Government authorities indict
twenty-seven doctors. thirty-two
druggists.
Doctors sold whiskey prescriptions
to druggists at SIS each. Every three
months one hundred prescriptions
from the government. Some doctors
sell whole book as cheap IS $500,
others got $500 for book. The
druggists sold $50 worth Of whiskey
to = prescription.
This prescription business in New
York amounts to about $4,000, 900 u
year. Prohibition is profitable, al
though not yet exactly practical.
scientist says he can prove ana
.t"micallv that lower animals are in
cluded in our physical makeup. They
are certainly included in our spirit
un machinery. One lady calls another
viper, one child calls another, . pig.
In character we are as far apart
as hyenas and white rabbits.
For instance, little Jimmy Mills
was sexton of the Episcopal church
in New Brunswick that had for nas-
tor the Reverend Edward Wheeler
Hall.
The Reverend Hall knew Mrs. Mills
too we'll. They were not cautious.
and when they met under the crab
apple tree somebody murdered them.
Little Jimmy Mills lost his wife.
whom Ghe liked. And now he cooks
don't know who did it, but. whoever
it was. don't want him or her killed.
The only thing that hurts my feelings
is that Mrs. Hall doesn't speak to
me any more"
How different from the mental At
.titude of the murderer or murderess
THAT killed the clergyman and Mrs.
Mills. who sang in his choir. How
do you explain psychically the fact
that Mrs. Hail, who lost . husband.
does not speak to Jinlmy Mills. who
lost his wife in the same calamity.
Distance lends indifference.
Three thousand Chinese Are drowned
sDy %hc rising OF the Yahgtse river.
1000 square miles are, inundated,
many must starve.
But China is on the other side Of
the earth, 50 that news means little
to US.
If we heard that some great body
in space, billions Of miles away, had
been destroyed. and billions. Of, lives
wiped out. that would mean nothing
at all. We are provincial.
NThe strange thing 10 that China,
with half billion population, labor
costing practically nothing, has en-
dured floods and calamities for
thousands Of years and never. found
a way to neptralize the floods:
Labor spent on the great chinese
wall to keep out bsrberians. and
bhat did not keep them out, would
ave made the Yangtxs safe.
