zenith Amendment should be thoroughly
enforced in all parts of the country by
the Federal, state and municipal govern
ments. If this is done the Eighteenth
Amendment will accomplish more for the
personal hygiene and public health of the
people of this country than any legiSla-
ton ever passed.
GREAT DECREASE IN DRINKING
One of the most important steps that
can be taken in this experiment at this
time, when there is a great deal of con-
troverSy over the success or failure of the
Eighteenth Amendment, would be the
appointment of the Federal body which I
have already referred to, a body ap-
pointed for the purpose of obtaining def
mite and positive knowledge as to the
existing state of facts in regard to the
amount of liquor consumed in this cOun-
try as compared with the pre-War days
This will, 1 believe, show that prohibition
is even today at least 90 per cent success
full in the sense that is has eliminated 90
per cent of the alcohol which was for
merly consumed per capita. It is to be
hoped that Mr. Hoover, who was so over
Whelmingly endorsed at the recent cleo
ton, running on a dry platform, will I'M
dertake this complete survey in order that
the country may know the true facts OF
the situation.
The Eighteenth Amendment IS a part
of our Constitution and should be made
as effective as possible Every man knows
and every woman knows whether they
drink or not that they are better off and
that the boys and girls of this country
are better off without drink.

BEER CAR FOR BREWERS
Ontario Brewers Form a Commits
sion to Guarantee Square Deal
ing; Car to Make Rulings

The brewers of Ontario are proposing
q commission to see that fair play pre-
walls in the export liquor business of the
province. According to a Windsor dis
patch the head of this commission,
which is TO consist of three members. has
been offered to William Gundy, former
Windsor and Walkeryille magistrate. The
head of the commission will be a sort
OF unofficial beer car of the province.
Some twenty-five brewers, with a total
capital of S50000000 are interested in the
formation Of this commission.
1t is said that tie idea is that of the
brewers themselves Each brewery will
run its own business and keep its own
identity and the job of the commission
is TO be similar to the work that was
placed in the hands of Judge Lands in
organized baseball in this country and in
the hands of Will Hays ky the movie
magnates of the United States.
It is understood that the chairman's
place will carry salary of $4,000.
The association will have to have some
disciplinary power to punish exporters or
members of the association who are
backing the commission when thye are
found to be breaking the law.
One form of punishment suggested is
the barring of the products of an Offend
ing member from the licensed govern
ment export docks for a period COM
mensurate with the seriousness of the
ofTense.
If the brewers succeed In compelling
members of their fraternity to obey the
law they will have accomplished some
thing that is indeed new under the
sun

out the province, according to the popu-

Removal of restrictions on the display

The sale of beer in restaurants is be-

the same lines as beer, it is believed will
also be suggested in the new legislature
by some members.

LIQUOR FOR THE WHITE

BY the new Liquor act for the Union of
South Africa which recently came into
operation, natives are prohibited from OBJ
tanning spirituous liquors, except in the
case of certain exempted natives who
have passed the civilization standard.
This seems like a strange provision for

yet in South Africa, only the civilized
natives may obtain it. How long will it
take them to revert to type. And yet the

country in the days of license. Liquor
was strictly prohibited to the Indian.
This is almost on a par With the situa-

CHANGED HER MIND

Miss Amy Wren, United States Com
missioner in Brooklyn, who was said to
have been the first woman appointed to
such position when she took her oath
of office last May, is quoted by the New
York Times as saying that she had
changed her mind about prohibition
since she became a commissioner.
Il was not in favor Of prohibition at
first" she said, "but now I am, after
hearing all these speakeasy cases. Pro-
hibition should be given a chance"
Miss Wren declared that there is little
question that prohibition has already
done a great deal of good despite it's lax
enforcement. She declared that in her
opinion there is great deal less liquor to
be had in other parts of the country than
in New York.
