TT is the "ersatz' age The synthetic
i substitutes of wartime Germany give
way to other chemical products which
need no blockade to protect them against
the competition of the real thing Some
of them are old. Synthetic indigo long
ago displaced the real article, and there
are more synthetic perfumes than essences
of flowers,
Synthetic methanol is cheaper and bet
ter than distilled wood alcohol Synthetic
fats are already feasible, including some
not found in nature. Synthetic sugar is
theoretically possible, and there are those
who claim to be working toward its prac-
.tieal production. Synthetic gasoline and
gasoline substitutes are announced from
a dozen sources at once.
Synthetic silk adornS most of our forms
There are of course always the synthetic
'decoctionS on which the bootlegger pastes
his forged labels. And now comes the
threat that synthetic rubber will compete
with natural rubber unless the Malayasian
trust puts down the price. The laboratory
has not yet displaced the farm, but it has
postponed the exhaustion of the earths

KEMAL PASHA, of Turkey, is another
IN man and ruler who bit into trouble
on his wedding day. He married Latte
Hanoun. the beautiful daughter of
Smyrna millionaire, who, on her wedding
day. publicly appeared in a dashing Paris
gown; whereupon, all the eligible women
in Turkey went to yelling for freedom in
dress. Moreover, Mrs. kemal at once put
herself at the head of movement for
the complete emancipation of Turkish
women, and what Turk husbands have
had to suffer was plenty.
But Renal PaSha is no fool. He real
lied that. if some millions of women,
down-trodden and made to grovel from
childhood up, got hold on free dress and
free politics, they would put spice in
marital and political life that no mere man
could stand So, as no gentleman of these
advanced times will hang his wife, he sim

and renovating as hanging so far as

Maybe You KnolO a Word


THE word "scoflaw" has not been n
i success Another term is needed for
those who take the 18th amendment rather
lightly. Scoflaw covers too much ground;
it could apply to one who parks overtime
for instance,
In recent months the term 'practcing
prohibitionist" has come into use to lndl-
cate person who not only believes IN
dry laws for the country Mt large, but for
himself personally. In other words, prac-
ticing prohibitonist is a prohibltlonlst
who doesn't drink.
He is. in fact. nm ''inhbitonist" rs well
MS a prohibitionist If nm educational cam
paign could acquaint the country with the
word inhibitioniSt as thoroly as II knows
prohibtionist. we might get the short
word we need The trouble is, of course,
that most people have the instinct to pro-
hibt much more developed than the
instinct to inhibit We'd rather make
others be good than be good ourselves,
that is to say.
"Prohi" has done duty for years rs an
abbreviation of prohibitionist. "lnhi'
might become the short form of inhib-
ZIONIST Keep in mind, however, that an
nhibitionist is not necessarily a prohi-
bitionist. There are some good citizens
who follow what they consider the cor
rect course without ever trying TO make
others accept it, either by law or other
wise.
But, when you've got an inhibtionist
who is also a prohibitionist, couldn't you
call him an ''inhi-prohi"? II pronounces
more easily than it looks and il certainly
is much shorter than 'practicing prohibit
ZIONIST"
Well that takes care of the dry prohi-
btionists, but what about the scoflaws?
"Anti-inhi-prohi" takes up too much room.
1t sounds like that campaign song of 1896:
I'VE are the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Democrats"
1t certainly is hard to name those non
believing, unreconstructed rebels who can't
get over the idea that they want drink
when they want it!

HOaD to Write

."JKTRITING is just hard work." mod
Wv estly says Cora Harris, who writes
very well indeed Of course it is more
than that. Most people cannot write we'll
just as they cannot draw or sing WELL no
matter how hard they work.
But also, no one, however talented can
write well without hard work Language
easy to read is necessarily hard to write
And the knowledge, the thought, the feel
ing, the imagination, the observation and
experience of life, without which there is
nothing to write about-these come only
after exceedingly hard work.
Writing is a talent, trade, an art and
life. Only the intensest concentration
of all of these can produce anything
greatly worth while.
