might be regarded as showing dry tendencies in the reign of prohibition. And that was merely Iattsfly. Alabama. Arkansas, and Tennessee have been dry for years. even before the era of Volstead It is quite evil dent that they wish to return to their former aridity and not that produced by eonstitu- tional authority.
 All of which leads us to the point at issue. What would result if prohibition we're to end tomorrow It would vary according to the state. As we said above in Alabama. Arkansas and Tennessee the dry laws that were enforced would again be en- forced. Whether or not this would conflict with any new laws permitting sale of legal ized wines and beers we do not know. but we don't presume it would as the states lawmakers wouldn't sanction sales of any alcoholic beverages without amending exist ing laws that were never repealed.
 A number of federal laws would apply. too. if prohibition were to depart abruptly without giving Congress chance to rem edy the situation. We can mention offhand the Webb-Kenyon law which forbids the shipment of liquor from a wet state into dry one Certain internal tax revenue laws would also be imposed just as they were prior to 1920. That should be the least of our worries at this writing when repeal is foregone conclusion. We have provided against the future by creating control board and setting up ordinances for manufacture and sale.
 What should be of concern now is the problem of satisfying demands when and if prohibition ends and some states demand liquor. Only 100000 gallons of medicinal liquor are now manufactured annually. That must age five years before being placed on the market. Unless chemical processes now being experimented with to hasten the aging process prove successful we will be forced to draw heavily on foreign countries for supplies. That would happen to some extent anyway. But we agree with Major A. V. Dalrymple, national prohibition ad- ministrator !. that now is the time to start licensing distilleries and wineries for the bonded manufacture of hard liquors He says. There is no use to kid ourselves and there isn't any use in delaying the start of liquor manufacture. It will mean putting hundreds of thousands of men back to work and it will mean hundreds of thousands of dollars of new business. :" What more do we need to produce action?

Postmaster General Farley in his role as simply that and not political boss of the party has issued timely warning. It should bring home to many gullible citizens the peril of "tips" on the stock market. Of recent weeks trading in the market has en- joyed distinct boom. Not only have stocks scared to new highs, but trading gave every indication of sound belief in sub stantial securities Also brokers loans showed substantial increases. Mir Farley calls the attention of the public. though, to the un- reliability of "tipster sheets. They merely encourage speculation of the widest type. He says T shall not hesitate to issue fraud orders against every individual bureau. cor poration or association engaged in any prac- tice which under the law is fraudulent. In- structions have been given to the chief in- spector to investigate and make full report to men with respect to all such frauds. :" Beware, therefore. of those better bureaus that are going to show you how to make your money work for you. Don't put too much credence on the tips you get, whether you pay for them or get them gratis. Every city or town has its share of reputable deal CTS in bonds and securities. Why not trust them in preference to unknowns anxious merely to part you from your coin of the realm?

Luminous Road Signs

A Memphis man has been in Chicago showing his system of illuminated highway markers to traffic experts and engineers. They are constructed on the principle of the stop" signs at railroad crossings and dan gerous intersections which are automatically illuminated at night when the headlights of approaching cars shine on the red glass of the signs.
 These markers, however. would indicate directions, curves, routes. and SO on in addi- ton to giving warning of traffic dangers. They are made of metal. with illumnators or lenses of different colored glass; The signs themselves will be five or six feet high, easily seen by day or night They will reproduce the exact layout of the road ahead. $" curves. railroad crossings. road intersections. left or right turns. and all the rest. Their designer claims they can be made for half the cost of present directing and warning signs.
 They sound like great improvement over present markers. their 24-hour visibility being only one of their special advantages. A change in road marking systems has been needed for some time. Something of this sort may represent the next step.

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
Tn All The World The Only Woman

"The Lord of Life," by Neil Bell, is a slightly labored but ingenious tale of how human nature acts Tn
 the face of a world catastrophe. Al eccentric inventor finds a
 way to annihilate the atom. His experiment gets away from him and almost annihilates the earth as well. It causes a sort of com bination of earthquake, hurricane
 and volcanic eruption which de- stroys everyone on the globe = with the exception of the occu- pants of a British submarine,
 which, being below the sea at the time. missed the full force of the upheaval.
 These people land, realize what has happened, and set to work to build a new society. The catch is that there is just one woman in the crowd, and if the earth is to be re-peopled 1t ls strictly up to her. Being con- scientious lass, she accepts the nomination, and in the next decade or so she takes as husbands. suc-
 cessively, practically all of the male
 survivors.
 She has children, in plenty =
 but they're all boys.
 Finally the one male ,survivoi who hasn't married this poly androus lady steals the colony's motorboat and sails off on yoy- age of discovery. He finds an other survivor = a girl who was up in the stratosphere in a bal loon when the applecart turned over-and he and she marry and have several daughters. They thereupon go back to the colony
 steal the boy children, and SC
 blithely off to start the race anew
 leaving the colonists to extinction It might fill in an idle summer

Farm Colonies To Aid

One of the most interesting of all the ex- periments the Roosevelt administration IS going to make will be its venture in "sub- sistenee farming for industrial workers on the fringes of big cities. A $25, 100000 fund is available for this work and the first colonies will be established soon. What the stunt will amount to is simply this: Land will be obtained on the edge of city and will be subdivided into small farms of one. two or three acres. A small home. perhaps to cost $3.O0O. will be established on each plot In the middle of the colony will be store. playground and social hall. and the like.
 Occupants of these homes will be indus trial workers from the city. Each family will have enough land to raise vegetables. chickens and little fruit and. possibly. to keep COW. And the idea is that these workers will not only get the benefit of fresh air. open country life. and so on: they will be far more independent of the uncer- tainties of industrial life than any workers can possibly be under ordinary conditions.
 If the factory that employs one of these men shuts down, for instance. the man doesn't starve. He stays at home. raises his own food. keeps his expenses down to verl low minimum and has, on the whole. pretty fair sort of time. Furthermore. while he is working he has his own source of sup ply just the same. The arrival of the shorter work week gives him ample time to cultivate his garden and look after his place. He does not need to spend as much on his day-to- day expenses as he did formerly His money goes farther. He is more secure in every way. That. at any rate. is the theory: and it looks as if the $25.000.000 that will s go into this experiment will be money very well spent.
 To be sure. it may not work out as ex- pected. It is quite possible. for example. that it will painfully narrow the market for the regular farmer. It may lead the worker into debt and give him more worries than he already has. There are half dozen ways in which it may prove impractical. But the experiment is very much worth making. It may me that big part of the solution to the modern workers problem is to be found in some such thing as this. and 1t is tre- mendously encouraging to know that Uncle Sam is going to spend money to find out about it.

 Washington.-"Cully Cobb is as happy as a boy wearing his first long pants" remarked Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace.
 So was Wallace and everyone else in the agricultural adjustment administration. The campaign to sign up farmers to take 100000 bales of cotton out of production had succeeded after days of doubt and nights of worry.
 Keystone of the whole recovery program" exclaimed tired Gully Cobb, the Georgia farm journal editor who is chief of the A. A. A. cotton production section. Failure would have been a disheartening blow to the administration, which has difficulties enough.
 For days and nights Cobb sat at his desk-like a presidential candi- date receiving election returns. Telegrams streamed in from state capitals of the, cotton belt, an- nouncing latest totals.
 Though victorious in his cam paign for acreage reduction pledges, Uncle SaM's troubles with cotton have only started. Careful check must be made to see that these promised reductions are actually carried out, and moreover the farmers who make acreage cuts are to be compensated by the government for the sacrifice of a portion of their crop. There's still a lot to be done before the cotton relief job is finished.
 Twenty-Five thousand field work CTS were reaching 100000 farm CTS. inspecting land and estimating crop possibilities, sometimes checking gin records and frequent ly filling contracts. Nearly 1000 tabulators, computers, editors, ex- aminers, attorneys and review ex- perts plugged away on three daily eight-hour shifts with comptome- ters, checking, adding and assort- ing hundreds of thousands of con- tracts.
 The campaign closed at mid night, but 1t wasn't certain that 1t had gone over until late next day. Then Gully Cobb went home to get some sleep.
 One reason the ,drys make such a poor showing in the repeal ref erenda is that their once mighty war chest is now a mere cigar box. They were able to raise only $500, one hears. for their attempt to save Iowa.

 I am 18 years old and feet inches tall. Any chance for me to become Q fOoter? (D. J. F.)
 Answer-If only you were centipede we might lop off 1-2 feet and 1t would scarcely be noticeable. Up to the age of 23 1t is still pos sible to promote increase in stature by suitable ductless gland medication-which, of course, only your physician can administer.
 Putativc Father
 Is there test which proves that Q man Is the father of child? (D. o. S.)
 Answer-No, but blood grouping tests may show that man is NOT the father of the child. This test gives such evidence in only one out of six or seven cases.

Some Good Advice

This is the day of the insect pest. We read in our daily newspapers that their num- Der is on the increase annually. New and strange varieties are imported to add to the woes and worries of the farmer. Even the expert aid of the scientist does not seem to prevail against their slow but steady march across the fields of the United States. In the last ten years we have had introduced to our shores such strangers as the Oriental Fruit fly. the Mexican bean beetle. the Japanese beetle, and scores of others native to the soil on which they now thrive nightly.
 This condition of affairs has necessitated a militant attitude upon the part of those who produce our crops. They battle these seourages through sprays and powders. And go numerous have become the insecticides that various forms of poison are being called upon to wipe out the advancing hosts. In many cases these poisons are as dangerous to man as to bug And some timely advice on this very subject is offered today by Dr Morris Fishbein. eminent writer and authority on things medical. In well-prepared treatise on the chemical sprays of poisonous charac- ter he shows how man must take precautions to safeguard himself lest in saving his crops he poison his system.
 In part he explains that Sprays of nico- tine. tobacco dust. paris green and lead. as well as arsenic. are often used on growing fruits and vegetables Most such poisons may be removed from fruits by thoroughly washing. particularly with agents which act to oppose the particular poison involved. In the case of vegetables such as lettuce and cabbage. it is possible to remove the outer layer and then. by means of washing. to get rid of practically all of the insectcide. It is not possible. however, to do very much with asparagus in the way of getting rid of poison short of thoroughly washing with suitable solutions. :.
 The consumer need not fear acute poi soning the next time he eats an apple. an orange lettuce, cabbage. or celery. He should know, however. that there are occas- sional hazards from eating fruits and vege- tables that have been sprayed with poisons :. It seems likely that in the near future the agricultural chemists will be able to de- velop insecticides and methods for the re- moval of poisons which will guarantee safety in the use of all such food products. =. In fact even now government scien- tists are experimenting with preparations that are labelled deadly to the bug. whatever its species and harmless to the consumer.

Here, There And Everywhere
THE LAST CITADEL FALLING
(Hartford Tlmes) :

liIiCoI The election results in Alabama
 and Arkansas seem to make repeal of the eighteenth amendment a virtual certainty. If that is so the quicker 1t can come now the better. Satisfactory enforcement becomes more impossible with the apparent certainty of repeal.
 We cannot analyze completely the vote which is putting the south on record against federal prohibi-
 ton after years in which that sec- ton held the dry leadership. Part ly, the change must be due to con- viction that with sentiment hav- ing expressed itself so overwhelm- ingly in the north the south should not stand in the way of the major- ity national opinion. Fundamental ly, however, we venture to think
 that the people of the south look
 at the matter in very much the same light as do their friends and
 relatives in the north.
 It can be said now that the dem- ocratic party has kept its platform pledges on the prohibition ques- tion. It stands today, logically, as
 1t used to do, for right of the sov- ereign states to manage their
 domestic affairs without inter- ference from the federal govern ment.

The inroad of termitss along the Sound has reached New Haven. according to re- ports from that city. The last we heard of these peculiar insects they were down in the Bronx, New York. Now they're threaten ing the Elm City. Enormously called white ants the termite is one of the most de- structive pests ever to come to the attention of mankind. Its particular delight is de- stroying wood. particularly that used in the foundation of your house. Huge beams. inexplainably weakened. have often been found completely hollowed out by colony of termites Let's hope New Haven homes will escape their attacks.
