IF WORK BORES YOU

Does your job bore youi Does it become monotonousf II so,
there are plenty of peculiar and fascinating occupations in the world,
from which you can take your choice.
One job that never gets dull is held by J. Clark, Of the govern
ments biological survey. Clark is champion cougar hunter of North
America, a delightful occupation that has no rival unless it be lead
ing a lion with a rope in a circus parade.
Cougars have been killing many sheep in British Columbia. So
the authorities there sent for Clark. He goes about the work in a
matterof-fact way like a man chasing a fly with a swatter.
But il the truth were known, Clark's work probably bores him.
Thrills cease to be thrills when they are everyday occurrences.
DR.. Johannes Schmidt, Danish scientist, has one Of the most pc
culiar jobs. He is the worlds greatest expert on migrations of the eel
II was Schmidt who made the startling discovery" that all eels
about this time of year go, or want to go to a depth of 500 fathoms
off the coast of the Virgin islands, West Indies. There they spawn
and die.
Schmidt now is on his way for another study of cells in American
waters. Is his work thrilingH It's certainly unique.
Hatfield and others are professional rain-makers. Some men de-
vote their lives to catching rats. The state of Oregon has a profes
sional sealion killer.

Carry your train of thought into the common occupations. Why
does one maturing boy lose interest in everything except laying
bricks, while another sidetracks everything else in life to concentrate

ing boards or keeping booksi
The job you eventually settle on is the one you were intended Il
do. A supreme intelligence has so decreed-and always keeps a flint
balance, just enough becoming farmers, carpenters, statesmen, mechan

We are here on earth for a definite purpose, each of us, though
we are puppets with a supreme intelligence pulling the strings.

MEDICINAL" BEER

THE treasury departments ruling on medicinal" beer in states
where il has any effect at all, will serve TO hasten the inevitable
= show down N prohibition enforcement. Whatever we may
think of the ruling of h. internal revenue bureau, and many OF us DO
not think mush Of il, its effect is 10 permit a doctor TO prescribe and
a druggist TO sell at one time and as frequently as necessary for
patients who need medicine, I" two quarts Of wine and ten quarts Of
real beer with a kick in Tin those states where state laws do not
forbid. The ruling is construed to apply only in California, Connect
cut, Massachusetts,, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin, Rhode Island, Louisiana and Maryland. Elsewhere state
laws prohibit the use Of medicinal beer or limit 1t to small quantities.
The antiprohibnion advocates appear TO regard this ruling as a
victory. If it is a victory at all il will be shortIived. The number OF
doctors who will write fake prescriptions is limited. The number OF
druggists who want to go into the liquor business at this stage OF its
disrepute and to be classed with the general run OF bootleggers' is
equally limited. Attempts in that direction will tighten rather than
let down the lines of law enforcement. Watch il work out.
The liquor traffic is not coming back legally. The present QUERY
about non reinforcement is coming from both sides. Its effect is to IN
crease the demand for law enforcement. Watch that work out.
When antiprohibition propagandsts point to non-enforcement
and lax enforcement as proof that a minority put over prohibition
ON this nation, we have but to turn back to 1917, before New Mexico
amended legal booze out of the state, to find that 20 OF the 25l3
counties in the United States, 2330 were ON the dry list; only 2l3
were legally wet. II is from a minority in these 2l3 counties that the
cutlery for repeal of national prohibition is coming. From the ma
jority of communities is coming the rising tide of demand for en-
forcement Of prohibition law.

ON TRAIL

MISSOURI cattle grower, moved no doubt by the difference be
N tween the price he gets for fat steers and the price the public
~ pays for steaks, has offered TO the mayor Of Kansas City 90 head
Of fat cattle, 10 be killed, prepared and sold by the city at the prevail.
ing retail prices.
The offer was made, the grower explained. to permit the city gov
eminent TO determine by careful study and check Of the costs involved,
whether the packers or retail meat dealers were receiving the larger
slice Of profits from the sale Of meats.
A tendency has been noted in Kansas City, as elsewhere, toward
passing the buck on butcher profits, from packer to retailer and back
again.
Mayor Cowgirl has accepted the offer, according to the Kansas
CITY Star. The mayor has announced that he will employ competent
butchers, expert packers, cutters, clerks, etc, to prepare the product
for delivery to customers and that it will be sold from a suitable store
at prevailing market prices in the residence districts
Particular care will be taken, the mayor said, to compute the cost
OF preparing the meats in exactly the same condition as they would
be delivered to retail stores by ono of the big packing concerns, so
that the experiment would reveal the comparative profits Of packers
and dealers.
It looks as if this experiment might trail the elusive profit in
meats to lis lair.

Value of a Smile
By DIR. WILLIAM Z. BARTON

some men have lost that power
through other than electrical causes,
and u has damaged them more than
that amount.
Even when the cash value is small.
II Ia real. Many a waiter loses a up
because he serves the food as II he
we're at onmity with all flesh; and
many another one has built up a sub
stantial bank account on h basis OF
his ability 10 show a pleasant disposi-
ton.
Only last week I went TO a rcataur-
ant where the waitress, for no cause
known 10 me, acted as N she hated
ali humanity. That did not increase
her tip: and on the next day. when
found myself In the same locality
at lunch time, 1 went TO another
restaurant.
But 1t is to ones own self that one
renders the greatest damage by un'
civil looks. The mar or woman wh'
can no longer smile has killed JOY GU
OF his WI life.
IL is not the giggle nor the simpsl
that Is wanted, nor yet the lou!
| laugh that beapeaks the vacant MIND.
hut the cheerful smile that grows GU

Progress in Prohibition
CKansas city start

That prohibition enforcement II
possible but that Il IL necessarily a
matter of slow development and de-
ponds for its effectiveness largely up
on the attitude and direct support OF
the public. are all evident from tho
statement OF the national prohibition
commissioner relative TO the situa-
ton In Missouri. The statement Is a
direct tribute to the Law Enforcement
Association OF Kansas city. which II
given credit for active cooperation
with the police and federal enforce
mcut officers.
Before dlscounting the intimation
OF the commissioner that progress ~
being made toward prohibitory law
enforcement In Missouri, particularly
in Kansas City, Il should be rcmcm-
hcrcd hat progress In this respect
does not mean complete effectiveness.
Progress can be determined only when
o. comparison Is made with condition.
a year ago or two years ago. and
there are few u any who. viewing
the situation In this light. Will all to
note improvement.
There has. hecn undue skepticism
about prohibition enforcement be-

become operative. The attitude tina
