Editor Times-On March 26 you
ran a story featuring E. C. Drury,
former premier on Ontario, giving
so-calIed evidence before the house
committee on prohibition, in Wash
ington.
In his testimony he claimed that
government control Of liquor in On
tario was failure. Please let me
say that government control in
Ontario is a bowling success COM
pared to the administration he gave
the province Of Ontario during that
unfortunate period when he was
premier. If I remember rightly. the
provincial treasurer, one Peter
Smith. under his regime, died in jail
for stealing from the privincial
funds.
And during his prohibition en-
forcement there was more crime,
more drunkenness, and more muir
ders committed in Ontario than any
time previous or after. The writer
lived in Ontario during Drurys pro-
hibition law and also under the
present system Of liquor control.
In closing let me state that there
is less drunkenness in Ontario today
than there ever was under prohibi-
ton. HUGH M. GEROW,
1907 Park avenue.
Editor Times-We agree with w.
H. Montgomery in his letter to The
Times when he says: IF I am nomi-
mated and elected to the next legis-
lature, 7 vii fight for bill TO re-
move forever the shackles from In
diana's press" All right, well and
good. Now We wonder if Mr. Mont
gomery would fight for bill to re-
move the shackles from Indiana S
taxpayers and help to repeal a bill
that no doubt will be introduced In
the next legislature to exempt the
banks of Indiana from taxation.
How about 1t, Brother Montgomery?

Your Baby and Mine
Bx MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mothers refuse to admit that chill
dren can experience jealousy. What
does that child, that baby, know about
jealousy?" they pooh-pooh, while to
the discerning eye their children are
exhibiting unmistakable evidences of
this bitter and unwholesome emotion.
So long as the mother refuses to adj
NIT the POSSIBILITY Of jealousy there is
little chance OF her preventing or cor
recting 1t. The much more helpful
attitude Is to keep ones eyes open,
note the acts of children which are In
applicable and relate them to some
changes in the home situation which
might be responsible for them.
Mrs. A. W. admits having had no
experience with jealousy. But she like

crops up in most families, and espe-

is little cause for jealousy.

Influence of Greek Costume

hold their hair in place when they
joined in the popular games and sports.
Greek girls and women wore their hair
not very long. not very short. 1t hung
to the shoulders and was Topped and
curled in such way as to leave the
natural contours of the head undls-
t,Irbed. and this is the mode OF halr
arrangement that is approved today.
Greek women spared no pains In
the Arrangement of their hair and the
professional hair dresser was as es-
sential to the happiness of women tnen
as he is today. Simple as was the gen.
eral effect of the finished couture every
hair and curl had to be In place.
To carry out the ideals OF classic
Greek hair dress some OF the most IN
fIuential hair dressers are making use
Of filets and bands for evening wear;
through the aid Of which wayward
locks of the partly grown hair are
easily kept in position. Sometimes
these consist Of sinnple strands. wrought

Unfortunately, the duchess took a
