Editor, Times:
In the alleged maltreatment
of the naval attaches of the
Siamese legation we have an
other example of the indefensible
police tactics that are employed
in this town. The naval officer
has a way of bringing the detec-
tive in the case to the bar OF
justice because of his diplomatic
status. The average citizen has
no such method of obtaining re-
dress open to him.
There was another case recent
ly,-that of the youth who was
blackjacked merely because he
had fallen asleep in his auto
mobile while parked. He has
succeeded in obtaining a retrial
and has been exonerated. But
there are hundreds of other cases
which are not fought out. The
policeman has become accustomed
to doing pretty much as he
pleaseS. insulting or even assault
ing anybody whom he fancieS he
suspects of doing something that
is against the law or some regula-
ton.
washington had good reason
to hope that when the new Dis
trict commissioner came into Of
flee there would be stop to this
sort of thing. So far, however,
nothing has been done except
General Crosby'S admonition to
policemen to be courteous to
citizens. If he is watching the
Police Department closely he. can
see now how they are observing
this admonition.
l hope, however, that General
Crosby will show the force in
vigorous terms that he expects
this rule to be obeyed. A little
dose of stiff discipline to offend
ing members of the force will
cure it without great difficulty
It is obvious to most of us that
police would not take the risks
that they do in treating citizens
as if they were felons and Grim
inals unless they thought they
had the support of their superior5
in trying to get away with it. -
Police inSolence and tyranny
has come into view so often, with
the apparent connivance of Police
Court officials, that there is no
question that the isue must be
met soon. 1t is true that the
tendency of all good citizenship
is to support the police in up
holding the law and to say they
were only doing their duty" when
an unfortunate incident" occurs.
There are so many cases, how
ever. of sheer wilful arrogance
on the part of the police that
we have good reason to protest
against present conditions.

George w. Crabbe superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League Of Maryland:
Friends of orderly government should
be patient. They should give President
Hoover every opportunity to study the
problem. Constructive criticism helps.
We should never forget that there may be
difficulties we know nothing Of Many
faithful public official has been discredited
because good citizens talked when they
should have helped.
Rev. George 3. Stafford, D D., superin-
tendent Of the Anti-Saloon League of Il
linoiS:
Prohibition enforcement in Illinois is
without question on a stronger foundation
today then at any time since the adoption
of the Eighteenth Amendment and both
in the rural districts and the larger cities
the sentiment of the people is unmis-
takably increased in strength for strict
enforcement of the law.
c.. Rowland Munroe, attorney for the
Anti-Saloon League of New Jersey:
What we really need is to develop
community consciousness and a commu-
nifty sense of privilege, responsibility and
power on the matter of law enforcement.
Atticus Webb, superintendent Of the
Anti-Saloon League of Texas:
AS Texan I want to saw that you will
not find the spirit of true democracy in

Hall preserved for 1882. You will find the
heart and soul of the Democratic party

IN It's policies and is entitled to the CO.
operation of every law-abiding citizen in
its efforts to promote law enforcement in
the country. The Anti-Saloon League
representing the viewpoint of those who
believe in the prohibition policy has an
obligation to build a supporting public
sentiment which it must fulfill.
DR.. William H. Phelps, editor of the
Michigan Christian Advocate:
Whatever the law may finally be we
must insist that the buyer is the arch
criminal against society and public opin-
ion must convict him whether or not the
law makes him a criminal. We maintain
that law breaking is not joke and sub
ject Of jokes any more than splitting at
the American flag is matter for men to
laugh about.
DR.. Arthur H. Briggs, superintendent Of
the Anti-Saloon League of California:
The unit of enforcement under state
law is the county. Every county is just
as clean as it wants to be. If any county
is not as it ought to be there is just one
reason for tit does not really want to
be any cleaner than it is.
Mrs. Ella A. Boole, president Of the Ma
tional Woman's Christian Temperance
Union:
We are the people. Our government is
what we make 1t. Our observance OF the
prohibition law will make for better
health, for more comfortable living, for
better citizenship and for greater ma
ton. Such an ideal, however, will not
come of itself. Inactivity has won moth
ing. The same promotion method as ap-
piled to business, to politics and to the
other great moral causes must help in
giving prohibition its chance.

represented at the convention by Senator
Morris Sheppard, Of Texas, who spoke at
the mass meeting on Sunday afternoon,
the concluding day of the convention,
and Congressman John w Summers who
spoke at the Saturday night banquet.
Senator Sheppard said in part:
1.-THE vast majority of those who drink
inevitably reach the point where they are
always in more or less drunken state.
There is a consolation in the fact, how
ever, that the leaders of the future will
not be found among the young men and
young women who frequent night clubs,
roadhouses, speakeasies and liquorized So
cial entertainments.
"They will come from the groups of
self-sustaining toll, as Ford, WoolWorth,
Carnegie and Edison came. Leaders will
be produced in far larger numbers by
reason of the better earning conditions
and better educational facilities that pro-
hibition has made possible for the youth
today Moonshine always will be eclipsed
by the sunshine of prohibition"
JUDGE ALLEN SPEAKS
Speaking at the banquet, Florence E.
Allen, judge of the Supreme Court of
Ohio, emphasized that 1.-The problem of
law enforcement calls upon us not only
to support the President, but also to put
forth individual efforts If we once con-
cede the right of the individual to decide
which law is law to him. the whole struc-
ture falls.
zone man selects the traffic ordinances
to violate, and runs through a red light;
another man decides to violate the prohi-
bition law, and becomes bootlegger; a
third man does not enjoy the statutes
against homicide and chooses to shoot his
wife, and so we slide down the perilous
course of notification until our most
cherished institutions are in peril.

DORIAN EXPLAINS DENATURANTS
Makes Reply to Members Of Con-
gress Who Protest Deaths From
POISON Liquor

DR.. James M. Doran, Federal prohibt'
ton commissioner, denies that denatur-
ants used in industrial alcohol are the
cause Of deaths.
Answering certain members of Congress
who have made wide assertions that many
deaths are caused by drinking industrial
alcohol in which there are denaturants
Dr. Doran said that the majority of deaths
from drinking beverages made from di-
verified alcohol have as their cause alcohol
poisoning due to over drinking rather
than to any specific poison placed in the
liquor.
DR.. Doran, who is an expert chemist,
declares that the small percentage of wood
alcohol used in denaturing formulas for
industrial alcohol is not enough to cause
the death of a person who tries to con-
vert the industrial alcohol into beVer-
age, and that before a person could die
from the toxic effects he would have to
consume enough of the beverage to kill
him through alcoholic poisoning. Wood
alcohol is employed in only seven prepara-
lions. More than year ago he ordered
all poison save wood alcohol taken out of
the formulas.

j. Bibb Mills, superintendent of the An
ti-Saloon League of Alabama:
The reason we have always succeeded
in the past is that we first had the issue
plain and then organized orr forces on
the issue. All campaigns whether cleo
tive or legislative, are helped materially
by diplomacy.

Silent City of the Dead every year. 1t

Rev. Warren G. Jones, superintendent
Of the Anti-Saloon League Of Wisconsin:
Since the repeal Of our state law Wis
consin has become what is called by our
Federal prohibition commissioner a boot
leggerS' Mecca, which is probably true.
This would indicate to the casual observer
that Wisconsin is getting Wetter. The
Federal Prohibition Department has re
doubled its efforts and has more than
doubled the number of raiders and con-
victions. Many cities and villages have
adopted the Volstead law as an ordinance
and some of them are getting better en-
forcement than they had under the state
dry act. Already there is an apparent re-
action not only from the drys but some
of the vets and the demand is steadily
growing for the e-enactment of the state

BEAUTY CHATS
BlaCkheads.

Blackheads are hateful. They are
composed Of matter that usually Is
thrown on by the skin, or else sticky
cosmetics that are not properly re-
moved, mixed with dirt that works into
them and gives them the blackhead
they are named for.
Heat and oil are needed to remove
them. SO steaming comes first, for 1t
relaxes the skin, 1t enlarges those pores
which hold this black matter. Mind
you, too much steaming is bad, 1t dries
the skin and relaxes it too much. But
q few minutes with cloth or a series
OF cloths, wrung from hot water, Is
necessary.
Now use oil. OIL, plus the heat, mix
es with the matter in the pores, softent
1t, helps 1t come out. Use q lot Of
oil, warm II you like, but not too cold
In any case. Let 1t stay on the skin
five minutes or 80, keeping your face
warm-that Is, staying in the warm
room you were In when you washed.
Then rub all the oil OF with rough
old towel-the rubbing helps some OF
the blackheads to come out.
Very bad ones can be squeezed
You'd better get O watch key or one
OF the regular comedon removers-a
metal bit with tiny hole, which press
es the skin gently around the black
head and pushes 1t out through this
little opening. Surface blackheads and
small blackheads will be rubbed away
with the towel. But all the pores are
open and relaxed, and must be closed
