CADETS TO RECEIVE
PLAQUE FOR DRILL
Military Order of the World
War offers Trophy to
Best Company.

Establishing a precedent this year,
the District Chpater of the Military Or
der of the World War will award a
large silver plaque in June to the cadet
company which the War Department
selects as the best drilled unit at East
ern, Western, Central or Tech High
Schools.
The War Department designation
probably will be made next month and
the presentation ceremony will follow
at some day to be announced later.
In making the award, the organiza-
ton, composed of officers who served in
the World War, hopes to combat I'M
American propaganda in the schools by
stimulating patriotism and character
development through competitive mill
tary training.
The designation of the winning COM
| panies will be inscribed on the tablet
which becomes the property of the flrst
school to receive the award for the third
| time.
The tablet, now on display in a sport
ing goods store in the 1900 block of @
| street, was selected by a committee
composed of Col. CORTLAND Nixon, adj
| jutant general of the service organiza-
ton; Maj Gen. Wendell c. Neville
commandant of the Marine Corps, and
| Maj. EnnallS Waggaman.

Re of Good Cheer

Those who can be happy only when hVlng WIN
a false sense Of security and perfection won't nave
q good Christmas But others can be happy with
such blessings as are given, without believing that
ais right with the world.
It is true that there is unemployment and suffer-
ing this winter And it is true that only the selfish
can be completely content while others are in want
But there are compensations even in suffering.
Perhaps out of the national need is coming new
sense OF responsibility shared by us all II that Is
true the suffering will be relieved and will be pre-
vented next time.
Certainly philanthropy this year has been on
larger scale than ever before. And it means more
because most persons have had less to share with
others.
Certainly there is more determination now than
ever before to break the vicious cycle of depression
following prosperity More federal officials and en-
ployers have recognized the basic right Of every man
TO steady and decent job and the responsibility of
industry and the nation to adjust the economic
system to maintain that permanent employment upon
which the national prosperity depends.
internationally, also, the world is more aware Of
the dangers threatening peace. Those dangers are
not new The fact that they now should
me the occasion of hope and not of despair. Only
thus can the nations through cooperation prepare
for lasting peace.
The Christmas ideal Of perfect peace on earth
and good will among is a long goal. 1t can not
be gained in one generation. But if we move in our
hating way toward that ideal kingdom upon the
earth we can rejoice in humility and happiness.

Finally, human being may be
bitten by an insect which takes his

the spread of disease is concerned,
the human carrier constitutes a
constant menace.
Moreover, mass activities of man
kind, such as attendance in ire
mendous numbers on motion pic

elevators, apartments and office
buildings tend to increase contact
with diseased persons.
Among the diseases spread by Sc

The Control of Liquor

It can not be denied that in the last election op
onents of national prohibition made gains Of mpor-
lance OF course this does not mean repeal or modi-
cation Of the dry law in the new congress, but now
that the bitterness and vuperaton of the campaign
have almost been forgotten significant facts can
be referred to without accusations of radical dry or
radical wet prejudices.
During the campaign a candidate who opposed
national prohibition was called wet and in the
minds of many people that classified him simply as
man who wanted the liquor business revived.
But paradoxcal as it may seem, many of the out
standing men who oppose national prohibition are
striving the goal the ardent prohibonists
Both want real control of liquor. One group be-
eves it can be obtained by method; the other by
another.
The standpat drys. although willing to concede
present enforcement conditions unsatisfactory, still
insist real liquor control can be obtained through the
Eighteenth amendment; that the Vostead law can be
enforced and racketeering evils eliminated.
The views of the new leaders of the forces opposed
to national prohibition might be summarized as
follows:
More effective control can be obtained through

These men do not want the old saloon with its noler

In the words of Dwight Morrow, they believe pro

great criminal gangs throughout the country which
grew so powerful because of the great wealth obtain
able through bootlegging.
This group argues that the liquor question is still
with US in quite meracing form as before. The
old liquor trade of the saloon days corrupted politics
and put fostering sores in metropolitan neighborhoods
and in many places the modern has done the
same.
The alternative offered is return of liquor

Under their plan each state could be dry or

would reflect public sentiment should be more easily

seems to be demand for modified dry law such
