awful what they have discovered.
Here We have been eherishing the
belief that the female Of the species
has tendency "a remain ever fond

that alcohol was harmful not only 10

that II affected the progeny of alcohol

comes an unprecedented investigator

The fickleness OF the blueblrd Is n
matter a bit too delicate to dwell
upon beyond mentioning the fact
that certain tagged female blue

shown 10 have several homes where
they remained long enough 10 start

on moderate use OF alcohol. however.
is n different thing again. and the
old belief IN its permanent harmful
results is smashed TO smithereens by
the authentic discovery that there Is
absolutely no scientific basis for the
traditional belief In its harmful effect
upon users or offspring OF users. No
attempt is made to deny the bad ef-
feet upon habitually incorporate
users, but 1t is interesting to note |
that In one experiment involving the |
searching of records it was found |
that. out of 1000 men who never |
used alcohol, 1000 who drank mod
erately and 1000 who drank to ex-
cess there were six of the "drys"
who lived to be 100 years old, seven
of the ''moderates' who lived to that
same age and not one of the Intern
perates" passed that milestone al
though one or two struggled, prob
ably staggeringly, through 95 years
The conclusion reached by the in
spirers of this investigation is that If
alcohol is to be fought it should be
because of its social aspect and not
because it brings physical decadence
when used in moderation.

THE "TTNfE" BILL.

The house and the senate have ap.
provides that all clocks publicly dis
played shall be on standard time
ers against this rule, but a fine OF
800 is to be imposed If 1t is broken.
This, of course, will keep people from
displaying daylight saving time to the
public. The proposed amendment
which would have allowed a public
display of the time practically all of
us are using, providing such clocks
were labelled Daylight Saving
Time" was defeated.
Well, If Governor Templeton signs
the bill all we will have to do is
to remember that publicly displayed
clocks do show standard time. quite
probably tho people who have clocks
for the convenience of the public will
label them STANDARD Time" in order
to serve the people as the assembly
has refused to do. The merchants
who desire to obtain the good will OF
possible patrons will do all that they
can to prevent the confusion that
would come because of this action OF
the assembly, the Governor makes
such action effective by signing the
bill-a bill which represents another
limitation of what the individual may
not do with his own.
AS previously indicated the only |
weakness of the bill is that il does
not provide penalty for telling a |
person the time according TO the in
dication of a private clock or watch |
running on the time in general use.

previously indicated here the general
assembly has no more right TO tell

A WONIAN'S GOOD NAME

The Geraldine Farrar-Lou Tellegen
divorce case has brought up impor-
tant legal points that involve the
right of woman or a man to defend
his or her good name and for this
reason is of the greatest significance.
The actress brought suit against Tel
legen, naming a young woman as one
with whom the actor had had i'm
proper relations. The actor did not
defend the young womans name,
nor himself. The woman sought
to come into the case for the
sole purpose of trying to prove
that she, at least, had not been
guilty of improperly. The lower
court refused to let her have her
word in court on the ground that she
was not technically "a party" to the
action. The higher court. however,
declared that since the actor did not
put in defense which might free
the woman from suspicion, she her
self had right to jury trial to
show she was above suspicion, If pos
sible.
The latest development is that the
attorneys for Geraldine Farrar, who
had made the accusations which in
volved the young woman's good name
tried to withdraw such illusions to
the young woman, preferring to take
this action, probably, because the
court had held she had the right to
fight those accusations. The higher
court has now refused to permit Miss
Tarrar to strike from the records all
allusion to the young woman. The
court says. in effect, that since the
accusations have been made and pub
lishcd, and since it has granted the
young woman the right to refute such
accusations, the person who made

The sum and substance of the stu

aiken the stand that accusations shall |

,erson who made them allowed to
withdraw them as soon as 1t appears
he person accused intends to fight to
isprove them. The decision tends to
'revent the practice of making accu-
atoms which cannot be sustained.
