Dry Era Hangover

The alcoholic beverage control law adopted for the
District by the Congress has proven be-
in general an ADMIRABLE SOLUTION OF THE DIFF
FICULT AND DELICATE PROBLEM PRESENTED
TO THE CITY WHEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
OVERWHELMINGLY REPUDIATED PROHIBITION
The law has brought under legal control the liquor
business rescuing it from the outlaw and thug and turn
ing it over to REPUTABLE, HONEST AND LAW
ABIDING BUSINESS MEN.
It has brought about much saner method of drinking
on the part of the public than prevailed during prohib
ton and has contributed to the ideal of temperance
There are however, some minor provisions of the act
which have been proven to be sly-provisions which
are simply HANG-OVERs OF THE ABSURD PsY-
GEOLOGY WHICH BROUGHT ABOUT THE PRO
HIBITI0N AMENDMENT WITH ITS ATTENDANT
EVILS.
One of these the provision which makes it illegal
to take a dri --or even to finish drink-at min
ute after midn,g On Saturday although perfectly
alright to take She same drink at minute before
midnight.
This prOUisiOn has made unnecessarily difficult
the efforts of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
to bring about sensible and realistic enforcement
of the LGUU as against the obnoxious lack OF enforce
naent that existed under prohibition.
It has proven nuisance to thousands of patrons of
restaurants and clubs and been the
to the operators of these establishments.
Representative Everett NJ Drksen, of Illinois, has
introduced bill which would eliminate this unnecessary
provision.
IT DESERVES THE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION
OF BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS AND ITS ENACT
MENT WOULD DO AWAY WITH NEEDLESS

making the point that this queer
stuff which comes from the in
terror of a whale is a very precious
substance indeed.
One notes in the run of the
news that sizeable lump of am
bergris, a chunk weighing some
40 pounds, has been picked up re.
Gently by a lucky beachcomber
who finds himself about $4,000
better off.
There's clear case of Dame
Nature handing a gift to a lucky
son of Adam, for that lump Of
ambergriS was dBgorged by a
whale somewhere. out in the At
lantic, and somehow it got washed
ashore. at a particular point, to be
salvaged by a particular person.
Luck with a capital L."
It's curious stuff, this concre-
ton which forms in the intes-
tines of the greatest of living
creatures. Apparently, whales
suffer bilious attacks, like
humans, and the amber, a solid,
fatty, inflammable substance of a
dull gray or brackiSh color, the
shades variegated like marble, Gel
lular and most evil smelling. is
formed as a consequence of the
indispoSition.
1t is found floating on the sea,
on Seacoasts or in sands near
seacoaStS. 1t is found in the At
lantic Ocean, on the coasts of
Africa, Madagascar, the East
Indies, China, Japan and the
Molucca Islands, and Brazil. Most
OF the ambergriS which is taken
to England for refinement
comes, however, from the Ba.
hama Islands.
The reason it is worth so much
is that it is an ingredient abso-
lutely essential in the manufac-
ture Of high-grade perfumes. eSpe-
cially in the Far East.
CURIOUS STUFF
Young Swains and old hus-
bands, who are inclined to rebel
at the price of ten dollars, or
more, an ounce for their lady's
perfume, can read the answer
to the high cost in the fact that
the high-clasS product, which has
a permanent aroma, is dependent
solely on sick whales and these
are not to be found just around
the corner.

homes for them, but how often do
we make them feel that we have
any faith in them?
How often do we do reverence
to that pride, that Self-reSpect,
which cries for recognition in even
the most degraded human heart?
How often do we preface our
charitable act by the decent state
ment-"I believe in you"
That's one sort of help which
we don't give; yet, I'm sure that
it's the potent and necessary form
Of help. For the greatest rehabili-

recognition before his body needs
clothes or his purse needs money.
HIS PRIDE
And even though you give
clothes and money, if you have
left that pride naked and in the
dust you have wasted your charity.
Does it pay to give advice?
I've had a good deal of expert
ence upon which to base my an.
swer to that question. I have been
giving both written and oral ad.
vice for many years in the course
of my work. Very often that ad-
vice has been supplemented by
personal cooperation which has
lasted over weeks or years.
And yet I doubt If one person
out of a thousand can be helped
by advice.
Most people want advice and
request it with every evidence
of sincerity. There are many
reasons for this. An advice.

BURGOS

One of the most delightful Span
ish towns is BurgoS, an ideal place
in which to spend the summer, and
most popular with students from
all over the world who each year
throng the institute organized by
the ancient university.
It is an old town. this Burgos,
and a beautiful one with lovely
gardens and walks of leafy ave
nues. It's architecture is superb,
and interesting even to those to
whom a church is a church or a
palace just an immense, ancient
building.
Burgos lies in the valley Of the
Arlanson in CASTLE, and is at the
foot of hill which is crowned by
the ruins of a castle. Long before
arriving at Burgos, the traveller
glimpses it's marvellous twin towers
and the slender pinnacles of the
lovely cathedral, famous for its
filagree work, it's chapels, its carv-
ings, stained glass and other mar
velous ornamentatlon.
This traveller has visited the ca
thedral of Burgos many times and
always discovered new glories.
Then there is the pariah church
of San Estaban. built in 1880, with
marvellous collection of priceless
tapestries.
BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS
No less magnificent is the secu-
lar architecture of Burgos. Wan
dering through the winding
streets one is continually sur
prised by unexpected beauties,
not only the great building, but
little houses. an archway. a gate
or a door. There is the Miranda
palace, built in the sixteenth cen
tury by the Abbot of Salas, Don
Francisco de Miranda.
Nearby is the sumptuous facade
of the casa de Angulo. The
manorial palace of the Con,
stables of CASTLE is worth COM
ing from afar to lee.
Most interesting is the Arco de

CdLAJ oLu4AAACA'
Representative Clifton A. Wood
rum CD Of Virginia, recently
discussing adjournment possibii-
tiles and the probability that the
Presidents tax demands would
delay Congress until June, point
ed out that had it not been for
the "lame-duck" amendment the
House and Senate could close and
members head for home to begin
work on campaigns.
Said Woodrum:
81 am still proud Of the fact
that 1 voted against the lame
duck amendment"
incidentally, one of the things
Congress will be forced to do before
it adjourns is to pass law chang
ing the date for it's convening next
January 3.
The "lame-duck" amendment
provides that Congress shall meet
on January, but, next year, that
date fails on the Sabbath, so that
Congress must select another day

A DEFINITION

There has been considerable
controversy as to the qualifica-
tions of all the experts" recruited
in Government service under the
present Deal.
Comptroller General j. R. Nc
Carl once ruled on the subject
in the following manner:
"It must be regarded that
the term Experts is intended
to include only those specifi-
calIy qualified by education and
experience in a particular line
to perform a special service es-
Sential to the accomplishment
of the legislation proposed and
who are not generally obtain
able under the operation of the
Civil Service laws and regula-
tiOns."
The ruling was made June Is.
1884, when the Government pay
rolls were Uttered with the names
Of experts and a new fiscal year
was approaching, so that the
Democratic bureau chiefs were
anxious to learn just what type
of person they could hire under
the term,

>inexpensive products contain none
at all.
Three small finds have been re.
ported from Oregon in the past
five years and the richest most
recent one was that of a 53-pound
lump landed at whaling station
in Scotland and sold in London
for $42,750. The largest lot on
record was taken off the Bahamas
in 1858 by a Nantucket whaler-
60G pounds
In these days, the NorwegianS,
whale hunters for the world, harry
the great creatures with floating
machine shops and destroy them
with dynamite. Gone is adven-
ture and romance from one, of the
most thrilling adventures. Gone
are the days when the whaling
fleets put out from ProvlncetoWn
and New Bedford.
Great floating factories are the
whaling ships of today, and there
will be no Herman Melville to
write an imperiShable tale of their
wanderings.
MODERN METHODS
No Moby Dick will come from
these voyages. They have cost &C
counting on these modern whalers.
A missed shot sets the company
back, $4,000, and the gunners
rarely miss. The harpoonS weigh
from 120 to $50 pounds. In the
head of each harpoon is a charge
of explosive, detonated as the har-
poon is imbedded, releasing iron
flunkes which flare out, making
escape impossible. There is a
lead line of several hundred feet
and sometimes as much as mile
of two-inch hawser. The whale IS
drawn alongside and pumped full
of air.
AS thoroughly and efficiently as
the Chicago stockyards, the
whalers take their complete toll OF
profit-oil, at around $50 a ton,
spermaceti for making cosmetics
bones ground up for fertilizer.
The Norwegians have showed
ahead in Antarctic whaling trade,
with munster steel motor ships
with a wide sailing range Id
gunners and machinery which give
the whale no chance whatsoever.
The modern whaler is master OF
steam and a first-rate business
executive, alert for waste, dubbed
shots and unnecessary overhead.
In olden times, up indeed to the
middle of the last century, there
was an epic of adventure in whale
hunting-the thrill of peril. the
refinement of toll and hardship
From a small, open boat he}
harpooned their whale and maybe
had to fight him for their very
lives. This kept on for days until
the rampaging whale was ex'
hausted. Up in New England are
villages which once thrilled with
life in the great days Of whaling
There. still, are the immaculate
white houses with the widows
walk" above the caves, where
women watched for the return OF
their men folk, and for many who
never returned. A great life that
got into mans blood. And once
in, never got out.

the municipal palace and thO
monument that commentaries
the glories of the ancient city.
Walking around the streets OF
Burgos, one discovers remains Of
the old Notifications such as the
gate of San Martin and Che
lovely, thirteenth century San
Estaban gate.
Of the castle, where the wed.
ding of the Cid and Jimena took
place, there are but few ruins
left, but the road up to it is in
teresting because of the delight

INTERESTING SPOTS
All over the province there are
scattered picturesque and interest
ing places worthy of a visit.
There is the Monastery OF las
Huelgas, the old country palace OF
the kings of CASTLE transformed
by Alphonso VIII into an eccleSl'
astical center. The various parts
of the monastery and the church
display many beauties of Roman
and Gothic art, including the cloiS'
ter, the tower and the outer door
way where there are some mar.
velouS carved tombS of the knights
of the Order of Santiago.
Exquisitely beautiful, too, is the
Charterhouse of MirafloreS where
in one can read much of the an
cient history of old CASTLE. Then
there is the Roman monastery OF
Santa Domingo de Silos with one
of the most picturesque gardens
and cloisters we have yet seen.
In Burgos itself there are de-
lightful arcade5 facing each side
of the main square above which
tower the many spires Of its
churches and square towers.
Everywhere in the old city there
are reminders that it was the
home of Rodrigo de Vivar. the Cid
Campeador, the national hero
whose doughty deeds form tho
subject of the most ancient and
the most famous poem in Spanish
! literature.

ton. But having received the
advice, most of us fall right back
into the same old rut. For it
isn't advice we need. It's a new
set of vertebrae. And maybe a
funnybone.
Does it pay to, give sympathy
in the usual sense of coincidence?
Only in the small doses. Such
sympathy is a drug. It may be
wisely used to elevate the worst
pang of suffering, but only it
can relieve-it won't cure. Sooner
or later the sufferer must buck
up and face the situation-per
form an operation on his life or
cleanse it of its infection. Pro
longed sympathy won't help him
in this task. It will only weaken
him.
Believe in a man, but show
him that you feel he can make
good. Don't be sorry for him or
help him to be sorry for him
self.
There's another kind Of sym
pathy which really is spiritual
partnership. You can't give too
much of that.
Does it pay to give money?
WISE MAXIM
I don't know what your expert
ence has been in this respect. but
mine has been about SO per cent
BAD. I'm one Of those people who
like to give money. There's moth
ing honorable about that There's
really a selfish pleasure in it for
me. I'd like to imagine that I'm
doing people lots of good.
But I have come to realize, most
reluctantly, that I'm doing no such
thing. In the vast majority OF
cases the money does no good
whatever, and the needy one is
harmed more than helped by such
financial interference.
The thing that landed him in
his plight was not really lack OF
money. It was lazinesS or greedi'
ness, or egotiSm, or some other
form of human cuSSedness. anc
he'll never get out of his plight
until he wins the fight over the
thing that is defeating him. In
most cases money simply inter
feres with that fight.
After all, the good old maxim
held a lot of wisdom. Help a man
to help himself that's the only
kind Of help that counts.

Greatest Show on Earth
By John Snure, T.

one John Knight Munro
Barry, formerly connected with
the Income Tax Bureau. Mr.. Barry
contends that he was ousted from
his work some six years ago and
that the government should pay
him $20,40O in back salary and
$4,000 to reimburse him for
equities in properties he lost be-
cause of his lost position.
Those claims, however, are
small compared to his demand
for $4,000, 900 "fOr certain ideas
and information conveyed to
President Herbert Hoover and
Ogden L. Mills-said suggestions
and information resulting in the
greatest upswing Of business and
industry during the entire
Hoover Administration"
When he was before the court,
acting as his own attorney, Judge
Whaley demanded to know when
Mr.. Barry had conveyed his
"ideas" and was told that it was
early in September, 1929.
Judge Whaley leaned back in
his chair, saying:
"Ah. Mr.. Barry, it looks to mo
as If you are the cause of the
depressiOn!"
