EXTRACTING TEETH FROM
 VOLSTEADISM.

Now Mr Whitney, legal adviser for the Prohibition enforcement officers of the North west, to say that it will be safe for people to make wine and beer for home consumption-but not for sale. And let be known that MT. Whit ney is a good lawyer. He a successful practitioner at the Seattle bar before and after he entered politics, and he has hosts of friends who have the utmost confidence in his efficiency and good faith as an official
 MT. Whitney's statement considered in con nection with recent orders of Commissioner Doran and others in high Prohibition enforcement make Vosteadism less obnoxious to people than has been the in the past It causes one to recall the interview given out by the Commissioner at Seattle last June when he de- clared that liquor not being kept away from the white collar element of the population, and said the enforcement authority would be satisfied if it kept from workngmen, the producers, that quality and quantity in production might not be affected He said that even the vets must admit that "Prohibition is better than no liquor at all.'
 However, people must not forget that MT. Whitney and Commissioner Doran in their state ments and orders have had reference to the Alaska Bone Dry Law. The Supreme Court has held that to obtain search warrant under the Alaska law evidence of sale must be produced. But the possession of liquor is crime in Alaska whenever it may be legally proved.

THE SWITCHING CONTINUES.

Former Senator Magnus Johnson (there is only one genuine Magnus Johnson) has come out for Gov. Smith the only out for the Min nesota farmers. Henry Brecknridge, Assistant Secretary of War under Secretary Newton D. Baker, has come out for Hoover because he knows him, likes him and regards him as a great example of the manhood of America"
 John A. McSparran, former Democratic nom- inee for Governor of Pennsylvania, orator for the drys at Houston, in withdrawing as the Demo- cratic nominee for Congress in his Pennsylvania Congressional district, said he would vote for Hoover, because he had definitely promised that he would oppose tampering with the Eighteenth Amendment. Mrs Lucy Reed high in the coun- cils of the w. c. T. U of Tennessee. is for Gov. Smith because she prefers modification to null- fcation of the Volstead Act. She declares that far have had nothing but nullifcation in the farcical so-called enforcement.
 Dr. Thomas former President of Bryn-Mawr, is for Hoover because he does not want to hear the tread of the Tammany tiger in the White House. Frank G. Snow, Illinois banker and farmer and lifelong Republican, says Gov. Smiths candidacy offers the farmers fifty dol lars acre. for their votes and he is for him. though he will support the Republican State ticket.

Generosity Can Be Ouerdone, Child Expert Finds

tude and praise was the sweetest
music he had ever heard; and his
pity for them induced him to beg,
borrow or steal for them.
Children have the reputation of
being selfish and thoughtIess. AS
matter of fact they adore giving.
Most of them like to give so long
as it does not deprive them Of any
comforts. But there Are plenty of
boys and girls who are overly gem
erous and are easy marks for
their associates.
Selfishness is a deplorabie trait,
of courseone that brings its own
punishment. For undoubtedly the
selfish people are the most un-
happy even though they calmly
take the best of all the material
things available. Che unselfish
ones get a peculiar joy. sort of
exhiIaration and spiritual uplift
that others miss. But this is a
practical, work-a-!ay world, and
children might just as well have
their just dues.
If your blessed young ones are
the overlygenerous kind, then en-
courage them to take aid keep
what rightly belongs to them.

WISH TO-KNOW.
A FORK should be held within
"A the palm, with the end Of
the handle securely held in the
center of the palm. The first
finger extends down the handle,
pointing to the prongs, and press
ing firmly on point about half
an inch from the base of the
prongs. The thumb and other
fingers close around the handle
so that the hand gets a firm
grip on the fork.
2. The knife is held in the right
hand in the same way that the
fork is held in the left, and with
the firmness that is necessary for
cutting. If the knife is well.
made, the tip of the handle should
fit into the center of the palm.
The index finger points down the
back of \the handle. The thumb
and other fingers are supple

position.
Once the knife-or the fork
has been used in a. course, the
handle must not again touch the
table. When the knife is not in
use it rests on the rim of the
plate.
g. At the end of course, place
your knife and fork together on
the plate, side by side. The han
dies are turned slightly to the
right. Since the knife has been
held in the right hand. it Is
natural and convenient to place it
on the right of the fork. The cut.
