Most Asinine Legislation as to Health, Medica
Licensure, Education
By pR. L. D. WILSON, in california State journal Of Medhine.

BY DR. L. D. WILSON. in California State Journal of Medicine.
Rarely do physicians of sound judgment seek election to state legda
lures. Or if they dc, it is in q halfhearted manner and without adequate
support from the other members of their own profession.
AS a result we have the spectacle yearly Of state legislatures perpetrat-
ing the most asinine legislation in relation to health, TO medical Gcensure,
and to education. In the meantime the Legislative committees Of state
medical societies in their reports annually deplore the legislative actions
taken, and express futile hopes for improvement in the future The way
for physicians to get for the community sane health, hcensure, and edu-
cational legislation is to take a hand directly In its making.
Unfortunately, getting elected to do this is not so easy for the ply

Be Careful What You Wash
Your Child's Hair With

II you want to keep your child's
hair in good condition, be careful
what you wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much free alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoa
nut oil shampoo (Which II pure and
entirely greaseless), is much better
than anything else you can use for
shampooing as this cannot possibly
injure the hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoon
fuls of Mulsified in q cup or glass
with little warm water. then moist
en- the hair with water and rub the
Mulsified in. It will make an album.
dance of rich creamy lather, and
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly,
The lather rinses out easily. and re-
moves every particle of dust, dirt,

dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut Oil

Robin Redbreast
Visits Mrs. Hallett
Spring Seems Distant

One lone Robin Redbreast, brav-
ing the storms and cold of the harsh
Maine winter. is wandering about
this snow covered city, hunting,
hunting, for enough food to keep
him alive and warm until spring
shall return, bringing with it, his
fellows who went to the southlands
rather than endure such hardships.
Lonely and hungry he appeared
Monday in the yard of Mrs. j. E.
Hallett of Capitol street and began
to eat the frozen berries which she
had used as Christmas decorations.
Taking compassion upon the poor
forlorn little fellow, Mrs. Hallett
took some crumbs outside for him
and so grateful was he that he would
approach to within a short distance
as she called. For two or three
hours he remained about the yard
while several in that neighborhood
saw him, then while she was busy
with her work, he disappeared and
has not been seen since.
Where is he? Where does he find
a place to stay. that the cold bleak
winds will not hunt him out? How
will he find food enough to keep him
alive? Will he be here to welcome
his friends when they return next
spring or will his cold, frozen body
from which the sunny. radiant spirit
has flown. be moulding upon the
ground? These no doubt are the
questions which are of great mo-
ment to him now and those who
have the good fortune to observe
him, are urged to place some crumbs
and other bird food where he can
get to it and thus exist.

Fiction Writers as Seers

A most amusing and voluminous
book could be written around wise
mems forecasts. beginning with those
of MERCER who. in the year 1910, de-
scribed many future marvelS. His
progposticatiOns caused skcptics even
of the Eighteenth century to smile in
DECISION, yet. in the Twentieth CEN
fury they arc only simple and COM
monplace realities.
There could be cited Cyrano de
Bergerac. tho MARQUIS d'Argenson,
Jules Verne. and score more, with
out forgetting Emile Souvestre. who
foresaw moro than one or our con-
quests in his book. "The World in the
Year Two Thousand"
Here is what can be read in one
of the last novels of Champfeuri. lie
Jardin du Roi" (The Kings GardenD
about forty years ago: "a day will
come when science will project her
light into the interior of the human
body and clearly see there just as we
see the pebbles on the bottom of q
brook"
Thus. little less than twenty
years before it's discovery the author
of "FaNance Fiddle" forcsaw the X
ray. Truly, it must be conceded that
fiction writer's are often seers.

extensively the conditions existing in

supported France, claiming that it
was not military country at heart
but only kept her large standing
army in order that she might be
protected from the hostiities of Ger

der. explaining that we would no
doubt take the same precaution if
the same trouble and hatred existed
between our own country and Can

present time in the dusty files OF
Washington laid a treaty made out
for the purpose of the United States
and Great Britain rendering aid and
assistance to France in the future ii
any crisis should arise when they
should need it. Mrs Hamin said
that this treaty had never been
signed and never would be as long
as Senator Lodge remained chair
man on the committee on foreign
relations and that Great Britain had
not signed it because they said that
they were waiting for the United
States. She claimed that France was

LIQUOR LEAKS
Continues from PAGE I

bassy and legation stores to boot
leggers, dry agents agreed today that
there was more than rumor" to
support the theory that some intoxi-
cants permitted free entry under
diplomatic courtesy, have found their
way into illegal channels.
The prohibition officials have
started check on diplomatic ship
ments to determine whether the rep
rcsentatives of any country have
been receiving an apparently abnor-
NAL supply. The procedure for OBJ
tanning entry necessitates formal
application by the embassy to the
State Department, which, it was said
today. is sending copy Of each such
application to the prohibition bureau
for it's information. a further check
is being made through customs of,
ficials at Baltimore, New York, and
Philadelphia, through which ports
the bulk of the diplomatic liquors
arrive. .
Officials were hesitant today to say
what action would be taken, if it was
definitely established that an en-.
bassy was receiving supplies of liqs
quorS plainly in excess of the re-
quirements of it's staff, but it was in
dicated that the State Department
would be requested in such a case
to take the matter up with the am
bassadOr or minister in question in
the hope of obtaining his voluntarx
cooperation toward remedying the
situation. 1t was the opinion of Of
ficials that if such discovery should
result from their investigation, it
would be found that a subordinate
attache of the legation or embassy
would be proven to have been the
culprit without the knowledge of any
OF his responsible superiors.
The logical remedy. a high official
OF the prohibition bureau said today,
would entail the cooperation of
foreign representatives in Washing
ton to hold their applications for
liquor to normal requirements. This
might be done, it was said. by hav-
ing each representative estimate the
maximum requirement of his estab-
lishment, both for personal and Of
fetal entertainment and measure
successive than with propriety notify
the foreign representative when ap-
plicatiOns from his embassy covered
more than the amount certified as
necessary.

German People Stand

Berlin. Jan s (By A. P.)-Germany
to man tonight is backing up
Chancellor Cuno in his position that
the threatened French invasion of
the Ruhr constitutes an open and
premeditated breach of the treaty of
Versailles, and the German people,
while resigned to the impending ad-
vance of the French army, neverthe-
less believes it can confidently rest
its case with the world.
The German press presents strong
opposition to the movement, while the
political parties from the Nationalist
to Communists, apparently are united
in their support of the government.
The government is admonishirg the
populace in the threatened zones to
refrain from hostilities towards the
invaders. Some of the most potent
support vouchsafed Chancellor Cuno
emanates from the ranks of organic
labor and the French may find them
selves confronted with a determined
