Editor, The Silver State: Referring
to your editorial regarding the prohi-
bition question-and 1t certainly is a
question about which something
MUST be done one way or the other.
and the sooner the better. There is
no doubt but that great majority of
the people prefer prohibition thai
does not prohibit" to the old condi-
tons of the open saloon and its at
tendant evils of treating and robbery.
But 1t is evident that the present law
cannot be strictly enforced even with
an army OF enforcement officers at
great public expense. Many people
feel that something is wrong when it
is unlawful to buy sweet apple cider
or other fruit juices and allow same
TO ferment and become intoxicating
for their own use. We know the IL
quor habit has been acquired by
many people, and that If the law were
strictly enforced so that 1t would be
impossible to obtain liquor, that other
and worse stimulants would be used
In fact, the claim is made that the
use of opium and other habit-forming
drugs has greatly increased since the
enactment of the prohibitory law.
II has long been the opinion of the
writer that the Anti-Saloon League
should have lived up to its name and
confined its efforts to getting rid of
the saloon. The sentiment behind
such law would have been practi-
cally unanimous. and the matter of
enforcement would have been simple
A long first step would have been
taken toward the correction of our
country's greatest curse. True, It
would be possible to secure liquor
elsewhere. but the number of men, or
women, who would become intoxi-
Gated would be comparatively small
as the old excuse that one must drink
to be sociable would be removed. OF
course under these conditions the
man who desired to get drunk could
easily do so, but 1t is believed that
conditions. on the whole, would i'm
prove with the passage of time. II
not, 1t would lead up to your fourth
consideration, viz, the sale of liquor
under government regulation which
you evidently favor. This could be
effectively done and at much less ex-
pense than the attempt to enforce the
present law.
The writer believes that all your
questions regarding this solution of
the prohibition question can be an
swered In the Affirmative. That the
bootleg menace would be Immediately
stopped; the army of enforcement OFF,
GERS now on duty could be fired, and
the revenue obtained as tax on the
iiquor sold would relieve other bust
ness of at least part of the heavy
taxation now imposed. Most decided
ly It would not be "a step backward
Yours very truly.

tain atoms become transformed, caus- ing an explosion at the given mo- fragments, one of which, the alpha particle, is projected in one direction, whereas the remaining atoms is pro- jected in an inverse direction Thus, by one, and the evolution continues until all the atoms are transformed.
 ''In the same way, the emanation is transformed into alpha rays and an active depot which itself is composed of several successive substances"
 Radium's Ancestor.
 Mime. Curie says that knowing how many atoms there are in each gram of the substance and how many parti- cles have been given forth in one atoms have been transformed), one knows the fraction of atoms trans formed during one second. and can calculate the time necessary for the transformation of one-half the atom. It is in this way that the period of radium has been estimated at 1,600 years.
 By the ingenious system of experi- mentS, it has been possible to deter mine that radium is a descendant of uranium and to verify the production | of radium from it's direct ancestor, ionium. The demonstration could not | have been made, Mime. Curie says, except for the extremely sensitive methods at the disposal of scientists | for the measurements of radium. | The two most important applica- tions of radio elements, according to Mime. Curie, are in the preparation of luminous paints and in therapy 1 based on the employment of radio active bodies as therapeutic agents. l Luminous paints" she says, make use of the property possessed by the rays of exciting hourescence. These paints are generally made by incor- porating small quantities of radiun1 +I<r- with I x;,, properly prepared. The substance thus prepared presents a spontaneous luminosity which does not depend or a previous illumination, as does that of a phosphorescent substance after exposure to the sun- A beautiful green luminosity can be obtained the intensity of which depends on the content in the radio,active substances
 'The price of the radio elements being very high, this content is gen. orally small and the Illuminating power is very moderate. On the oth
 CT hand, these feebly luminous pre-

parations remain unaltered for a long time, whereas the luminous mixtures with relatively higher radium content gradually change under the action of radiation.
 Experience has shown that lum- fnous preparations of feeble intensity may be easily seen in the dark, and are capable of giving various kinds of service First of all, the luminous
 mixture has been used for the hands, l the figures and the divisions of
 watches have been particularly wide ] ly used during the war.
 Tn general, the use of luminous paints was considerably extended during the war for the improvement of measuring apparatus used in the
 army and in the navy. These include various markings, graduationS and figures which had to be rendered wis | ible in the dark. Other popular ap- | p1ications are the use of signs in the
 rear of vehicles to prevent collisions, | the putting up of indicators in trenches to show directions, sc. | Although military uses have obvi-
 ously diminished, similar applications
 are quite possible in times of peace. | In particular there is the illumination | of dark paSSag geS in mines or in other
 places where it is dangerous to strike
 a light; also the illumination of push
 buttons and locks; of names of streets, sc. Here is a natural exten-
 sion of applicability which cannot
 fail to increase and is limited only by the net cost

LABOR SHORTAGE ACUTE.

Honolulu, T. H., Aug. 24.-Shortage of labor in the coffee and tobacco in iustries of Hawaii has become so acute that the trustees of the Bishop Estate one of the largest 1and-owning com binations in the islands, have sus- pended all rent collections from ten ant-farmers for the period of one year, beginning last January l, and for as much longer as the s1tua- ton warrants, it was announced here recently. Stagnation has seized the industries due to labor shortage and sharp declines in prices offered for the crops, it was said
 The suspension order affects 235 tenants, occupying approximately D. poo acres of coffee and tobacco lands, the trustees said. Since the first of .ne year their rents aggregated ap- proximately S7,00O and will total more than s13,Ooo for the entire year If suspension, the trustees said

The first meeting of creditors of Leo McGrath, operating small confec- was held yesterday morning before Judge John J. Keogh. Although it is understood that but a small ssock re- mains in the store, Attorney Maurice Reich was appointed trustee, under bonds of $500.
 A first meeting of creditors was likewise held in the matter of Solo mon CheshenSky, operating a grocery in Fairfield on the Post Road. and also conducting a lunch room and a grocery on Boston avenue, this city Attorney Si1verstone, who has been acting as receiver, was made trustee, under bonds of $2,O0O.

If your eyes or lids are sore; if they itch, burn or feel dry; if your vision is blurred, your eyesight dim; go to your druggist and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets.

 STUDENT LIFE TOO COSTLY.
 Paris, Aug. 24.-The increased cost of student life in Paris is prevent ing families of moderate means from allowing their sons to take up a lib eral career. The monthly budget of a student living in the Latin Quarter is given by an investigator in Excel sior as TAO francs.
 At the present rate of exchange this is equivalent to about S60 a month.

Cleveland, Aug. 24-A striking in dication of the worlds progress was shown here recently when the one hun dred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the city's founding was celebrated. At that time a letter written in 1896 on the occasion of the centennial cele- bration was read It contained the following question, to be answered now:
 Have women the right to vote?"
 Has prohibition been achieved? 9"
 Has the North Pole been discov- ered?"
 Have people learned to f1y?"

MONEY INTERESTS
LAUNDERING FORD

New York, Jan. 31.-Evidences of
determination by certain Wall Street
interests to force Henry Ford to sur
render control Of his business were
multiplying here today when the
Dow-Jones financial service put out
the following:
"Detroit-Henry, Ford has reached
his limit. 1t is beyond the powers
of any one man to raise money and
carry forward single handed the man
fold enterprises in which he has
started. John d. Rockefeller at 55,
with more than 25 multimillionaire
workers around him, had to divest
vest himself of the organization and
get out to save his skin. He saved
his skin, but lost every hair on it.
His hair had then not even turned
gray. Doctors said he had nervous
dyspepsia; and only a new stomach
gotten from exercise and open air
could save his life.
"Henry Ford is not Millionaire,
although the Ford Motor Co., has
earned more than $100000,000 in a.
single year, which is more than
Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey earned before the
court dissolved it. Rockefeller kept
his organization. Henry Ford has de-
stroyed his organization in way to
give rise to very serious inquiry.
"Day after day designations are
announced from the Ford orgsniza-
ton and various explanations have
been given to Indicate that officials
disagreed with Mr.. Ford and re-

"Now the truth is, THOUGH it has
never before been told, that Henry
Ford has fired them one after an
other.

COLUMBUS MAKES
FINE IMPRESSION
ON NEW YORKER
George c. Fraser Writing In Century
Magazine Has Many Nice Things
To Say About Columbus.

In an article entitled "a Fortnight
Away From Home" George C.
Fraser, of New York, writing IN the
Century Magazine for December, has
many interesting things to say of
Mississippi and her leading towns.
Columbus was included in Mr.. Fra
ser's itinerary and comes in for a
write-up in this famous national
magazine.
Mr.. Fraser writes, in part, as fol-
lows:
From Macon to Columbus our
road ran through intensively cult
waited farms devoted largely to stock,
alfalfa, corn and other forage crops,
with less frequent cotton fields than
one would expect to find here IN the
cotton belt -. Columbus, well-to-
do town, is perched on a bluff at the
head of navigation of the Tombigbee
River, on the edge of the Black
Prairie belt. Here the owners of the
rich black land live luxuriously in
columned colonial houses, leaving
their farms to be worked by Negroes,
and shipping their produce, largely
cotton, on barges to Mobile. So well
satisfied were they with their natural
situation and facilities that it is re-
lated a substantial bonus was paid
the promoters of the Mobile & Ohio
to lay out and construct their railway
at distance from the town. 1t is
we'll described by its sobiquet, "The
Sleeping Beauty"
Late Sunday afternoon, walking
about the residence portion, we stop
ped TO admire a stately mansion sur
rounded by a garden with roses in
bloom, and blue and delicately shaded
white violets and wild Strawberries
growing on the lawn. The owner de-
cended from the porch, addressed
me, and after mutual introductions,
invited mes into his house and pre-
sented us to his wife. By their cor
diality and courtesy we were tempted
to pay long call. Such courtesy
and consideration were not except
ional; we encountered them often
from persons both of high and low
degree.
Here, as elsewhere, prosperity
and its concomitant extravaganza
were outstanding. The restaurant
and soft-drink dispensaries were fill
ed. Motors, mostly of the higher
priced varieties, ran through town
all evening, filled with pleasure
parties returning from rides in the
country"
