WEST IS SATISFIED
WITH PROHIBITION
States Unanimous, But it Is
Still an Issue to Be
Reckoned With.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 25.-Prohi-
bition, undefiled. is a fixture. as far
as the Northwest is concerned. There
is fair unaninity on that point, even
in quarters where there is extensive
sentiment in favor of modification or
repeal. These assertions are based
upon four weeks of persistent inquiry
in six States stretching from Lake
Michigan to the Pacific Ocean.
In all of these States. especially in
such conters of population as Chicago,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Seattle.
vets can be counted by the tens of
thousands. Their dissatisfaction with
the volstead act is avowed and bitter.
They are violating the law with un-
disguised impugnity. In many of these
communities the bootlegging industry
is flourishing. But even the classes
that are fiagrantly flouting the eight
eenth amendment, and clamoring
that it can never be enforced because
of its 'unpopularity," concede that
prohibition is undoubtedly here TO
stay They admit, in accents of de-
spair, that the drys on a showdown
have the votes to overwhelm any
serious attempt to restore the good
old days.
Had Local Laws.
Many Western States were ac-
quainted with prohibition, under local
laws, before it became a national
statute. They have had a larger ex-
perience with the difficulties of enforc-
ing it than Eastern regions which have
been dry only since 1919. The diff
ficulties of enforcement are correspond
ingly more familiar to the West. But
they have never undermined the
Vests faith in prohibition, nor its
conviction that the benefits, moral and
economic, tremendously outweigh the
arguments brought forward in behalf
of 'loosening" the law. Ask the aver
age town or city man anywhere be-
tween Chicago and the coast-and in
at least seven cases out of ten he is
a wet or a semi-wet-what has been
the effect of prohibition, apart from
his own inconvenience, and he freely
admits that the effect in his com
munity is altogether to the good.
1t has piled up deposits in the
savings banks. 1t has improved the
appearance of the streets by Kidding
them of public drunkenness. 1t has
made it the exception, instead of the
rule, for workmen in numbers to be
missing, on account of week END
hangover" when the factory whistle
blows on Monday mornings. 1t has
made it possible for the laboring folk
nearly everywhere to enjoy comforts
and even Iuxuries, unknown a few
years ago. Money that used to find
it's way into the hands of saloon
keepers is now buying silk dresses
and silk stockings for wives and
daughters and good-looking clothes
for fathers and sons. The myriad
of automobiles owned by work peo
pie is accounted on all hands direct
result of prohibition. Not so long ago
the cost of a car and its upkeer
would have been squandered over the
bar by many a, motoring wage Garner
of today.

70 AUTOS HALTED

along Eighteenth street We're used up
in complying with the advice of traf-
fic officers, stationed at important in

block and try it again.
1t was a case either of retracing
their path and pulling off an approved
stop to the satisfaction of the officers
or taking the alternative course of

None, however, selected the latter
course.

court, but lots of good sound advice
was meted out in a courteous tone by
Sergt. B. A. Lamb and Motor Cycle
officer Milton D. Smith, who super
vised the drive.
The officers stationed themselves
first at the intersection of Eighteenth
and @ streets, near the New Hamp-
shire avenue crossing. This was ad-
mitted to be a particularly dangerous
point due to the convergence OF
traffic from nearly all directions. =
Despite the fact that Sergt. Lamb
and Private Smith did not try any
hiding tactics, but stood plainly in
view of drivers approaching Eight
eenth street, approximately 20 motor
lists had to he tagged for failing to
halt on q stfset before proceeding
across>the intersection.
Most of them had that all-powerful
guilty look on their faces, as though
a great light had just dawned with
the blast of the police whistle sig
mailing them to pull into the curb.
Some did not know what it was all
about until they were shown the stop
sign, and one or two didn't realize
even then that the sign meant exactly
what it said.

eating his secret belief that the Of
ficers had just played a mean trick
on him. Sergt. Lamb told him the
newspapers had been printing coll

weeks, but he said he hadn't read
anything about them. He was still
mumbling when he started complying
with Lambs suggestion that he drive
around the block and see how love-
ly the sign worked, now that he knew
about it.

OCTOBER, WILL FIND
 MAN YSTARS IN NEW HEAVENLY POSITIONS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. (P-Just as with a lot of folks, October is moving time with the stars. Above the eastern horizon soon will appear the brilliant stars of early winter. The fall trek is in order.
 On October z, Jupiter will be in quadrature with the sun, that is, 90 degrees east of the sun and on the meridian due south at sunset. Mars has left the evening sky and is on the far side of it's orbit from the earth, 250,OOO,0OO miles away. The big dipper will be far over the north west
 The milky way may be traced on clear, dark evenings in October diag- Onally across the heavens from the northeast to the western horizon. Far over in the southeast will ap- pear the brilliant Foralhaut in the constellation Piscis Australis, the Southern Fish, which is visible in American latitudesonly for brief period in the fall and early winter. Fomalhaut is one of the 20 bright est stars in the heavens.
 October star gazers, says a bulle- tin of the American Nature Asso- citation, will find that the constel1a- tion of Capricornus, the sea goat. and Aquarius, the water bearer, two constellations of the zodiac that con- tain no stars brighter than the third magnitude, have taken the places of the brilliant zodiacal groups of Scor- pio and Sagittarius that were con- spicuous in the southern sky during the summer Venus, which has been visible in the western sky af- ter sunset since late in June, will be seen as the evening star in the southwest for about two hours after sunset.
 time after sunset little to the northwest of Venus, but before Oc- ,tober has passed it will be too close to the sun to be seen in the twi- light. Jupiter still is directly north of the little inverted milk iipper, and it will be next to Venus the mos. brilliant obpect in vi9@ in the southwestern heavens n tho early evening.

WAR ON RODENTS TO BE STARTED
 SEWARD FRIDAY
MISS A. M. WRIGHT ARRIVES IN SEWARD FROM ANCHORAGE;
 STARTS WORK IN THE A. M.

The territorial crusade against rats, which was started in Southeastern Alaska several weeks ago and extend ed to interior Alaska, will be inaug- urated in Seward tomorrow, under the direction of Miss Anna May Wright, of Portsmouth, Va, who is working in connection with the de- partment of agriculture and the Unit ed States health service. Miss Wright arrived from Anchorage last night and will call on the merchants of the city tomorrow morning for the purpose of securing their coopera- tion.
 Miss Wright came to Alaska with a chum, Helen A. Caldwell, of Hunt ington, W. Va, but she left her in Southeastern Alaska to complete the work there.
 The rate extermination plan 0f the young ladies not only rids a commu- nifty of rodents but keeps them out permanently and is simple in appli- cation
 Following is the open formula which can be purchased at any. drug store. and which is recommended by the United States government for the killing of rats and mice:
 ITO one teaspoonful of barium car bonate, mix three or four teaspoon fuls of any food a rat will eat, such as meat, cheese, cereals, fruits or vegetables. For best results, use three kinds of bait mixed separate ly and continue with the one rats like best.
 Where fowls or other animals are apt to bet the bait, place it under weighted box with holes in thesides just large enough for the passage of the rat. Place the bait in their runways at night and remove during theday."
