DEATH OF S. W. DUNLAP

Death removed one of the well-known
citizens of central Ohio when last week
S. w. Dunlap of Circleville passed on.
Few men in Ohio had more genuine
friends than did Uncle Sam" Dunlap,
and he deserved such friendships.
Mr.. Dunlap lived to be eighty-six years
old, was a farmer and stockman, and
spent his latter years in Circleville. He
was staunch supporter of the dry cause,
worked many years for the success of
prohibition and gave freely to promote it.
No less interested was his wife, who sur
wives him. For years she has been w.
c. T. u. leader in Pickaway county.
Mr.. Dunlap was trustee of the Ohio
Anti-Sa1oon League from its inception
and was member of the state board at
the time of his death.

DIR. ROBERT HERCOD

l left Paris without regret, and was
glad when reached Lausanne and my
good friends, Doctor and Mrs. r. Her
cod, who were at the station to meet me.
Doctor Hercod is one of the most inter-
esting personalities | have met in Europe.
l first became acquainted with him at the
international Congress Against Alcohol
ism at Milan Italy, in 1913, and we have
met at all the succeeding congresses, at
Lausanne, at Washington, at Copenha-
gen and Dorpat. He was my right hand
man in the setting up of the Paris Com
ference in April, 1919, and was fortunately
journeying with me when in 1920 I visited
Belgium, Poland and Czecho-Sloval<ia to
arrange for immediate relief work to
be done by the Board of Missions. He has
remarkable linguistic gifts, speaking
French, German, Italian, English, Dutch,
the Scandinavian tongues fuenty, and
Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Greek, Span
ish and Portuguese with a varying degree
of efficiency, not sufficiently we'll to talk
connectedly and intelligent1y think he
draws the line at Highland Scottish,
Welsh and Ancient Irish. He has been
from conviction total abstainer from
youth, and early began his work as sci
entihc investigator of the effects of alco-
hol. While tenacious in his adherence to
his principles, he has been tactful in his
intercourse with those opposed to his
views, and fair and tolerant in the con-
duct of the periodical literature which he
has published, generally under the author
ity of the Swiss government, which for
many years has given a small subsidy to
the International Temperance Bureau at
Lausanne, as have twelve other European
governments. He has carried on his work
so wisely that he is personally and Off
cially the best known and probably the
most trusted temperance worker in En-
rope, both by governmental officials and
temperance leaders in Europe and Amer
lea. He has been for many years the Sec
rotary of the Permanent Committee of
the international Congress Against Al
coholism, and is the president for the con-
