"In a few years, declared C. ]
Ewald. general Y NJ. C. A. secre-
tary in South America, speaking al
yesterdays meeting of the Moline
kiwanis club. the volume of our
trade with South America has
swel1ed from s750. 900 to s1,750, 900.
Present rates of exchange make it
extremely difficult to promote
trade relations between this coun-
try and South America" Just now,
Mr.. Ewald told his hearers. a num-
Der of manufacturing interests in
this country are planning trade ex-
pansion in South America.
I'm times past" the speaker con-
tinued South America was sus-
picious of this country. This was
not the sentiment of individuals.
many of whom were quite friend
" to the United States, but it was
the collective sentiment of the ma
tions themselves. They feared that
our immense wealth might be a
peril to them, that we might want
some of their territory. However.
the World war gave them new
confidence in the ideals of the Unit
ed States. Just at present the
South American countries are most
friendly to us. but they feel that we
should be taking a more active part
in the establishment of a new world
order"
According to Mr.. Ewald, the cuI-
tural relationship between the two
countries is the most important of
all Economics and politics are

This is Sigrid's prize winning
composition:
The reasons why a person may be
for prohibition are many and varied.
While Washington was not an alb
solutist, he was always willing to
make sacrifice for the common
good.
The first reason why l think
Washington would be for prohibi-
ton is that it is the law of the con-
stitution of the United States.
Anyone who is opposed to the
laws of our country is traitor. and
as Washington was the greatest pa
triot of his day, he would be so now
if he lived.
George Washington would favor
prohibition for the moral, social
and economic reasons. He did not
let his soldiers drink and this al
ways made them better than their
enemy, and possibly was the reason
for our independence, az with sober
soldiers he gained victory over the
enemy.
AS the object of prohibition is to
! protect the individual. the home, and

WEDNESDAY THE ROCK ISLAND ARGus-MARcH q, 1922.

When he was a young man he
was surveyor in the wiIdness OF
Virginia. He had to suffer many
hardships, like having to watch for
savages and wild animals, shooting
game for food, cooking it and
sleeping in the cold. II he had
ever drank Intoxicating liquor he
would never have been able to
stand this life.
When the Revolutionary war was
declared he enlisted and was made
the captain OF a company OF raw
recruits. If he had been like some
men. he would have gone to the
nearest saloon, after a hard day S
drilling. but he was not that kind
OF a man. He also commanded his
men not to do this, and they were
loyal, and they let drink alone. 1t
was not so hard to understand his
orders, and they gained in health.
wisdom and bravery.
If Washingtons army had been
used to drinking liquor before they
spent the winter at Valley Forge.
many more of the men would have
died.
One of the reasons why Wash
ington's army won the battle of
Trenton was that the redcoats had
drunk so much beer the night be-
fore that they were unable to fight.
If Washington had allowed his men
to drink. they never would have
made the long march and won the
fight afterwards.
One Of the first orders that Wash
ington made when he was COM
mander-in-c chief was that no man
must use liquor while in the army.
The men who obeyed this order
were the men who obeyed all or

George Washington was loyal.
and he hated John Barleycorn, be-

think of doing if they were in their
right minds. Many men were In

were intoxicated.
George Washington was unselfish
and he hated selfish people. so he

congress levied, at the suggestion
of Hamilton, q tax on all sDirituous
liquors made in this country. 1t
was fercely opposed by the noun
taineers in western Pennsylvania,
for whisky making was their prin-
cipal business. They tarred and
feathered one of the federal officers
sent to collect the tax, and engag-
ed in many serious riots which the
governor could not quell Presi-
dent Washington thereupon sent to
the scene of the disturbance $4,000
militiamen, who restored order.
This was Washingtcn's method of
teaching the important lesson that
federal laws must be obeyed.
We find that many people think
George Washington would not ia
vor prohibition because he used
and served wine in his home But
we must take into consideration
the fact that people held different
views on these questions at that
time And his life shows that he
knew the physical harm it did He
was interested in the people and
the welfare of the nation, and he
believed in the strict enforcement
of the law. Were he living today.
/ believe he would be an ardent
defender of the prohibition cause,
and demand the enforcement of the
18th amendment.

 In "a long range of what Herbert Spencer called physical sins. foot sins loom up s the stupidest and least ex- cusable of which man is guilty. If men and women were born with the wretehed appliances they call shoes. they would have a right to raise their voices in lamentation over the cru city of nature in afflicting them with such burden. Is it not strange paradox that we should glory in our scientific ingenuity that has enabled us to construct the flying machine. while we have lost the art of walking correctly and making our feet and legs really dependable as instruments of locomotion? If we were simply aspiring to fly and ultimately aban- don the use of our lower limbs, that would be consistent program. But why insist upon encasing our feet in deforming appliances? Why not use reasonable intelligence in walking. when in the rare intervals of flying or whizzing around on wheels in va rious types of conveyances we actu- ally condescend to come Into contact with the earth1

BUSINESS WOMAN IN TURKEY


 From The Unveiled Women of Stap,.

 azine.
 So 1 sent to the head of the shop . note in French, explaining my er- rand and craving permission to see her. After some delay, she replied with charming little apology be- cause her illness had kept her from answering at once, and asked me to come to see her at the shop between three and five on a certain after noon.
 At the appointed time found her sitting, at big desk in cubby hole of room dominated by the desk and frightened by g mirror. She was oo- viousiy of Arab descent and must have been very handsome m ner youth. with the beauty of the desert --the beauty that suggests saddle bags and nomad life. Not knowing that understood Turkish, she spoke 10 me in French. asking me to be seated and promising to be at liberty in few minutes. Then she contin- ued conversation in Turkish with client who occupied the largest of the three chairs in the cubby hole. She was an elderly woman, hand somely gowned. whose eyes, even in her winter, preserved the brilliant splendor of her spring.
 The two women were both of the past. They spoke the flowery Tux tsh that used to hear in my child hood. in the sanctuary of harem life-
 But now they were talking busi- ness; the woman who only few years before had sat secluded behind latticed windows did not yield an inch to her visitor, and the latter was obliged to accept receipted bill for no more than the amount She had paid. When she rose to take her leave, the lady of the shop rose too. and they saluted each other In the pretty, ceremonious way of the past.
 When my hostess and I were alone. we began to speak of the days when the women of Turkey spent their time on couches while their slaves gave them massage and flower baths The lady of the shop sighed deeply. We are passing throngh sad days for Turkey" she said. Then. after we had made all due pofite ad- vances, I asked her how she had ever happened to think of anything so extraordinary as a shop conducted entirely by Turkish women.
 It was simply question of work or madness" she answered During the World was while my husdand and were visiting my family here. soldiers of the committee of union and progress came into our bed room. early one morning, arrested my hus- band and took him with them, with out giving him time to dress"
 What had he done?
 Nothing. He was an Arak and therefore obnoxious to the young Turks. l rushed to Ta1aat and fell on my knees before him. He prom ised that I should see my husband that afternoon. But for all that, the order was given to sdeport him that very day. In the carriage. on the way to the railroad station, he died, all alone. from cold and exposure,
