tContinned from rees one,
think John d. Rockefeller would like
to succeed t-Ank- Hamcn as Phar-
aoh. He wouldn't.
If those Egyptian gentlemen do
not want those Rockefeller millions,
they can easily be spent here at
Rockefeller headquarters.
Every American party should have
n Mothers Building" in which moth
srs could change the Undertaking
of their young babies. in case Of need.
wash those babies in warm water
with pure soap, and buy pure milk at
cost.
Ten million dollars rejected in
Egypt might supply many useful
buildings here at home.
American babies and their mothers
arc more important than Egyptian
museums and their mummies.
Wisconsin is interested in a girl
II years old, controlled by "unseen
forces" The child runs crying to
her foster mother, saying, "my face
has been slapped" when no one is
near her.
When the child stands in a room,
strange sounds, ranging from a
shrill whistle to tapping sounds"
come from the walls. The foster
mother and friend take the child S
arm and unseen forces" compel them
to let go.
The Reverend Mr.. Grace says, 81
am baffled."
That sounds something like witch
days in New England, when the
hysterical stories Of children were
responsible for horrible cruelties.
Fortunately. there won't be any
horrible cruelties this time. Nothing
more cruel than extracting y little
money from the eullible. 4
How much wealth is there in the
ground below the feet Of $4,000, 900
Americans?
Oil is taken from the ground, about
1000, 900 barrels n day. One new
we'll in Oklahoma yields 1905 bar
rels daily. How would you like to
strike that in your back yard? How
many thousands of millions in wealth
are hidden away in this old earth :?
Mrs. Sadie Cook, of Baltimore says
dancing the Charleston injured the
stomach ligamcnts Of her ward,
Evelyn Turner, twenty-one years old,
and caused the girls death. She
asks the family welfare association
to help prevent her nine-year- old
granddaughter from dancing the
Charleston. Other grand parents
and guardians might take notice.
Dancing too long is dangerous to
young girls, often causing heart dis
ease.
At the request Of Pope Plus, issued
through the Vicar General Of Rome,
Catholics in Rome and elsewhere
throughout the world will devote one
hour Of prayer on Thursday for the
Catholic Clergy and people Of Mex
leo.
Divine power will be asked to in
tervene to prevent persecution of
Catholics in Mexico. All those that
retain their faith in the efficacy Of
prayer will await the result with in
terest.
A record crowd tried to attend the
fight between vets and drys in the
senate.
Senator Bruce accused the drys of
spending $2,5OO,0O0 in one year to
pull over" prohibition.
If they spent their own money
legally, their enthusiasm deserves
praise. Bootleggers profit BY pro-
hibition, sincere drys do not.
The vets say they will prove ''thc
dry law is q failure"
Prohibition has certainly made it
impossible to obtain the compara-
lively mild stimulants, without inter-
fering seriously with the distribution
of whiskey and gin.
If that is failure. then prohibition
has failed.
But the drys say. "give us more
time" The popular vote will settle
that.
Senator Capper of Kansas says,
1.-The vets always win straw votes"
The American plan would let
each state decide what is intoxicat-
ing. Then, after u years experience.
compare statistics, arrests for drunk
enncss. prison population, savings
bank deposits, and especially CRIME
records.
The really important feature Of this
prohibition age is crime, not whiskey,
beer or light wine. There are too
many holdups, murders, robberies. If
prohibition is responsible for all that,
it is more than q failure, it is a
calamity.
