Prohibition Enforcement Act
For District of Columbia

TT inevitable that the Wickerham suggestion Of State
enforcement Of the prohibition act would lead to revival
Of efforts to have Congress enact special enforcement act
for the District compelling all policemen to function dry
agents
Three four bills along this line and other lines
pending in Congress and viii receive attention at the regular
session, beginning in December.
Many Of these quite drastic The Sproul BILL for
example tghtens upon physicians and drug stores in the
matter Of whisky prescriptions It declares any ROOM house.

kept to be common nuisance, and the Of the
building made liable His place may be sold pay fines
assessed against the tenant guilty Of maintaining such
nuisance.
It will be sorry day for the Washington Police Department
when Congress adopts special enforcement here
will be bad day for taxpayers, because viii call for
additional policemen.
AT the present time So policemen have authority to enforce
the Volstead act They constitute special liquor squad
No matter how well they do their duty and they d most
efficiently, they often charged with eousion with
runners and speakeasies, and with taking bribes.
Make all policemen Vostead enforcers and all Of them
become enmeshed the dirt and degradation Of enforcement
and subject to vile intmatons Of cousion protection

Department win find that drastic dry members Of Congress
will howl their heads off about the law being enforced
here and will be constantly attacking the Police Department
Responsibility for enforcement will be shifted from Federal

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

NV1E craving for excitement Ii
= such q common trait that it
amounts almost to an instinct.
We find 1t in every walk of life.
Almost everybody seems to be up
set by it.
People run after fire engines.
Some win chase an ambulance.
A mouse running along a street
causes q stir.
Individuals will gather into
crowds at the slightest provocation.
This craving for excitement
dates away back.
The Greeks and Romans under.
stood human nature very well and
they turned their knowledge to
good advantage. They made use
of the appeal Of excitement when
they held gladiatorial contests in
the arena. The people had to have
fun or they became rsstive.
Excitement. however unless it
be too violent. has q distincly
stimulating influence on the body
and mind. That is its beneficial
side.
But, although we all crave ex-.
element now and again, we need
not run to find it or get ourselves
mixed up in crowd.
A swiftly-moving short story will
accomplish the same results. Music
can also excite. Drama Is one OF
the best ways of rousing emotion.
In fact, a drama that does not
start the emotions bubbling IL no
drama at all.
We must be careful, however,
not to let ourselves b excited too
easily.
Continual excitement wears and
tears the nervous system. Excite
ment, too long drawn out, will also
affect the body, causing digestive

the end. hardening Of the arteries.
One often wonders why million
aires keep on trying to accumulate
money. Excitement undoubtedly
is one of the chief factors that
holds them.
Then take the people who go In
for hazardous explorations, who DO
airplane stunts or who delight in
hunting big game or in penetrat-
ing jungles. Excitement again is
the chief motivating cause.
During the late world war much
bravery was exhibited because OF
the craving for excitement.
This Is not belittling what was
done for many wonderful achieve
|. ments have been brought about
for the same reason.
In savage days man had to be
on the alert all the time for fear
of attack by other savages and
wild animals. Excitement became
q habit.
We still possess some OF these
traits, only we must realize that
it is no longer either necessary or
desirable to be continually on the
alert.
Have your share Of excitement
but take it in small doses at inter
walls IL you would preserve your
physical and mental health.
Excitement which Is too power
ful or too long drawn out can
wreck an individual the same as
a high.powered motor can wreck
q chassis.
Exercise your excitement urge

SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland.
Sidelights on Men

Sidelights on Men
MY daughter, heed my maxims
N1 and scorn not my wisdom.
For the dumb may learn from
experience, but the wise prefer
to start with a working knowl-
edge of the game.
Go to. 1t hath been said that
a man possesseth a keener sense
of humor than a woman, but
what doth it profit him?
For, when a brother-man is
being played by a woman and
made a fool of by a damsel, he
perceiveth 1t plainly and is scorn-
full. But when he. himself, is
dangled and made to look fool
ish, he is blind to his own folly.
He seeth not the joke.
Verify, a bachelor under 30
must be enticed with subtlety
and fed only with disguised and
diluted flattery. He is filled
with suspicion.
But when a mans years are
more than 40 he can swallow
thine applesauce STRAIGHT.
For discretion is not IN him,
and strong meat, q strong drink
and highly season food and
women are required to give him
q kick.
I charge thee, make not the
path Of love TOO easy, nor the
way of a lover too smooth. For
love without danger is, to
woman, as breakfast food with
out cream or spaghetti without
sauee-insipid. Yea, it is as
spinach for dinner three times a
week.
But the wise woman that know
eth how to invent an imaginary
obstacle, and filleth his way with
fancied difficulties, arouseth his
FIGHTING spirit. And 10, he IL
determined to HAVE her, If only
to prove his prowess and~to show
the world.
My daughter, beware the pitfalls
Of jealousy for It is as tar to the
feet and garlic in the roast.
When q dumb but beauteous
damsel smileth upon thy beloved
and regardeth him with admiring
eyes across the room, be not moved.
For tomorrow he will forget her.
But when his eye followeth the
office siren, and he findeth her full
of ''helpfulness" and understand.
ing, prepare thou for secret battle.
For her knife is at thy throat and
her weapon Is propinquity.
Verify, not every man that wear
eth a cute mustache and whoopee
hat is a sheik; nor is every man
that sporteth a coonskin coat and
a battered flivVer collegiate.
But he that adorneth the coun-
try club piazza, clad always in his
riding breeches, beware of him.
For he knoweth their charm and
is aware that his boots are ire
sistible. And the game which he
pursueth is not always a fox.
Likewise he that is always i'm
maculate in white knickers and
sport shirts, hath an eye to some
thing besides his golf score.
Go to, my daughter, ask me not
what maketh man dangerous to
women. For a woman, to be ac.
counted dangerous, must possess
many charms-even cute nose
and perfect legs and . skin Of
ivory and plenty Of TT" But a
man that standeth six feet high
and possesseth magnetic VOICE
may take his pick among women,
though he have the face Of . car.

MINE BLAST PLOT
LAID TO 4 IN JAIL
Attempt to Wreck Coal Shaft
FaiIS-Discharged En-
ployes Accused.

BY the Associated Press.
LOGAN. w. Va, March An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made last night to
blow up the Rossmore mine of the West
Virginia Coal e. Coke Co., on Island
Greek. allegedly by miners discharged
late yesterday. Dampness inside the
mine prevented the explosion, officials
of the mine stated.
Four men who State Mine Inspector
j. F. White said we're responsible for
the placing of powder and fuses are
being lAeld in the county jail.
According to White, the men were
discharged on concluding their work.
They are said to have returned to the
mine carrying large drums of blasting
powder and long lines of fuse The
powder was placed far in the mine, the
fuse laid to the mouth of the mine and
ignited. An explosion of the powder &C.
Cured, but the mine was so damp,
White said, that coal dust was not ig-
nited and only the section Immediately
surrounding the powder cache was af-
fected. A night crew was in the mine
at the time of the explosion, officials
said. They were not affected, however,
being at work in a different section.
The names of the four men held were
not available, White said, but he init
mated that they had come to the Ross
more mine from Kentucky.
