WHAT A CHANGEi
Highwood as 1t Was

We remember what it used to be.
A hell-hole called village, 500 peo-
pie, IS bars. gambling, L brothels,
$4,000 in debt, $4,000 missing,
streets all mud. Mayor Severson's
home burned down in 1913 because
he enforced the law.
A murder every six weeks. Even
the memory OF all this is now pass
ing away, yet this was the condi-
ton when our League was organ
lied when Mr.. Taft, Secretary of
war, wrote to the secretary OF the
League denouncing the village as
the worst in America near a mill

WHO IS DOING THE PROTECTING?
Chicago Evening Post)

Our neighbor, the Daily News, says
two men rule the Chicago underworld; the
realm of rum-running, bootlegging, gun
play and crime. 1t names one and indi-
Gates the other with sufficient guide posts
to make his discovery easy for blind
policeman.
These men, seemingly enjoy an almost
complete immunity. They conc and go
as they please. They issue their orders
and minions obey. We are led to under
stand that the law-enforcing authorities
are afraid of them When they turn a
nasty look toward Justice she cringes;
when they bark at her she crawls They
are protected"
Who or what protects them?
Has the mayor ever heard of these gen
tlemen?
Has Chief Collins?
Has the states attorney?
Have the federal prohibition authorities?
The name of one of them, freely used
by our contemporary, has figured often
enough in the newspapers to be familiar
to these officials 1t is said he has been
brought in and questioned from time

WE'RE GOING TO ENFORCE
The Law, SAYS COLLINS
Police Chief Speaks at Association
of Commerce Luncheon
Chicago Evening Post, Nov. 19)

(Chicago Evening Post, Nov. 19)
The public is becoming more in SYM
pathy with the prohibition law every day,
but the bootleggers and moonshiners are
wealthy with powerful friends, and to
finally kill them off the police must have
the continued support and assistance of
all law-abidng agencies" Police Chief
Collins said in speaking at the meeting
OF the Chicago Association of Commerce
in the Hotel La Sale today.
There is logical reason for present
conditions he continued. They are the
aftermath of war and the aftermath of
the prohibition law. The condition in
Chicago at the present time was occa-
stoned by what happened here between
the adoption of the prohibition law and
the advent of the present administration.
When this administration came into
power there were fifteen brewerics in op-
Grafton supplying 5000 saloons with beer
for 81 or So a barrel and retailing for $50
barrel. This beer was distributed to a
Criminal organization operating moonshine
joints. 1t was a lucrative business and
the gentry i'll charge of it became fat and
wealthy. The money came fast and it
was spent i'll various ways. Gold knobs
were put on doors, dinners at the best
hotels, purchase of fine automobiles, and
retention OF the best lawyers, everything
that a man with money is able to do
We started in to enforce the law. The
change brought about by this rigid en-
forcement was accepted by some, but
others persisted in their work with the
idea they would be able to buy their way
out, refusing to believe the day of easy
money had gone. The closing of the
breweries, soft-drnl joints, gambling and
vice resorts separated these persons from
their revenue
In many instances, these last-ditchers
attempted to operate under cover, refusing
to believe the end had come. They
thought they were merely being discrirn-
mated against while others were being al
lowed to go on. All these fellows are
rich and powerful, but we kept after them
and are now engaged in killing off the
remnants of the old crowd The battle
has just begun. We are going to enforce
the law

BOTTLE MAKING NOT DEAD

At the autumn meeting of the Glass
Container Association held at Atlantic
City last month it was maintained by the
delegates, despite their fears to the con-
trary, that prohibition had helped rather
than retarded the bottle industry, the de-
mand for all sizes for soft drinks having
increased.

SKIN is MIRROR OF HEALTH

The skin, one of the vital organs
Of the body, is in some measure a
mirror to the general health of the
Individual, DR.. Paul A. Turner, Direc-.

OUT
The women of this country are ap-
parently using more cosmetics than
formerly according to census figures.
During a recent year more than $780,
OCO,c01. was spent for paint, skin To-
tions, beauty creams and similar ar
ticles.
While many of these articles are
harmless and perhaps enhance the sp-
pearance Of the individual, the most
wholesome skin and coloring is one
which has been gained from health-
full living with sufficient outdoor ex-
ercise to promote the circulation and
to paint real color on women's faces.
Sunshine and fresh air not only
tone up the body but are OF assistance
to the skin. Personal hygiene is an
important factor in promoting health.
Excessive and insufficient bathing may
both be harmful but a lack of bath
ing is more often the cause of skin
diseases than too much bathing.

ARE YOU MAKING use OF
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY?

Less than a year ago the Woman's
Club of White Bluffs established a
library as part of its activities. A Ii
brary board from among its members
was selected consisting of Mrs. John
McFee, Mrs.G. w. Shaw and Mrs. F.
E. Taylor.
A place for its maintenance
was of consequence; Mrs. c. B.
Luhman very kindly gave space
for the large bookcase in her store.
This case has hld more shelf space
added quite recently.
For eight months now the library
has been open to the use of the pub
lie every Saturday afternoon. The use
cf its books is free. The loans are
made for a period of two weeks with
privilege to renew the same book for
two weeks longer. If books are held
by the borrower over this period a
fine of two cents per day is charged
until the books are returned and all
delinquency settled.
At present our library has nearly
two hundred volumes of fiction and
non-fction that have been donated by
people interested in it's growth.
From the State Travelling Library
of Olympia two loans of books have
been made to the White Bluffs Public
Library. The second loan contains
some of the very best books for
young peoples reading. Hero stories
of world history, life stories of some
of our great men, nature stories, and
some of the best fiction of recent
days.
We urge all who are interested to
visit our library; use the loan privi-
lege freely. Make good books your
friends.
