this connection 1t is to be regretted
that the public generally have not a

of a chemist We picture a long

there is no science that we should
know more about, and, in reality,
there Is none that we know less
about.

An Ambitious Sheriff.

THE sheriff of Clay County, Kentucky, has hit
i upon most effective means of dealing with
the home dstilling problem. We are not sure that
he has not taken the only steps liable to prove
effective-either in the mountains of the Blue
Grass State in Washington, D. c.
The Kentucky officers system is simple and
thorough. He has set out, with the aid of his
deputies, to arrest every male IL years of age
in the county. He into office determined to
enforce the law. Few people were paying any
attention to it. First the sheriff swore out and
executed sixty warrants. He found he had barely
touched the edge of the disting industry. Only
wholesale arrests would have any effect.

shoot him sight not to have caused any

Half-hearted methods it has been obvious long

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Sometimes when read letters
like the one r. T. S. has written
in the Open Court on Let People

be so selfish, so thoughtless, and
so merciless as to wish for whisky
back again. The one thing in the
world that has caused so much
sorrow and crime. May l ask r.
p. S. has he a sister. and how
would he like that sister to marry
and then have her husband turn
out to be a whisky drinker. Maybe
he would drink moderately, but
this is a great chance to take. Has
he a brother and how would he
like to see him rolling out of some
saloon. maybe to return home to
some good woman he has made his
wife.

to let my daughter go out. She
cannot come in contact with men

you wish whisky. wine and beer
back again you are not thinking of

You argue that whisky is recon-

Repeating r. p. SIS words. this is

Chivalry of Men.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
In these days of woman's inva =
sion OF fields foreign to her since
,woman's metamorphosis in all her
modes of life. one often hears of
the persistent clamor OF the fair sex
that man Of today has lost the ster-
ling quality of chivalry.
Not long ago, fair damsel put
up TO me the following query. Are
Men Chivalrous?" In answer to this
question l did not hesitate to say
yes" told her that men are
the only creatures of the Supreme
Almighty that have never been
changed by the magic hand Of
Father Time. That chivalry is one
of the most edifying and noble
qualities that God has bestowed
upon the first man Adam" and this
quality has been the precious heri-
tage preserved and handed down
through ages from generation to
generation OF man. Chivalry is an
essential ingredient in the makeup
of man. Chivalry was. Is and will
be the crowning pride OF man.
am sorry for the fair damsel be-
cause she has not yet met a chival-
rous man. Many a woman of today
thinks that man does not possess
that God given quality which is
chivalry. They seem TO think that
men of this age are not chivalrous;
that there are no such animals as
chivalrous men. Chivalrous men
shall never disappear from the
world. they are found in every
stratum OF life.
] see the reason why the girl OF
today never meets a chivalrous
man, because she is too modern
and chivalrous man avoids meeting
ultra modern" girls because the
behavior, the dress. and the beauty
aids used b. the ultra modern girls
are repugnant to sensible, chival-
rous men. The girls of today have
not only lost that innate modesty
of their grandmothers, but have
even gone farther by repudiatinG
the dicta Of good taste and sensible
dressing. They have modernized
themselves and their moderniza-
ton has baffled chivalrous man be-
cause such modernization has gone
beyond the limit of good common
sense.
How can you expect that men of
today render the homage of chiValrS
to ultra-modern girls when these
do not have the slightest concep-
ton of self-respect? The girls OF
our time have scarcely clothes on
them: their legs and necks are
naked and they think that with
such STYLES they look mighty
smart. but in the eyes Of senst-
BILE. chivalrous man they look ridic-
uIous and contemplate. These
ultra modern girls mar their faces
with paints and dyes so that they
look to chivalrous men like carl
catures." In other words. they
challenge nature instead Of i'm
proving what Dame Nature has
given them.
In conclusion. II the girls Of the
modern age really look for chtval-
rous men they can find them u
they change their ways OF living
and behaviors. That hey should
dress sensible. moderate the use OF
facial toilette. exercise control in
the enjoyment OF good time" and
finally. they should be modest and
endeavor to possess that lovely
womanish demeanor and clbrm
then 1 am very sure that modern
girls will find chivalrous men show
ering flowers at their feet.
