WOMAN LAWYER
IS LAUDED FOR
Dry STAND
As AAB mHA $500
Wayne B. Wheeler Praises
Mrs. WiIIebrandt's Article
in Good Housekeeping.

Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt
Assistant Attorney General of the
United States, was praised as 1.-THE
Joan of Arc in the fight for pro
hibition enforcement" by Wayne B.
wheeler. counsel, for the Anti
Saloon League, in a statement to.
day.
Mr.. Wheeler's remarks were
evoked by Mrs. Willebrandt's article
In the current issue of Good House
keeping, being distributed today,
entitled, Twill You Help the Law?'
'"There is no woman in the United
States better prepared to make this
appeal to the women of the coun.
try for obedience to the law and
cooperation in securing it's en-.
forcement by Others" said Mr..
Wheeler.
He continued: "In vigorous fash
ion Mrs. Willebrandt disposes OF
the fallacious beer and wine plea
and the possibility of repeal Of pro
Inhibition. She portrays clearly the
menace of lawlessness Of the boot
logger and his patrons and the re
Sponsibility Of the individual citizen
particularly the woman citizen, to
cooperate with local and Federal
officials in securing respect for and
obedience to national policies. OF
the present situation she says
significantly, 1T is well to remem
Der that disorder does not always
mean disaster in government OF
homes. Sometimes it means house
cleaning The housekeeping which
the American people have under
taken will be prosecuted until the
atmosphere is cleared Of the odor
and vice, the rubbish swept from
the national doorstep, the official
furniture busted and set in order
and the broom kept behind the
door ready to repel those who would
return to muddy the house OF
Columbia"

said he hadn't got 'em yet. When
asked for his permit, he said he

did have that much, and now he
had machine on his hands, he
never expected to.
That's Progress.

Mrs. J. D. O'Connor, also Of the
Women's University Club, stood
firmly in support Of the judges,
and felt that they had acted cor.

Mrs. Raymond Morgan, member
Of the school board, said, IF the

she said, It is matter of how
much an institution should govern

Mrs. Margarita Spaulding Gerry,
well-known writer and influential
club woman, took a different stand.
IF universities are going to expeI

expel the boys too" was Mrs.

WORRY GREATEST FAULT
OF WOMEN, SAYS PASTOR

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 2O.-In
plain, old-fashioned worry is found
the greatest fault Of modern
women" according to the Rev. s.
w. Rosenberber, In an address here.
There are a large number of
women who worry so much over the
cooking that they fail to enjoy the
eating" he declared. They worry
so much over keeping house that
they fail to make a home. They
worry so much about making a liv.
ing that they forget to make a life.
worry accomplishes nothing and
relieves not, but only adds to our
trouble. 1t causes us to lose the
best there is in life and prevents us
from giving our best to others"

he was running north on Sher-
man avenue for a left turn into
Kenyon, your honor. He missed
the roadway but made the left
sidewalk fairly well. except that
he scraped some bark off tree
and scared a nurse girl into fits.
She was just pushing a baby car

PENDANT bounced off the tree and

After missing the baby carriage
he skidded out to the roadway and
ran on the wrong side to nth

desk man at No. 10 Precinct found
there was a warrant out for him
for parking too long in the con-
gested district last September"
Criminal AcceleratOr.

your honor. My accelerator sticks
at times and that makes the car
hard to control. When l saw 1

put on my brakes, but they're no
good. So you see, with my ac-
celerator down and my brakes
not holding, there was nothing to
do but go ahead.
What's q Baby or so, Anyhow?
The baby wasn't in any dan
ger-I didn't come within two feet
of the carriage. The nurse just
got hysterical, that's all. / ran
back to the street as soon as l
possibly could. / only ran on the
wrong side hundred feet or SO.
Il was on the right side of the
street when the officer got me. I
didn't see how he had any right
to arrest me, but I went along
rather than cause any trouble. I
don't remember about the over
time parking, it was so long
ago"

The court: IT'S fortunate for
you that your parking offense
happened in the day of S. fines.
You're still more fortunate not to
be charged with bad brakes. Run
ming on the sidewalk will cost you

side will set you back IS. You'll
find it much cheaper to keep your

CANADA ON ROAD
TO ABOLISH DRY
LAW PROGRAM
Dominion Is Wet From Pa

BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
TORONTO. Aug. 19.-Saskatche-
wan, the first province in Canada to
abolish the saloon, reverted to the
wet column by a plebiscite. July 16.
This makes the fourth Canadian
province to retire from the heights
of prohibltory legislation achieved
during the exhilaration of war time.
From the Pacific Coast to the head
of the Great Lakes, Canada is now
all wet.
Quebec was always wet, revealing
in the fact. Only Ontario and the
three maritime prOvinces-four prov
inces out of nine-remain dry. On
tario, according to announcement
made by the premier a day or two
ago, will hold a plebescite on the
issue Oct. % next. Should it also go
wet there will remain only the
maritime provinces, which contain
only one-tenth of the population of
the Dominion in the dry colupn.
The reaction against prohibition
In western Canada is. as shown by
figures in recent votes, decisive. It
has swept across the country al
most as rapidly as did the dry wave
in the early days Of the war Eff
cheney and sacrifice were the watch
words in those days. A great many
persons who were not ordinarily pro-
hibitionists acquiesced in the suG
gestion that during the period Of
supreme national effort drinking
should be eliminated. The nation
should go on a training diet so to
speak
Moreover, it was felt that in days
which necessarily held great emo
tional strain it would be a good
thing to remove easy facilities for
securing alcoholic stimulant
Now the pendulum is swinging
the other way. The saloon is not
coming back; even Quebec province,
which, for years has been the wet.
test area north of the Rio Grande,
does not permit the sale of hard
liquor by the glass. 1t does license
premises to sell beer and light wines,
but nothing else. The system that
is in vogue nthe provinces now go.
ing wet IS one of government con-
troll under system of dispensaries.
