'TlrQs Euer Thus

THERE are places, so they tell us
Il where prohibition is a Joke" OF
course. What prohibition law was ever
enacted that was not joke in the begin
ming, IN some places?
The question is, not whether the law is
somewhere joke, but how much of a
joke. And the answer is-nowhere near
rs big a joke as the state laws We're at
The same stage. Every dry state had to
20 thru time when the law was openly
defied. with the notorious and uncon-
fealed connivance of the enforcement of
ficers and of the whole local governments
Of the still unadiusted communities.
There is nowhere where the federal law
is in as bad repute as that And there
are few, if any. places where it is not bet
ter than 1t was year ago. If we may
judge the future by the past of the states
which went thru the same experience. the
transitional stage of federal prohibition
is destined to be shorter and easier than
was the case with many of the states.

Q Coincidence

A LFRED McCANN of New York owes
n debt of gratitude to someone, but
he doesn't know who II is. McCann had
suffered from hiccoughS for six days
when man who refused to tell his name
advised him to put a finger in each ear
and drink n glass of water held to your
lips"
Mccain did so and the hiceoughs left
him
That probably was enough to establish
the infallbility of the stop up your ear
method" with Mccain Doctors doubt
less will explain it as an accident, more
than anything else
Houdini says he once gained n great
reputation rs n sorcerer when he was Wis
ting with family and, for the edifica-
ton of one of the youngsters, walked into
the yard and commanded the rain to stop.
Oddly enough. il did. Then" says
Houdini mot wanting TO delude the
youngster, | took him into the yard again
and ordered the rain to resume, thinking
to prove TO him that it was nothing more
than coincidence
But the COMPOUNDED rain did start up
again, To-day YOU can't convince that
youngster that I'm not possessed of super
natural power"
