HELSINGFORS, finland, Sept. ID
Flying low over the Baltic Sea
about twelve miles off the coast OF
Finland, between Abo and HelSing-
fors, we spotted a number of small
steamers apparently riding at
anchor.
Rum Row." shouted my fellow
passenger, an English-speaking
Swede, who lives in the Finnish
capital. Smiling broadly, he added:
Reminds you of home, eh!"
Indeed it did. I thought of
Americas brazen fleet of rum run
ners, anchored off our coast, laugh
ing at our laws and costing us mil
lions of dollars a year while they
pile up huge fortunes selling booze
in country where, theoretically at
least, nobody is supposed to take
drink.
Here was its exact counterpart,
twelve miles out, thunbing its nose
at the Finnish government. Watch
the ships? Yes, of course, Finland
does. And every now and then
landing parties of rum runners are
caught and jailed.
Prohibition Doesn't Prohibit
But Fin1and's coast is difficult,
like ours, and comparatively long
and hard to keep under surveillance.
So the run-running goes on.
Upon landing 1 found they were
rum ships. The Baltic never is with
out them. In Finland, as in Amer
lea, large proportion of respectable
citizens refuse to admit that moder-
ate use of alcoholic beverages is a
crime, so the rum-runners supply
them.
The Finnish customs bureau pre-
viouSly had sent out two revenue
cutters to investigate and report on
conditions along the coast. BY
agreement among the Baltic powers

Bryson arranged today with Will

from the National Guard for use
two two weeks before Christmas.
Last year thirty were borrowed by
the poStoff1ce.
IF the public just would take a

Magdalena of the same port, and
the Carmen Sylvia, Rumania.
Not one Of these ships, I was told,
really belonged to the country
whose flag it was flying. The true
home ports of them all, it was said,
were in Esthonia, Latvia, and Ger
many, all members of the anti
smuggling pact.
These seven ships alone, accord
ing to customs officials, had on
board 100000 quarts of alcohol
and other spirits.
AS my fellow seaplane passenger
had remarked, all this was very like

Temperance, cannot be made a mere
matter of laws" he said, because
you completely overlook the human
equation, the biggest factor in liquor
control. Laws having temperance

bound to fail unless the human ele-
ment is made the prime considera-
tion."

mop" Is your first reaction to. the
announcement that your favorite team
has lost. You do this as stall. Tne
news is undesirable. You had hoped
and expected the opposite result, and
therefore are not prepared. You need
time to gather your thoughts and TO
get used to defeat. Sometimes 1t Is not
an easy matter to make these ADJUST
ments. 1t may involve the loss OF
money or of pride or OF prestige. In
any case you don't want to believe IL.
The next thing you do Is to question
the source of the information in the
hope that it is a mistake. This Is why
we invariably use the expression who
told you?" when we hear something
that Is undesirable or incredible. In
either case the statement does not Mt
in with our ideas, our wishes and our
prejudices.
The statement "Who told you?" also
questions the authority of the person
making the pronouncement. Without
meaning to be insulting, we are vir-
tually calling our informant a liar, or
at least we question his knowledge OF
the matter if not his veracity. Thus
while we all use the expression "Who
told you?" we dislike to have it used
against us. A professor who was being
constantly challenged by the statement
What Is your authority for that?"
finally retorted in his evaporation:
% it, I'm authority myself" That
is just about how we all feel when we
hear the familiar expression "Who told
you?" Nevertheless, we keep on asking
others the same question when what
they say is not to our liking or IS too
strange or too good to be true.
In addition to the motive Of ques-
tioning the authority and stalling for

knitting silk for the medium. The cro-
cheting must be worked with loose
tension to accommodate the give OF the
round garter it is to cover.
The best way to crochet the cover Is
to make it in tube shape. BY ending
each row with a slip stitch and starting
each new row as if the first at the
beginning of the work, this will be
found as simple as making one strip
and scanning it together. The disad-
vantage of the strip style Is that 1t has
to be scanned to form the tube through
which to run the elastic. Unless the
stitches are elastic also, the cover will
be taut where the seam comes. How
ever, if the worker prefers the strip
crocheting, and exercises care In the
scanning, the result can be satisfactory;
The strip must be twice the width OF
the garter elastic.
Openwork knitting can be used with
the same results in either the round or
fiat knitting. Solid crochet or plain
garter knitting can be used in which
case a cotton garter elastic is all that
is needed, for it will be entirely con-
cealed. In the filet or drop stitch knit
ting it Is wise to use silk elastic garters,
as the weave shows THROUGH the open
work. The knit or crocheted covers
will outlast the elastic bands, and can
be used for several pairs of garters.
This makes them decidedly economical
for fancy garters.
Flat crocheted flowers make delight
full trimming for the garters. The
flowers should be small. Fancy cro-
cheted or knit ornaments are equally
good. Tiny rosettes of ribbon or fancy
metal buckles are other ornaments sug-
gested. A pair of these garterS is a
gift that has the appeal Of beauty and
also of usefulness.

Helping Hands

the wailing, luckleSs crewl The signs Of
suffering abound, and there Is sorrow
all around and / would gladly help
relieve the stricken ones who weep and
grieve. But I am finding 1t so hard
to pay the butcher for his lard. the
grocer for his boneless prunes, the tailor
for his pantaloons; I must be deaf to
human ills-it keeps me broke to pay
my bills" The Red Cross people send
him word how all the Nation has been
stirred by tidings Of disaster dire, OF
flood or famine, storm or fire; won't he
dig up like other gents? And he re-
spends with SO cents. His heart Is good,
he'd gladly aid when signs OF trouble
are displayed; but he must have his
shining car, his rich Havana made cigar
brand-new suit although he owns
some 20 suits of divers tones, and he
must have his board supplied with all
the market can provide; and SO he has
but little left to help the stricken and
bereft If he but had a million bucks,
he'd send out, daily, loaded trucks, con-
veying bread and pies and wurst to those
by poverty accurst. II he but had a
million scads he'd purchase pills and
liver pads for all who suffer and are
sick, but he can't pull SO fine trick.
So people reason every day: they have
no coin to give away because they can't
deny themselves the good things on the
merchants shelves; like millionaireS
they all must live, and so they have few
groatS to give. WALT MASON.

time being Redtail was the most dan
gerouS. Up inss4hats tree or even on
top of the fence, if he Kept moving he
was reasonably safe from Reddy Fox.
But he wasn't safe from Redtail. Red
tail could pick him right out OF that
tree or right off the fence. He kept
his eyes fixed on Redtail. He saw Red
tail start to swoop. Rusty made fly
ing leap to the top rail OF that old
fence. And how he did race along it!
Redtail had to stop himself and once
more get into position to swoop. Mean
whilc, Reddy Fox went racing along be-
low. Reddy's eyes sparkled with ex-
citement. This was sport! At least,
it was sport to Reddy.
Redtail screamed angrily and once
more shot down toward Rusty. When
do you think Rusty did this time? He
Just whirled right around to the under
side of that rail, and there he clung.
There was nothing for Redtail to seize.
It was done so quickly that 1t took
Reddy Fox by surprise, and before
Reddy could jump, Rusty had once
more whisked up to the other side OF
the rail, while Redtail the Hawk was
beating his way up in the air for an
other swoop.
1t was a desperate game. Yes, in
deed, it was a desperate camel No one
realized it more fully than did Rusty.
But he wouldn't give up. No, sir, he
meant to try just as long as there was
any chance at all. He raced along an
other rail and up on top Of the next
fence post. He had just time for a
hasty look ahead. Then Redtail came
swooping down once more. This time
Rusty lodged around the old post
There were some thick bushes right In
there, and Reddy Fox had no room to
Jump So once more Redtail was fooled
and once more Reddy Fox snapped his
jaws in vain.
But this time, when Rusty once more
was on top of the fence post, he was
not altogether without hope. That
hasty look he had given before had
discovered something. Yes, sir, it had
discovered something that gave him a
beeny-weeny bit of hope.
"I'll beat them yeti" said Rusty to
himself. Eyes, sir, 'I'll beat them yeti"

Among the accessories that have
found favor for gifts in the past Jew
years are garters. No longer are they
the prcSaic articles of generation ago,
being useful without the ornamental
element. Today they are as dainty and
attractive as any of milady'S other ap-
pointments of costume.
Those who are acquainted with the
history of coStunling will remember
that narrow bands of knitting about l
inch wide and yard or more long
were the garters of olden times. Be-
cause of this use of plain knitting
stitch, the name garter stitch" was
given to it, and the term has continued
through the years. The inherent elas-
ticity of knitting was the reason why
garters were fashioned from knitted
strips, and it is this same reason that
is responsible for the type of modern
garters under discussion today. These
may be of ordinary knitting or they
may be of crochet, similar craft
worked with single needle.
To adjust the old-time garterS the
long band of knitting was wound sew
eral times quite tightly about the stock
inged leg, and then the end was tucked
under the coil, concealing it and fasten-
ing the garter at one and the same
time. To adjust the modern knltteo or
crocheted garters no such process Is
needed. They are slipped over the feet
and drawn up like any round garter, Tor
underneath is an ordinary garter OF
silk or cotton woven rubber banding.
The characteristic of elasticity is COM
mon to knitting, crocheting and garter
elastic" making handicraft combine
well with the machine weaving.
Those who are busy making Christ
mas gifts can add these knit or cro-
cheted covered fancy garters to their
list of attractive articles. One Of the
daintiest styles is of filet crochet, using

cleansing. It Is essential to protect tbs
skin of the face and neck with oily
foundation cream and powder before
you venture outdoors. The skin OF the
hands must also be covered with a pro-
tective coating Of hand lotion. Since it
is inconvenient to use an oily lotion for
this purpose in the day time, a jelly or
yreaseless preparation may be rubbed en-.
Here is a recipe that IS particularly
good: Two drains white gum tragacanth,

the rcsa water until soft. Dissolve the
borax in the glycerin. Now blend the
ingredients together, adding the benZoin
last drop by drop. At bedtime an oily
food cream should be maSsaged into
the hands and left on all night.
Besides protection, the dry skin needs
careful cleansing. Soap and water
should be used very sparingly. Their
place may be taken by special cleans
ing oil or good cleansing cream. Tbs
former may be made of two ounces oil

almonds, two drains cologne water, hve
drops tincture OF benzoin.

Will You Succeed !?
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM

Text-"Thou shalt have good Sue

Let's be specific. Let's consider the
question, not in relation to life in gen.
eral but with regard to the particular
enterprise which you are just now
planning to launch Is that enterprise
going to be a success or a failure?
I do not profess to be prophet nor
the son of a prophet, but believe
can answer the question for you. AS
suming that you possess average ability
and that you have used average CON-
mon sense in determining upon your
undertaking, I can see no reason why
you should not put it across. Others
are putting things across right along
and why should you not do 1t? You
can II you have the will and persist
ence to hold on. 1t all depends upon
just that as to whether you are going
to succeed or not.
Consider this from the writings oi
Maltbie Davenport Babcock: "One oi
the commonest mistakes, and one Of the
costliest, is thinking that success Il
due to some genius, some magic
something or other which we do moi
possess. Success is generally due Il
holding on, and failure to letting go
You decide to learn language, study

yourself physically. Will it be success
or failure? 1t depends upon how much
pluck and perseverance that word de
eide contains. The decision that moth
ing can overrule, the grip that nothing
can detach, with bring success"
Success is not so much a question
of genius; 1t is more question of grit

Reddy Fox, down below, hardly knew

didn't want Redtail to catch Rusty. On
the other hand, unless Rusty should
come down out of that tree, there was
small chance that he (Reddy) would
be able to catch him. Perhaps if Red
tail should swoop at him it might scare
Rusty into jumping. Reddy looked UP
at Redtail swinging in circles right
above the tree and grinned.
