Not the Time to DisarIm,
Harding Tells Quakers
Special Despatch to THE New YORK
HERALD.

Special Despatch to THE New York
HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c.. March rs.
president HARDING made
it plain to a delegation OF
the Society of Friends of Phila-
delphia at the White House to-
day that he does not believe the
time opportune for the United
States to start on a policy OF
disarmament. The delegation
learned after presenting a me-
mortal asking such a course that
it is not Mr.. Harding's purpose
to recommend to Congress at this
time any curtailment Of the
naval building programme.
Mr.. Harding's position seemed
to be that while he is in favor
of disarmament as principle, so
many elements enter into the
situation at this time that it
hardly would be becoming for
the United States to take the
lead in the movement.
1t is his hope that some time
in the future disarmament may
be brought about, but not so long
as misunderstanding in foreign
affairs and lack of agreement
among nations as to the proper
aims in international questions
lead them to increase their
armies and navies.

in order at the April term, and the
Hanna case probably will be put on the
list for April. 1t Is now said.

PHYSICIAN OBJECTS
TODRY RESTRAINT
DR.. McCaskey DenOunces Pro-
hibitiOn Office Here as a
Mad House,
APPEALS TO WASHINGTON
'For Gods Sake, Be a Man, He
Writes to Commissioner
Kramer.

DR.. Donald McCaskey OF "a West Fifty
ninth street last night sent a letter 10
Federal Prohibition Commissioner John
F. Kramer, severely criticisng the regu-
lations limiting the use of whiskey for
medicinal purposes and complaining of
the treatment he had received NJ the
hands OF Director Charles r. O'Connor in
this city.
The regulations complained of limits a
physician to prescribing a pint of liquor
every ten days for any individual pa
tient. and DR.. McCaskey points out that
whether or not a patient Is In dire need
of an additional supply physicians are
powerless to serve.
II have in some cases on my own in
itiative issued two prescriptions in ten
days feeling that what l was doing was
1ustihable because l was saving a life"
DR.. McCaskey said. 1T is my firm con-
viction that a physician should have the
prerogative of giving prescriptions for
liquors as often as he deems necessary"
DR.. McCaskey's letter to Commissioner
Kramer follows:
"Your Federal prohibition director for
the State. Mr.. O'Connor. refused to give
me anything In writing as to why he
would not give me a prescription book
for my patients. After ten personal in
terviews with him all he substantially
said was to write you.
Calls ONCE q Mad House.
"I have some sick patients and they
need whiskey. Several OF them need
more than one pint In ten days as the
law prescribes to facilitate their cure. In
about eight or ten instances / issued
two prescriptions in less than ten days.
"Your New York office is a madhouse.
spent the best Of two afternoons trying
to get action. First a girl passed the
buck to young chap and he In turn
stalled as long as he could, and when
l demanded some action he called in the
acting director, who said his name was
Nolan. He also stalled and told me to
come back In two days
For Gods sake be man. even IL you
are the Prohibition Director. and get me
fixed up"
Mr.. Nolan said last night that he had
talked with DR.. McCaskey, and as the
latter had said he had violated the regu-
lations sent here from Washington he
was powerless to help the physician.
Section II OF Article VIII. of the ma
tional prohibition act governing physi-
clans prescriptions says:
BLANK prescriptions. form 1903. are
issued by the commissioner in book
form. eerially numbered and may be
procured free of cost by any physician
holding a permit to prescribe intoxicat-
ing liquor from the director.
The New York herald., 1921-03-24
Refuses to Modify Rule.

1.-THE director should not issue more
than one book of such prescription
blanks to the physician at one time.
However. a physician may procure a
book of blanks when the blanks re-
naming in his possession are not suffi-
cient to cover his needs for n reasonable
period of time. Each book contains 100
single prescription blanks"
There have been many complaints by
reputable physicians that the above law
was being violated when regulations
were sent out by Commissioner Kramer
limiting one book OF prescription blanks
for each month.
The drastic regulation was issued be-
cause a few physicians had been caught
overprescrib!ng In more or less needed
cases. Commissioner Kramer has re-
fused repeatedly to modify the new rule
and has so instructed his subordinates
throughout the country.

sion on the subject.
Music is one of the good things Of

mon with other blessings, Is as readily
available to those who live in the open
country as to those who dwell in the

'.In the old days music was an i'm

Community singing should he re-
vived generally.

WAYS TO SERVE VEGETABLES
Simple Methods Are Better for Chill
drsn Than Complicated Ones
Like SeaiIoping.

Vegetables may be served either
quite simply seasoned with salt or
with a little milk. cream. or butter. to
improve or vary the flavor. Oil may
be used to dress green's instead of but
ter. These simple methods are bet
ter for children than complicated ones
like frying or scalloping. For the
smallest children. chop finely such
vegetables as green's, and If the
tougher portions OF other vegetables,
such as the skins OF green peas, are
found to disagree with child. re-
move them by putting the cooked
vegetable through a sieve. DO not
give small children such vegetables as
raw radishes or cucumbers. which
might easily lie swallowed in large
pieces and not digest well.

New York.-Three armed bandits
In an automobile forced the driver of
a mail truck to stop OnIlOwer Broad
way while they rifled the truck Of four
pouches of registered mail, valued at
$l,OOOOOO by postal authorities.
The truck was OH Its way from
the city hall station to the Pcnnsyl-
vanfa railroad terminal with SEVEN
teen pouches OF mail, eleven Of them
containing registered matter. The
driver had gone only few blocks
when green automobile containing
three men drew alongside. They con-
frOnted him with drawn revOlvers and
ordered him to slow down.
At Leonard street two men jumped
from the automobile onto the truck
and ordered the driver to get down
from his seat. One held a revolver to
the drivers head. he said, while the
other pointed his weapon ut his stOm-
ach.
Forcing the driver to turn over the
key, one bandit unlocked the cage and
paved over the pouches inside. Se-
lecting four, he transferred them to
the automobile which stood ut the
curb with its motor running. After
threatening to 'blOw his brains out"
IL lie moved, the driver said, the trio
moved off Broadway west through
Leonard street and disappeared.
The driver, Frank Havranick, 81,
said that after satisfying himself his
life was no longer in danger, he got
back on the truck and drove to the
Beach street police station. A general
alarm for the green automobile was
sent out ut once and postal inspectors
summoned.
The driver, when questioned by
postal inspectors, said that he had
looked in vain for II policeman. The
wholesale dry goods district around
Broadway and Worth street Is gener-
ally deserted at night and there Is lit
tie street traffic after business hours.
Havranick was able TO furnish the
postal inspectors with part OF the IL
cense number of the car.
