Dry Law OF Nation Stands

Once more the Supreme Court has
declined to reconsider its decision
UNFOLDING the constitutionality of the
Volstead law.
The question bobbed up again in
an attack on the validity of the en-
forcement act, brought to the court
by A. Stanley Copeland, of Buffalo.
The Court, for second time refured
to review his case.
In all, eight cases involving ma
tional prohibition came up on October
20. Reviews were denied in seven
of them and in the eighth limited
review was granted.
This involved a controversy pre-
scented by V. Loewers Gambrinus
Brewery Company, of New York
City, which commended the Govern
ment had refused to make proper
allowances in fixing its taxes for 1928
and 1929 for depreciation in the
value of its property caused by
national prohibition.
The court through Chief Justice
Hughes announced it would confine
its action to passing on whether the
company was entitled to any reduc-
ton for obsolence of its tangible
property and the case would be taken
up when another now pending, pre-
senting substantially the same issue,
is reached for oral argument.
The court refused to revied the
convictions of Edward Blanchard,
at Dallas, Tex; of j. S. Czitiko
Cvitkovich and others, at Seattle; of
Edwin c.. kindly, of Milwaukee, and
Byron Langtry, formerly of St.
Joseph county, Mich; of Samuel
and Louis Malinow, at Baltimore; OF
John R. Smyth, at Floras Lake, Ore,
and of Paul Corbis and Florindo
Luccioni, at Cleveland.
Several of these petitions asserted
their convictions were illegal on the
ground that evidence presented
against them had been obtained by
unlawful search and seizure, and
others attacked the indictments on
which they had been tried.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1880

Tuesday next, November 4th, is
Election Day, when State and county
offices are to be filled.
The campaign drawing to close
has not been an exciting one. In
fact, the rank and file of the voters
have not displayed a great deal of
interest since the primary, except in
the local offices.
Despite the efforts of party organs,
enthusiasm has not been rampant,
the campaign just having drifted
along.
But it is the duty of every voter to
goto the polls and express his senti-
ments by casting his ballot.
With the entire list before the
voter when he takes his ballot into
the booth, he can make his selection
of those candidates he deems best
qualified for the offices to be filled,
placing the matter on clear business
basis, as he would in selecting
men to conduct his own private
business affairs.
This is not the kind of doctrine the
party bosses preach, nor is it popular
with them, but it is privilege every
voter should exercise.
The voting for a candidate for no
other reason than that of party"
when he does not have proper quail
fications for an office, is a poor way
of exercising your franchise.
The list of candidates will be found
on the ballot published in this issue
of the Midland Journal, and the
voter should study it and make his
selections before going to the polls,
not letting mere party" influence
his choice.

SAVE YOUR EYES
BY DR.. J. Fred Andreae, Sec.
Md. State Board Optometry

TRAINING YOUNG EYES
The proper use of the eyes is
largely a matter of education accord
ing to DR.. j. Fred Andreae, Member
of the Maryland State Board of Optic
metry, and while this is generally an
unconscious practice it is one which
may readily be promoted. When
children are looking at various OBJ
iects and playing with their toys it is
very desirable to take a little trouble
to educate them in proper visual per-
ception.
If, for example, the child is looking
at a house direct his attention sue
cessively to the various parts of the
house such as the masonry, the roof,
its color, shape position, etc., in
order to accustom him when looking
at any object to Involuntary take
note of all it's details at the same
time. Later when the child begins
to reason for himself teach him to
note and estimate it's length and
height, and to observe carefully the
size and distance of objects that he
may promote that muscular sense by
which we Judge distance and magni-
tude.
In looking over pictures, teach
him to observe the important points
of each that he may have the habit of
minute and careful rather than super
fetal observation. The power of
mentality depends much upon the
manner in which the sense of vision
and the act of seeing is exercised.
The child which observes carefully
and correctly will be the most sue
cessful student and the bigger sue
cess in the calling which he will
later choose.

FUTURE WAR, OR PEACE
Friends Peace Committee.

Friends Peace COMMITTEE.
Announcement of the Red Cross
Rollcall for this year almost comedies
with newspaper reports of the adj
journment of an International Com
mission of the Red Cross which has
been meeting in Brussels, Belgium,
to consider ways and means of pro-
tecting civilian populations from
poison gas in case of war in the
future. The commission was very
gloomy.
1t appears to the members of the
Commission that in case of war the
lot of civilians is likely tn be hard.
Old people, women and children are
likely to be exposed to death in
most unpleasant forms, from suf-
locating, poisoning or burning gases.
Soldiers in the war of the future,
whether they like it or not, will have
to make war on women and children.
The Commission thinks that treat
les to prohibit the use of poison gas
in war will prove useless because in
war-emergency a nation will use
every weapon available, whether
or not it is permitted" To build
gas-and- bomb-prof shelters large
enough to accommodate the popula-
tons of large cities is too enormous
an undertaking to be possible. Such
shelters, in case of accident to their
neutrality-suspicious., might become
the scenes of even more horrible
shambles than the unprotected
streets of the city. Gasmasks are of
only partial effectiveness, because
some gases attack the skin exter-
nally even if not inhaled, and in
any case gas-mask only safeguards
against certain gases for which it is
designed.
So modern war, in the judgment
of this Commission, is likely to be a
very terrible thing for the inhabi-
tants of the countries involved in it.
Their only hope for security lies in
preventing war. This report gives
rather definite point to the obser-
walton. on November II of the ami
versary of the ending of 'the war
to end war;" The great hope which
kept men and women going through
the dark hours of the World War is
the indispensable hope of our civil
zation. Unless war is abolished
civilization cannot survive. ARMS
tice Day, 1880, calls each individual
citizen to do his part in developing
the public opinion that demands
peace, that will support the COVER
ment in policies of peace, and will
insist on the United States joining
the World Court and otherwise
providing itself with adequate means
of settling disputes peacefully. In
that way, we who live can keep faith
with those who gave everything in
the war to end war.

Since general business and farm
ing are so closely interlocked, both
cities and rural communities are
watching with Interest the trend to-
ward improving local roads, states
E. E. Duffy, of the Delaware Auto
mobile Association.
A study made recently by Cornell
University revealed that farmers in
one community suffered losses of
from 800 to $1,000 yearly through
inability to market produce, because
of muddy roads, when prices were
best.

New Style Beach and Water Sports
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

the shells were called in this game.
And so we find that even the simple
past1me OF skipping stones has a his
torical background. This is true also
Of the games and sports described In
this article. They have been put in
original shape, however, so that they
can be played on our own beaches by
the boys and girls of today.
Water Wicket.
The nucleus for this game is found
In the quaint sport of stool ball."
played many centuries ago in England.
Milk maids stools were used In place
of wicketS. The object was not so
much to send the ball under the stool
as for the person sitting on the stool
to strike it away. Scores were kept in
many different ways. From this sport
sprang our own lawn croquet and now
we are seeing it in a new guise. Water
wickets is distinctly water sport, and
is 1un for the onlookers as well as the
swimmers who participate.
Playing the Game.
Any number of players from three up
can play. Two stand in water up to
their arm-pitS. They take hold of
hands, lifted high, and so form an arch
or wicket over the water. A third
player takes stand about feet away
and facing the wicket. He is either
blindfolded or shuts his eyes, and at
given signal starts to swim in the di-
rection of the wicket II he swinas
through the wicket he scores 10 points.
Further Directions.
After all the players, including the
"wickets," have had their turns, a new
round is begun. Two of the players
must form a wicket for those making
the original arch to swim through
when their turns come With each
round the contestants move back feet
until the distance between them and
the wicket measures approximately 90
feet. Any contestant who succeeds in
swimming through this final wicket
makes 20 points, or a double score.
The player whose score is highest wins.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Emotion and Intellect.

Enthusiasm may be a virtue. In
most ventures it's a necessity. But 1t
can't stand a hard examination. Being
an emotion, it fades away, when you
stop to take a look at it.
Among real estate statesmen enthus-
iasm is said to be the life of the trade.
The very moment salesman begins to
think that he is really taking money
from the customer that might better be
invested in other ways, his enthusiasm
suffers a slump. What was once the
life OF the trade, now turns out to be
the death of the trader. Why? Be-
cause emotion has flirted with the pale
cast of thought"
This pale cast of thought is the
parent OF consciousness. That's another
virtue, q virtue born of that abstract
parentage, ethics. But it won't stand a
very rigorous examination either, for
after all ethics is relative thing.
All this is just another way Of say
ing that the emotions and the intel
lect are friendly enemies. They have
to live In the same psychological camp.
Both have something to do with the
way We understand things, and why we
do things.
Inc emotionS IN the long run COM
pensate for intellect, and intellect re-
turns the compliment. We all go
through life trying to make the best of
our wishes on the one hand and our
better judgment on the other. About
half the time we are puzzled with our
own purposes.
The way to escape such conflicts be-
tween emotions and intellect is to follow
routine and custom. So red tape can
become salvation for lots of people.

Your Cri Hot or Cold?

Cri, as at least one out Of every ten
million persons in this country calls it,
is in some ways like bean porridge.
Some like it hot and some like it cold.
But let's not rake up the old con-
troversy. 1t Is all settled now, and
there Is nothing more we can do about
it until the other 9,999 .999 persons snap
out of it and quit calling it colde i'd
the head.
Today it is my nefarious purpose to
cite an interesting little scientific ex-
pertinent, which has considerable sig
nificance If you're not too old to receive
any new impressions.
L. Arnold, M. l.. OStrom and c. Sing
er procured AZ normal persons to act
as subjectS-by the way, such volun-
teers deserve lot of credit and get
none whatsoever-and sprayed cultures
of living germs into their noses. The
investigators wished to ascertain what
becomes OF living germs which get into
the breathing passages that way. They
made in all 400 such tests on the AZ
courageous volunteers, introducing an
average of 100000 germs in each
test.
Now as some readers know I never
brush my teeth and seldom leave a
high water mark on a bathtub. Just
the same I'd trump up some kind of
excuse If such an investigator asked
permission to implant 20 million mi
crobeS upon my nasal mucosa, even if
they were OF tame variety.
Wen, let's see now what became of
the eight billion microbes thus sown
upon the Schneiderian membrane. as
we specialists sometimes call it.
Within to 10 minutes from 90 to
80 per cent OF the seed was rendered
nonviable, incapable of growing, harm
less. The investigators made cultures
from the back wall of the throat to see
II any OF the germs had passed into
lures were negative-evidently the
germs had not passed into the throat.
In some cases they made as many
as eight successive seedlings in the same
nose, and each time found thst the
natural antlSeptic power of the rnucus
or normal secretion of the mucous
membrane remained unexhausted Sue
cessive lnvasions of little bands of 20
million germs apparently taxed the
automatic disinfecting mechanism little
or not at all.
Next, the investigators confined some
OF the volunteer subjects in a cold room
temperature As degrees F., humidity
80 per cent? and sprayed their nasal
mucoSa with the same kind of germ
cultures, 20,OOO,OOO lively microbes. The
cold, chilly environment proved without
influence upon the autosteriIizing power
Of the mucous membrane.
Finally they kept a few hardy SUBJ
lects in a room with a temperature OF
95 degrees and humidity 90 per cent
Pretty hot, that. When these subjects
were seeded with the standard 20 ,0OO,-
600 germs they were slow in disposine
of them-took As minutes to an hour
for the germs to disappear.
Far be from me to say I told YOU
so, but you must admit I have ALWAYS
