COMPARES PROHIBITION
To BLUE LAWS

"When the advocates of Prohibit
ton urge that all laws must be en-
forced they really refer only to the
Prohibition laws. They do not refer
to the numerous other laws in
every State in the Union that have
never been enforced. Even the dras-
tic Volstead Act has not prevent
ed and cannot prevent the use of
alcoholic beverages. The acreage of
grapes has rapidly increased since
it was passed and the price gone
up with the demand. The govern
ment is afraid to interfere with
the farmers cider. The fruit grower
is making money. The dandelion is
now the national flower. Everyone
who wants alcoholic beverages is
fast learning how to make them
at home. In the old days the house
wife's education was not complete
unless she had learned how to
brew. 1t is evident that no law
can now be passed to prevent her.
Even should Congress pass such a
law, it would be impossible to find
enough Prohibition agents to en-
force it, or to get the taxes to
pay them The folly of the attempt
must soon convince even the more
intelligent Prohibitionist that all this
legislation is both tragedy and
a hoax Clarence barrow in

GRATITUDE FOR TIMELY AID

The duties Of Surrogate revolve
about the great tragedy of life.
Death causes upheavals in the fam
lilies of those bereaved. The settle
ment of estates is no easy matter,
and coming as they do in the midst
OF grief, they find people less able
to cope with them.
A Surrogate who makes it easier
for people at such times Will natural
ly win friends. This is the claim of
supporters of Charles D. McCrackem
that his timely aid in many cases
has not only made the way easier
for those bereaved but has saved
money for the estates.

NO SMOKING' ON zEPPELINS' TRIPS
Harden, the Writer, Not Al-
 lowed on Ships

. aFriedrichshafen, Sept. 26.-Maxi- milan Harden, the writer, an inti- mate friend of the late Count Zep- pelin, for years was fond of travel by air, and prior to the war he fre- quently made, trips. He had always to promise, however, that he would not smoke during the flight.
 It was an old trick of Harden's, so the story goes here, to smuggle cigars aboard the ships every time he made a flight, although he was always cautioned to leave all to- bacco and matches on the ground. During the flights Harden would manage to conceal himself in some nook Of the gondola where he would have short, quick smoke.
 On one occasion when Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the ZR-3 on her flight from Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst, New Jersey, was piloting dirigible on which Harden was a guest, the writer had promised faith fully not to smoke. He had been in the air l2 or IS hours, and had been watched so closely that he had no opportunity to smoke the, snug gled cigars which he had In his pock- cts. But storm was sighted ahead and the officers were busy at their posts when Harden hid himself and lighted a cigar. He was soon dis covered, but refused to desist.
 Dr. Eckener took the guest in hand, Either the cigar goes out, or you go out" said the commander gancing at the window, with the ship several thousand feet in the air. There was no more smoking that trip, nor on any other, for strict orders went out, and they stand to this day, that Harden was never to be allowed to step foot into any dirigible oflthe Zeppelin company

FINDER Of LWY'S
BOOKS DISAPPEARS
italian ArcheoIogists Rate
Discovery Invaluable If
Authentic.
By the Associated Preaa

BY the Associated PreA
| NAPLES. Italy. September s.
| Great excitment has been aroused
| among archeologists in Italy over
| the disappearance of Prof. Mario de
| Martino- -Fusco, photographer and ar
chivists of the state archives of
Naples on the morrow Of his reported
! discovery of about $50 hitherto un-
known original manuscripts of the
Latin historian, Livy.
Almost Immediately after word Of
| the reported discovery had leaked
out, DR.. De Martino-Fusco left the
city. leaving instructions with his
friends and aids not to reveal his
whereabouts
Meanwhile the enthusiasm aroused
by the possibility of such a discov-
| cry was somewhat colored by a GER
tain skepticism as to whether such
| q valuable treasure could have re-
mained hidden so long. Every one
concerned was sure that If the dis
covered manuscripts were genuine
they would reveal vast store of
knowledge of ancient Rome.
| The doubt cast upon the authenti-
city of the find by some archeolo-
gists was based partly on the sudden
disappearance of DR.. de Martino-Fus-
CO and on his refusal to state where
he found the manuscripts or to give
any other details about them His
stated reason for his refusal was that
a great deal of deciphering remained
| to be done.
Several professors Of the national
library and at the University of Ma
pies told the Messagero that they be-
lieved the discovery entirely possible,
declaring that they were inclined to
accept the announcement at its face
| value since DR.. de Martino-Fusco was
II 1y o. ~
and serious student of photography.
Prof. Giuseppe Della asserted that
such discoveries were possible since
| 1t was known that many valuable Ro-
| man manuscripts were hidden in pri-
vate homes when Naples passed into
the hands of the United Italy. in 1861,
when the monasteries and converts
were taken over by the new govern
| ment.
Prof. Riccardo conte Fflangiere-
| D1oandiano, another of the custodians
OF the state archives, expressed him
self as skeptical because of the Sc
crecy surrounding the origin of the
manuscripts and because of the lack
OF information as to their date.
The lost books of Livy, now re-
| ported found. have been missing for
1.400 years. They comprise hitherto
undiscovered sections of the history
of Rome. called by Livy "the an
nalles." OF the 142 volumes divided
into decades containing ten books
each, of this history, extending from
the foundation of the city to the death
of Drusus in 9 b. c., only 35 have
come down to our time. but the whole
| work there have been in existence
| epitomes drawn up by some scholar
who was well acquainted with the
| subject.
The first decade of the history is en-
tire. The second decade from 294 B. c.
to 219 B. c., has until now been COM
pletely lost Books 81 to As also are
in existence. but of the rest only brief
| and meager epitomes survive.

Baby Girl Killed
When Cupboard
Falls UpO,, Her

Ethel Murphy, three years old,
playing beside a cupboard in the
yard Of her home, at Fifty-seventh
and Blaine streets northeast, yes
terday afternoon, was smothered
to death when the cupboard fell
upon her while grown-ups who had
been watching her were in the
house for a few moments.
The PROSTATE form of the child
was discovered by its grandmoth-
er, Mrs. Hazel Holmes. when she
returned to look for the youngster.
The grandmother removed the
heavy cupboard from the girls
body and summoned DR.. Willis
Jones of 400 Fffty-eighth street
northeast, who pronounced her
dead from suffocation.
The child's back was injured and
her face pinned to the ground
