"But let us not worry" said Blackie,
for it will mean that there are all

swell, Mrs. Blackie, you did as all
the Mrs. or Miss Black Bears did this
spring. You slept later than any of
the Mr.. Black Bears did. You like to
sleep even more than we do, for you
always go to bed earlier, too.
Il got up in time to have some
skunk cabbage leaves in the very
early spring. or the late winter, for
it was still very cold.
"And too, l had little meal where

superior to other animals.

sleeping so soundly, rolled up in big

"And we're good fighters when we
have to be. We know how to defend
ourselves and our own.
"And you know how to train the
cubs"
"Ah yes" said Mrs. Blackie, "they
are all growing up now, but / have
watched them since they came, poor
little blind things, with little hair and
oh, such tiny cubs as they were at
first.
"How I did look after them! And
I taught them never to let anyone
know the sort of hole they would
sleep In when the winter came. I
taught them they must never let any
one know the sort of home we make
and the kind. To die rather than give
up the secret is the thing!
"And one must tell the young bears
this for they do not know so well as
the older bears that this is most i'm

'"rhey have to be taught. And they
have to be told that they must so
hide themselves that no one will wake
them up in the winter time because
no one will have found them.

coats are fine and black.
"Fve shown them, too, how we leave

Eyes, we must all do things in the
Black Bear fashion, for our fashions
have been tried out by black bears for
years and years. and they've been
found to be very good.
Creatures who change their fash

waste a great deal Of time, so we
black bears think. For when they
could be marketing and getting good
things to eat they are thinking OF
what they shall wear this spring OF

SIR GILBERT PARKER ON
PROHIBITION in u. S.

dined with a member of the present
Harding cabinet whose name is at
least well known in England and all
Europe. He said to me:
81 will tell you what converted me
to the films. When prohibition first
came in the United States, the own
ers of the large factories found their
workmen restless and discontinued.
They brought in the flms-not only
films of a general amusing charac-
ter, but films connected with their
own particular line of business.
What was the result? The men
lost their discomfort. Men drink as
a rule for entertainment. They
found a e entertainment in the
film and became better workmen
through the agency of the Aim. That
condition now exists. / believe. in
most places in America"
Another example. 1 was out In
Arizona when 1t was being turned
from a territory into a state. You
got what you wanted to drink out
there then. A year later the state
went dry. this long before the ma
ton did.
/ went out there again in 1917 and
the s~hopkeepers told me the work
ingmen generally had more money
to spend and spent 1t for better
things as a result of prohibition.
Predicts Beer for U. S.
! want to make a prophecy about
the American dry movement, how
ever. / predict that the United
States will alter its prohibition law
so as to allow American beer to be
used.
I will make another prophecy, too.
I think we will have comparative
prohibition in the United Kingdom
within five years. The women's vote
will do that. and, first of all, in Scot
land.
England will never give up its
beer and l don't think 1t should. The
American climate is totally different
from the English climate. The gloom
of the English winter is very great,
what with the fogs, its dampness, its
sullen skies. That's why We drink
tea over here in the afternoon. 1t is
not habit alone. There is a physco-
logical reason for 1.-THE effect of
the climate upon the human body.

With the Village growing less ar
tistic and more expensive every day,
the artists are scattering in all di-
rections. A small colony settled in
the Old Chelsea section, but is now
being ousted. by the same clever
real estate tactics. Others have
fled the city altogether and have
taken refuge In Brooklyn and in
outlying suburbs. A large group
has taken up it's abode in the for
mer aristocratic Brooklyn Heights.
but with no faith in the permanency
of their security. The Heights so
closely resemble Greenwich Village
in every way that 1t is unreasonable
to suppose a Latin Quarter estab-
lished on their old-fashioned soil
would long escape the attention of
commercial interests. The same is
probably true OF the art colony near
Spuyten Duyvil, Bronxville and New
ed artists. but there has been no
attempt to establish an art quarter
in either suburb.
In fact. the hope of founding
another Greenwich Village in some
other section grows DINNER and
DINNER. What" the artists ask
you would be the use? We would
only be pursued. The only. thing
that can help us is time. Perhaps
in time, the rich and successful
will tire of the Village, realize with
O. Henry that Bohemia is a land of
illusion, and quit. Then We'll all
move back"

Servioe.)
LONDON. Nov. 2.-American pro-
hibition does not always prohibit
and yet, judging from my recent per-
sonal observations .while in the Unit
ed States, Is doing great good.
/ saw an account of how a rich
mans house had been robbed of $780,
600 worth of fine liquors.
II 1 were a workingman that
would almost make q Bolshevik or
at least a Socialist of me.
The Curse of the Laws
That is the curse of American
prohibition laws; the rich man can
NIL his cellar and have a supply on
hand for the rest of his days. The
poor man gets either bootleg whiskey
or nothing at all.
Speaking generally. the execution
of your law is a farce.
There is a we'll known restaurant
In New York where they advertise
wines on their menu cards. This
is against the law. but apparently
the place isn't raided. 1 dined in a
famous New York restaurant with
an American friend. Cocktails were
served openly. There isn't a hotel
in the city where you can't get
liquor.
l drink very. very little. but I am
frankly against prohibition. To be
quite truthful, when 1 was out in
California, 1 found I wanted to drink
a whole lot. There was the excite
ment of cheating the government.
That is, of course, a testing way of
putting 1t.
1 found in California if you paid
the price you could get almost any
kind of drink you wanted. There
was no good gin, but excellent port,
claret and whiskey.
The point is this: there are many
men who want a drink and who
can't afford to pay fifteen or twen-
ty dollars for a bottle of whiskey.
Therefore, if they drink at all they
get rotten stuff.
But in spite of my opposition to
prohibition, / think really the Unit
ed States has immensely profited by
ever the prohibition you have got. I
