The Booze Industry

Revelations in Philadelphia S investigation
of the illicit liquor traffic give some idea of the
magnitude of the industry
1t is well organized and financed, and like
many reputable businesses is presided over by
"czar," with power to arbitrate disputes
The car, it is said has been able to have indi-
viduals sent to prison, or killed, as seemed best
Gang murders have been part of the bust
ness. Police officers and other officials have
been paid to countenance violation of the law.
So profitable has the business been that
bootleggers deposited $10,0O0,000 in several
banks in a year, according to information
given the grand jury, This $10,OOO,00O must
represent small part of the ultimate profit of
the liquor traffic 1t obviously does not in
clude the profits of the hundreds of speakeasies
and small retail bootleggers.
Assume, however, that $100O0,0OO is fair
index. Philadelphia IS city of about 100000
people. If the liquor trade fourishes elsewhere
in similar way, the big bootleggers of the
country last year must have collected some
5000 900. This of course, is profit and no
indication Of the total turnover which must
have been many times that large.
Nor does this include the profits made by
grape growers, hop growers, malt manufacture
ers, bottle and cap Makers sugar refners, and
others whose trade has been stimulated greatly
by prohibition.

The Cat Comes Back

Gene Tunney visited Ireland and says he had a
wonderful time. While guest of honor at formal
dinner given by the great AmercanIrsh singer, John
Mccormack, Gene full evening dress, of course
including boiled shirt, spade-tail coat and all the
f1xins.
1t was nice party, for among those present was
United States Minister Sterling. But evidently there
was lack of understanding about the great change.
that came over the ex-champon when he quit the
prize ring and began playing with the exclusive
social register of New York and thereabouts
Nobody at the party seemed to know that Gene
had turned his back past he wants'to leave be-
hind him as he climbs upward into the social sunlighG
According to one story that comes from London,
the other guests wanted to know all about that little
affair with Dempsey; and Gene obliged. John Nc
Cormack played the part of the great Dempsey while
Gene gave an imitation of Tunney, going through a
pantomime with Mccormack and showing just how
the job done that made him the worlds cham
pon puglist.
It realistic enough so that good time was
had by all at the party.
The sad thing about it is that nobody asked Gene
to recite Shakespeare. Nobody asked him to sing
Nobody asked his opinion of ancient modern Irish
or English literature.
All they wanted was to see a real champion
put up his dukes, throw a mean left and wicked
right and demonstrate how he put the kibosh on
the Manassa Mauer-and even in full evening dress
And that's just what Tunney is trying to escape
It's darned cruel world Each of us forever is
trying to make others believe he is something he
actually isn't, and many of us get away with it. But
once we win reputation that turns the spotlight on
us and then try to lose it, we're up against tough
proposition-the pesky cat comes back
And even if Gene Tunney makes Shakespearean
pilgrimage to the Shakespearean shrine at stratford-
onAvon, the villagers will want to see him put up
his champion dukes.

World of Anomalies

Gales chooses" to quit and Al
bania chooses" a king. If this
were not a world of anomalies, one
might make much of the contrast.
1t is a world of anomalies, how
ever, so what is the use Of trying?
Hardly a day passes without its
two or more events which seem to
prove the opposite. Democracy is
champion in one place and chal-
lenged in another for the same rea-
son that everything else is. Crowd
whimS are no easier to explain than
individual whims.
Putting that aside, if the Al
banians prefer king, why isn't it
their privilege to have oneP Who
can say that they are wholly I'M
wise?
Not every people is fitted for
democracy, though we appear to
think so, and not every people wants
democracy, though we find it hard
to understand why.

A LII sorts of tests have been de-
N veloped to show whether or
not a child is developing normally
from the mental point of view.
If the child is to be feeblemind-
ed, it is important to know this as
soon as possible so that the great
est advantage can be taken Of the
early years in proper training.
Many tests have been worked out
to indicate whether or not the men
tality is up to what it should be
for child of that age.
In the Binet- Simon tests, which
are a standard, the child of 3
years is asked to show its mouth,
nose and eyes; it is asked to repeat
two numbers which are not consec-
utive, and it is given three oppor-
tunities to repeat numbers in this
way. If it succeeds once out Of
three times it is considered as not
below normal intelligence.
A simple test is to show the child
a picture in which there are four
or five objects of Importance and
to ask it to name the important
objects. A child of 8 years, if
normal mentally, is usually able to
do this. A common picture will
show a boy, a dog. a tree, a car or
some similar subject.
BY the time the child is 4 years
old it should know whether it is a
boy or girl, it should be able to
name successfully three familiar
objects shown to it, such as a spoon,
blade and a pencil, and to repeat
three nonconsecutive numbers.
The 6-year-old child should be
able to tell whether or not any par
ticular time of the day is noon or
evening; it should be able to define
the use o. a fork, a chair, a knife
or table.
The 8-year-old child should be
able to count from twenty to zero

Can Germany Pay7

The Dawes plan enters its most
crucial year. Hitherto it has oper-
ated on a rising scale of reparations.
From now on it will demand a fixed
payment of 2,5O0,0O0,000 marks or
$5O0,0OO,0O0 from Germany each
year.
This is an enormous sum for a
country even as rich and industri-
Gus as Germany. Financial experts
doubt whether she can stand the
burden. Their doubt is increased by
the refusal of the allies to fix the
total amount of reparations which
she must pay.
AS the situation now stands, Ger
many may be called upon to pay
$500,00O000 a year for half a CEN
fury and more. This, more than
anything else, fills her people with
hopeleSsness and Encouragement.
They visualize children yet unborn
having to shoulder the load-chil-
dren who we're in no wise reSpon-
Sible for the war. Such a prospect
is filled with emotional dynamite.
No man with intelligence can re-
gard it otherwise than as contain
ing the seeds Of future trouble.

divide the history OF science into periods. And from
point of view it is quite reasonable to regard the
fifteenth century the dividing line between the
old and the new
The fifteenth century was the century of the
Renaissance, the great revival of learning
The medical profession swept along by the
spirit of the Renaissance just the other arts
and sciences.
The Renaissance revived interest in the
study of the early Greek writer's and this applied
the medical field.
The medical professors took to the study of the
original manuscripts of HippocrateS and Galen and
many new additions we're published.
Sir William Osler called the leaders of this move
ment medical humanists" They had a triple inter
est, literature, medicine and natural history.
Among the chief names of the period were Linacre,
Champier, Ferne Gonthier, Caius and Gesner.
Thomas Linacre is of special interest as the
founder of the Royal College Of Physicians.
He edited many Greek works. made translations of
Gaen and taught Greek at the University of Oxford

Romance to Date

The GROWING of Zogu I reads like
a romance out of the Fourteenth
century. He took the oath on a
bible, as well as a Koran, liberated
1000 prisoners, promoted six colonies
to the rank of general and decreed
bonuses of one months pay for
State employees.
Other features Of the ceremony
gave it more modern aspect. There
was no crown, no sceptre and no
kneeling.
You cannot get away from custom,
whether new or old. Some things
have gone out of date for good, and
some others which remain are great
ly modified. Habits and customs,
whether born of tradition, or Gre
alive intelligence, come to dominate
every human activity.
The King of Afghanistan dresses
his Parliament in frock coats and
shaveS its .whiSkerS.
Kings may still reign, but they
never can be the kind they once
were.

Ideas Of Glory

A rusted pontoon tells the stern
fate Of Amundsen. He died as he
could have wished-in harness and
on mission of humanity.
Not only was he trying to rescue
his fellow men, but one among
them, who had treated him with
shameful discourteSy.
Most men who had suffered as
Amundsen did at the hands of
Mobile, would have left him to his
fate without raising a hand. Not
so this strange and restless spirit.
Mobile had his idea of how to
gain glory, Amundsen had his. The
future, that memorable sitter of
human conduct, will determine who
was right.

SAYS:

is a big thing President

THIS is a big thing President
Il Gales has done-big enough to
stamp him as one in a million.
1t goes without saying that he
could have retained power if he
would. 1t also goes without saying
that he must have been tempted to
do SO not only by the wishes of his
friends, but by the challenge of his
foes. Even some of those who hate
him hoped he would, for the strong
man" tradition still plays a major
part in Mexican politics.
A republic can not be developed
through dictatorship, however. and
eventually people must assume the
responsibilities of self government
if they would enjoy its advantages.
That seems to be the idea Gales
is trying to impress on Mexico.
He announces his intention of
quitting the presidency for good and
all at the expiration of his term,
Dec. l, which not only gives the
people of Mexico their rightful
chance, but brings the revolution to
a logical conclusion.
The stage is well set for such an
experiment. With Obregon dead
and Gales out, no dominating fig
ure remains to balk the public will.
The one risk consists in habit of
thought which has prevailed ever
since Hidalgo raised the standard of
revolution. Has Mexico come to a
point where she can think in terms
of principle, rather than in names,
where she can form parties instead
of depending on leaders?

REASON

TT seems incredible that Raskob
l. would say that Smith didn't
mean it when he declared against
the equalization fee, and it seems
impossible for Raskob to stay in
the national Craftsmanship after
Smiths rebuke.
Unless Raskob, when he plunged
into politics, took with him all the
shock abSorbers General Motors
had, he will quit the candidates and
return to the carburetors.
But those familiar with politics
are not amazed at this Raskobilian
folly, for they know that a cluster
of listening ears has an irresistible
lure for one suddenly endowed with
eminence and notoriety.
Such gentleman simply can't
keep still.

the Garden of Eden, instead of an

Once more D. C. Stephenson, who intro
duced the system of getting his candidates for
office to sign OH the dotted line, is trying
to get free by appealing to the courts for the
traditional writ of habeas corpus.
Presumably, and certainly, the highest court
will determine his legal rights in this and all
other matters
But aside from his court actions, Stephen
son makes one charge which demands public
attention and inquiry.
His recent lawyers declare that the attor-
ney or attorneys which have acted for him in
other times never represented his interests, but
really acted in behalf of certain persons inter
ested in keeping this famous prisoner behind
the walls of Michigan City.
The public is interested in this phase of
the matter because Of its knowledge of what
happened when the grand jury that delved into
the Black Boxes and other scandals, discov-
cred peculiar activity on the part of theslaw-
yer who filed the appeal for Stephenson in the
Supreme Court.
AS result Of the disappearance of many
important witnesses including the custodian
Of the Black Boxes, and former stenographer
for the grand dragon who lived for days under
an assumed name at high priced Cincinnati
hotel, the grand jury recommended that this
lawyer, Kiplinger of Rushville, be prosecuted
for contempt Of court.
Thus far the Office of Prosecutor Remy
has failed to file these charges and there may
be reason for this delay. It now becomes
more than ever important that the recommen-
dalton of that particular grand jury, in which
the people had the utmost confidence, be fol-
lowed and forever determine whether the new
charge of Stephenson that he was betrayed by
legal advisers is false or true.
If it be true, who then had an important
interest in keeping Stephenson silent and IN
prison?
What was the reason behind the peculiar
disappearance Of Witnesses
They possessed and shared the secrets OF
Stephenson. But they could not serve his In
terests by running away at time when
Stephenson was telling everything he knew.
1t is important now because the people are
again about to vote and the candidate for Gov
ernor on the Republican ticket has as his
strongest Endorsement the statement OF Gov
ernor Ed jackson that Leslie is just the man
he would select as his successor.
1t is important because the people are about
to send a Congressman to Washington and may
wish to indorse that written contract signed
by Congressman Updike with Stephenson,
promising patronage and the naming of post
master for this city, in return for support Or
they may decide to send Louis Ludlow, famous
newspaper man and different type entirely.
1t is important because Arthur Robinson
once the close friend of Stephenson, is trying
to get back to the United States Senate.
Stephenson is important as long as any
man who served him is candidate for office.
