Editorial Comment
A WET GAIN THAT MEANS NOTHING
minneapolis JournaD


The vets seeking comfort in the results of the
recent prohibition referendum in North Dakota. Ir
the baoting last week the question of taking the
dry clause out Of the State Constitution, the drys
poled less than ftytwo per cent of the total vote
whereas in the referendum the State Enforcement,
Act in 1916, the drys poled than fiftyfour pei
cent Of the total vote.
If the vets get any comfort out Of that let them
enjoy it in peace. Twelve years ago wet majority
would have meant something. 1t would have legalized
the sale Of liquor in commonwealth that had been
dry since it became a State This year wet
majority would have meant virtually nothing. North
Dakota would have remained dry under the Eighteen
Amendment, the Volstead Act and State Legislation
enacted under the Federal Amendment.
II the time ever comes when North Dakotans fine
themselves voting the question Of actually taking
off the liquor lid the chances that the dry majority
will be larger, instead Of smaller than was the case
twelve years ago.

BYRD ON THE AIR HAZARDS

Commander Richard f. Byrd, whose flights to the
North Pole and across the Atlantic we'll remem-
bered is protesting against transoceanic distance
flights, declaring they to death because
of improper preparation for them and because flying
hysteria' for the moment sweeps the air world
Byrd is authority aeronautics. He points out
IS flyers have been lost in connection with ocean
flights. The mortality percentage is higher than that
in the front line trenches in France in 1918.
Byrd has been analysing the major causes for air
disaster. He lists them Crash at take-of due
overloaded plane and too small take-off feld forced
landings in unseaworthy panes crash in fog dark
ness; fuel exhausted due to plane being far Of
from faulty navigation; inadequate flight in
struments; inexperience in flying in fog.
Byrd writes: II personally and with the greatest
reluctance venture to protest. hope this is pre-
sumption my part. It simply happens that have
given many years Of time and thought and investga-
ton to the problem of long distance flights
in 1913 began flying out Of sight of land to test the
possibility of navigating airplane ship is
navigated But when, abruptly, scientific research re-
solves itself largely into emotionalism and the gain
is naught compared with the loss of precious lives,
then the spectacle casts doubt upon the project"
Byrd makes it clear there is wide difference between
technically wel-prepared flight and flight merely
motivated by desire to fly somewhere.
Every flight failure due to faulty preparation is
hating the rapid development of aeronautics and
enne the public confidence in the men and ships of
the air.
Byrds protest is timely and most evidently ground
ed in facts.

POLITICAL CLIMBERS

ungracefu act is performed. The public should turn

tacles have been observed this year in both political
camps. Governor Lowden has not yet exhibited, but
every other prominent Republican who opposed the
nomination of Secretary Hoover, and vowed that it
would mean overwhelming party defeat, has emerged
from his cave of gloom long enough to say that the

Mr. Hoover does this, he will have to sweep away lot

Secretary Of Commerce. But it would seem that
when Senator Curtis after his angry speeches about

blush, swallow anything he has said.

weeks depending on the production
schedule.

So, Denny, disliking the idle life
between pictures, started writing
screen stories. In fact he liked them

himself. Since the director and
Carl Laemmle also liked the stories
they were put into production. They

In the national and state campaigns now opening it
is clearly evident that prohibition is to be command
ing ISSUE 1t is one in which every good citizen is
interested. There good citizens in both the wet
and dry groups, of course.
Fanaticism there is in both groups but the battle
is grounded in certain sane and perfectly legitimate
questions. Here are some Of them
Is prohibition becoming to temperance.
Has temperance by force improved temperance by
choice.
What are the benefits of prohibition?
Do they overbalance its evident defects?
Why has enforcement broken down it has:
Who is responsible?
Is better enforcement possible?
What condition can be brought about that will be
an improvement upon the condition now existing?
Has prohibition had fair trial?
What will be the result if present conditions con-
tinue for so years?
Can the government engage in the liquor business
in regulatory capacity with any better results than
are evident?
These all fair questions and go to the root of
the matter. There is for them. Who is
prepared to give it?
Prohibition for the time has become a political
football with certain spectacular possibilities.
1t is useless to minimize the revolt against prohibi-
ton. The facts too plain.
Yet the question follows logically Is the revolt
against the principle of prohibition against lax law
enforcement that has created present conditions?
Neither the vets the drys in this campaign are in

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question: F. w. asks: "Will YOU
please tell me if the menus printed
once q week in your column are re-
ducing menus? I am too heavy and
would like a balanced diet which
would take off ten or fifteen pounds.
Have been following your instruc-
tions but do not lose by using your
weekly menus"
Answer: If you want to reduce.
/ would advise you to change the
weekly menus somewhat. A simple
way. to do is to substitute fruit
meal in place of any meal including
starch. If you are overweight and
will do this, you will probably lose
from three to five pounds a week.
Question:: NJ. asks: "Is it healthy
to drink glass or two of sweet
milk Just before retiring every
Answer: Not unless you are on
exclusive milk diet, in which case
your schedule might extend to bed
time, depending upon how much milk
you were taking. Ordinarily, when
milk is used at all. it should be used
as meal itself, and not in addition
to any Of the customary three meals
a day.
Question: S. H. writes: 81 am a
young man of 20 years and have
heart trouble (mitral stenosis) which
has existed since birth. have
heard that near my 21st birthday I
may expect a change for the better,
the explanation being given that
during youth at intervals of seven
years change occurs. Is this true ?"
Answer: It is true that heart
disorders of childhood often grad
ually disappear after adolescence,
but do not depend too much upon
this possible change. Begin eating
correctly so that you do not have an
excessive amount of gas pressure
against your heart as such gas pres
sure is the most common cause of
all heart arrangements.
