JUSTICE MARION.

The friends Of Gen. NJ. L. Bonham
Of Anderson, are keenly disappoint-
ed that he was not elected to the po-
sition of Justice Of the Supreme
Court. The disappointment, however,
is one growing out of friendship
alone, because wherever he is known,
the newly elected Justice ]. Hardin
Marion is believed to measure up to
the high standard which the people
require of a member of our highest
court. Educated at the University, a
graduate Of the law department of
that institution, Justice Marion
came to the bar while still mere
youth. He has given to the study of
the law more than quarter of a
century Of untiring industry. and
has won his place among the first
lawyers of the commonwealth. The
legislature is to be commended for
making so admirable a selection.

Drink Own Breath

Washintgoa, Jan 13-If you are
thirsty, drink your own breath.
An invention that it was claimed
would make this possible was urged
upon Congress today by G w Arm
hurst, of Albany N Y, its inventor.
Mr. Armhurst told the house mer-
chant marine and fisheries commit
tee at hearing today that his con-
trivance would save the lives Of
hundreds of sailors annually. He
urged congress to authorize the fed
esal government to purchase the in
vention which would condense the
human breath into potable water
and place the contrivance on every
American ship.
According to the inventor, a chip
wrecked sailor would only have to
attach the contrivance and breathe
and he would not suffer for lack of
drinking water. Mr. Armhurst told
the committee that a trial would
convince government officials that
the machine would be as necessary
on ships as life belts.

DECREASE IN TRADE BALANCE
Reduction Largely Attributable To
Decline of Prices

Decllno or EIieos
Washington, Jan ia decrease
of nearly s1,0Oo,OO0, 0,0oo in tho ia
vorable trade balance of the United
States during 1921 was indicated in
the foregn trade statistics for De-
cenber, issued today by the com
merce department.
Exports decreased in value In
1921 by s3,74S,OOo,444 and imports
by s2,777,OOO,ooo, the report said
attributing much Of the reduction
to the material decline last year in
prices of commodities which made up
the bulk of the country's foreign
trade.
''The lower values of imports and
exports in 1921 as compared with
1920 and previous years" the de-
partment said, edo not represent
corresponding declines on volume Of
trade but are to a great extent due
to the fall in prices"
During the year 1921 exports
amounted to $4,4S5,O00,0o0 as
compared. with ss;;22s, 100000 dur

PROHIBITION WORKS.

The New York Herald has been
giving us a series of articles on the
results of prohibition after two
wears of trial. In one of these artl-
cIes it is stated that the consumption
Of LIQUOR has been decreased seven
ty per cent. and that there has been a
noticeable decrease in the number
Of crimes growing out Of the use OF
liquors and a noticeable decrease
in the number Of cases of insanity
due to intemperance.
Nobody ever expected that prohi-
bition would entirely prohibit the
drinking Of Intoxicating liquors
any more than people exepect the law
against larceny to keep thieves from
stealing. Those who have been re-
sponsible for the passage of prohibi-
ton legislation, we believe, should
be encouraged by the two years
showing. The people Of this country
have been for years liquor-drink-
ing people! The taste for liquor has
been cultivated in so many people,
and it is so easy to break the law,
that it must seem remarkable that
we have had a seventy per cent. re-
duction in the amount of liquor con-
sumed in the United States.
But the cause for greatest encour-
agement comes in the fact that we
have decreased insanity and crime
resulting from liquor-drinking. 1t is
in these figures that the people who
made prohibition may find ground
for real comfort. It is from these fig
ures that they will take courage to
go onward in the fight to rear gen.
Grafton of people who do not drink
liquor and thereby to still greatly
lower the percentage Of those who
suffer as result Of the liquor habit.

The campaign was formally opened
last night with a supper in the Church
of the Epiphany. which was attended
by about $50 workers and guests.
DIR. Thomas Green Of the American

make the social structure. That is
real Christianity. The Y. w. c. A. is
a vital instrument in realizing this
plan and you must go forward with
this conviction in your minds. Raising
$4,000 is a practical piece Of organi-
cation and teamwork, but raising
$4,000 for the Y. w. c. A. is part Of
a great service to humanity"
Miss Grace Axtel, director Of the

The streets OF Washington have
been safer during the first nine
months Of this fiscal year than
they were during the Same period
Of the last fiscal year, according to
figures made public yesterday by
inspector Headley, in charge Of

Headley's report shows that
from July, 1920 to March, 1921,
there were fifty fatalities on the
streets, AS compared with only
thirty-eight from July, 1921, to
March, 1922. This showing is more
encouraging, when 1t is remem-
bered that there are approximately
10000 moro machines in. the city

Fourspersons were killed in trait
fic accidents in March of this year,
whereas five fell victims to We
