jority report. The other ten attached
their names to it and gave out state
ments showing that no one Of them
agreed with it's findings in their en-
tirety.. rT
This majority report is against re-
peal of the Eighteenth amendment,
and, admitting that prohibition has
not been enforced or observed, recon-
mends that it be given further trial,
with an enlarged force of agents. Re-
m0vai of the restrictions on the pre-
scription of medicinal liquor by phys
icians is advised. If the dry amend
ment is to be revised at all, the COM
mission is agreed on certain phrase
Ology which would empower congress
tc deal with the liquor traffic as it
sees fit. Modification of the Volstead
act so as to permit tae manufacture
and sale of light wines and beer is
opposed. aaa
In a separate report the plan for
revision giving congress the power to
regulate or prohibit the manufacture
and sale of liquor was set forth in de-
tail by Henry w. Anderson of Vir-
ginia. and it was signed by Commits
sioners Anderson, Kenyon, Loesch,
Pound, Mccormick and Macintosh.
Statements of the individual CON-
missioners appended to the general re-
port showed that of the eleven men,
bers, six consider it hopeless to ex-
pect that prohibition can be made to
prohibit. Two of these six-former

The other four of these six-Mr. An
derson, Ada L. Comstock, president of
Radcliffe college; Frank J. Loesch of
Chicago. and Dean Roscoe Pound of
Harvard law school-favor immediate
revision of the Eighteenth amendment
to confer the power of regulation on
congress.
Five Of the members Chairman
George w. Wickersham, United States
Judges William S. Kenyon, Paul J.
Mccormick a1d William /. Grub, and
former Chief Justice K. NJ. Mackin-
tosL Of the Washington Supreme
court--stood out for a further trial.
Judges Kenyon, Macintosh and Nc
Cormick said that If the further ex-
pertinent failed they would favor adop-
ton of the Anderson plan of national
regulation Of liquor.
In transmitting the report to con-
gress, President Hoover said he was
in accord with its stand against re-
peal of the dry amendment, and ad-
ded: II do, however, see serious OBJ
jections to. and therefore must not be
understood as recommending the COM
missions proposed revision Of the
Eighteenth amendment which is sug-
gested by them for possible consider
alton at some future time If the con-
tinued effort at enforcement should not
prove successful" o-l,-4-L =,

sin was quick to introduce modifica-
ton amendment on the general lines
of the plan offered by Commissioner
Anderson but combining congressional
power to regulation Of liquor traffic.
Like the Anderson scheme, it would
permit each state to decide whether
it desires prohibition or government
controlled liquor supply.

Everyday Psychology
Real Human Nature.
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.

Human nature in the abstract! That's
the picture painted by the philosophers
Of a former day. The earlier students
tried their best to make human beings
appear to be something they are not,
something they can never become
Just lately, as if only yesterday. a
new school Of philosophy has arisen.
You might call its adflerents realists
Darwin led the way. Freud followed
with an enthusiasm that shocked the
Older philosophers out Of their academic
thrones. And they have not entirely
given up the hope Of being re-
enthroned.
What do the realists stand for? HUI
man nature in the concrete. Darwin,
in the mildest way possible, taught that
human nature is merely a part of all
nature. Living things are related. The
kingdom of man IS continuous with the
animal world-part of it.
The essence of Freud's realism Is
this: Human beings, in trying to live
up to the distractions Of our old philos-
ophies, make a mess Of things. Man
thinks so highly of himself that he is
forced to mask his real self behind lot
Of pretenses which, in time, become
burdensome. The net result Is incipient
or actual neurcsis. We know these bur-
dens in terms of completes, repressions,
rationallZations. These and other mech
anisms reval the realities, the absurdi-
ties Of civilization and the dangers
which beset it on every hand.
The plea Of the realist Is this: Don't
expect absolute sanity; overlook a lot
Of weaknesses; be prepared to expect
some curious twists in the minds of
men.

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER-

Can you help me In a matter that IS
not only troublesome, but expensive?

quently clogged. Twice recently we

saws there is nothing the matter with
the drain. I am careful never TO pour

Do you always use the sink stratner
as yoI should? In pouring out the
contents Of the teapot or coffeepot or
any other liquid that is to be thrown
out you should always pour through the
strainer. Be careful, too, not to use
linty dish cloths because particles OF
cotton or wool do more than anything
else to stop drains. When pouring out
water that has been used for cleaning
be careful to pour 1t through the sink
strainer so that particles OF lint, etc,
will not go down the pipe.
After dinner dishes have been washed
every day pour boiling water down the
drains and flush well. Once or twice
q week pour down boiling water in
which washing soda has been dissolved.
A good plan is to add a little vinegar
and salt as well as the soda water.
After this has been poured down be
sure and flush the pipe well with plenty
of hot water.
