The Cre0rliest, Smoothest
Cust0rds

Ifyouwant richer, creamier custards.
custards with a finer texture and a
greater srnoothneSs-you'll never use
anything but Carnation. There's very
good reason for its exceptional success.
The evaporation of Carnation to double
richness gives richer, creamier custard.
The 'homogenization" of the milk-a
breaking-up of the cream globules into
minute particles distributed uniformly
throughout every drop of milk creates
a smoother, finer texture.
And what is true of custards is true
of all other foods in which Carnation is
used. Carnation gives in puddings, ice
creams, cakes. soups, sauces and can
dies results which even the best of bot.
tied milk cannot equal.
There are new food delights awaiting

LaUy and Justice
by Dexter NJ. keezer

A man, riding as a guest in an automobile. was
injured severely when another crashed into the
one in which he riding. He sued the owner of the
car which had struck the in which he rid
inf, claiming it being reckessy driven. The man
sued claimed that the other also being driven
negligently and that the guest riding in it
shared responsibility for driving it. On that basis
he argued the guest had contributed to the negligence
which caused the accident and was entitled to no
damages The guest argued he had no responsibility
for the driving of the in which he riding as
a guest, and that he entitled to damages &C
count of the negligence of the other driver in running
into it,
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS?
The decision: Colorado Supreme Court decided
that the guest could collect damages from the
of the which had crashed into the one in which
he riding. 1t said, Responsibility for manage
ment of automobile, while being driven, must rest
upon the driver and not upon the guest" Otherwise
it added "a most uncomfortable and harassng stu
alton would be created for the driver of a car who
happened to have four or five guests"

Doctor Suggested Machine

Referring to rumor, especially in
connection with the guillotine. it is
commonly reported that a professor
whose name it bears, not only in
vented it, but died by it.
Neither statement appears authen-
tic.
DR.. Gullotine suggested the
| adoption of a machine to cut off
heads as the official instrument OF
execution during the French
revolution, but such a machine had
been used in some other European
countries as long as five centuries
previously.
1t had been used in certain Ger
man states during the middle ages
in Italy as early as the thirteenth
century and in Scotland during the
sixteenth century.
Beyond this, there is every reason
to believe that DR.. Guillotine out
lived the French revolution and died
a natural death.

Protest Considered

European governments are re-
ported to be considering a general
note of protest to Russia, though
Just what purpose this would serve
it is hard to see.
Russia has spilled too much blood
already, and the outside world has
done too much Intellectual scolding
about it for notes of protest with
regard to twenty, or even 100, exc
cutions to count for much.
The chances are that British,
French and German officials realize
this better than any one else, that
they are not so deeply concerned
about the executions as they pre-
tend, that this phase of the situa-
ton is emphasized for home con-
sumption and that their real object
is to deter Russia from an agrees
sive attitude, especially in the far
east.
Indeed, the whole situation with
regard to Russia centers in the part
she might play in Asiatic affairs
rather than in resentment to her
form of government or the way it
is administered.

My answer slip reads:
No. 5. East should bid one No
Trump.
No. 6. East should pass.
No. I. East should bid two Hearts.
No. 8. East should bid two Hearts.
My reasons in support of these
declarations are:
No. 5. This hand tempts a Bust
ness Pass which might result salts
factorily. 1t is important, however,
to remember that the doubler OF a
suit-bid of one is not announcing
strength in the suit doubled and
therefore a Business Pass should not
be made unless the hand contins
great strength. Many doubled con-
tracts are fulfilled with disastrous
result to the doubler when Business
Passes of suit-bids are made. This
case is close, bu. the strength does
not Justify a Business Pass; 1t thor
oughly warrants a bid of one No.
Trump.
No. 6. This hand differs from No.
in that it contains an extra trick
viz: the Ace of Hearts. That adj
ditional strength is sufficient to JUS
tify a Business Pass.
NO. 7. Two Hearts should be bid
although the Diamonds are strong
er; with two four-card suits, one n
Major and the other Minor, iii
informatory double should be an

the Minor is the stronger.

is worth more than a high honor

To Abandon GuiIIotine

France is considering abandon
ment of the guillotine, not for the
purpose of abolishing capital pun
ishment, but to make way for the
more scientific method of electrocu-
ton. 1t is said that electrocution
would have been adopted long before
this, but for q widespread skepti-
cism as to its certainty.
France has been filled with tales
OF the revival Of electrocuted per-
sons, though where these tales have
come from is mystery.
Putting that aside, the determine
ton to be sure that the law means
death when it says so, even though
a brutal method of execution has to
be retained, reveals a side of French
character which is not so commonly
understood.

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
1t would be a crime against in
telligence and truth to let the ar
ticle written by Smith Asker and
published in this column on June 6
to go unchallenged. L thoroughly
agree with his opening paragraph:
That according to fanatics prior to
the adoption of prohibition, if pro-
hibition were adopted. everybody
would become happy and prosper
Gus and the millennium would be
just in sight" But in the rest of
his article he laments the fact that
practically the opposite, according
to his idea, has come to pass.
Only fanatics and fools built such
high hopes on prohibition, conse-
quently they are the only people
who are now disappointed. Other
people who maintained and are still
maintaining a sane and open-mind-
ed attitude toward the results of
prohibition never pinned such ideal
istic dreams on it.
Mr.. Asker proved (but only in
his style of thinking) that prohi-
bition has utterly failed. To those
who built such high hopes on 1t no
doubt it appears to have failed; but
to the sane minded, good as well as
bad has resulted from it-success
as we'll as failure is its conSe-
quence.
OF course, we still have our 1ails.
If liquor before prohibition was the
only cause of peoples being put
behind the bars, we would have q
right to say that prohibition has
failed: but remember, there has
been and will be for a long time to
come, many other factors that cause
folks to be imprisoned. Then why
expect prohibition to be a general
panacea for criminality?
"Almshouses are still in use and
there is no decrease in the number
of their inmates" Is that so. Mr..
Asker? You had better look up
statistics before you make such a
generalization. Do you know that
in this very State the number Of
inmates in almshouses has de-
creased? No doubt the number isn't
decreasing because of prohibition
entirely, but neither are the people
there because of prohibition en-
tirely. Old age is the cause of most
of our trips over the hill" Out

States over IS years Of age in 1910,

Dear Mr.. Fixit: Cornell Ave. from

accomplished. Please see if you
can't do something about the mud
hole in Thipps Ave, half a block

RuSSia'S Attitude

he takes it out on his own family.
RuSsia's attitude toward the out

How To Keep On the Map

When young Lindbergh told audience In
Washington last Saturday that the next important
step in American aviation must be the development
of airports for all parts Of the country, Washing
onians failed to get the full significance of his state
ment
Now Washington has grasped it, The postoffce
department has laid out air mail route from
New York to Atlanta Washington is on the route
as Washngtonans naturally expected it to be. Isn't 1t
the national capital? Of course. Washington was
prepared to accept this new mail service as their
natural due
But it isn't turning out to be simple. The
Postofice Department had explained that suitable
airport must be provided, if Washington expects the
air mail men to pick up and leave letters in that town
Otherwise the stop between Philadelphia and Atlanta
will be Baltimore.
And now Washington citizens scurryng
around in mad haste to see that municipal landing
field is provided in time to meet the requirements.
This is not related to point moral at the ex-
pense of Washington. 1t is merely reminder that
the map of America is being changed very rapidly
and that in order to stay the map it is necessary
to recognize that aviation has arrived.

To the Editor:
AS constant reader of your pa
per for many years I wish to ex-
press my disapproval of your fight
for the so-called medicinal whisky.
One of your contemporary papers
has said, Those persons who want
whisky do not want it for medical
purposes. They want whisky to
drink, and if they thought there
was any possibility of getting it to
drink they would not now be CANA
flouging their demand with all this
twaddle about Saving lives"
One wonders why you have stood
idly by all these years and watched
your fellow-men die for want of
whisky. 1 would have q better opin-
ion of your paper if you made an
outright fight for 8 repeal of this
amendment. Then I would believe
that you were sincere.
I am not so sure myself that
whisky has really saved all the lives
that you claim it has, Some years
ago, when two of my friends we're
seriously i'll, physicians said that
they could not possibly recover. and
that it was only a question of hours
until both would die, but they did
not. Today both are enjoying good
health. They did not take whisky,
either. If they had, all the vets
would have said that whisky saved
life.
There are many excellent features
about your paper and 1 have been
a booster for it in the past. but 1
am thoroughly disguised with your
line of "bunk" on medicinal whisky.
Very truly yours,
GROVER G. BROWN.
