The recent death of Elinor Wylie stopped the career of young woman who promised to add materially to American literature that is being developed in a manner that is attract ing the attention of the world She had already earned high place for herself, and a lasting one. Some of the best verse in the English language and few novels written in poetic prose ex- emplihed vivid imagination, literary style that charmed and passion for research that challenged serious thought

Fifty-Five Thousand Cases.
(New York World. }


 That section Of the annual report of the De- partment of Justice which deals with prohibition has been written by Mrs Mabel Walker Willie brandt. Among other facts Mrs. Willebrandt reports that 55,792 criminal prosecutions under the Vostead Act started by the Federal Government during the past year. In other mat ters than prohibition the Government initiated 4983S cases. | is clear, therefore, that we have now reached point where the business of att tempting to enforce the Volstead Act involves the Government in more litigation than the at tempt to enforce ala of other laws which have been written on the stgtute books in the last 40 years. Ss
 This fact gives some measure of the degree to which the country has accepted" prohibition But since the law is there and since MT Hoover is pledged to enforce it and since not even Mrs WilleDfandt can claim that fraction of the violations of he law now reach the coryts. we hafe avery reason to expect ;Iat when the next annual report of the Department of Justice is made IL will be more top-heayy in it's ep, Iphasis on prohibition cases

APPRECIATIVE OF THE COAST GUARD
 SERVICE.

ation with an editorial the subject of tn ranch of the Government service, and refe ) it's work in Alaska. The editorial, appearir nder the heading Adventure Ahoat" is who appreciatve of the work the Coast Guard oing in Alaska It follows
 There is no more adventure at sea, one hears it said sometimes Pirates have disappeared while cannibal islands have been civilized to the point ol of fering a shipwrecked mariner dry shirt and feeding anstead of feeding uponl nina Ships no longer loaf around the world on long voyaees pokinE their noses into strang paits tn search ot cargo The trade of the world has been organized into fixed routes over some single one of which nearly every vessel Ihutt es back and torRl monoton- ously.
 The argument is more plausible than profound. Every age has thought adventure to have been more abundant in some previous one. Neither the buc- cancers nor the New Bedford whaers conceived of themselves as engaged in adventure; it was grinding hard way of making a living. hundred years hence the life of deckhand New York City ferryboat may appear as the height Of romance. But even judged by conventional standards there Is still adventure ai sea. For prool we turn to most unlikely quarter-one Of the serYices of the Federal Goyernment- and draw our material from the sober pages of the Annual Report of the United States Coast Guard, 1928. The stated duty of this service s to patrol the Alaskan coast enforcing the inter- national seal-and-hsheries convention of 1911 But. besides, the vessels transport Government officers, school teachers na tives, desttutes prisoners, and others carry mail and freight to isolated set dement's, provide medical and dental treatment aid vessels ia distress set tie differences. between employers and omploy ees and assist in administering justice In carrying out these duties in 1929 five Coast Guard cutters cruised 46,000 miles transported SS1 persons, gave medical aid to 192 persons, board ed 147 vessels and aided vessels
 There is q variety and human touch in that which constitutes adventure in the true sense, and be brief logs Of the five vessels which engaged in this service in 1927 add aelails to confirm
