dispatch says that
Ormer Locklear. the daring army
aviator of war times, was killed at
Los Angeles last week and buried
with full military honors at Fort
Worth, Texas, Sunday.
Blackfoot movie fans may remem-
Der seeing him in remarkable film
hazard where he had the part of a
Lochinvar of the air, stole away his
bride, and performed the difficult
feat of dropping from one plane to
another in mid-flight.
And now he has added his name
to the long list of those who have
flown too close to the flame with
their new-made wings and paid the
final penalty. But the fact that
there are men who will fly in
the very face of fate compliments the
race and shows that reckless Draw
cry is yet an element to be reck-
oned with by our enemies.
These 'dare-devils Of the sky, too,
have much fastened the day of uni
versal air travel, mail routes and
the like. They are worthy of hon
or. They do not love life too we'll
They benefit the whole world, wheth-
er they live or die.-F. c. K.

FREE ADVICE NOT Needed

Battery advice is Free" says o.
R. Merrill, Willard Service Station
dealer, land like all free products
it is drug on the market. 1t is
estimated that if car owner would
try to do all the things suggested
by the trade papers, the car builders
and the battery manufacturers, he
would have no time to drive, to at
tend to business or keep up speak
ing acquaintance with his family.
LAS matter of fact, battery
does not need a great deal of care,
and the average driver gets good re-
suits by putting in a little water
every week or so, and making regu-
lar calls at the service station.
at is always important to give a
battery the right start, and the first
thing every purchaser of car-new
or old-should do is to drive around
to the service stations so that his
battery could be registered and given
the right sort of start toward USE
full and active life"

USED BY ANCIENT PHYSICIAN
Graeco- Roman Medical and Surgical
instruments of Bronze Now In
Johns Hopkins University.

William H. BuckIer, who served on
the staff of the American embassy In
London during the war, has presented
to the Archeoogist museum of Johns
Hopkins university, Of which he was a
former trustee, set Of ancient Graeco-
Roman medical and surgical instru-
ments found two years ago near KOlo-
phon. in Asia Minor.
The collection was on exhibition in
London and was formerly in the pos
session of the late Alfred o. Van Len
nep, Dutch vice consul in Smyrna, who
owned a large estate near Kolophon
and was well acquainted with the ex-
cavations and discoveries in that vi
cinity.
The instruments, SO in number, are
all Of bronze, with but one exception.
They were probably the property Of
some Roman physician living in Asia
Minor in the first or second century A.
D., and the fact that they were all
found in one place is doubtless ex.
planned, in the opinion of experts, by
the ancient custom of burying per-
sons worldly possessions with him.
The set includes surgical knives and
elevators, forceps, tenacula (sharp
hOoks), unique drill bow. for use in
injuries and diseases of the skull,
scoops, probes and a cautery.

most interesting object. 1t Is like

GOVERNMENT BONDS
LOOK BETTER.

A grasshopper is not expected 10
know that change Is a law that OPP
crates on both life and the elements,
and when, as in the fable, he sings
all summer long expecting perennial
summer and starves soon after win
ter's first cold breath hits him, we
are moved to an added admiration of
our own powers Of reasoning: We
know that the rainy day cometh, but
we do just about as the grasshopper
does, trusting to luck in spite of our
reason.
There may not be in Blackfoot
many of those wise folks who live
by the manipulation of capital, who
buy stocks and clip coupons, but a
good many of that tribe are about to
be taught lesson in economics. If
they would have taken the trouble
to buy any old book on the subject
of economics and looked up trade
cycle" and financial crisis" they
would have seen matters of note re-
lated in the daily news this sum-
mer. At this very time our nation
is entering upon the second period
of a financial crisis, marked by tight
money and declining trade profits.
These moneyed folks had bought
lots of bonds, plenty, during the
war. Bonds, especially United States
bonds, are always safer than stocks.
But about year ago the profits in
the field of business during a peri
cd of expansion of credits every
where were so great that bonds were
sold and stocks purchased with mon
ey. The banks became loaded up
with bonds, and the treasury retired
a large lump of them. Bonds pay
less interest than investments in
commercial stocks which are on the
rise, but they still pay when COM
mercial investments descend as they
are doing now.
1t is unfortunate for some good
Americans that Liberty bonds were
SO easily eXchangeable for cash last
year. Whether they used the mon
ey for luxuries and now need it for
necessities or whether they soaked
it into stocks that have ceased to
pay dividends they are in a position
to prefer the government bonds.
With threats of brass and honeyed
words of sound advice everybody
was exhorted to hang onto Liberty
bonds, and all that talk about per-
manence and solidity got over the
heads of the people. Four per cent
interest seemed nothing Nowadays,
to preserve the principal means
much.
According to Bradstreet's, there
have been 1880 business failures

PROSPERITY GIVES
INSIGHT

Workers who were once danger
Gus radicals have been changed
about as from black to white by the
circumstance of being given a place
in the sun. The following article,
published by the American Exchange
National bank, of New York, is en-
tightening at to what it points out:
THE radicals have always regard
ed the banks as the. buIwarks Of
privilege and invested them with
mysterious powers. Consequently,
the advent of the unions into bank
ing will have an aspect of radical
ism that will spike the arguments
OF the extremists and tend to re-
store confidence in the old time lead
ership. In unions like the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers, which
has absolute control of the industry
for its ultimate goal, the banking
program has more practical and ap-
parent values. The brotherhoods
are said to have funds aggregating
$1S,000,O00 or $40, 900 and are
by far the richest of the labor
unions, but the clothing workers,
who are not affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, are rapidly
winning a place beside the brother
hoods in the aristocracy of labor. The
rise of the clothing workers to afflu-
ence is perhaps unparalleled in the
history Of such movements A few
years ago the men and women who
composed the union were the de-
spised sweatshop toilers, and now
they are among the highest paid
workers in the country. Naturally
these radicals, for until recently they
were the radicals of the radicals, are
beng won away from the revolution.
They have tasted money and have
liked it, and under the direction of
leadership that is above all prac-
tical, they are headed for the softest
spot available. Their bank has not
been organized. but it is being plan
ned and will possibly be the next to
come into public notice. This bank
will form the basis of an alleged CO.
operative movement which will in
reality mask the first big venture in
industrialism and unionism, that is
if the carefully worked out plans do
not miscarry. The clothing workers
were once the backbone of socialism;
now they are in the forefront of in
dustrial unionism, which is the an
tithesis of socialism. Their CONVEX
sion resulted from their discovery of
the power of organization as
method of exploitation of their fell
lows, and having lived on the best
and having the power to continue to
demand the best, they no longer
favor general level of society. Their
bank will probably be used for the
accumulation of funds against the
time when the workers are ready to
enter the clothing industry as manu-
facturers. These funds will also be
available for the use of capitalist
