''MEDICENE" RETURNS HOME
Scotch Liquor Sent Here for Rene
dial Purposes Finds No Takers
in America

Liquor brought into this country in
1921 for medicinal purposes consisting of
10000 cases of Scotch whisky, gin and
cognac and other varieties, went back to
England on June IA practically intact, due
to provision which prohibited selling the
liquors except in quart quantities. The
shipment went out on the Anchor Line
Columbia. The cargo which will be sold
in Glasgow is valued at about 100000.
Some of the cases were so old that they
had been spoiled by dry rot" The cost
of transferring the liquors into quart bot
ties would have been prohbitive, liquor
dealers say, and of the original 10000
cases, Sc had largely cvaporated.

SOCIAL EFFECT VERY MARKED
DR.. Brandelle Tells Lutheran Synod
Passing of Saloon Has Been
of Great Benefit

The passing of the saloon has produced
nation, said DR.. A. {. Brandelle of Rock
Island, president of the Lutheran Angus
tana Synod, in the report of the sixty
fifth annual convention of that body in ses-
sion in De Kalb, Ill, June Is. Despite
periods OF financial depression, declared
DR.. Brandelle, there is no poverty like the
poverty of a generation ago.
As result of this condition, he asserted,
the Lutheran church has found it neces-
sary to make radical changes in its policy
OF caring for orphans. While it was diff
cult generation ago to care for all the
parentless children that were lett as
charges of the church, the Augustana
Synod which controls ii orphanages in
various parts of the country is now able
to find good homes for nearly all orphaned
children and is rapidly converting its or
phan asylums into temporary receiving
homes. DR.. Brandele added:
1t is significant that the Kansas
conference where prohibition has been
ia CiASNh TIC lOuS6Slp Ids HlduC (HC
first move in this direction. This con-
ference has now decided to convert its
orphans home at Mariadahl, Kansas,
into receiving home. Children will
be kept there only until homes are
found for them. The Nebraska con-
ference has also felt the blessing of
the passing of the saloon and the
orphanage at Stromsburg, Nebr., has
been consolidated with the BeIthle-
helm Home at Omaha
In spite of this remarkable change
in the social and economic life of our
people, opposition to the Eighteenth
Amendment continues The small
minority imagines that by degrees it
will be in position to compel us to
take on the saloon again. And this in
spite of the fact that there is abundant
evidence in support of the fact that
the law is being better enforced every
day. 1t can not be denied that mil
lions of men, women and children are
leading much happier life than in
the old days of so-called personal
liberty.

Living Corpse"
The Moslem Problem
A special problem which the leaders
of the movement in YugoSlavia have to
solve is the Moslem problem, there being
over million Moslem inhabitants in the
country. Happily these people are not
Turks but good Slavs who were COM
PEELED in former times to adopt Moham-
mechanism or else did so of their own &C
cord. Thus the relations between Mos
lens and Christians are quite friendly.
In the student circles. of Agram, where
Moslem students study, having no uni
vcrsity of their own, Moslems and Chris
tians work harmoniously together. At
Sarajevo there is special Moslem alb
stinence society which entertains the best
relations with the Good Templars. I had
an interview with the substitute of the
Refs Ell Ulema, the head of the Mos1em
church in Yugo-Slavia He was very
sympathetic and understands the impor-
lance of the total abstinence precepts I'M
posed by the Koran for the moral and
physical welfare of his people. The Mos
lens of Yugo-Slavia are quite ready to
work with the other Moslem populations
all over the world in order to enforce a
better observance of the Koran principles
Youth the Hope of the Country
Adult abstainers are not numerous in
Yugo-S1avia but our hopes are conferred in
the youth of the country. Since three or
four years ago the Young Abstainers'
Union, which was formerly only juvenile
branch of the Good Templars' Order, has
made enormous progress. 1t now num-
bers $4,000 members mostly students of
the colleges, universities and teachers
training schools who are not only teeto-
talers but resolute fighters against alco-
holism. The students who lead the So
ciety from Belgrade are full of enthusiasm
and know how to transmit their zeal for
the good cause to the local sections.
What l could see of the work of these
young men and women at Kragujevats
and Now Sad made an ineffaceable i'm
preston upon me. We may hope that in
few years time hundreds of teachers,
physicians, priests, jurists in Yugo- Slavia
will be organized teetotalers and then the
state will be obliged to do her part For
our young people are not only for total
abstinence for the individual but have as
their goal full prohibition for all alco-
holic beverages.
Government Helps
In order to be impartial we must state
that the authorities greatly help to warn
the population of the dangers of alcohol
ism. For five years there has been at the
Ministry of Public Kealth a section for
social hygiene directed by DR.. Stampar,
an abstainer, who, ably assisted by DR..
Kuhn, another teetotaller, makes every
effort to propagate sounder notions con-
corning alcohol among the population.
And the local inspectors in the country
districts also do their duty. Hundreds of
lectures generally with good films spe-
cially prepared by the hygiene section
are given in the smallest villages and
though it may be too late for the grown
up population, the children are eager to
profit from this teaching. I myself saw

Kelly, booked under his real name

Dimes, is prominent in legal and
financial circles in Colorado.

Must Convert Farmer
"The first of ehe steps to be
taken in this tremendous engineer
ing task lies in the construction OF
the great dams on the Colorado
river through which the spring
floods may be held in reserve for
summer use and by which the great
dangers which now threaten the
communities of the lower river may
he safeguarded. 1t is not MY pur-
pose TO enter upon the technical
discussions as to where such great
works should be installed. That
must be q matter for determination
solely upon its engineering merits,
uninfluenced by either private in
teIests, the interest of any one
state, or any one locality.
"An obstacle which we must
overcome by the better knowledge
Of our people is the prejudice of our
agricultural communities against
opening up larger agricultural areas.
1t is said, with good reason, that
we are already overproducing in
farm products; that the prices
which our farmers receive today
are inadequate for the labor they
perform and the capital they have
i.'vested. 1t may be recognized,
however, that this is indeed but a
temporary situation. Our popula
tion increased by Is million in de
cade and an expansion in our agri-
cultural production is u vital no

Late Presidents S

Project Definite
Continued from page u


The following excerpts from this
nncompleted address, show that the
president had given no little time
"nd thought to the Colorado river
project, and prove that he was vital
ly interested in the development of
the great southwest. These eX-
cerpts are part of the volume of
Last Speeches of President Harding,
just off the press.
Pledged for Development
"ThiS administration has pledged
itself to the advancement of the
great projects Of land development
and reclamation throughout .ae
West. Indeed the creation of new
homes for independent, self-supp Jrt
ing, and thus self-respecting, people
is one of the great purposes of our
national life. With the gradual ui-
lization of our free lands. the great
est avenue for this expansion lies in
vitaliZiEg the great arid wastes of
the West with the water of our
mountain slopes. The easily avail
able projects of this kind have been
to u large degree absorbed, and if
we are to make further progress in
this great national aim it must be
by the organization of engineering
works upon larger scale than we
have hitherto undertaken One of
the greatest projects of this eharae-
Ter is near to you. l speak Of the
Colorado river.
IL has been proven by the ex-
haustlve and painstaking studies OF
many engineers that there lies in thn

river is capable of producing. Thus
we. have national asset as great
as the whole agricultural area of
the state of Maryland which may
yet be added to our national wealth.
This is no experimental develop,
ment, for at those points where
the water could be more easily dis
tributed many substantial eommuni
ties have already been organized in
rhis great basin, and the problem.
before US is the expansion of these
communities through greater and
more extensive engineering works.
Benefit for Nation
1.-THE works proposed demand the
Utmost genius and imagination ON
the part of our engineers and they
must needs be upon II greater scale
than any hitherto undertaken in the
history of the world. Some years
ago the admiration of the world
was commanded by the engineering
works undertaken at Assuan for the
purpose of bringing under eultiva-
tion the broad areas of '.he Nile,
and veritably here lies at our door
4 second valley of the Nile in its
fertility and its pregnant possibili
ties for the future. To people who
have Il proper pride in their daring
and accomplishment in grea. con
,tructive effort and in the overcom
ing of obstacles, this is a task which
appeals to national imagination and
oational goodwill.
"Such a gigantic operation may
lot be accomplished within II re-
sources of the local communities. 1t
S my view, and ! believe the ae
'epted view of large part Of our
ocople, thai the initial capital for
