OPENING the volume with respectful care,
Najb thumbed the yellowing pages. Pres
emily he paused at a picture which represented
in glazing detail a stricken battlefield strewn
with dead and dying Orientals of vivid costume.
In the middle distance a regiment of prisoners
was being slaughtered in singularly bloodthirsty
fashion. The caption above the cut read:
Destruction of Sennacheribs Assyrian Hosts by
the People of Israel"
while yet they gaZed joyingly on this noble
picture" remarked Najib, It read to them the
words of the law about it. I read aloudly thus:

pretty and splendid picture. See:

HOOVER THE MAN WE TRUST
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
AntiSaloon

Rarely in human history have the eX
pectations and the hopes of an entire ma
ton been so fixed upon single man as
they are fixed to-day upon Herbert Hoo
YER Confronted by titanic problems such
as have been faced by few Presidents, if
by any, in the history of the nation, his
fellow citizens are confidently expecting
that he will meet these great emergencies
effectively The solution OF the perennial
farm problem the mastery of the Missis-
sippi flood tides, the adjustment of the
continually changing tariff question, the
establishment Of eqflitable relations WITH
our suspicious South American neighbors,
the renewal of that trust and friendship
between the United States and Europe
which was shattered by the World War,
the conservation of natural resources
which to-day are being wasted in prodigal-
ity-these are just few of the Hereulean
tasks which confront our new President.
Equal to any of these, if not greater
than them, is the question of prohibition.
The nation expects he will solve this as
we'll as the other questions which await
his determination
The utterances Of Herbert Hoover con-
corning prohibition and its enforcement
encouraged the people of this country to
believe that the Federal government in
tends to seriously fulfill its responsibilities
toward the Eighteenth Amendment. Init
mately involved with this enforcement
problem are the problems of gang crime,
civic corruption and economic develop
ment. While drink-caused crime has
greatly decreased with the closing of the
licensed saloon. liquor lawlesSness has not
yet been brought to the irreducible mini
num- Political corruption is to-day far
less than it was when the brewers and
the saloonkeepers dominated the wards of
our cities and raised fabulous sums for the
control of legislators while they even
stretched their dirty hands toward the
ermine of the judge. Freed from the
drink bill drain of three billion dollars an
nually spent for intoxicating beverages in
the license regime, our economic authori-
ties ascribe our current prosperity to pro-
hibition, but there is still needless waste
OF wealth and man power due to the in
effective enforcement of the prohibitory
law. The great gains recorded under pro-
hibition, despite all the weaknesses of its

Case of Sinking Rum Boat I'm

Full detailed reports on sinking of the
Canadian rum runner, I'm Alone" in
the Gulf of Mexico by a coast guard pa

state department, says a Washington As
ISOLATED Press dispatch of April ,.
A report of the department of justice,
covering its investigation of the case and
the legal points relating to the matter,
has been turned over to Secretary of
State Stimson by Attorney General
Mitchell
Since only meager preliminary details
in the case were turned over to the Ca

Massen had asked for full particulars of
the sinking, it is expected that more
complete reports will be forwarded i'm

now has available
Aside from actual communication OF
this material to the Canadian legation,
the next formal move in the case is eX-

ULSTER DRYs SHOW FIGHT
Premier Refuses to Assist Dry
Party; Party Split May Result

The Ulster Premier Viscount Craigavon,
says Belfast dispatch to the Christian
Science Monitor, OF March 81, refuses to
assist the temperance party in its demand
for local option. He takes the position
that an advance must be made slowly. The
temperance party has retaliated by saying
that if the Premier does not give his aid it
will split the Unionist vote. The heads of
the Protestant churches have counsellad
the temperance leaders not to press their
demand.
An eleventh hour effort to bring about
peace on the subject has been made by
the Reverend Robert Hyndman, convener
of the Presbyterian Church committee on
temperance. There is an alternative TO
local option, he suggests, and Lord Craig
avon ana the temperance party might
agree on measure to reduce the number
of pubncan's licenses every year for the
next ten or twelve years.

gains that may be ours when honest and
impartial enforcement is obtained. This
the nation now expects under Herbert
Hoover.
There is a reason for the trust uniyer-
sally reposed in the new President. His
record is without a defeat. He has not
avoided responsibility hitherto He has
shown himself always fearless honest and
impartial. He is free from entangling al
hances He faces practical problems not

TURKEY TO MAKE WINE

An Associated Press dispatch carrying
q Bigados, Turkey, date line of March II,
says that the Kenalst government,
which has made alcohol one of the six
teen state monopolies, has sent the direc-
tor of the monopoly to Europe to study
wine making. The director chose this
rich Anatolian grape region as the loca-
ton for Turkeys future wine industry
Drinking alcoholic beverages is prohib-
tied by the Koran and that the new
Turkey is considering taking up the wine
industry comes as a surprise.

Autumn Reducing Plans.

Other fads may come and 20 with
each pew season, but the vogue for re-
ducing always seems to have adherents.
There has been plenty of criticism of
this fad from medical quarters and
some style experts tell us that the slim,
hipless figure Is no longer fashionable,
but the demand for reducing methods
does not seem to have abated.
Reducing schemes are of interest to
two types Of women: First, the ex-
cessively stout, who really needs to lose
weight in order to keep healthy; and
second, those WHO are normal or trif1e
overweight and want to be thin for
esthetic reasons. It is this latter class
that particularly needs to heed medical
warnings against too rapid, or too
great a loss of weight. Reducing below
ones normal weight is risky business,
especially for growing girls.
IN dieting to reduce weight one
should be careful not to cut out too
many Galleries. Another danger to be
avoided is lack of balance In the diet.
One thousand calories less than the
amount for the daily maintenance diet
is as large reduction as it is wise to
make.
Let me illustrate just what I mean.
To calculate your maintenance diet
multiply your ideal weight by is If you
live sedentary life, or by 20 If you
do manual work. This product will be
the number of calories you need to keep
your weight where it is. BY deducting
500 or 1000 from this figure you will
get the number of calories for your
daily reducing diet. If your weight is
$50 pounds and you multiply that by
Is and subtract 1000 you viii get 1880
calories per day. In any case you
should not try to live on less than ! 200
Galleries q day.

A Sermon for Today
CONQUER Those Lions,
NJ REV. JOHN R. GUM.

Text: Then went Samson down to
Timmath: and, behold, young lion
roared against him. Judges xiv.5.
All life's roads are infested with
lions. The road we call Lovers Lane"
is no exception. Samson was going
down to Timmath on a counting mis-
sion when that young lion roared
against him. Even in the attempt to
realize loves dreams there is always
to be found lion in the path.
None of life's dreams can be realized
without struggle. There is no path
any man can take in which his prog
ress, somewhere along the line, will not
be disputed. Ask the men who have
attained success in any trade, profess
sion or business and they will tell you
of many lions that reared against them
along the way and challenged them to
battle. And they will tell you of many
hard fights they had to put up to over
come these lions. There is no way by
which one can get ahead in the world
without meeting and overcoming d1h-
culties.
The same thing applies to spiritual
progress. One never gets far along
The pathway III spiritual nc uuIu 1ic
hears the roar of the lion, for our lad
versary, the devil, as a roaring lion,
.walketh about, seeking whom he may
devour." Here, as In practical life, the
path Of least resistance is not the path
that leads to high attainments and
achievements. Ask those who have ex-
celled in spiritual character and service
and they viii tell you of many hard
battles they had to fight, of many fierce
lions they had to conquer.
Let the young be warned. In all
directions life means battle with lions.
But where others have fought and
won Sou can. Stand your ground and
fight! Conquer those lions!
