From Tolsteod TO Socrofc,

Commenting upon the fact that two
years have elapsed since prohibition
went into force in the United States,
and that widely differing estimates OF
the net result appear in the press,
victor Aubcrtin, IN the "Berliner
Iageblatt,' concludes that on tho
whole the case stands thus: "rhe
number of crimes has decreased. But
the insane asylums are full and cases
OF deaths from certain diseases. such
as typhus and the grip. have be-
come more frequent than formerly.
And now it is very questionable as to
whether mankind has won or lost by
this change
IF | had to decide between a burglar
or the grip I'd prefer the burglar
"A burglar is, after all, being of flesh
and blood. You can talk with him,
offer him cigar, and if he does not
yleld to this you can jump at his
throat. You cannot jump at the throat
Of a bacillus in the first place. be.
cause ne Is much TOO small, and sec
ondly, because he always appears in
great numbers. SO all this must be
considered before abolishing a custom
that has been practiced by mankind
since the earliest times.
"Thcrefore, if this hypocrisy is now
threatening to leap over to Central
Europe, the hearth of tcrrestrial ciyili-
cation - in Austria they are already
speaking about it - one should be re-
minded that this civilization is in great
part of alcoholic origin. We should re-
member the geniuses who had red
noses and liked to see the bottle a.
table, and all the works that were con-
ceived while their authors were drunk

Nan " as .4ftcars Man

MIR. Bryan, in his campaign against
"Dalwinism," might get some aid and
comfort from Professor Courtiare. Of
the French Academy Of Medicine, who
has reviewed the recent discoveries of
fossils and the various theories Of dc.
scent applied to man Is man "onlv q

lessor, speaking in the amphitheater
of the Faculty Of Pharm.sy, imam

Now traces Of the latter arc found
in the geological strata which the sa-
want studies. Studied in the light Of
modern science and the most recent
discoveries, the old question, "Does
man descend from the apc?" has no
longer any sense

Sentiment in the Jury Box

In England women are jurors, and
they prove rs versatile as the men.
For example, note the following scene
at Leeds:
miner, George Henry Robinson,
fifty years of age, was tried. In an &C
cess of jealousy he had cut off his
Wife's head with razor. He was con-
victed. Among the members of the
jury we're three women, who had voted
for the death penalty.
The jury return to the courtroom;
take their seats; the Judge puts on his
black cap; then, turning toward Rob-
inson, announces to him that he will
be hanged until death occurs.
The tragic words make the women
jurors shudder. Tho vision Of tho gal
lows makes them tender A sob is
heard, then another. And, 10! all three
women melt away in tears.
Tears are as contagious as laughter;
the public cries, the galleries moan, all
the courtroom sobs. The jury takes
advantage Of this quickly to sign
petition for mercy, which they hand to
the judge.
The latter reads it. and, addressing
the convicted man, says:
Il shall transmit the petition to the
proper person. But l want TO warn
you not to entertain too much hope.
There is not the least chance that you
will be pardoned! ="

The Eternal Question
Professor Gugliclmo Ferrero, the
historian Of "The Greatness and De-
cline Of Rome" publishes in "LIllus-
tration" q remarkable article on "The
Eternal Question:" which is not, as
some might suppose, tie question Of
feminsm. Or sex, but that of human
government
In the light Of tho past, full Of catas-
trophies, and the menacing future, Pro-
lessor Ferrero examines the present
state of Europe. He shows the frapil-
ity Of military relationships in certain
countries, and in others the importance
assumed by the economic problem. He
studies at length the state of Germany
and concludes:
Some great surprise, it would seem.
Is impending in Germany. If the Rus
sian revolution committed suicide bv
destroying even the machinery Of pro-
duction, Germany, though very SLOWLY.
may also commit suicide by a contrary
excess, when she abandons the state TO
ruin, contenting herself with workine
increasingly.
Fire is very powerful god, but it
cannot govern the world by itself and
check all the passions that drive So
ciety to anarchy. External amor in
the long run is not sufficient for a
nation; 1t needs sane frame. both
hard and elastic
The world needs authorities in
which it has faith, governments that
govern. The Mussulman peoples need
1t as we'll as the Chrstans, the white
race as much as the yellow race,
Europe as much as America. In this
sense the order of the world is pro-
foundly shaken, for this time it is not
merely group Of peoples or a part Of
the globe, bat the whole universe that
is condemned to recommence the eter-
nal work Of Sisyphus: the creation Of 8

Office Board County Commissioners.
Rockville, Md, June 81. 1922.
The following is the report Of the exam
liners on the proposed road leading from
Chevy Chase Circle to the Rockville Pike
at point at or near Somerset:
To the Board OF County Commissioners.
Montgomery county, Rockville. Maryland
Sirs In compliance with your commits
sion, the undersigned, J. William Stohl-
man. Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson and W. A.
Pate, met on the 18th of June. at II A. NJ,
at Chevy Chase Circle and went over the
ground to ascertain:
|. Whether there was need for a con-
Meeting street between the Rockville Pike
and Connecticut Avenue.
2. The proposed route for such a con-
Meeting street or road. and
3. The damages, assessments and bene-
fits involved.
Your board Of examiners found as fol-
I lows
First hat all Of US agree as to the neces
! Siiy " q II ad or street connecting Connec-
ticut Avenue and Rockville Pike, from a
point q or near Chevy Chase Circle and
running due west to said pike. There is a
! necessity and 1t should be supplied.
Second. Mrs. Nicholson favors a route
Episcopal Church and running west, par
allel to Grafton street and south Of il, upon
the old Glen Echo car line bed. This route
connects Western Avenue with the Rock
vile Pike.
Mr.. Stohlman favors extension of Grafton
Street from Chevy Chase Circle to the
Rockville Pike.
Mr.. Pate favors extension of Grafton
Street from Chevy Chase Circle to the
Rockville Pike
Third. The route south Of Grafton Street
is owned entirely by the Chevy Chase Land
Company. Grafton Street from Chevy Chase
Circle as far as improved. lies within the
special taxing area, Chevy Chase. Section 2
the extension thereof to the Rockville Pike
is owned by the Chevy Chase Land Com
pany.
By attorney and representatives who ap
peared at the time Of our survey, the Chevy
Chase Land Company designated its will
ingness to dedicate its title in either road
to the County Commissioners, as attested
by the letter herewith In this event, there
would appear to be no reason for the as
sessment Of damages or benefits.

Information For Automobile
Dealers.

Under an opinion furnished this office
by the Attorney General Of Maryland
wherein he CONSTITUTES Section l49. I41 and
ia Of the Motor Vehicle Law. as these
several sections apply TO the use Of
dealers tags by new owner following
the purchase OF an automobile, the Attor.
ney General holds such use of dealers
tags to be violation of the law.
This office is therefore giving notice to
all registered dealers in the State that
this practice, heretofore permitted under
conditions applicable to the fve-day use
Of the tags originally assigned car when
the sale involves used car and is be-
tween two private owners. will be discon-
tinued. The ive-day use of original
markers under written permission Of the
former owner, as permitted in Section
lat. is not effected by this ruling. This
Section the Attorney General holds cannot
however, be construed to apply to dealer 8
markers.
Holding that when a dealer sells the
car he is no longer the owner Of the same,
and the privileges conferred upon him by
his dealers tags cannot be enjoyed by a
stranger to whom the car has been sold. -
the opinion Of the Attorney General says
Of the five-day use Of private owner tags
as provided for in Section l47: This pro-
viso. in my judgment. relates only to cars
which are transferred from one private
owner to another and not to sales made
by the dealer to q customer. Il contem-
plates that the car in question shall have
a number assigned to il which means il
shall have been duly registered by its in
dividual owner. No car operated under
the dealers license is required to have a
number assigned to II by the Commissioner
Of Motor Vehicles.
In conclusion. the Attorney General ad-
vises this Office that no dealer can con-
fer upon the purchaser Of a car whether
the same be a new or secondhand car any
right to operate the same after title thereto
has passed and that the purchaser must in
all cases comply with the requirements Of
the Motor Vehicle Law as to registration
and titline before he may legally operate
