BISMARCK, N. D., Aug. 2s.-Gov-
ernor Arthur C. Sorlie of North Da-
kota died here at Gas a. m. today
of heart disease. He was 81 years
old and had twice been elected Gov
ernor on a Republican ticket. Mrs.
Sorlie and other members of the
family were at the bedside.
Although no official bulletins had
been issued from the Governors
temporary home here it had been
known for several days that he was
near death.
He was born in Albert Lea, Mimi,
April 26, 1874. He went to North
Dakota several years ago.
The death of Governor A. G.
Sorlie today removed from the
ranks Of the non-partisan Republic
an faction one of the strongest ad-
vocates of State owned industries.
The business man Governor was
always one of the boosters of the
State owned flour mill at Grand
Forks which, according to a fact
finding legislative committee, has
cost the State millions of dollars.
Sorlie was said to have upheld
staunchly operation of the mill de-
spite the loss to the tax payers of
the State, on the grounds that it
was good advertising"
Sorlie was among the leaders of
advocates for farm relief. When
the idea of leading a caravan upon
the Republican convention in June
was propounded, he swung behind it
enthusiastically.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-A home
where liquor is sold is a saloon in
effect, Mrs. Mabel Walker Willie
brandt, assistant United States at
torney general in charge of prohi-
bition, said today
Mrs. Willebrandt was emphatic i'll
repudiating the suggestion that the
recent action of u S. Attorney Gift
ford at Minneapolis. seeking to pad
lock a number of dwellings, was an
invasion of the home.
"Only places proven in court to
be saloons-places where liquor is
sold-can be padlocked," she said.
In this connection, Mrs. WILLIE
brandt disclosed that the Govern
ment is powerless to enter a home
on evidence that liquor is being
manufactured there.
This, which should be good news
to homebrewers, is caused by the
fact that the search-warrant clause
of the Volstead Act applies only to
sales, and not to manufacture or
possession.

We only cared for him as every baby should be cared for-not in an ultra scientific man. ner but with love tempered by in- telligence and common sense.
 What he does on the screen he does through love of his parents. l hope this does not sound too sen timental. for 1t is true. I know there are parents who scold or spank their children. Sonny doesn't know what either means.
 One thing we always have in- sisted upon is absolute obedience. though. This is perhaps the most important essential for a child screen actor. for he must be able to follow instructions quickly without undue prompting.
 Sonny takes directions like a sol dier. but 1t is all great game with him. It was months before he even knew what the camera meant. He was simply used to doing what his father told him to do. And in ad- dition he happened 10 have a camera face and screen personality
 Sonny's father was once an ath- letic instructor and gives much at tention to the baby's physical de- velopment.

Child Scourge
 Being Defeated
Science Is Slowly Scoring Over Infantile Paralysis.

Boston, April Infantilc ia- ralysis, the dreaded child scourgc of all ages. has been dealt quite a blow by discovery of the Harvard In- fantile Paralysis Commission.
 The new cure, announced by Dr. w. Lloyd Aycock. research expert of the commission. consists Of serum taken from patients recovered from the disease.
 Hundreds of the experiments by the commission have proved that the cure is practical. Tn only one casc, that of sufferer in the final stages of the disease, did it fail.
 However. pr. Aycock says of the experiments:
 We cannot as yet definitely say that this serum treatment is gong to cure every ease. But it is my opln- ion, after extensive research. that If the serum is applied at a sufficiently early stage of the disease it will un- doubtcdly prevent serious effects. and will in great many cases ront the disease altogether With more experimentation We hope to prove 1t an absolute curc.'
 This disease, which makes up a large per cent Of tn" child death rate, and is known 10 cause nor" than 90 per cent of child-crippllne, enters the body through the mouth or nose. It may stay in the body in dormant state for years. and then. lightning-like, strike at the spinal cord. destroy nerves tentcrs, and make muscles useless.
