 Cites Cartoon
 "A cartoon in a recent issue of a popular magazine contains food for thought. It has two pictures, the first, of an old saloon, at 1 am. with a man leaning up against the bar; little girl is standing at the open door saying Father, dear father, come home with me now
 "The second, a modern night club of today, at 3 am, with all that gees with such things; a man is pleading this time-"Daughter, dear daughter. come home with me now
 If mother, daughter and son must be sent to the night clubs to keep father out of the saloon, one might question whether or not the lesser of the two evils would have been to have left father in the saloon.
 "Certainly, the moral conditions today as compared with those Of pre-prohibition days would not be overwhelming proof that prohibi- ton as a moral issue has been a success. But there are other factors that must enter into consideration.
 Just how much the Emancipa- ticn of Women and the Revolt Of Youth have had to do with the changed conditions, it is hard to say.
 Prohibition Old Standby
 Prohibition has always been the easiest way for reformers to dis pose of any objectionable custom, but it has seldom worked"
 Tn the opinion of Dean Rice, criticism of the Eighteenth Amend ment. which, in the belief of many embraces disloyalty verging on trea- son. is not without precedent.
 When MT Hoover was a candi- date for president" he declared, .he spoke of the Fig h te tn Amendment as a Noble Experi- ment,' not a success.
 "Gov. Al Smith favored refe- rendum to ascertain the will Of the people, as the Eighteenth Amendment was a legislative enact- ment, on which the people had not voted. And until such vote had been taken apart from politics, 1t is impossible for anyone to say that the people demand prohibition or it's repeal.
 Church Teaches Temperance
 eWhatever the attitude of other religious groups may take, the Epis- copal Church is not committed to any legislative enactment She teaches temperance at all times, and in all things. But it is nor her prerogative to say whether or not a specific method or legislative enactment will promote temper ance
 That is the responsibility of the individual, clergyman, or lay man. She teaches obedience to the laws of the land, but leaves her members free to question the value of those laws and to work for their repeal if they are not beneficial .

PIRANDELLO WANTS
 ID ACT IN TALKIE
Plans to Leave Sound Film So
 Poste7ity Will Know Him

Berlin. April c5 GP'-Luigi Piran- dcllo, Italian playwright and poet, desires to be handed down to pos tcrity not only through his literary works but also through the motion picture or the sound film.
 The man who wrote Six Charac ters in Search of an Author" has arrived in Berlin in search of q movie or talllic producer with imag- ination enough to grasp the signiti canoe of Pirandello's first subjecti- yist scenario.
 T have just rewritten my "Six Characters as a movie scenario, said Pirandello, who is spending some weeks in Germany, superin- tending the production of several of his plays. The theater director of my stage play is changed into the author in my movie scenario. In other words, I desire myself to play the role of what, in the stage play, is the theater director.
 The musical composer of today transmits his composition to poster ity not only through the printed page. He invokcs the aid of the photograph to leave to the world an exact version of his self-interpreta- | ton. What better authority can there be for interpretation of a | Kreislcr violin composition than q phonograph record by Fritz kreis- i Ter himself!
 Would Play Himself
 Then. why should the modern 1 playwright not make use of the movie and talkie to reveal himself? ! In playing the role of the author | in Six Characters I shall be play ing myself. I shall reveal myself as I really am. In the film drama Six Characters in Search of an Author,' l want 10 testify about myself. My personality, I believe, will there become transparent, un- derstandable."
 Though modostly disclaiming that his proposal of acting in q subjec- tivistic film may blaze a new trail Pirandello admitted that other char acters of our time might want to follow in his footsteps and reveal themselves to posterity in movie drama.
 Just think what it would mean to the world" he said, Ito have Charlie Chaplan play himself in a movie depicting his struggle against the talkie; or imagine your late President Wilson acting movie play showing his struggle against old diplomacy at Versailles"

New York State Is Spend ing Ten Millions On New Prisons and Equipment to Relieve Conditions.

The following is the first of a series of three stories concerning conditions in some of the major prisons of the country, prompted by the tragedy of the prison fire at Columbus, Ohio. The stories will cover prisons wherein there have been recent disturbances out of which have come several invcstiga- tions.
 New York, April 25 (UP)-F'ear of prison rebellions is always vividly present in the minds of institution officials, but fear of firc-usually a companion menace in jail revolts- is largely discounted in eastern penitentiaries by modcrnization and fire proofing of cell blocks, officials in various states said yesterday.
 A checllup of conditions in New York, inspired by Mondays disaster at Columbus, O., revealed today that a recurrence of the tragedy, in the New York state commissioner oi words of pr. Raymond r. C. Kicb corrections lis very remote"
 Four industrial buildings in New York prisons, including two at Au. burn. ono at Clinton and one at Sing Sing, have been condemned as fire risks and arc being replaced as rapidly as state funds permit, Dr Kieb said.
 The only real fire trap now exist ing, in his opinion, is the old laun. dry building at the MatteaWan hos pital for criminal insane, where l.; 147 inmates arc inCarCeratcd. Tire al Matteawan might lead to a holocaus that would shock the entire country he said.
 New York state is now spending and equipment. including a nep "model' prison at Attica.
 Roofs of New York prisons ar, intended to be fire resisting, though they are not claimed to b. tireproof. In the July riot at Au puil lllt ! ool OL tllc SOitJl ttil DlOCi caught fire from the maintenance building, but the prisoners were re moved to another cell house as sool as the blaze was discovered.
 As is the case in most states, Nev York's penal institutions are over crowded. Sing Sing, with d popula ton of 2,165 and a normal capacit, of 1,73S is the most heavily over loaded, although only the Grea Meadows prison, the Albion Trainin; school and the Bedford reformator, have fewer inmates than the size 0 the institution would warrant.
 New York's prison population numbers HISS, which is 1,65 greater than the normal capacity.
 The Rhode Island state prison i constructed of granite, and, in tn opinion of Warden Charles F.. Lin scott. there is no such thing as fire hazard' there. The construc ton of the cell blocks, the warde said, made it almost impossible for serious fire to gain hcadway, al though the prison at Howard wa built in 1878.
 The Rhode Island prison, housin 67S convicts. has been thorough modernized in recent years, an conditions are considered cNccllcn The main trouble there, it was ad mitted, comes from some over crowding, by the inclusion of prison CTS who, in other states, would confined in reformatorios.

Some Liberty Left

WHATEVER else may be said
w of our form Of government
with it's uneven distribution of
wealth, vested interests and the
eighteenth amendment, 1t still
stands for q degree of personal lib
ertv, which the Russian regime has
failed to visualize, much less to
guarantee.
More than that, 1t promises just
as much toward abolishing poverty.
We have too many poor, it is true,
but we have not yet fallen for the
sophistry that we can ameliorate
their condition by making every
body poor.
We have seasonal and sectional
spasms of intolerance, also, but not
to the extent of eyicting several
million farmers, and then denying
them a chance to work.
Occasionally, we permit ourselves
to become infatuated with some
radical, or revolutionary, piece of
idealism, such as putting old John
Barleycorn out of business over
night, or bringing about world
peace through the easy method of
signing agreements, but we have
always had sense enough to realize
that no unproven reform is worth
the price Of scrapping civilization.

Recovery in cases of exposure
while drunk depends in large meas
ure on the amount Of alcohol taken,
the resistance of the individual gen.
orally and the particular amount OF
cooling that he undergoes.
Just as in cases of unconscious
ness due to other causes, such as
gas poisoning, sunstroke and many
instances in which the circulation
and respiration are greatly inter
fered with, artificial respiration may
frequently be practiced with sue
cess.
Warm baths or packs gradually
increased to higher temperatures,
and the drinking of warm fluids are
valuable aids to resuscitatiou when
Inconsistencies occurs due to freez-
ing.
For this reason persons who seem
to be dead from the results of free5-
ing should not be permitted to pass
away without any attempt being
made to restore them to life.
Just as people have responded to
relief after electric shock or drown

FARO Agha may turn out to be the

ably the dispatch is preliminary
puff for something novel in the way
Of motion pictures.
But I hope that FARO really is as
old as he asserts, and that he verit-
ably is coming to these United
States. His visit should furnish ex-
cellent propaganda for the vets.
I'm thinking chiefly of the woman
vote, which is said to be the very
backbone of enforcement. Teetotal-
ism may have been good for Agha,
but just lcok at what 1t has done
to practically all the women with
whom he came in contact. Feminism
is not yet rampant in the east.
Istanbul harbors no local chapter
of the Lucy Stone League. If FARO
disliked liquor it is fair to assume
that his wives just naturally alb
horred it. At least, they got none.
And they pinned away and died.
The mathematical problem in

longevity of Mrs. Agha q to Il,

old gentleman evidently is a marry
ing man, but there is no sure way
Of telling just when he started.
Possibly he is a believer in long
engagements. His life would rather
justify him in saying, "Oh, what's
the rush?"

Trouble on the Horizon

Disarmament and prohibition These are the two
subjects which contend for primacy in the public
eye at this season. They brought together in a
singularly interesting way in connection with the
problem of the Canadian border.
One of the stock arguments used by the partisans
Of disarmament is the unfortifed Canadian boundary
line. For than century it has been the symbol
Of peace between two great nations.
1t has come to be taken for granted that serious
collisions between Canada and the United States are
out of the question.
Prohibition enforcement has changed all this. In
stead Of 5000 miles of eternal peace the border has
been changed into 5000 miles of perpetual invitation
to friction and dispute Prohibition officers have slain
numerous Americans, supposedly booteggers, their
way from Canada to the United States.
Suppose they should slay an innocent Canadian.
The degree of international excitement which be
aroused under the right circumstances when only one
life is involved is well illustrated by the famous Caro-
line incident of 1887.
In 1887 there in progress a temporary insur-
recton in the province of Ontario. Many Americans
Sypathized with the insurgents and the feeling along
the border was tense c. the night Of Dec. 90. 1887.
the American steamer Caroline crossed the Niagara
river with supplies destined for W. L. Mackenzie,
leader Of the rebels.
The Canadian regulars discovered the Caroline,
boarded her killed one of the crew, Amos Durfee and
sent the Caroline the falls. Great excitement
followed Americans clamored for revenge and Presi-
dent Van Buren, Immediately demanded that Great
Britain make reparation
While negotiations we're pending. Canadian
named Alexander Mcleod. to the American
shore and boased that he had killed Durfee. He i'm
mediaely seized indicted for murder and thrown
into Jail
The British government demanded the immediate
release of Mcleod and for time 1t looked though
there might be Better Judgment prevailed. how
ever. and ultimately Mcleod was acquitted and the
British assumed responsibility for destruction of the
Caroline.
Already frantic partisans Of prohibition are de-
claring that the Canadian border must be made
so0o-mile battle 'front.' What IT, in their increased
