We do not have to make the American people
law-abiding. We only have to keep them law
abiding.
And the best way to keep them law-abiding
is not to make laws which very large and repu-
table elements of the community consider un-
wise, unjust, un-American and in violation of
their fundamental rights as free citizens.
do not believe that prohibition ever will be
ever can be enforced, and Do believe that.
if violent effort is made to enforce it during
the next four years by the Republican Admins
tratiOn, the next President of the United States
will be Democrat.
Smiths candidacy proves nothing except that
the people did not want SMITH.
Nor would the personal liberty issue have
won in this campaign with any candidate.
But after four more years of shopping spy
ing, keyhOle-peeping and interference with
fundamental rights and liberties by fanatics
and professional busybodies, the country will
be ripe for revolution against un-American
conditions of this oppressive and offensive kind.
The opposition to prohibition is not merely
by people who want to get drunk.
Prohibition is opposed by such temperance
influences as the Church Temperance Society
of the Episcopal Church and the Hearst news
papers, modestly put the Church Temper
ance Society of the Episcopal Church first The
reason for this opposition is that prohibition is
failure as temperance measure.
The more we try to enforce it, the greater
failure it becomes temperance measure,
because the only thing can absolutely pre-
vent traffic in is bulky turntables like wines and
beers; and these contain the least amount of al
cohOl, and are consequently the least harmful.
1t never has been possible and never will be
possible to prevent traffic i'm compact and con-
centrated alcoholic drinks: and even if the traf-
fc could be interfered with, every man could
make these in his own cellar if he should
want to.
Furthermore. must not make the mistake
of thinking that the country is divided into two

you for its repeal. But first want an honest
effort to induce the decent people to observe it
and force the criminal class to obey it.

Swimmer Finds He Saves
Two Lives Instead of One

Lyle, Wash.-Having saved two lives
where he thought he was rescuing only
one, III. M. La Bartew, agent for the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle railroad
here, is tending his train and bust
ness affairs as usual and does not put
much stock in this business of being
a hero.
But Sammy James, ten, and Frances
Lore, fourteen, are awfulIy glad he
came along when he did.
La Bertew heard screams for help
while he and his family were picnick-
ing on the bank OF the Columbia river
near here. Running to the spot where
the sound came from, he saw slen-
der arm disappearing beneath the tug
ging current of the river.
Swimming powerfully toward 1t, he
grabbed the arm and started pulling
ashore. AS he dragged 1t on to the
beach, La Bertew found he had hold
of Frances and that she in turn had
firm grip on little Sammy.
The boy had been frightened in deep
water, Frances said, and when she
tried to rescue him, he clutched at
her and dragged the frail girl under.

Engineer Invents Color
Pictures for the Radio

Berlin.-Herr Ahronheim, Berlin
engineer, has discovered new process
by which colored films and pictures
may be sent over the radio. The proc.
ess, which is the simplest matter in
the world, according to the inventor,
consists in the application of con.
struction element, which has not been
used for teleeraphy before, and it will
hardly make more expensive the exist
ing apparatus now in use.
The inventor refuses, however, to
give the secret. away yet. With the
new process one will be able, firstly,
to transfer objects in one color. and
reproduce them on the receiver is
ground glass, which means television
of single cOlors; secondly. the fixation
of this color on paper, and thirdly the
transferring of pictures in natural
colors.
While the first and second part of
the process play great role for in
dustry, trade and criminal service, the
third part is meant more for univer-
sal use.
Herr Ahronheim Is now occupied
In perfecting the invention, and hopes
to construct real color televisor with

"DEAD" MAN ASKS
FUNERAL COSTS
Lawyer-Magician Has Stiff
Problem to Solve.

Detroit, Mich.-Walter FL. DOM
xalski, Detroit attorney and ma.
gician of no little ability, has a prob
lem that will require all of his cum
ming as lawyer and his skill as
sleight of hand artist to solve.
AS a member of maglcians' union
who can pull white rabbits out of a
hat and create oranges where eggs
were before, Mr.. Domzalski has estab-
lished quite reputation for himself.
Now, according to his own admission,
he has feat Of legal legerdemain to
perform.
He must prove that his client, Joe
Slominski of Josephat's alley, who is
legally dead and buried, is very much
alive and entitled to the residue of his
own estate of approximately 5000.
Most Of the 5000 has been used up
long ago to pay the funeral expenses
and admintstrate the estate Of the
other man buried as Joe Slominski,
according to Mr.. DomZalski.
Here's the story: Back in 1927 Slo-
minski, who lived with friends in
Josephat's alley. which is somewhere
near Garfield avenue and Hastings
street, did some drinking and eventual
ly found himself undergoing treatment
in the county hospital at Eloise.
September 20. 1927. Joe was reported
missing. A few days later the police
notified friends that man answering
Joe's description had been killed by
street car. The friends identified the
dead man as Joe Slominski.
A Chene street undertaken took the
body to Joe's former home on the
alley for the funeral services. There
Joe's more intimate friends said:
"Why, that's not Slominski. This man
is too big to be joe"
But friends who accompanied the
undertaken said: Sure that's joe"
The funeral services were held for
Joe Slominski.
The funeral cost $125. In the nearly
two years that followed much of the
rest of the 5000 was distributed &C.
cording to will that Sominski had
made.
Mr.. Domzalski brings the story up
to date.
Recently Joe Slominski wandered
from Eloise and went fishing. He
caught six fine carp and sold them to
passing motorist for 25 cents, the
first money he had obtained since
1927.
The 25 cents inspired Joe to take a
street car and come to Detroit. where
he went immediately to Josephat's
alley to surprise his friends. The sur
prise worked-both ways.

And the colors stay in through
wear and washing!
Here's the reason. Diamond
Dyes contain the highest quality
anilines money can buy. And it's
the anilines that count! They are
the very life of dyes.
Plenty Of pure anilines make
Diamond Dyes easy to use. They
go on evenly without spotting or
streaking. Try them next time
and see why authorities recon-
mend them; why millions of women
will use no other dyes.
You get Diamond Dyes for the
same price as ordinary dyes; 15c,
at any drug store.

cooked. When done, the platters and
vegetable dishes can be reached with
out extra walking about and the hot
food dished on the counter and passed
at once through the closet to be taken
out on the dining room side. The sink
is within reach for those foods which
must be drained Immediately after
cooking.
A well-arranged kitchen has all the
major equipment placed so that work
is routed from one center to another III
logical way and with no unnecessary
steps. BY thinking carefully how each
part of the work is done It is some
times possible to rearrange ones
kitchen equipment and make II more
convenient without extensive struc-
tural alterations.

BRITAIN, FRANCE ROW
OVER LITTLE ISLES
Dispute of Title Holds Up

Paris.-Although both the DUAL dor
London make every effort to pretend
to know nothing about it, there Is a
serious dispute as to the ownership OF
three tiny islands lying between the
Jersey islands and st. Malo, on the
French coast.
The Miniquieres, like the Jersey is-
lands themselves, form n part OF the
old duchy of Normandy. Although
these islands are within a few miles
of the French coast and are French
by tradition and language the Jersey
group has belonged to the English for
centuries.

Bathed by the Gulf stream, the L.
lands have climate like Florida, Ia
strange contrast to the French main
land where the winters are rigorous.
Paris millionaire, Henri Leroux.
prominent as heavy plunger on the
bourse, decided to build castle on
one of the NIiniquieres.
Believing that the island was
French, he applied to the French a,I
thorities at st. 10 and obtained writ
ten authorization to build on the is
land and rental lease Of 90 years on
the whole island.
The officials at st. Heller, in Jer-
sey. heard Of the building and or
dered work stopped in the name Of
King George Of England. The pre-
text is that the islands form part OF
the duchy of Normandy, and that to
prove the sovereignty of the British
king, union Jack Is unfurled. sym

Leroux, If he wants to gain the ear
of the sovereign ruler. must 60 to
st. Heller and cry three times: "Hnro

That tradition dates back to good
old Rollo. and the crying must be
done in public place. Theoretically.
the good prince hears 1t, but actually

Leroux has in mind q much more

not produce action, to the League Of

YOU HAVE A DOCTORS
WORD FOR THIS
LAXATIVE

Tn 1876, an earnest young man
began to practice medicine. AS a
family doctor, he saw the harm in
harsh purgatives for constipation
and began to search for something
harmless to the sensitive bowels.
Out of his experience was born
a famous prescription. He wrote it
thousands of times. 1t proved ain
ideal laxative for old and young:
AS people saw how marvelously the
most sluggish bowels are started
and bad breath, headaches, fever
ishness, nausea, gas, poor appetite,
and such disorders, are relieved by
the prescription, it became neces-
sary to put it up ready for use.
Today, DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, as it is called, is the worlds
most popular laxative. 1t never
varies from DR.. Caldwell's original
effective and harmless formula.
