 New York, March 17 - (UP) = New York city, the home of 35,O0O speakeasies and despair of all pro- hibitionists, was grateful today for all small favors, but the beer drinkers wondered whether the senate had put one over" when 1t reduced the alcoholic content of legal beet from 3.2 per cent to 3.05 per cent, and the wine drinkers turned up their noses at 3.05 per cent wine.
 Good wine of such low alcoholic content was quite out of the ques- ton, they said. Nature will not stop here process of fermentation at any arbitrary limit set by man and for wine to be good it must be allowed to ferment as nature in- tended.
 Out in the rought and tumble Sandy Hook District of Brooklyn where Representative Thomas H. Cullen, author of the beer bill, IS district leader, there were loud shouts of jubilation. His constitu- ents seemed to feel that his name had been made immortal. The dis trict annual St Patrick's Day d1n- ner was postponed a week so Cul- | len could be present for a "vic- tory" celebration.

Seriousness Also Has It's Place.
Daily Journal of Commerce, seattle.)

(Daily Journal of Commerce. Seattle)
 Many worthy men occupying high positions in national political life realize that they made ridiculous as the result of the practice of some press associations and the larger metropolitan papers in assigning humorists to report party con- ventions and other affairs of nationwide interest
 Our appetite for humor is apparently unsuitable, but seriousness has it's place. There positions, occupied by conscientious men, that should not be made targets for those whose only ability writers is "wise-cracking." Individuals, honestly trying to lend commendable dignity to important posts, are made to appear monkeys sticks" at times when, matter of fact, the public would benefit if humoristS would develop cases of writer's cramp The country thereby loses through mis- directed humor that knows bounds
 William Lyon Phelps, some time ago, wrote an article on the subject of boundless humor for the International Book Review. In it he stated in part T of the American public's desire for jococity Anyone who ridicule religion, morality and genuine earnestness is of audience. Humorous writers, or columnists, are keen critics of bumptious absurdities; they maintain excellence in grammar and diction and generally add to the daily happiness of thousands But to send out pro- fessional humorists who report national party con- ventions though every delegate were hypo- critical windbag, is to stutify the editorial and news columns and tends to persuade American youth that all of political leaders ridiculous frauds"
 Humor is wholesome and corrective force. There many laws and lawmakers that need its chastisement, but the deliberate attempt to make all of the proceedings of great party convention and all who participate in it ridiculous is not constructive journalism We stand to lose too much by such process

Public Works.
(New York World -Telegram.)


 With the Federal budget nearing balance the ways are being cleared in Washington for launch ing big public works program.
 This launching is long overdue. Normally we spend Federal, State and local public works some $3 00000000 year, or quarter the amount spent on all construction Last year this should have been doubled Instead it was sashed by third
 In framing the belated project the Administra- tion should be guided by three principles.
 First, the program should be large enough to prime the pump of private industry. AS Senator Wagner says, you can't prime pump with eye dropper President Roosevelt has warned that his plans will fall short of the huge spending bee de- manded by labor and many economists.
 Probably it will total no more than $3000,0 900, including R. F. c. loans, under the Wagner bill, to localities for tax-quidating projects and Fed eral bond issue. If this much money is quickly and wisely spent labor need be alarmed.
 Contrasted with year ago there are other unemployment remedies at work or in the making, imitation, Muscle Shoals forestation, domestic and international economic agreements.
 Next such practicable works should be chosen as will employ the greatest numbers of men at the earliest moment. Millions of Americans cannot be asked to subsist meagre doles when it is in the power of the Government to give them jobs
 Finally, public well private, spending should be carried on with view to the nations changing economy.
 Slum abatement, for instance, stands first as social mandate. But when we wipe out those bighted areas of America should recognize the trend of industry away from cities to the suburban and sem-rural regions. Instead of erecting model tenements on the costly sites of the old lung blocks we should build workingmens homes in the open spaces with bit of land around each of them.
 Where the slums stand could create parks or, perhaps, parking spaces for automobiles and landing fields for planes. Similarly highways, canals bridges and grade crossing works should be built with a view to the railroad problem and the future of traffic needs
 Duplicating unnecessary public buildings roads and pork barrel construction should be avoided.
 Post-depression America will be far different land from pre-depression America. We plan our public works to help make it fairer

and lakes to take dip Hardy summer passes without its drownings largely caused by the failure of swimmers to take few simple precautions.
 Everyone knows that it isn't safe to plunge into cold water when one is over-heated has just eaten big meal. It's equally unsafe to swim alone in a spot where none help you should help be needed It's foolish to dive into a strange hole without first convincing yourself that you aren't going to land a snag boulder or rocky, shallow bottom. It's not wise to go into the water if one is under par physically, to remain in after one is chilled and tiring
 All of these things known to every one who goes swimming. But good many people are drowned every year because they fail to observe them.
