 People are intent these days on gathering useful information" said MT. Milan. "At Detroit, Milwaukee and Cleveland the demand for instruc- tive and international books has be- come SO great that superintendents of adult education have been ap- pointed to care for the ambitious.

MODERATE DRINKING ENDORSED
 IN LORDS BY KINGS PHYSICIAN

LONDON. Aug. 21-Opponents of prohibition in England have read with interest the recent remarks of Lord Dawson in the House of Lords en- dorsing the use of alcohol by adults in moderation. The occasion was the second reading of Lady Astor's tenn perance bill. Lord Dawson is phy- sician to the King
 The speaker always made the pro viso that drinking must be moderate and indulged in at the proper time to be beneficial. He told of recent public dinner which he had attended. saying in part:
 "The centre table consisted entirely of prohibitionists many of them high ecclesiastics. That table was the one dull, grey spot of the dinner. and if anybody wished to be converted from uncompromising condemnation of all cohol. he would have been converted by that scene"
 Referring to Lord Astor's speech in introducing the bill, Lord Dawson said it gave him the impression that Lord Astor really desired to make out case for the elimination of al. cohol "I should be more hanpy.' he continued, eff I had heard from his lips one word of approval of alcohol in any shape or form One cannot shut ones eyes to the fact that while quite large proportion of the people who support this bill are people who look on alcohol as harmful thing in itself, and especially harmful to youthful persons"

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21-R. P.

Schwerin com mended Secretary of State Hughes for support in the right of the Fed eral Company in which he overcame the British and Japanese opposition to plans to build five wireless sta tions in China.

Under the conditions of modern civilization" Lord Dawson went on, "and in these days of concentrations the constant endeayor to put 12 hours into six, it is obvious that at the end of such a day the mind of man gets into one track He has no up lift There alcohol comes in very we'll Alcohol-in moderation-gets that man out of the track. It light ems his mental touch"
 The Kings physician took the ex- ample of the working man. in these days of high pressure, who was en- gagged in the making of motor cars. He had, perhaps, been using precisely the same set of muscles for seven or eight hours, and consequently had been using precisely the same cells of the brain "Is it to be wondered at." he said, that at the end of the day his brain is fin one track? I suggest that there comes in the mod crate use of alcohol. He is uplifted. Good beer at that particular time or day would help him and not harm him. He added that number or people at the end of the day were un- able to digest their food because they were too tired "A small quantity of alcohol" he said, makes them feel happy with themselves and happy with the world
 "There was no time in our civiiiza- tiou," the speaker concluded. when alcohol properly taken, served more useful purpose than now
