WILL SELECT CAMP SITES

Before the new Olympic Highway is
completed and tourists can be invited
to go around the scenic loop, Land
Commissioner c. v. Savidge will care
fully select the spots where visitors
are to be permitted to camp, build
fires for cooking and enjoy an outing.
The new highway does not pass
through the heart of the big timber
belt that is owned by the state, but it
sAirts the edges Of state holdings and
runs through other timber for a part
Of the distance. Between the Hob
and Queets rivers much of the mile
age overlooks the Pacific Ocean.
There always is danger of fires dur.
ing the summer outing season and
Land Commissioner Savidge will in
sist the visitors be barred from camp
ing and starting fires in all unsafe
places. The designation of official
camp grounds is the best safeguards,
he says. Private timber owners have
equipped camps along the highway
west OF Lake Crescent and visitors
are held to a rigid observance of
camping rules.

Noted French
Artist en- Tour

The fifth American tour OF Alfred
Cortot, greatest of French pianists
and one OF the most famous keyboard
masters now before the public, is one
Of the artistic highlights Of the must
cal season of 192+25. Mr.. Cortot
returns after years absence with
fresh honors. Not only has he had a
tour of l07 concerts within single
winter-107 concerts to enormous and
enthusiastic audiences-but he has
achieved distinction accorded prev
iously to only one French musician,
the Gold Medal OF the London Philhar-
monte Society. The only other
Frenchman so honored was the com,
poser Gounod.
From the time of his advent as a
musical emissary OF the French gov.
eminent, six years ago, Alfred Cortot
has been one of the most popular pi-
anists who has played for American
audiences. A bare announcement Of
his return was sufficient to bring forth
almost as many applications for con-
certs as Mr.. Cortot could accept in
the limited time during which he is
able to be with use here.
If there is one outstanding charac-
teristic in the amazingly versatile art
of Mr.. Cortot, it is his unquestionable
sincerity as musician. He approach
es the great works which he inter-
prets so nobly with reverence and be-
comes, for the time, the re-incarnation
of the composer-although it may be
said truly that few composers ever
played the piano with the technical
tirmness and the brilliancy which
marks Mr.. Cortot's performances. And
because Mr.. Cortot is above all SEN
sitiye interpreter, he is confined to
no one school and to no one style.
His programs range from Bach and
the renaissance composers to Mr.. Cor
tots own fascinating contemporaries,
the modern French composers of to.
day. Whether the composition be by
Mozart or List, Beethoven or Chopin,
Franck or Debussy, it is always play
ed in the composers spirit-and at
the same time the playing is inimit-
ably Cortot

There are great many pieces of
furniture in all homes which have
never been vanished on the bottom
or back because these surfaces are
not exposed to view. Unvarnished
wood readily absorbs moisture from
the air, this causes 1t to swell and to
contract as the wood dries out. Warp
ing and loose joints follow. Then,
when the piece is moved, something
gives way. A coat OF varnish on these
unseen parts will exclude moisture
and prevent trouble.

Advantages of a Dry Ordinance

In discussing the question of whether not proh-
biton ordinance should be passed, the Paris Beacon
says:
The Paris city authorities long have sought to
the practical monetary benefits for the city which
would accrue from activity of the ctys police force in
experimenting and convcng volators of the search
and seizure act
Hitherto this has been accomplished in small way
by the makeshift of 'disorderly conduct charges
course which has not been satisfactory
Should the city commissioners pass the ordinance
suggested the less fragrant could be handled with
stiff fines while the professional booze might be
fined and then turned to the county court an
information for prosecution other charges.
More municipalities should avail themselves of their
power the advantages of prohibition ord-
nance Such local law would finance local police
Invites and instead of precluding further prosecution
would make it easier for authorities adequately
punish liquor law violators.
After bootegger has been punished for his ofense
against the city village under the provisions of the
municipal ordinance the evidence secured by the police
be used in the county court in prosecuting the Of
fender for violating the law. Thus the city does
go unpaid for its good work and the vioator does
go unpublished for his bad deeds.

A Sound Principle of Government

At least opponent of the commissioner bill justified
his failure support this needed the theory
that local officials should enforce the law. No periodical
has done than the American Issue emphasize the
importance of law enforcement by local officials No or
ganizaon has done than the Anti-Sa1oon League
place power into the hands of local officials and to
them to action in support of prohibition But
the time the American Issue and the Anti-Saoon
League recognize that here and there local enforcement
fails
In many places the necessary cooperation of local off
Gals and local courts does exist 1t was to take
of the situation in such places that the prohibition
commissioner bill introduced in the Legislature
While the ideal situation would be to have all enforce
done by local officials the need of enforcement is
urgent to wait for the realization of such an ideal
Human lives too precious to be sacrificed in awess

The Strategy OF the Vets and the Fight for
the Prohibition Commissioner Law

(By Major Frank B. Gilbert, State Superintendent OF the
Anti-Saoon League)
The only hope the liquor interests have defeat
prohibition is that through their constant propaganda
they may influence the decent citizenship of Illinois and
the nation with the false idea that the violations of the
prohibition law great demonstrate that the
law as now written be enforced. If they
definitely establish this thought in the minds of the
pie generally their step is TO convince the citizens
that the solution of the problem at least modification
of the law This is the goal they fighting desper
atey to reach If they win it will be through the break
ing down of law enforcement and through other
reason.
The Ant-Saoon League realizing how very critical
this propaganda has grown, made determined fight in
the session of the Legislature that has closed for the
strengthening of prohibition enforcement laws by
establishing the office of State Prohibition Commits
sioner three deputies and the employment of twenty
FIVE investigators supplemental bill to the commits
sioner bill provided that all fines and forfeures col
ccted through the activities of the commissioners Office
be divided oneha to the county in which the investi-
cation was made and which one-half would be used to
deray the expenses of the states attorneys Office and
was all surplus to him The other one-half would be
paid into the state treasury to deray the expenses of
the commissioners Office with the balance if any, to be
transferred the school fund This arrangement
would take of every dollar of expense OF the
missoner's office that this office would cost the
taxpayers of Illinois dollar, in other words the boot
eggers of Illinois would pay the expense for the state
enforcement of the prohibition law.
There states in America that have state
prohibition commissioner and the average in these states
for every dollar appropriated for the expense of the
commissioners oeice $40 is paid into the treasury
over and above this expense. 1t not the purpose
of the commissioner measure TO take any responsibility
