film TELLS THE STORY
"Victims of Alcohol Are Shown in
Cinema Presented by French
Delegate

[ AS the closing item of the great last
night OF the Convention there was
shown in Massey Hall an anti-alcohol
film which had been brought over by
Gustave Cauvin, Of Lyons France.
This film, which was entitled "The
Victims OF Alcohol" depicted in the
most graphic manner the results of
the use of Intoxicating liquors and es-
pecially of the use of wine. The open
ing scene pictured a happy French
home, with husband wife, boy and
girl in the midst Of comfortable sur
roundings. Then was represented the
husbands first drink of wine in tav-
ern, and this scene was followed by
others depicting, step by step, the grad
ual addiction OF the husband and
father to drink, until one night he re-
turns to his home intoxicated His
brotherin-law has just preceded him
to his home, and is in the midst of a
happy visit, when the drunken man
enters, throwing all present into con
sternation and grief Another scene
shows the man secretly drinking from
a bottle in the Office OF his employer.
He is detected in the act and dis
missed. Having lost his job he seeks
to drown his trouble in further indul-
gence, The wife needs money for the
rent, her brother gives it to her, and
she places it in purse in sideboard
drawer, where it is discovered in her
absence by the drunken father who,
with great glee, pockets it and goes off
to the saloon again.
Things. go from bad TO worse, and
the family is finally eyfcted for failure
to pay the rent. What is left OF the
household goods by the landlord is
piled on a cart and the father takes up
the shafts to draw it, while the boy
pushes, and the mother, with the little
girl in her arms, thinly clad and bare
headed, follows close behind. Their
new abode is a poor attic, with mean,
rough furniture, typical drunkard's
home.
Years pass; the girl develops tubcr-
culosis, owing to exposure and lack of
proper nourishment; while the boy,
following in his fathers footsteps, also
frequents the saloon, is mixed up in a
burglary and arrested in his home to
the great anguish of his mother and
sister, the drunken father looking on
indifferently. The boy is sent to
prison; the husband still out Of work,
drinks all the liquor he can get; and
the girl becomes more and more ema-
ciated by disease, the mothers cup of
misery running over. Becoming des-
perate, the latter places brasier ON
the floor OF the room, lights the char
coal in it, and, placing her arms about

her girl resigns herself and child to
the death which speedily overtal<cs
them. The drunken husband, on his
return, seems to realize in a lucid mo-
ment what his drunkenness has done
He becomes a raving maniac, and is
placed in a padded cell, to spend the
remaider of his days.
The pictures were all OF them beau
tifully clear and Mr.. Cauvin was as
sisted in their presentation by Mr..
Otto Fokert and Miss Ida A. Green,
who interpreted for the audience the
legends of the various scenes, which
were printed in French. Mr.. Cauvin's

remarks were characterized by great
force and imprcssiveness He has a
powerful voice; and his observations,
made in the darkened hall, were dra-
matte in their effect. On the presen-
tation of the final scene, Mr.. Cauvin,
raising his voice to high pitch, de-
clared that revolution of the people,
fostered by proper organization, was
the remedy for the drink evil. With
the picture of the victim of alcohol in
a padded cell before them, this utter
ance of Mr.. Cauvin's startled the au-
dience, and furnished a most effective
finale.

presented on the last day of the Conyen-
ton, was one of the most elaborate and.
striking pageants. Whisky, Wine and
Beer were represented by typical figures
of distiller, barkeeper and a brewer,
with barrel very much in evidence.
These parties looked indiiferently upon'-
groups clad in black representing Misery.
Vice, Crime Disease and Death which.
filed ON the stage. Whisky, Wine and
Beer began to show some uneasiness as a
group of crusaders bearing weapons
marked with the letters of the word
Prohibition, marched toward them, and
finally under the leadership OF mall
clad figure bearing the word Truth, the
Prohibition hosts drove the three des,
pots from the state and in triumphant
closing scene the black-clad figures threw
off their covering and stood revealed as
the representatives of all nations of the
world in their typical native costumes. ~

LITTLE CONVENTION
- STORIES

From Otto Forkert, newspaper re-
porter Of Geneva, Switzerland, came
the story of the movement against al
coholism among Swiss young people.
The speaker told of the organization
of an international body by the Euro
pean producers of intoxicants and of
its efforts to counteract the influence
of temperance propaganda both in Eu-
rope and America. The organization,
he said, had wonderful press con
trolled by its own periodicals, and was
backed by unlimited financial re-
soutces. In spite OF these facts $780,
600 young people in Germany and
Switzerland had enrolled in anti-alco-
holism societies.

SHEEP LOSS NOT DUE
TO POISONED WATERS

The libel of poisonous water has
been lifted from one OF Wyoming's
lakes. Several weeks ago a band OF
sheep, belonging to Sam johnson OF
Medicine Bow, while en- route from
summer range on the Medicine Bow
National~Forest, suffered a loss OF
over 800 head, in the vicinity of a
small lake nea the forest. Lacking
definite knowledge as to the cause of
the deaths a story to the effect that
the water in the lake poisoned the
sheep was started and was given wide
circulation.
The matter came to the attention
of the Forest Supervisor Of the Medi-
cine Bow Forest and Forest Ranger
Bruce Torgny Of the Bow District
was instructed to investigate. Ranger
Torgny's observations revealed the
fact hat cattle drank the water with
no i'll effects and furthermore, a
sample of the water was collected by
him and tested by Professor o. A.
Beath of the Wyoming University
and found to be free from poisonous
ingredients. The assistance of Pro-
fessor Beath was enlisted and he
made a trip to the scene.
1t was too late, however. to Sc
cure the stomach contents of the
dead sheep and the exact cause of
the deaths will, therefore, never be
determined. The Indications, how
ever. clear both the water and plants
of blame. There were five bands of
sheep brought over the trail. The
first three passed in safety. the
fourth lost over 800 head and the
fifth band following over the same
trail and camped in the same place
suffered no loss.
Where losses such as this occur, If
of the stomach contents and send the
material to Professor Beath, the
cause could be worked out by him.
Once the cause is determined steps
to eliminate it can be inteliigently
worked out. For several years the
management of the Medicine Bow
National Forest has been co-operat-
ing with Professor Beath, a specialist
in toxistics, with a view to remedying
the losses from poisonous plants.
To date livestock n have not
taken advantage of the opportunity
nor lent cooperation as they should.
matter is to be taken up with all
grazing permittees on the Medicine
Bow Forest and a definite plan
worked out looking toward elimina-
ton of losses from poisonous plants.
The grubbing out of ]arkspur has
been found practicable by the For
est Service and Professor Beach is of
the opinion that the method a be
