LISTEN WORLD!
II Isn't Lese Maieste
By Elsie Robinson

CIPITATED BY THE GROWING
CONTEMPT FOR FEDERAL
AUTHORITY.
Hence the prohibition discus
sion, which Is both legal and
necessary.
Prohibition Is not a divine law,
a sort of Volstead amendment to
the Ten Commandments. 1t Is
merely a method-one of many
possible methods-by which we
hope to attain national sobriety.
Unfortunately, there were Ger
tain circumstances connected with
the passage of the Volstead act
which aroused the temper Of the
American people. Americans are
a clean folk. They have no nat
ural love for debauchery. They
have always taken their stand on
the side of decency. But they
don't like to have anything put
over on them. They feel that tho
Volstead act was unfairly put
over by a small but powerful
minority and that its passage vio-
lated constitutional rights. They
are not for drunkenness, but they
are against shinannigans and they
have proceeded to express their
displeasure in two ways-first, by
open violation Of the law; second.
by a concerted action to change
it.
This effort to change the law
is regarded as treason by ardent
prohibitionists, who cry indig-
nantly: Its a law-now we must
obey it."
Such reasoning is well-meaning
but foolish. A democratic people
have a right to revoke or amend
anv law which they may make.
and to deny that right is to strike
at the very roots of democracy.
It is not wrong to discuss pro-
hibition.
It is not wrong to criticize pro.
hibition.
1t is not wrong to abolish pro-
hibition if a better method can
be found. for attaining sobriety.
These are the rights of free
men.

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

TUE belief that children have in
i fairies is one of their most
cherished possessions. And lucky
is the person whose childhood life
was rich in fairy lore.
Indeed, fairy stories give great
pleasure to grown-ups as well as
to children. They transport them
back to the days when they were
young and believed the most
miraculous things could be made
to happen by a wave of the fairy
wand,
Unfortunately, however, many
of the fairy stories We tell our
children have a horror element in
them.
Why not restrict our stories to
picturesque and interesting stories
of animal life?
Indian folklore is rich with such
material. 1t affords excellent ma
terial for children's tales.
For example, in a myth to be
found among Seneca legends Is one
about squirrel who had boarded
nuts for the winter, but who, hav-
ing built his nest too low, was
robbed by the other animals. Ac-
cordingly, he was given web to
stretch between his legs SO that In
the future he might build his nest
high and be able to fly from limb
to limb. In this wise the fly1ng
squirrel came into being.
II we study the fairy tales and
folklore Of primitive peoples we
find that a striking similarity runs
through all of them. All the tales
and legends have the same type OF
hero.
He is always the child of dis
tinguished parents, perhaps the
son of king or of a pagan god.
Usually there Is much mystery
about his birth in that he is either
unwelconne or illegitimate and
often there is a prophecy announc-
ing how powerful he is to become.
His father, fearing the son, de-
serts him or exposes him to the
herds find the baby and he is
saved.
Afterwards he grows up, learns
of his royal lineage, takes revenge
upon his father and finally gains
his kingdom and comes into his
own.
The famous oedipus Rex story
of Sophocles is of this general
type. Thousands of stories. poems,
plays have since been built upon
a similar pattern.
Undoubtedly our Mother Goose
and the rest have been influenced
by this not altogether pleasing
theme.
In fact, children often like to
think that their parents are not
their own and that some day it
viii be discovered that they are of
much more noble birth.
But the old fairy story idea
dating back almost to the dawn of
civilization-which makes the in.
dividual want to be what he is
not, that leads him to make be-
lieve that in some as yet undis-
covered way he is superior, still
activates our thinking and makes
us hopeful.
In the absence of really good
fairy tales parents can readily
make up stories of their own to
suit the age and mood of the child.
Children are not Overcritical,
hence the story does not have to
be too logical or plausible.
Have your story interesting and
your little ones will drink it in
as though hypnotized.
Better no fairy tales at all than
fairy tales that fill children's
minds with ghosts. hobSOblins,

At last woman has got her wish.

For years I have secretly envied

reason for the eye-sear1ng things
that man wears.
Look at q man in his shirt
sleeves, for instance-and what do
YOU see? A waistcoat that wrin-
kles over the most shrinking
front, and doesn't even come with
in kissing distance Of his trousers
in the back.
A shirt that buIges over the
straishtest military back, blouses
in a haphazard, temperamental
way over the belt, and craWls up
in front, unless he is constantly
holding his breath and tucking it
in. And trousers that balloon
around his hips like twin loving
CUPS; and are held on only by faith
and a leather belt.
Only under the merciful cover
ing of his coat, which seems to
have been an after-thought, does
man look as though he were
made "all in one piece"
And even then, when his trou-
sers happen to creep up, you can
see the bare legs, where his socks
are divorced from the rest Of his
garments.

about a mans clothes! But have
