When that warm, pink bin Of humanity
whom you have proudly and hopeful,
named after his father, snuggles down
among the snowy blankets and carriage
robes in his carriage and you wheel him
down the street, you are terribly proud
Of Junior. of course. but aren't you a
wee bit proud of his lovely buggy and
blankets, his tiny beribbOned bonnet and
the buggy strap to which his little pink
fingers cling 50 tightly?
And there is no reason why YOU should
not be when you have expended 50 much
time and energy selecting his bassinet-
we almost said trousseau-for being born
requires quite as many things as being
married. II YOU can sew, OF course, you

darling things for the new arrival in the

Juniors feet must not be allowed to get
cold. Lttle yarn bootees are most com
monty worn by the tiny tots. Hand
knitted are those found in one store on
Broadway, and trimmed in pale blue or
pink, depending on whether the baby
be Junior or not. Then there are tiny,
heavy-ribbed silk sOx. almost large
enough to put a thumb in, but easily
washed and serviceable. japanese shoes
and slippers may be had in either pink
or blue, embroidered in the same color,
or may be white embroidered in either
Of the aforementioned shades. These
have silk cords run in around the tops
which tie kiddies shoes on. The Japan

HAND-ENBROEDERED
DRESS IS Essential
When Junior goes out riding he must
be dressed in his best, OF course, for is
he not the most wonderful baby there

suitably dressed2 A hand-embroidered
dress, even though you can not embroid-

beautiful hand-embroidered dresses at
some Of the stores down town and the
embroidery is wonderfully done. A
cloak Of broadcloth and bonnet Of some
dainty material are next necessary. Down

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l deplore the lack of vision dis
played in your attitude toward our more
or less worthy Mayor Here is q man
who by sheer idealism has lifted him
self from the screech and grind of
brakes into an appreciation of band
music. For several years he has had
the faithful services of the police band
of one hundred players. Surely no
potentate of Europe or Asia ever had so
costly private band What though the
citizens are paying them for doing po-
lice duty and the Commi ssioner is ask
ing for more men? Who knows what
tender beneficent schemes have come Ia
the Mayoral bosom under the soothing
influence of little Jazz?

Undoubtedly it would not be surpris-
ing if few members of the medical
profession could be found to reecho
the propaganda of the liquor men; but
the profession knows very well, and has
not hesitated to say so vigorously, that
it does not need and does not want al
cohol as a medicine and has refused to
be drawn into the dirty work of dis
tributing liquor as professional duty
or privilege.
Next your correspondent takes up the
old Islander that, in the absence of the
good liquor formerly supplied, the
whole community is being poisoned by
the bad liquor surreptitiously made
end distributed. On the other hand,
the evidence is convincing that the
amount of such new liquor is very
small and that the alleged bad liquor
was in stock before prohibition went
into effect.
Respecting the denial that the jails
and prisons have been having a steady
diminution of inmates, / have seen
many statements by wardens that such
was the case, some without prisoner
left. There may be other prisons in
which the reduction of inmates has not
been so rapid. The charge of a police
commissioner that SO per cent of the
liquor captured was found to be vile is
plausible enough, for in the face of the
risk OF loss by surreptitious trade only
the vilest of the liquor in stock would
be risked outside the warehouses.
Your CORES pondent has ignored the
fact that the women of this country had
anything to do with the enactment of
prohibition. Long, long ago l de-

IN the next paragraph your CORE
spondent thinks it is time for those
who have their country's welfare at
heart to weigh the result with open
minds and Judge whether to continue
attempted" prohibition or to take the
middle course, i. e., reasonable and
scientific regulation to bring about tenn
perance!
In the sense in which the word tenn
perance is used it is a mere euphemism
to hide a false doctrine. The assump-
ton is that the moderate use Of alcohol
is temperance; when the truth is that
alcohol, ethyl hydrate, Ca H. OH, is a
product of decomposition, of decay, and
is unfit TO enter the human stomach in
any quantity or percentage whatever
The defners of words have as acute
mentalities as any, and many decades
ago they defined and explained the
name alcoholic be chat of a sub
portions, WAS used in all the countries
Of the world for the purpose of effect
ing intoxication."
Next he says: THAT what we do want
is sanlty-you cannot bring about viz
tue with club. 1t must come from
conviction, brought about by cduca-
ton" His words assert toe much
they prove nothing. They are just as
applicable to every sort of legal re-
striction by penalties for attractions OF
the moral code. Yet we spend countless
millions of dollars to restrain malefac-
tors Of every class and degree.

toned at the time indicated he had less
the British Consul, and only one-quar
ter of the staff Of the German Consul,
while ne had as much work to do as
the British and German consuls to-
gether. BY this mean compulsory rou-
tine work appertaining to the Office Of
consul. The German Consul, as usual, had
number of commercial spies to look
after, and the British Consul had cor
tain special aspects of trade to watch,
but the expenses attached to these ex-
ira services were fully allowed for by
the respective governments.
Another American Consul I knew
later was stationed at seaport of
some Importance. His staff consisted of
one boy, while the British Consul at
the place had deputy, two clerks and
boy and the German Consul controlled
staff of six. The salary of the Brit
,, ish Consul, with his allowances, totalcd
of the American Consul, and should
think that England and Germany each
spent at least six times as much on
their consulates in this town, as was
expended on that of America. Needless
to say, the American consuls have not
enough income to do the smallest en-
| tertaining, or even to make friends
among the important people of their
districts, with whom it is really nee.
cssary that they should come into con-
tact.
For long time reforms in the con-
sular service Of the United States have
been promised, and it is evidently the
intention of the present Administration
to take up the matter seriously, but the
changes will have to be very radical to
have much effect. 1t will probably be
found that the average salary Of the
consul should be at least doubled, and
the average staff trebled in number,
while many consuls should be appointed
to places where none now exist.
Observe the nature Of the competition
which the average American Consul has
to meet. The British consular service,
which before its reorganization by Wis
count Chen Sir Edward) Grey, in 1895,
was almost red tape symbol, is prob
ably now the most efficient in the world
from purely representative point of
view, and its ramifcations for obtain
ing trade information, with the assist
ance of commercial attaches. are not
likely to be surpassed for many years
by any country.
But the British service does not
adopt the German methods for secur-
ing trade. 1t obtains complete and
accurate information, and sees that
this is conveyed to the industries con-
cerned without loss of time. The i'm
formation is general in its character,
particularly facts relating to private
trading concerns remaining untouched
unless they have general bearing.
On the other hand, tho German Consul
makes it his special business to en-
ter into details Of trade and industry
in his district. AS far as possible he
will know every factory within his
domain, and will keep au courant with
its doings by means of spy inside or
outside of the establishment.

Saving Westminster Abbey
American Aid Still Needed to Pre-
serve the Historic Shrine

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: About six months ago ven
tured to ask the people Of America to
assist their British brethren in the
preservation of Westminster Abbey,
that great monument and tabernacle
OF the English-speaking race, which
was then in state of some peril ow-
ing to the rsvages of time and the
elements.
AS hoped and expected, America
was generous, even in these days of
multiplied demands and steadily dimin-
lshing incomes. Your people con-
tributed about $4,000 to the fund, q
great part of which, 100000, came from
the Carnegie Endowment for Peace.
The Anglo-American Oil Company in
London also sent another $4,000,
while Americans then in England did
not fail to help. Altogether the United
States has been responsible for more
than e25,000 of the total of 100000
which has now been raised
The fund itself was started on St.
Peters Day, June go, 1920, so the Dean
of Westminster entertained the trus-
tees, the committee and others econ
nccted with the undertaking at dinner
in the Jerusalem chamber of the alb
hey on June 20 of this year, marking a
years progress by pleasant and mem
orable gathering.
Naturally enough, he expressed the
gratitude not of himself alone, nor of
the chapter and trustees, but of the
unnumbered millions of the English
speaking peoples past, present and to
come, to those who had helped to pre-
serve the abbey from deterioration
and decay. He pointed out how gifts
