WOULD CUT PERMITS

Aroused by the fact that the withs
drawal OF liquor for non-beversge
purposes has jumped from SOO.eeO
gallons a month TO 100000 gallons.
the AntI-Saloon League has
launched a night against manufsc-
turers and dispensers Of proprietary
medicines and alcoholic preparations
that are being used for beverage
purposes.
As the first step. Wayne h.
Wheeler. general counsel for the
league, has filed a protest with pro-
hibition enforcement officials
against reissuance Of permits for
making these preparations.
In the past the Internal Revenue
Bureau has ruled that one dose OF
a medicament added TO one nuio
ounce OF the preparation make the
liquid ''unft for beverage use" The
Lacquer holds there are medicines
which in that proportion would not
be UNIT for beverage use.
Mr.. Wheeler says that the e1-
perienSe from the sale Of the liquids
in question should be taken into
consideration and given even more
weight than any theory represent
ed by a chemical formula"
The National Proprietary Associa-
tion, made up OF the manufacturers
Of legitimate preparations. recent
ly held a meeting in New York
and instructed the of1cials of the
organization to collect evidence OF
specific instances Of violation OF the
prohibition law in the manufacture
and sale of so-called medicinal
preparations.
According to Wheeler, the en-
forcement system should be framed
so as TO safeguard the distribu-
ton of alcohol by denaturing or
indicating IL at the factory.

By CLIFFORD L. MEREDITH.

II President-elect Harding and the
incoming vice-president should walk

perhaps in a less gentlemanly fash

tom, would you give them positions
of responsibility?
Would you recognize in them the

Or would you view with a trifie

than millions of voters displayed

pacities to become the head and
assistant head of Americas first
board of directors?
Faces Show Abilities.
In case you are not in a position
to do any hiring of Senators and
Governors, perhaps you are inter-
ested in knowing just what these
incoming Republican standard bear
ers have stamped in their faces. For

and characteristics which are as

times you have already unconscious

Your passing, self-addressed re-

every path of your daily life are
perforce hasty but they have

through contact with others the es-

phasize those recognized marks of

artificial assistance often falls
short of hiding the true lines of
the players off-stage personality.
1t takes experts to kid Nature.
Basis Found I'm Science.
The scientific study of the hu-
man face and head brings to light
many reasons why men act or re-
act in the manner in which they
do. Mrs. Harriette Gum Robertson,
Hotel Lafayette, known nationally
as a teacher of character analysis.
took the time from her regular
work of the past week to take the
photographs of Harding and Coo
lidge out in the open and tell what
an analysis of their countenances
reveals.
Q Her brief for the science is
summed up shortly. Mature loves
variety" says Mrs. Robertson. mo
leaves are the same, no blossoms
the same, no summer skies the same.
Likewise, Natures love of variety
is shown in the nonsimilarity of
faces, the reason for the variety
being not only to avoid the mo-
notony of a standardized face. but
that the features may reveal in
dividual abilities and characters
tics. When we fail to read human
nature correctly. the fault is not
in the face and what it reveals,
but within us because of our ig-
norance.
with knowledge and experience
we can not only tell whether a
man is honest, optimistic, humane,
altruistic. but may speak with GER
tainty whether he is fitted to black
boots or sit in the Presidents
chair. The face may be read in
a scientific manner by knowing the

Coolidge has not the same strength
of individuality as is expressed by
Harding. His nose. however. shows
more aggressiveness than Harding S
and his ability to fight his own bat
ties is fully equal to that Of the

To illustrate graphically the pres
ence of qualities attributed to Hard
ing, Mrs. Robertson has taken a sill
houette of Harding's profile, and by
dotted white line, has eliminated
the pronounced marks of good char
acteristics. By the violent contrast,
one readily grasps the significance

the public payrolls and destroy the private payrolls of the country. We have had, as someone has we'll put it, too much of politics in business and too little of business in politics.
 Out of this chaos comes loudly the call for the reconstructing hand of a real business man; one who has ac- tually wrought in the field of practical business affairs. The answer to that call is the republican nominee for pres tdent, Warren G. Harding, who, in a typical American community, built a large and thriving business, under ad- verse conditions, from the ground up, and who, through years of actual con- tact with men and things in the busi- ness world, knows what business means and how it should properly be conducted.
 There is a world of theories and words, and a world of things and deeds. Too many protesting to be statesmen dwell in the former, and too often, charged with great respon- sibility, they make a mess of practical affairs. Warren c. Harding is a product of the school of practical ex- perience; a graduate of "the univer- sity of hard knocks" The great busi- ness problems of government, now foremost because of the oppressive burdens of taxation, the vital necessity of recognizing the government on 8 business basis, and the immediate need of giving to American business enterprise and American agriculture and American labor the encourage ment essential to ward off widespread commercial calamity as the aftermath of war-these conditions call for 8 man in the presidency who in the world of practical affairs has learned to deal with business problems in a business way.
 And so, in response to this imme- diate, pressing need, Warren G. Hard ing will be the nations first business man by occupation in the presidency of the United States.

TALK AND THINK ALASKA

Talk Alaska, is the advice of Step hen S. Wise, one of Americas promi nent leaders in social welfare move ments and noted all over the world Do it now, is the next step he advo. cated
 Tn other words, if you know Alaska it's possibilities, it's potential sources for greatness, whether it be in seen cry, in fishing, in timber, in mining, in farming or any other industry don't keep your knowledge bottled up. Give it freedom. Turn it loose where it will communicate itself to others who lack it. r. Be booster for your own country, And it is not difficult task for one who knows this great Northland to boost for it. Turn to almost any sec tion of Alaska and there will be found opportunities which are deserving of special mention. Alaskans have be- come so familiar with the possibilities that many of them are taking it for granted that they are matter of common knowledge. Many fail to realize that what to them is an old story, to others is an unwritten book.
 Alaska has had lots of publicity and most of it has been of the wrong kind. First, it has been pictured as land of eternal cold by fictionists who used icicles for penpoints and with telling effect. This impression has been made deeper by few would be heroes who have written the folks back home about the terrible hard ships they had undergone 1nushing across the frozen, snow-drifted steppes and ice-filled streams in the middle of July, or whatever summer month they happen to hit the frigid zone. Then the conservationists got in deadly blow with their sandbags and the resources the writers of let ters and fiction didn't freeze up the latter element locked up so tight that it has taken two decades to unlock and the process has just started.
 Now that the unlocking seems in a fair way to begin, it is also propitious to start a real education campaign about Alaska. And MT. Wise points out the way. Talk Alaska. There is no closed season for that kind of Alaska can really talk about and for ic. Others have done it with disas- terous results which can only be counteracted by real facts. Alaskans have the facts and are in position to use them.-Juneau Empire

DEFECTIVE MUNITIONS
 DUMPED OVERBOARD

HONOLULU, July 22 (by Associat- ed Press). Forty tons of condemned hand grenades, primer caps and other defective ordnance material belonging to the Hawaiian department of the army were taken out to sea and dumped overheard. During the war regular practice in hand grenade throwing was held here, but since the armistice this class of instruction has fallen off. AS the grenades will not keep indefinitely and are dangerous, they were dumped into the sea.

4 BUSINESS MAN FOR PRESIDENT

Warren G. Harding, next president of the United States, will be the first business man by occupation to become president of the United States.
 There have been twenty-seven presi. dents, holding the office of chief exec utive, throughout a period of 131 years; all soldiers, lawyers, planters or publicists by profession; not busi- ness man by occupation in the whole long line. Warren G. Harding will be the first business man and the first newspaper man to succeed to the of flee.
 Yet the office of president deals with the biggest business concern on earth the United States of America The American government is & great cor poration in which hundredsand ten million people are stockholders From that corporation the people must draw dividends, or to it they must pay as- sessments. It deals vitally with the welfare of private trade and industry upon which depends the material pros- perity of all these millions Yet until now, in all our century and a third of history, not one business man by occu- patton for the higgest business post on earth
 Under the present national adminis- tration the government has broken down completely on the business side It was 8 Democratic senator who de- clared that under the present manage ment every department had collapsed Through lack of competent business direction the machinery of the govern ment has been so incompetently handled that the situation calls loudly for the services of a salvage corps. Waste, extravaganza, incompetency, inefficiency, have cost the people bil- lions. They have heaped huge bur- edns of taxation on the backs of the people. They have undermined the faith of the people in their govern ment. They near lost the war through the failure to furnish our sol diers at the front with proper equip ment, and through a-debauch of waste at home that brought imitation, pro- fiteering, demoralization in public and private affairs, in it's wake These abuses, due to lack of business sense on the part, primarily, of the president of the United States, still menace the very solvency and safety of the nation.
 Along with all this breakdown in the management of the nations own business affairs, has been a totally wrong attitude on the part of the gov ernment toward legitimate business enterprise, accompanied by an effort to make the government itself the uni versal employer and provider. The machinery of government has been utilized under the camoufiage of war necessity, to >politicalize industry More interested in politics than in business, for which the head of the administrator confesses aristocratic scorn, the aim has been to build up
