ITO THE PURE (the really
pure) ALL THINGS ARE PURE

A little girl with golden hair and
laughing eyes was walking down
Broadway with her mother. AS they
passed theatre the title girl ex-
claimed in delight, ooh Muvver! See
the booful ladies" And she dubbed
over with joy as she viewed the
brighty-colored Autographs display
ed in the lobby of the theatre, por-
traying some of the feminine beauty
to be seen in the show that "glori-
fled the American girl"
Later hawk-eyed individual who
seemed TO be suffering from dys-
pepsia, passed the same theatre. He
stopped and glared, and to his COM
panion he blurted out, "What hor-
rible display of obscenity! Such pic
lures appeal to all the lust there
is in a man. The police ought to
stop such lascivious displays" And
he continued to slobber and num-
BILE like standing bull with blood
in his eyes. He threatened to have
the purity League" send the thea
tire men to Jail. (But his eyes de-
voured the pictures as if they were
food to starving man,
Which of the two were pure? The
child or the man?
Our receptivity always deter
mines the impressions we get. Our
own souls are the magnets which
draw things to our attentions. The
beauty in a thing will appeal to
the beauty in us. The lust in us
will always find lust in any pos
sible suggestion.
The child in her innocence saw
the brilliant beauty In those pic
lures. The man in his lustful de-
sire saw the righteousness in the
same pictures.
Some people are like buzzards-
always shopping around to smell
out the garbage in life.

ANOTHER OSTRICH WITH
IT'S HEAD IN THE SAND

Elsewhere in this issue is re-
printed a clipping under the head
ing, as Prohibition A Failure ?"
This clipping was sent in unsigned.
There is always an odium attached
to unsigned communications. They
smell Of cowardliness. If people have
the courage of their convictions they
should not be afraid to let them
selves be known.
Ordinarily unsigned communica-
tions and anonymous propaganda
sent to this office are promptly as
signed to the wastebasket with the
rest of the junk. But because the
clipping above referred to is so
blatantly biased and untruthful we
have broken rule to publish it.
But at the same time you will note
that with it we have reprinted
some of the actual facts about So
called prohibition.
l have wholesome loathing for
the snug towards who hide behind
anonymity, or who use the names
of others, (school boys, for in
stance), to cloak their opinions. But
those SNUG towards who refuse to
consider facts are not only con-
temptible, but pitiful. They are like
the ostrich who hides his head in
the sand and tells himself that
because he cannot see danger that
no danger exists.
True, some of these people are
sincere. They have been fed so much
bunkum that they have come to
accept it as true. But If they are
sincere in their desire to help the
world they should look at both
sides of any question before jump
ing to conclusions.
To the person with open eyes
prohibition is failure. It has only
succeeded in raising the price of
alcoholic drinks and lowering their
quality. In addition 1t has made rich
vast multitude of bootleggers.
A musician said to me the other
day, 81 have been playing at
dances for many year, but it wasn't
until after prohibition that ever
saw young girls ask their partners
for drinks of liquor. And if the
boys don't carry something on their
hips the girls think they are too
SLOW"

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

In Berlin they tell the story of a
German who in the days Of the
slipping mark came bustling into a
fashionable restaurant with a big
valise crammed with bank notes.
"Hooray," he cried, "I'ye got a
job on the state railroad, and here's
my first days pay"
"What kind of job is it," he
was asked.
"Well," he answered, "you know
there's a chap at each station who
goes the length of the train tap

see if everything's all right ?"

Having informed President Cool
idge that they favored a medical

Gay, the committee, accompanied by
Director Frank T. Hines of the Vet
Grams Bureau informed the President.

corps for the bureau, as help toward
more efficient treatment of the vet
Grams of the World War.
Indications that the legion may
oppose the administration reorgani-
zation bill, introduced by Representa-
tive Mapes, came out yesterday when
Senator Means of Colorado, member
of the legion, called to ask if the
committee had yet placed itself on
record regarding the bill Chairrna
Watson B. Miller replied that 1t had
not as yet formally acted, but his
response was interpreted to mean
that the committee later in it's SEES

Taking up the legal phases OF the
Isle of Pines problem, Senator Pepper
described the attitude of the United
States toward Cuba, at the time of
her revolution, as that of "a voluntary
trustee in respect to that which was
claimed and included in Cuban aspira-
tions," rather than that of a narrow
bargainer." He argued that the
island was included in the territorial
limits of Cuba, and was administ I'd
as a part of Havana.
The theory of trusteeship, Pepper
said, was supported by the protocol
Of peace and by the treaty of Paris.
Spain was called upon to relinquish
title In favor of Cuba, and for the
United States to take the Isle of
Pines, he argued. would be to wiring

Nordics Perishing
In British Cities,
Investigator Finds
Says Urban Conditions

Dark, Shorter Races.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, February Swords that
may distress those who expound the
theory of Nordic superiority were
written last week by w. J. Perry. a
British authority on cultural an
thropology. In the great urban centers
such as London he has found that the
tall blond peoples are dying out and
that the race Is not SO much to the
strong as to those who are short,
dark-haired and brown-eyed.
The Nordic blond gets along all
right in the country, he said. but the
dark peoples thrive and multiply best
in the city. They cope better with
urban conditions. If this thing keeps
on and England continues to be-
come more and more urban, Mr.. Perry
seems to think that Alpine and Med
iterranean folk will predominant In
