Two Prohibition Methods

The government now is beginning its campaign
to sell" prohibition to the country.
At the National Educational Association conven-
ton, the chief of the "educatonal division of the
federal prohibition bureau will appeal for law en-
forcement.
That is well enough AS long as the law is the
law, the officials from whom We have exacted an
oath to enforce all laws must do their duty.
And obviously in the case of prohibition the chief
difficulty comes from what the President has called
that large group of otherwise aw-abidng citizens.
OF course the mere fact that there is need
To sell" ne-year-old law to the public reveals
that the law and the government merely are on the
defensive.
AS every business man knows it almost is i'm
possible to put over" product which has been on
the market long time and failed to win general
popularity.
About the only ruse business men have developed
for such failure is to disguise the product with
new name Fortunately or unfortunately, according
to ones point of view, prohibition under any other
name would remain the same thing
We wish that the federal government would spend
a 1.-THE of the money and effort enforcing other
laws-say, those pertaining to constitutional civil
Hberties-that it is spending to work up enthusiasm
for prohibition
Perhaps. however it is just as we'll that the fair
trial. for prohibition be speeded along as fast as pos
sible with sales talk and all the rest.
Then if it is demonstrated that no amount OF
propaganda can stop the public swing away from
prohibition the law should be modified without fur
Their alibis from the professional drys
There apparently is nothing in the Presidents pro-
gram to mitigate the right which the President him
self has emphasized in this connection of citizens
who prefer temperance to prohibition to work for
( repeal or modification of the law.
( The same can not be said for such dry organiza-
tions as the Anti-Saloon League which is trying to
get the country to observe June 80 a so-caled
Support the President day" The nature of this new
"day" can not be judged in advance. But far the
Anti-Saoon League has tried to make belief in pro-
hibition a test of patriotism and loyalty.
Such attempts at puritanical terrorism partly are
responsible for the popular reaction against prohi

No minority group is strong enough to bluff the
American people out OF their constitutional right to

The drys have had their day Of agitating and
they got what they wanted
Now the day of agitating for modification is
coming.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

I responsibility for proper sanitation.
In some country districts, and par
ticuIarly in summer camps, the
water supply must be watched care
fully. The easiest method Of being
certain about drinking water is to
boil it.
In order to sterilize water thor
oughly, it must be boiled for twenty
minutes. It is then cooled, proper
ly covered and thereafter should be
placed in bottles and sealed. OBJ
yiously, the water should not be
contaminated before it is drunk.
In exceedingly hot weather it is
not safe to overeat. The best break
fast in hot weather is simply fruit,
toast and coffee, if the person is
accustomed to coffee; if not, he can
have milk, water or any other safe
beverage.
The luncheon and the dinner in
hot weather should be somewhat
lighter than are commonly eaten in
the cold weather. Much of the
energy of the food taken into the
body goes to produce heat. In the
summer this heat is not required.
The clothing in hot weather
should be as thin as is convenient
and modest in the community in

1T SEEMS TO ME By H BFoH%
Utopia, I suppose, will be social

UTOPIA, I suppose, will be social
~ istic, and it may be that the
writing man directly will be re-
sponSible to the state. In such a
land and such day there might be
regulations for the improvement of
fiction. Just to be ready for the
millennium have prepared some.
First of the iron-clad ordinances
will be the provision:
mo novel under any circum-
stances shall exceed $4,000 words in
length, and 10000 is much better.
ANY writer who exceeds this limi-
tation publicly shall be reprimanded.
IF he offends again he shall be
forced to eat the excess pages in
the market place at high noon.
Anybody who writes a novel in
two volumes shall be shot at once,
even though he may have no pre-
vious criminal record.
mo writer will be permitted to
read the works Of any contempt
rary."
This may seem harsh, but con-
slider the situation in America to-
day where all the young authors
may be divided into two groups con-
sisting of those who want to write
like H. L. Mencken and those who
want to write like Ring Lardner
Our native literature assuredly suf-
ferS from inbreeding.

lukewarrn water and piece of ice. The laboratory
type of thermometer which has the scale etched d.
rectIy on the glass is the best type though others
can be used.
Place the water in the cup, then add the ice and
begin to stir the mixture with the thermometer.
AS the ice melts, the temperature Of the mixture
begins to fall This cools the cup and the air I'M
medately around the cup. In time the air around
the cup will become cooled to the point where the
moisture in it will condense and form drops OF water
on the outside of the cup
The experimental must do two things while STIR
ring the mixture He must watch the thermometer
the mercury drops and he must watch the outside
of the cup for signs of moisture.
Success Of the experiment depends upon noting
the thermometer reading at the exact second the
drops of moisture appear. This is the dewpoint.
Professor Brooks OF Clark university gives the fol-
lowing rules for using this experiment thunder
storm test
Perform the experiment in the morning If the
devpoint is about IS degrees, Fahrenheit, and the
is hot there is strong probability that local
thunderstorm may occur before nghtfall.
On the other hand, if the dewpoint is relatively
low go degrees Fahrenheit below, it is very unlikely
that there will be thunderstorm.
It must be remembered, however that like all
other weather tests. this is merely good indi-

Editor Times: Mere words cam
not adequately express my deep ap-
probation of your beautiful tribute
in Saturdays Times to Ed Fogarty.
In honoring a great character
whose life service never can die, you
have sermonized in burning words
the unspoken thoughts Of countless
men and women who have been
sanctif1ed by his friendship.
Many were privileged to be asso-
ciated with him in public service.
The care and custody of many 9TH
ers were his responsibility. Sorrow
ing lives touched his life and took
heart again. All these and more
came under the Christ-like spell Of
this great hearted servant of ru-
mainly. All know and realize that
Ed Fogarty loved and served his
elloW-man-even unto martyrdom
Again, please know Of my personal
and grateful appreciation.

Avoid Over-Eating in Hot Weather

, which one happens to reside
Porous material permits the pas
sage of air to the body and the
evaporation of water from the sur
face of the body. In tropical coun-
tries thin wooden material is con-
sidered best for underwear, except
that it is likely to shrink greatly
unless washed with care.
Modern mixtures of cotton and
wool, or of silk and wool have Spe-
cial advantages. When clothing be-
comes damp, it becomes q better
conductor of heat and the risk of
remaining in damp clothing may
be just as great in summer as in
winter.
Many people suffer with eyestrain
in the summer because of the i'll
ability to stand the glare of the sun.
For such people dark glasses may
be advisable.
It should be remembered that a
person may be quite comfortable
during the day but may be chilled
at night when lying quietly and the
question Of proper covering at night
should always be borne in mind
particularly by the mother who is
responsible for the care Of children
in not weather.

Profit From Misfortune

The county needs detention home to house
the mischievous and unfortunate boys, who
find themselves in need of other than parental
care.
Grand Juries have called attention to the
fact that present housing quarters are not
merely inadequate but unwholesome, insani-
tary and possibly dangerous.
1t would seem that such an appeal would
excite nothing but warm ambition to find
the most desirable place and then provide a
building that would assist in the social effort
to transform misguided youthful exuberance
into the proper channels of usefulness.
a somewhat different picture is presented
by the manner in which negotiations for site
are being conducted. There is a strong sus-
picion that machine government overlooks no
bets and that profits from misfortune are
quite as desirable as any other form of per
quisites.
Sudden shifts on the county council the
presence of political workers at meetings, jock
eying of sorts, suggests that there is some other
purpose in mind than that of securing the best
site at the lowest cost.
It might seem unreasonable that any advice
sought should include recommendations from
the judge who presides over the destinies of the
wards to be housed and the social workers who
understand the problem.
The henchmen of Coffin run true to form in
this as in every other transaction. They never
learn They may, perhaps, understand that
their tenure of power IS brief and that the
dynasty IS rapidly approaching its end. That
only would account for the apparent neglect of
the real problem.
Meanwhile the people are obtaining new evil
dence of the costliness of machine and boss

Neglecting War Victims

ened under the stress of the war. Congress we are
sure has intended to be liberal
1t seems, however, that the number Of neuro-
psychiatrc patients has been increasing largely and
that expanding hospital facilities have not kept pace
There now nearly $4,000 of this class, comprising
so per cent of all those in hospitals, The number will
increase, year by year, until 1947, it is figured.
Congress, year ago, appropriated s15,oOo,00o for
additional hospital facilities, and the money is being
spent. Expansions being made in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New York, Illinois and elsewhere.
But more is needed according to the Legion. The
house in the session ended last March T. approved
appropriation of $148OoOO for hospital construction

allowed to die in the senate
Surely here is an obligation in the discharge Of
which the government can not afford to be niggardly

Law and Honesty

THE law can prosecute and pun
p ish. but it can do very little to
preserve the all important sense of
common honesty.
Too many times the law must
compound a felony in order to func-
ton successfully.
There is Anthony Paladino, mem
Der of the famous Whittemore gang
and little better than the others,
sentenced to only six months as a
reward for turning states evidence.
More than that, he will serve the
sentence on Welfare island, instead
of at Sing Sing, because it is feared
that old pals now confined in the
latter prison might kill him.
But the irony of it all consists in
the fact that though sentenced to
only six months, he had been held
in Jail more than three years.

WHEN summer comes it brings
w with it problems of health
that are distinct from those pertain
ing throughout the rest of the year.
The summer sunlight kills germs
that may persist in the moisture of
winter, fall and spring. The sum-
mer humidity and high tempera-
ture cause reactions in the human
body which are sometimes a serious
burden to the tissues.
High temperature alone is not
unhealthful but high humidity
and failure to appreciate the Spe-
cial needs associated with a high
temperature may result disastrously.
Because of the warm weather,
water and food tend to spoil more
rapidly in summer than in winter.
Because of the excess strain on the
body. overeating may bring serious
complaints. The heat makes spe-
cial demands in relationship to the
clothing.
In large cities, one need not dis
turb himself greatly about the purity
of the water, since the city takes the

Cutting Both WAYS

Many anti-abor injunctions have been granted in
this country in strike disputes, of them rigid
they virtually prohibited strikers from doing anything
beyond breathing.
Some such njunctions have broken strikes. That
was their purpose
In every instance the injunction was granted
technically to protect property rights of the employer
the only ground upon which such injunctons could
be granted.
This theory in itself has been carried far. In one
famous case picketing of a restaurant forbidden
because it might injure the prospective profits of the
restaurant owner.
But in the hands of q fair judge, the protection
of property theory cuts both ways, and the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks just has found way to use
the two-edged sword.
The clerks wanted to negotiate with the Southern
Pacific lines in Texas for wage increase. The rail-
road refused to deal with them and tried to deal with
it's own company unions
Federal Judge j. c. Hutchinson Jr, in Houston,
held this was violation of the railway mediation act
which stpulates that neither side must influence the
selection of arbitrator for the other and granted
injunction against it.
The railroad lawyers, after catching their BREATH
went to federal court of appeals, and pleaded that
the clerks having property at stake, couldn't be
given an injunction. That appeals court has just
sustained the Injunction and has held that wages of
workingmen or prospective wages, certainly are a
property right which be protected by injunction
This is refreshing. While apparently only rail
road workers can now get advantage of it-having
the protection of the mediation act-there is a bill
before the senate which would give such protection
and the right Of injunction, to all workers.
It is the Norris bill defining the of labor in
functions. 1t, too stipulates that each side in a
labor dispute may have the unqualified right to choose
its own negotiators as the mediation act does for
the railroad men.
Perhaps that is why organizations have shown
themselves so hostile to the Norris bi-t would give
labor equal right with employers and kill or cripple
the "con,nanv union" idea generally as the railroad
decisions would seem to kill it for the railroads.
