why do men tip their hats?
The heavily armed and armored
knight of the middle ages raised the
visor of his helmet only when he
knew he was among friends. If he
took off his helmet it indicated COM
plete trust in the assembly. He felt
that he needed no protection. Thus
raising the hat as a sign of courtesy
is relic of the days of chivalry
The fact that men raise their hats
to women more frequently than the
members of their own sex is due to
the intensifying of social forms be-
tween the sexes.
What Is the correct use of Meth

Neither is used with nor; either

Are eggs nutritious and easily d.

They are valuable on account OF
their large protein and fat content.

they furnish material for building

eggs are easily and completely di

Prohibition Enforcement

Debate on the treasury appropriation bill in the
house and the recent hearings that measure be-
fore members Of the appropriations committee reveal
growing realization of the nefectiveness of proh-
bition enforcement by the federal government.
After nine years of the Volstead act; and the ex-
pendure of hugs sums, even opponents of prohibition
willing to concede that present conditions are far
from satisfactory The question of how much money
the federal government would require to enforce
hibition to the greatest possible extent is being
raised and vets have expressed willingness to vote
for whatever appropriations are needed.
This is a hopeful sign. Prohbitionsts too fire.
quenty have contented themselves with the bland
assertion that things were as they should be, and
have blinked at facts that were matter of common
knowledge.
Representative Champion of Michigan, an anti
saloon league spokesman said during debates that the
federal government coulc not do more than stop
smuggling, check leakage of alcohol under federal
supervision and handle the big cases. States and
local governments he said must do the police work.
If this method of enforcement is tried and CO.
operation of subordinate authorities is not forthcom-
ing, other means for meeting the situation will have
to be devised 1t is time we stopped initiating the

An interesting controversy has arisen between
Governor Trinkle of Virginia and Governor Mclean of
North Carolina relative to the merits Of the plan Of
bonding the state for the construction Of highways.
Governor Trinkle Of Virginia favors the "pay as
you 60" plan, and asserts that the issuance Of bonds
for road construction places an undue burden upon
p~osterity. There is no postponement of payment, no
shifting Of responsibility, no bonded Indebtedness left
as an inheritance to coming generations" when the
state constructs highways upon the pay as you 20"
basis, Governor Tinker says.
Governor Mclean Of North Carolina takes a view
directly opposite to that expressed by the Virginia
executive. The North Carolina governor believes it is
the duty of this generation to build roads in order
that posterity may profit thereby, though it Is un-
doubtedly true that posterity will bear at least part
of the financial burden. lone of the chief arguments
in favor Of building roads rapidly by the bond issue
plan Is that the use OF the road pays for its c%onstruc-
ton." Governor Mclean asserts.
The man who operates an automobile in North
Carolina pays an average of So annually to the state
in taxes, approximately half Of which is the annual
license tax and the other half a Accent tax on gasoline
Ne consumes. Under this plan those who use the roads
nav the interest and sinking funds on the bonds which
financed the construction Of the highways, and no adj
ditionaI burden is placed upon lands or other improve
ments. Instead OF following the pay as you 20"
plan, North Carolina has found it more satisfactory to
"pay as you ride" Governor Mclean declares.

There seems to be a great desire in Mexico to
extend its air service and especially to establish an air
mail service" Colonel Charles Lindbergh states in a
copyrighted article in the New York Times. Mexico
is fully cognizant Of the fact that establishment Of
airways and rapid communication would cement more
strongly the ties between that country and the United
States. and the Mexican people are practically unani-
nous in their approval Of anything which will improve
the relations between the two republics.

LEADERS OF BOTH PARTIES IN
SENATE LOOM LARGELY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Senators
Charlie Curtis OF Kansas and 10 Rob-
inson of Arkansas, respectively re-
publican and democratic leaders in
the upper house Of congress, have
been in Washington a good deal
lately. making rival brands of po-
htical medicine for the coming ses-
sion.
Both are presidential possibilities
Curtis very slightly so-Robinson
a little more noticeably, though not
in a violent form.
Curtis actually was in the run
ming for the vice presidential nom
nation in 1924. There was a spell
when things looked as if he really
might get it.. Perhaps he could il
he'd made a hard fight. but probably
il was no great temptation. He's a
bigger guy on the floor than he'd be
in the chair.
They say Charles has some Kiowa
blood and Indians proverbially aren't
talkative. He isn't, anyway-at best.
He shut up like a clam when told
that President Coolidge doesn't
choose" to run again in 1928.
Having stood some chance Of be-
ing picked for second place before,
he automatically graduates into at
least a theoretical chance for place
No. / this time, with Cal out Of the
way. 1t isn't much of a chance, to
be sure, but the senator doubtless
feels that il will pay him to keep
quiet for a space. while he examin-
ates ii thoroughly, such as It is, un-
der a microscope. TO determine to
the last kopeck just what it's worth.
A vice presidential chance and a
full presidential chance are two en-
tirely different things.
Senator Robinson was one Of the
first persons TO remark, when he
heard about the Coolidge announce
mcnt, that "choose" is a mighty
elastic word.
