WHAT EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL
MAKES TOTAL ABSTINENCE
IMPORTANT IN MODERN
METHODS OF TRAVEL

Total abstinence from alcohol is of
methods of travel. Travel in the
United States and in the whole world
is every day increasing and the meth
DDS used are becoming faster. The
modern driver must have a keen and
alert mind. His physical condition
must be well. These two things are
never found with people who are
slaves of alcoholic drinks. Alcohol
has very serious effect on people.
Every nerve fiber in our body is in
sulated with fatty substance called
lipoid. Alcohol dissolves this sub
stance and thus the nerves are weak
ened and fail to work properly. The
mind becomes dull, the eyesight be-
comes poor, in fact every sense organ
in the body is weakened. Not only
does it affect the mental condition
but it also affects the physical con-
dition. There is no food in alcohol.
Because of this the body becomes
weak and person becomes tired and
loses all ambition to work.
These points all go to show that it
is impossible to have people who are
slaves of alcohol, employed in our
modern methods of travel. Not only
are they risking their own life but
the life of every person with whom
they come in contact.
1t is often said that the prohibition
law takes away our personal liberty.
This is not true, it adds to our liberty.
A very good example of this is in our
modern methods of travel where a
drunkard may cause the death of
many people, thus taking away their
right to live and perhaps his own too.
There is an old slogan which says,
Booze and gasoline do not mix well
at the steering Wheel" Now we hear
another slogan from the sky, Wine
does not mix we'll with flying" Fly
ing is already playing an important
part in our modes of travel and it
will increase every year. Total abb
stinence is of the highest Importance
in this method of travel. People who
use intoxicating liquors loose all
judgment and become indispensable.
Thus it would be impossible for user
of liquor to pilot ship safely.
1t is evident that the more our
methods of travel develop, the more
efficient people it takes and slaves Of
alcohol will all in time become more
unfit for positions in our modern
methods of travel.

WOULD THE DRINK HABIT HELP
ME BECOME A GOOD
AVIATRIX

I am very much interested in avi-
alton and expect to pilot plane
across the continents, some day. To
become an aviatrix 1 must give lot
of attention to my health, character
and habits. 1 will never form the
habit of drinking, which is the worst
habit anyone has ever formed. It
weakens every part of your body;
deadens your feelings; lessons your
desire for food causes sickness, death,
poverty, weakness, deafness, blind
ness, and insanity. 1t is the most un-
desirable thing with which to kill
your thirst. 1t stops your heart from
doing its proper work. 1t lowers your
resistance to diseases and weakness
ses of all kinds; demoralizes your
character, deprives you of spirit and
energy; it robs you of all good ap-
pearance; and does everything in the
world to rob you of your best COM
rades so you may become Stunned by
all. Who is there that has to have
more courage, energy, health, and
nerve than an aviator or aviatrix?
l must strengthen my health physi-
cally, morally and mentally. Why
not give yourself fair chance? Why
not try to amount to something in
this world, instead of being a drunk
ard scorned by all? A person like
Lindbergh could not have crossed the
ocean if he had been a man of this
type, because it certainly takes a
good conscience to be able to do
what he did and with the spirit in
which he did it.

She stopped In front Of her tent.
Starbuck stopped with her. "Your
father Is new to the West, too. I can
see that. He'll need little advice,
maybe, but he'll do well here. Tell
him not to believe everything he
hears, or trust everybody that talks
to him-that's ALL"
thank you, Mr.. Starbuck." Christie
caught the tent flap in one hand, as
II delicately to dismiss her kind
friend.
'"This where you live? Well
You've got nice big tent"
"We brought It with u.s." said
Christie distantly, and hoping he
would go. But Starbuck was in no
haste. He kept up his talk, telling
her how he knew a woman could
make even tent homelike. He looked
at the flap intently-as If he would
like to see inside-his eyes fairly
limited as much. But Christie was re-
solved he should not, II he stood an
hour. When he saw 1t was useless,
he changed the subject. "Tve got
to take little drive this afternoon
down river. Come along, and TIL
show you the prettiest team and

'I'm sorry but I've got dress to
make this afternoon. Some other time,
perhaps: today I couldn't possibly.
Goodbye
By the time she had rid herself of
him her cheeks were flushed with the
effort and her heart was beating q
little faster. There was something
surprising, at moments exhilarating,
in his challenge. But Christie could
not be at all sure that she liked him.
Starbuck made point Of seeing
Christie frequently. He was so kind
in every way that she more than once
revised her early distrust; and he
was so well bred and knew so much
about everything.
He was we'll liked by her father,
and generally popular; yet he more
than once confessed In confidence to
Christie that he was q lonely man;
that he longed for something different
from the crude life Of the rough men
he was thrown among; and this mark
Of confidence touched Christie deep
ly, for he added that she was the
only one in whom he could confide-
the only one, indeed, in the whole
big, half-wild town that understood
him. This, too, touched Christie very
much-he was so big and strong and
so lonesome.
OF course, any good impression that
Selwood might have made must fade
before all Of this. Moreover, Selwood
was much In disfavor with those
about her. She was out Of humor

HOOVER, CURTIS
CHOICE OF c. O.P.
Named as Candidates of Re-
publican Party on
First Ballot.
For President:
HERBERT c. HOOVER
For Vice President:
CHARLES CURTIS
BY WRIGHT A. PATTERSON

Kansas City, Mo.-The following is
q picture of the Republican national
convention as neutral Observer-One
of probably not more than 80 of that
kind-saw it from the preliminaries
of Sunday morning to the final cur
tain drop on Friday.
After all the fuss, all the noise. all
the Juror and all the speeches this
is what actually happened:
Herbert Hoover was nominated for
President on the first ballot. Charles
Curtis of Kansas was nominated for
vice president also on the first ballot.
A platform was adopted declaring
for and against many things among
which were:
Recognizing need for relief for
agriculture, and promising such relief
through the disposition of farm sur
pluses, but without approving the
equalization fee.
Advocating the creation of fed
eral farm board as another means of
aiding agriculture.
Promising a strict enforcement of
the prOhibitory law.
The real red fire and enthusiasm of
the convention came with the naming
of Herbert Hoover as the candidate.
1t was undoubtedly augmented because
of the rather sullen message sent to
the convention by Governor Lowden
when withdrawing his name. The Low
den message did more than any other
one thing to heal any wounds that may
have been the result of the farm plank
fight. Other candidates stayed in the
fight to the end, but proved themselves
good losers. 1t was Kansas that moved
to make the nomination of Hoover
unanimous. promptly seconded by
every other state that had been vot-
ing for a favorite son. On that one
ballot Hoover received S37, Lowden

Starts Off Quietly.
Take Sunday morning as time to
start On the surface Kansas City at
that time was as quiet as country
village. The city had entertained
national convention once before, and
the people were too blase to display
any wild eXuberance over the coming
show. To be sure the city was dec

had refused to settle his claim unless
her father would first accept the At
kins boots.
So Selwood's face when he ap-
peared at the store was rather set
He still came, but not so often, nor
did he stay so long. Christie was
distant with him. He had never, even
when he had a chance, offered any
grave condolences, had never COM
planned Of loneliness or confessed q
need Of sympathy. Christie could not
say he was ill-mannered, or that he
suffered in any way in comparison
even with Starbuck, who had become
her standard: nor was he less well
dressed, but more quietly.
And Selwood-not slow Of appre-
hension, whatever his faults-could
see that he had quite lost out with
Christie. He suffered; reflected; re-
solved; and made desperate bid for
reinstatement
He called one afternoon at the
store before the auction hour. Sell
wood walked up to the cashiers desk.
Fyler stood behind it, opening &C
counts for the day with Big Haynes.
Selwood drew from one pocket Fly
ler's bill for the lost shipment and
threw it on the counter. From another
pocket he drew roll Of hundred
dollar bills. He counted off fifteen
and threw them on the invoice.
There's your claim, Fyler," he said
briefly. Fourteen hundred and forty
dollars; there are fifteen hundred dol.

Gossip, rumor, surmise. They filled
the air all day of Monday. The New
York delegation caucused and named
Hilles as its chairman. "That," said
the anti-Hoover allies, means the
wreck of the Hoover campaign"
"That," said the Lowden crowd,
means New York goes to Lowden."
And it was all guesswork or idle
fancy born of hope.
No Light From Mellon.
The one big event of Monday, an
event looked forward to with varying
degrees of hope or fear, was the ar
rival of the Pennsylvania delegation,
including that most important Of all
delegates, Secretary Mellon. Thou
sands of visitors, delegates and others,
had jammed the great Union station
to get glimpse Of the man all be-
neved would name the candidate.
Some hoped and others feared to hear
him utter the fateful words that were
expected to settle the tense situation.
But Mr.. Mellon fooled the crowd. For
one thing, he escaped by the back door
of the station. and for another he re-
fused to talk, except to say that he
+ brought no further word from the
! President. According to him the
Pennsylvania delegation had not ar
rived at any decision as to which can
didate it would support, and would not
do 50 until it held caucus on Tues
day morning. That gave the political
prophets several more hours in which
; to operate without fear of definite con-
tradiction.
Senator Norris of Nebraska and
Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin free
! ly predicted the organization Of a
party split should the convention fail
to take action which they believed
/, would be acceptable to the corn belt
states. They were supported by a
! wire from Senator Brookhart Of Iowa,
sent from New Orleans, saying the
farmers of the corn belt would join
with the dry anti-Smith Democrats of
the South and organize a third party.
Yes, Monday at Kansas City was u
hectic day.
On Monday evening the Kansas
Citians took charge of affairs for a
time. Up to that time they had
turned the city over to the visiting
politicians and let them run things
about as they pleased, but when the
tension became too great the home
folks took over the show for time.
