C,, WlD.;DAY,,AUGUST 30, 1922 THE APOTHEOSIS OF HYPOCI4ISY "The government goes right on ignoring the prohibition law on sea while making some ineffective efforts to enforce it on land," remarked August Busch, of Anheuser-Busch, Inc., when he. arrived last. week from Europe. Mr. Busch further stated that passengers on the George Wash ington discussed the buying of liquor from the government on board the ship and then inviting the government to arrest and prosecute them when they reached shore. It would certainly be a nice legal question as to whether the govern ment could use money from the United States Treasury to sell liquor on its ships att a profit and then prosecute a purchase for violation of the law. It is true the government is in an awkward position. The Shipping Board is spending thousands of: dollars to stimulate passenger traffic, but much of the money is wasted because a dry ship has a hard time to win trgvclers. The majority of the people of the United States may be dry but they don't travel the ocean enough to back up an American Merchant Marine -along lines of moral conduct. Official dignitaries who publicly espouse prohibition have their cellars, the private room at the public banquet is a recognized factor at all 'sue cessful dinners." Even the offices of some of our Congrcssmen are said to be storehouses for booze. Summed up, the country stands today the apotheosis of hypocrisy. The American Merchant Marine seems to rest in the balance, but hypocrisy will sink the ships quicker than any restriction. Let us have enforcement or repeal, one thing or the other. -- - - WORSE THAN THE WAR In the past eighteen months there have died in the United States more than twice as many Americans. as a result of automobile accidents, as were killed in the great war. Only 48,000 of our boys went west in the big conflict, while in the last-year and a half 91,000 Americans died as ai result of motor car accidents. The startling feature of these figures lies in a knowledge that the war is ended, while the motor car is with us to stay and to increase in use. Despite the. heavy toll it takes in iunan life nothing is going.to stop its progress. Consideration of the situationf brings its importance home to the coun try even more than to the city because nearly sevenly per cent of the automobiles manufactured in America are sold and used in towns of five thousand population and under and on the farms. This means that preventable deaths in the country as a result of au tomohile activities is proportionately great, a situation so serious that it cries aloud that something he done to halt this yearly naltional disaster. One of the great sources of automobile accidents is the grade cross ing. a problem in every small community. In many states the law prescribes that when grade crossings are eli minated the villages through which they pass must stand a good propor tion of the expense. This is a heavy burden on the taxpayers. On the other hand to order tie railroads generally to eliminate cross ings at grade. either by an elevation or by submerging of tracks would ap pear to be an unjust demand. 'TIhis matter of grade crossings is more than local. Indeed it is so so national in eharacter it might he well for Washington to assist more ma terially than it does in checking the country's most notorious death traps.

' Economical use of the skim milk for feeding calves, pigs, and chickens is another essential to success; as is the proper handling and conservation of the manure produced.
