found he who had imbibed freely OF
intoxicants with nothing worse than
headache, but the sort of liquor manu-
featured and drunk nowadays has a
peculiar effect. A few days ago in
Connecticut, according to report of
case which has been sent to Prohibi-
ton Commissioner Haynes, a man
was taken into custody for be-
inc intoxicated. Every time the
man takes a drink he re.ls a story
that some friend or relative has been
cut in two in an accident Naturally
this has caused the authorities as well
as the relatives of the person supposed
to have been killed, much worry and
ANNOYANCE. To meet the situation,
relatives of the man have been told
by the Connecticut authorities TO keep
:: close watch on him.

passage across, the trip could have
been made at the remarkably low cost
Of twelve cents, and the Post Office
Department tells how it can be ac-
complished.
Three conditions, however, must be
subscribed to and the Department init

These conditions are: First-you

condition is supposed to be directed
against unusually large persons, but in
the case of overweight, proportional
rate will be charged. The Post Office

POTATO BUGS IN FRANCE.

American potato growers are so familiar with
the potato beetle that it may strike some readers as
asnovelty that alarm is felt in any populous country
over the appearance Of that unpleasant little pest.
The Colorado potato beetle, the bug with which
most of us have been familiar for years, has made
its appearance in a district near Bordeaux, France
and has caused considerable damage to the potato
crop in that section. This is not the first appearance
OF the bug in Europe. In 1877 it appeared in a po-
tato field near Cologne, but it was exterminated by
the heroic efforts of government agencies aided by
the local population. The field where the BEETLE
was found was sprinkled with kerosene and burned
over, after-which it was turned under to such a
depth that any beetles escaping the fire could not
regain the surface. AS a further precaution the soil
was given a heavy dressing of quick lime, and since
then the potato bug has not been found in Europe
until the present season.
The Importation of American potatoes has been
prohibited by France since 1878, but it is quite likely
that some of the insects may have been carried
across in shipments of grain or forage from the
United States during the war.
The potato bug was a rarity in the United
States as lately as the early seventies. In sections
where it appeared it was very destructive, as means
Of Keeping it in check had not been devised. Pota-
to growers undertook the impossible task of keep
ing their plots clean by gathering the bugs and de-
stroying the eggs, and many a man today will shud-
der to recall the hours which he spent in gathering
those repulsive little pests. The bug has followed
the potato all over this country. Homesteaders on
the western plains found that their first potato
crops were free from bugs, and many of them
fields free perpetually. But it appears that the bug
will thrive wherever the potato will grow Spray
ing is the one method OF control, and it is perfectly
successful. .#

1T MAY BE NECESSARY.

No reasonable being can contemplate without
profound concern either the extension or the~con-
tinuance of the present strikes in the transportation
and coal industries. Those strikes are demoralizing
all the legitimate activities of the country just at a
time when a revival is under way, and when there is
the utmost need for the cooperation of all our con-
%structive forces in promoting the work of produc-
ton. and OF bringing about a general rebuilding of
these things which have been shattered or shaken
by the war.
There is a crying demand that the strikes be
ended, in order that every man may attend to his
own job, and may prosecute his work without inter-
ruptlon, interference and uncertainty which strikes
and prospects of strikes involve.
Yet there is on the part of a large and constant
ly increasing number of people a feeling that be-
fore the country can really be rid of the curse which
hangs over it there must be a practical demonstra-
ton of the operation of the strike in some of it's
more extreme forms, and there is being generated a
sort of grim willingness, now that the situation has
reached its present stage, to see the thing pressed
to it's ultimate conclusion, and to experience in &C
tual operation the general tie-up of industry which
is constantly being threatened, first on one hand
and then on the other.
It may be that some such experience is neces-
sary to develop in the minds of individuals all over
the country an understanding of what is involved
in the succession of labor disturbances which seem
to have become chronic. 1t required the tragic ex-
perience of a great world war to enlighten millions
Of people, through the agency of personal expert
ence, on the real character of war. 1t may require
something like the complete paralysis of our indus
trial life to bring about an effective realization that
in some way or other industrial warfare must be
brought to an end, and that no dispute between en-
ployers and employees shall be permitted to deprive
people Of the necessaries of life when those things
exist in abundance

THE IMMIGRANT.

THE IMMIGRANT.
He'd heard this was the land of gold
and gold betokened strife.
They had not mentioned peace to
him, or all the joys of life,
They had not told him he should find
the children mere at play,
Twas just the lure Of yellow gold
which set him on his way.
The land Of easy money" that was
ell he'd ever heard;
OF how we build and keep our homes
no. one had said a word.
What freedom means he didn't know,
for all they'd YER told. :
Was hat our land is. very rich and
here men gather gold.
But had he learned this land Of our.
is one Of hearts content,
A land where children go toLschool
and romp in merriment,-
A land AZ countless garden plots and
homes aglow with cheer,
A higher and a loftier dream would
then have lured him here.
b never see an immigrant but what
I wonder why
! He left the country of his birth
what dream is in his eye?
oh. did he come for yellow gold, or
did he come to give
His. children all that freedom. means
and live as free nen live?
oh, was he lured by dreams of peace
and was his vision filled
! With PICTURES of the little home he
hoped some day to build?
And did he come to dwell with us
and share the joys we hold,
Or is he but 2r alien, in search OF
yellow gold? q

WINE AND BEER" PLATFORMS.

AS an illustration of how there are dragged into
political campaign issues which do not belong there
we have the fact that one of the candidates for the
Republican nomination for governor of Ohio had in
his platform a plank in favor of the amendment of
the Volstead law so as to permit the manufacture
and sale of beer and light wines.
Assuming that such an amendment could con-
sistently be made by the proper body, just where
does that issue hgurain the election OF a governor
of Ohio, or of any other state?
The Volstead law is a federal measure with the
enactment of which no state legislature or executive
had anything to do. No state legislature and no
state executive has any jurisdiction over amend
nents to that law. Yet not only in Ohio, but in
many other states, the issue of changing the law has
entered into local campaigns.
AS to the issue of amendment itself, it weuld>be
quite possible for congress to make any desired
changes in the statute which it has enacted. But to
make changes which would permit the sale of wine
and beer would be an evasion of the constitutional
amendment under authority of which the Volstead
law was passed. The eighteenth amendment pro-
hibits the manufacture, sale or transportation of in
toxlcating beverages. Congress might have ignored
that amendment and enacted no statute CARRYING it
into effect. In that case the amendment would have
been a dead letter. And congress doubtless might
exclude wine and beer or any other liquids from the
provisions of the law. But for congress either directly
or indirectly to enact that traffic in certain intoxi-
|cants shall be prohibited and in other intoxicants
permitted would be a manifest absuTdity. And there
is no getting around the fact that both wine and beer
are Intoxicating beverages.

5000 YEARS OF IRRIGATION.

Thousands Of acres Of land have been reclaimed
and made fertile in the west by use Of irrigation
methods, and.we are often inclined to think Of irri-
cation as a very modern device. But there are in
Mesopotamia irrigation canals that are three thou
sand possibly four thousand years old. They are
Med to bring water to the date gardens Of that
region which supply US with the oriental dates that
grace our tables.
The best Of the gardens are located near where
ne historic Tigris and Euphrates rivers meet and
gforrn the Shat-eLArab (River of the Arab. This
sssfs the scene of one Of the worlds earliest civiliza-
lions and, according to tradition, the site Of the
Garden Of Eden.
The irrigation canals branch off in both direc-
lions from the shst-el-Arab and the creeks that are

Washington, D. c., Aug. 11.-A fete
in honor Of the man who invented
the Marcel wave is to be held in Pa
ris this fall by aahost OF grateful hair
dressers. On this side Of the water,
Marcel is simply a method Of curling
the hair. In Paris, Marcel is also a
personality, a famous hairdresser who
retired rs years ago with a comfort
able income.
Monsieur Marcel measures up to
! most of the fixed standards of great
ness as set forth in magazine articles
on successful men. He was poor and
started at the bottom Of the ladder.
Some day an American financial wiz
ard is going to achieve super fame
by managing to start out in life some
where below the bottom Of the lad
der. Marcel. ran true to tradition,
however. He started out as a poor
apprentice in a barber shop.
He further compiled with Ameri-
can traditions by mysteriously sens.
ing the line where success awaited
him. He reasoned that there should
be better prospects in the business OF
making ONE beautiful than in the
prosaic trade of making men appear
civilized.
This was really a remarkable con-
clusion for Marcel to reach because

was slumping. There was nothing
startling, nothing very monumental
about coiffure styles and women stay
ed at home and arranged their own
flowing locks.
Yet the young French apprentice
who was to.rescue the trade from its
precarious situation gazed into the fu-
ture and had visions of uccess as a
ladies' coiffuer. as he dreaminly ran
the over a customers chin,
Eventually fate and his iron-jawed
determination led the young appren-
ttice into a Partisan hairdressing es-
Enlistment.
Here. again, he followed out the
rules for greatness faithfully. His
first attempt at arranging a woman's
hair, when he was 10 years old, was
a total failure. The effect was sc
crude that the customer angrily took
down her hair and rearranged it her
fself. Marcel was dismissed from the
shop forthwith. Yet, from this inau-
spicious debut, or rather because OF
1t, the young apprentice rose to the
heights of his art.

points of the great American bust
