Knees Are Knees.

American fappers are hereby warned
to stay out of China. It is no place

into trouble. This warning is issued
because Of what recently befell

in ricksha. comfortably and deco
rously, when her coolie stumbled and
upset the conveyance. also the girl.
Unfortunately she landed on her head,
her dress few up and onlookers were
treated to the sight Of pair Of dim.
pied knees. Now knees are knees in
China, and Marshal Chang Tso.Lin
has issued a strict edict that all knees
are to remain in seclusion. The mar
shals mandate is based on the theory
that modern dress is inimical to mod.
ern morals. Despite the fact that the
revelation OF these particular knees
was by accident and could not have
been avoided. the young woman was
arrested, taken to court and fined ten
dollars by the solemn Judge, who ruled
that "the law is the law, and many
persons saw your knees on the public
Streets" And SO, American fappers,
take heed or else take plenty of the
we'll known and coveted American dol
lars with you when you visit that

The Fountain of Youth.

Ever since Ponce de Leon, the Span.
ish explorer. discovered Florida, in
1913, tradition has prevailed that a
wonderful health-giving spring was
found there by him. This so-called
fountain Of youth has been located
in many places. In St. Augustine, the
scene OF the discovery Of the PENN
sula, which Ponce thought was an is
land, the Fountain Of Youth" has be.
come famous, despite the fact that 1t
has changed location several times.
The other day another fountain Of this
character was brought to notice
through excavations which revealed
some human bones. This was near
Deland, where a spring has been given
the traditional title. Probably this az
fair will start controversy between
rival health springs in the Flowery
State.
The location in Florida Of the
fountain Of youth which Ponce
sought Is perhaps in accordance with
the legend that has grown up around
his westward voyage from Porto Rico
little more than four hundred and
fourteen years ago. When Ponce
reached that island as governor. in
1910, after a campaign for its con.
quest, he learned Of q reported spring

that set Ponce of on his westward

Porto Rico cherishes the belief that

In the island Is that whom Ponce

curative additions and potations.
Porto Rico's fountain Of youth. TO

southern side OF the island not far
from the second largest city. which

Is known as Coamo Springs, and has
been a health resort for several cen.

natives took their ailing ones to these
waters for treatment. The Spaniards

Demand for Medicinal
Liquor is Lessenine
TO the Editor of The Star:

TO the Editor Of The Star:
The interesting announcement comes
from Washington that the very
elaborate and expensive plan for the
Government to manufacture medicinal
liquor has been abandoned indefinitely.
The reasons are given that the present
supply is sufficient for several years,
even at the present rate Of consump-
ton. But it Is also more than limited
that much medicinal whisky in the
past has been diverted into beverage
channels. Under the new system of
permits and distribution, this leak
will be stopped. Another saving is
counted on through the marked de-
crease in the use Of liquor in medical
practice.
This sharply diminishing demand
dates back to the years before Vol
steadism. Medical schools and medi-
cal practitioners have been placing
less and still less reliance upon alcohol
as a useful therapeutic drug. 1t does
not now seem probable that another
effort will be made for the Govern.
ment to manufacture a drug which.
even when actually prescribed by a
physician. is frequently. IL not usu-

Detroit Arrests Less
Since Prohibition
To the Editor of The Star:

:, James Sprott, superintendent of DO.
nee In Detroit, Mich, has issued
report which is enlightening as to the
benefits of prohibition, when honest
and efficient enforcement is attempted.
The last five license years showed an
average OF POI arrests for drunken.
ness per year for each 1000 popula.
ton, witl>a high record of 26.S. The
average for the first seven dry wears
was 1913 per thousand per year, or
almost exactly one-half that Of the
wet period.
This record will surprise many who
mad supposed from press reports that
Detroit, which is just across the river
from wet Canada, suffered severely
from the 'slop over" from the Cana.
dian side.
The fact is that the United States
census report shows that Detroit does
register a less decrease in drunken
ness than normal, and doubtless the
proximity to wet territory is the chief
cause. Over the Nation as a whole
commitments for drunkenness in pro-
portion to population are only AT of
the preprohibition level. If the wet
minority would show the spirit Of
craftsmanship, and respect the will
of the people as written into law, the
results would doubtless show or 10
times as great reduction in drunken
ness, and other social, moral and
economic results would be proportion.

ton and played a prominent part in
framing the present tax law. He is
now hard at work drafting the Demo-
cratic tax-reduction program for the
new Congress.
Since Congress failed to provide the
Civil Service Commission with addi-
tional funds to handle the 5000 appli-
cants for the prohibition force, the
work Of examining candidates Is pro-
ceeding slowly. All candidates must
pass a written examination and those
for posts above the $4,000 salary grade
are to be given oral tests as well. The
commission Is attending to the appli-
cants for the administrative posts
first, and hopes to have some new
executives duly certified by October l.
But it cannot comply with the new
law which provided that the entire
$500 jobs be occupied by civil service
appointees from that date on. The
commission does not expect to take
care of the ordinary agents and in
spectors until Congress meets again
and provides extra money. AT least
half the applications on file are &C
companied by letters which recite that
burning eagerness to help the pro.

Gounod's serenade. "Sing. Smile,

bit larger than Beethoven's. alas, too

There is, or at least was, an excel

Handles Largo" as 1t is univer-
sally called today, originally was
simply an innovation to plane tree,

intensely religious, meditative nature
Of the music led to the use Of sacred

it in no other form.
Properly played, neither too fast nor
too slow, 1t Is one Of the grand pieces
of music of the world. Its stately
cadence thrills the soul whenever and
wherever heard.
AS for the famous toreador offering

quintessence Of this sort Of thing.
The chorus Is marked with the Italian
word indicating "insufferable conceit,"

It is unsurpassed in it's way, and,
properly rendered, invariably pleases.
These are musical pieces of whose
authors it may be said, with Coleridge,
that they on honeydew have fed and
drunk the milk of Paradise. These
songs have had a time.honored circle
drawn around them thrice, whereas
other and seemingly as good music
exists within but one circle.
This one circle, in ordinary music,
the listener soon penetrates, but with
these magic songs it Is otherwise.
There is circle within circle, to lure,
to intrigue, to love.
