yoLsTEaD RAM1FICATIoNs.

It is generally admitted that the l framers of the volstead act are not to blame for all the perplexing questions that its passage has raised. They had no idea, it is believed, that the law would make the United States a discourteous nation among nations which have generally accepted the practice of international good man ners for instance. They had no idea. presumably, that 1t would compel the United States to refuse to recognize the laws of other nations as the Unit cd States has insisted other nations should recognize our laws while our ships were in foreign ports. They did not see all the things that would come which would make the opinion universal in this country that the act would have to be amended in some particulars at least.
 And, quite probably, they did not foresee that the law would make cer-
  tain people drink hard liquor instead of the less dangerous beer, as the lat est order compes. Of course it is no sound argument against the provi- sions of the Volstead law to say that in this country many people are talk ing drugs or drinking poisonous li- Quors because of the present law. And so, probably, it is no argument against | 1t to say that countries which have considered beer as a medicine must ' stop doing so, and, if they would | have anything with an alcoholic con- tent considered and used as medicine, they must use hard stuff. The sec retary of the French Line has just said that if the Treasury department is to permit hard liquor as medicine the regulations at least should be suf- ficiently liberal to permit beer as such, inasmuch as the health laws of France and Italy hold that beer in some instances is better medicine than hard liquor. No, says the latest order. You cant prescribe beer as medicine, but you can prescribe hard liquor. Surely, surely the gentle Mr. Nolstead did not want to force hard stuff down the throats of those who never use it--and yct--well, there's his law and there's a new angle to he situation.

SENTIMENT DEPARTS.

Gradually the old traditions are de-
 parting, sinking into that oblivion where the sound of the gently blow ing summer breeze or automobile horn is not heard. No longer may we properly consider such beautiful thoughts as that contained in the old ballad, The man who needs two hands to drive is not the man for me- A New England registrar has so ruled. Another ideal is shattered and another evidence of skill in driv- ing becomes liability. not an asset.
 For q Boston registrar has suspend. cd the automobile licenses of four motorists who were caught driving with one arm while they had the other around young woman sitting beside them. Tt is difficult enough to drive with two arms without re- sorting to this practice" declared the registrar
 Respectfully one would like to call the attention of the Boston registrar to the fact that there were not as many marriage licenses issued his June as formerly and with equal re- spect one might mention the fact that | out in Zululand or Borneo or some | such center Of enlightenment they are doing all they can to encourage en-

There ls significance in ihe siatis-

 eatiys of the. state of mind of the
 people. Perhaps the fgures eanstir

 for readily hy the better times en- taFed in 1888 than in the year hef0re,
 But there is a deeidely greater sig. niieanee in the fact, as reported, that "eften gloomy and eeld New England states" have the lowest sectional sui. eide rate Of the country, while the beautiful and sunny Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast states" leads the list, Four cities of California lead in the number of suieidesi cities in oregon and Washington come next, New Jersey seventh and a city in Colorado eighth,
 The weather has little to do with suicides, Rain and cold do not bring desperation. or the temporary insan. ily which so often results in suicide, The reason for the low suicide rate in New England may he found in the fact that New England people are too busy to become morbid over their worries, There is more actual work done to the square foot of New Eng land than there is to the square yard of California. Man for man the in- iividual living in New England pro- iuees far more than the individual who enjoys reputedly constant sun light of the golden vest He works much harder. This is saying nothing against the Westerner. II is merely the fact that when man has work to do he rarely allows his mind to wander from that work long ,nough to dwell upon his unhappy condition. inciden- ally, is not apt to be unhappy" in New England.

NO HOUSES ON STREET,
 WATER MAIN VOTED DOWN
Rec Street Application Quickly Dis- posed of By Water Board--Ac-
 tiON on Other Extensions.

Hearings were held by the board of water commissioners last night on several proposed extensions in water mains.
 No property owners appeared in the interests of proposed extension in South street, and no action was taken by the board. On Reo street exten- sion. it was brought to the attention of the commissioners that there are no houses on the street. or immediate prospects of dwellings, being built. SO it was decided to lay the matter over to a later date.
 Property owners on Kelsey street opposed the annual payments of 10 per cent of the cost of laying a main for 10 years and it was voted to do no work in that street.
 In Ledge Crest and Monroe street, the expressions of opinion were fav- orable to the work and it was voted to lay the mains.
 The commissioners felt that there was no necessity for placing mains in Wells street and tabled resolution to that end
 A petition was received for mains in Willard street from Chapman street to Moffit street.

While The health authorities Of the
 city are considering who shall be ap.
 pointed health superintendent for
 the city 10 take nr. Lees place, it is
 well 10 call attention 10 The fact that
 an eminent authority states that there
 gre 'oyer i0o.000 deaths in the
 United states every year from pre-
 ,cntable diseases" and to let tho new
 health superintendent, whoever he
 may be. know of what the people Of this city expect Of him.
 Recently Inc city has had the experience Of seeing initiative in the health department inspired by its superintendent. The day Of the old. fashioned health officer has passed, A slow routine attention 10 health matters will no longer satisfy the people Of this city. The initiative, Of which we have had taste. should be continued and carried far ther The people do not want per son on that job who will merely ''get by" They want man who will keep abreast Of the times and who will be in. sympathy with every forward looking movement tending 10 reduce this great number of deaths from pre- ventable diseases. The National Health Council. the American Fly giene association, the National Con- mittec of Mental Hygiene, the Ma tional Organization for Public Health Nursing, the National Tuberculosis association, American Public Health association and many others are or ganizations striving to carry out some plans for the betterment of the health of all the people Rf the country. The people of this city want man who is progressive enough to profit by the data obtainable from knowledge of the ends and aims of such organiza- tions and who is efficient enough to bring their benefits home to the peo- pie of the city who will be under his direct charge.
 The new health superintendent must be a man who is progressive and The people will be satis- fed with none other.

TO BE REMEMBERED.

When the period of campaigning before the 1924 election comes creep ing gracefully upon us; when orators, Republican and Democratic are talk ing of the great accomplishments or the horrible failure, respectively. of the present. immigration, it will be well to remember the speech of Pres ident Harding delivered at Butte, Montana, yesterday. The Presidents words have taken away q lot of wind that might have filled the sails of the Republican campaign stump speak ers It was unkind of him to thus make valueess as campaign texts the accomplishments of tho recent months. How such speakers would have dwet upon the good times brought by the Republican admnis- tration! How they will dwell upon ,ssach good times as the product of the Republican administration. And when they do, then will come tho time to remember President Hard ing's speech which plainly indicates his belief that such good times would have come anyway because the people got down to work with spirit and pur- pose. And, also by implication, his speech will take from the Democratic l orators words some of their force, for they imply that even under a Demo- cratic administration things would | have gone well-that Democratic administration would also have been successful because the people would make any administration superticially successful when they cooperatcd as they have done,
 The President disavowed any intcn- tion of presenting report on revived business condition 'as the accom- pishment of q particular administra- ton or the justification Of any party's claim upon the public confidence Rather it is placed before you Chis hearers) as testimony to the supreme sense and sound genius Of nation which could make its cooperation ex- tend to d continent and it's altruisms embrace q hundred millions of hu- manity." Further he says: We will not claim much. for the great end could have been attained only through the complete unity in spirit. purpose and patriotism of the whole . American nation" E
 And so. next year. when politicians ( 'point with pride" to the. things the 2 administration has done, We may well

By The Associated Press.
 Oklahoma City, Okla, June 30.-- The handful of state troops on duty in that portion of Okmulgee county re- mainly under martial law was augmented today when a company of National Guardsmen quickly mobiiz- ed at Okmulgee and went to Hen- rietta in motor trucks.

 The Okmulgee company had been demobilized yesterday with units on duty in Okmulgee, only to be called out again at 1 o'clock this morning.
 Other than the new mobilization in Okmulgee county there appeared to be no immediate prospects of fur ther military steps.
 An official report on the situation in Ottawa county is awaited by the governor who ordered an investiga- tion of the case of George. Thompson a miner seized early in the week at Picher by a masked band and sub jected to an operation after he had been acquitted of a statutory charge.

New Britain baseball fans read with interest of the release of Eugene Me- Cam as manager of the Bridgeport baseball club this week.
 Gene was prominent figure in the old New England league when New Britain was represented in that cir cult. He was manager of the Bridge port club at that time and was the idol of all the fair sex who patronized the games at Electric Field. McCann went in for sartorial embellishments. He always appeared to have just step- ped out from the hands of his valet. polished and brushed to the last quiv- CT of the whiskbroom. His cravat pin was always adjusted just so, his hat was worn at the correct angle and his trousers were never without their crease. Even when he donned a base ball uniform. he was different his
