Prohibition Has Made Good On a recent Monday Judge Gemmil eat on the bench of the old Larrison a street police court in Chicago. It was * his first appearance there since prohibition went into effect. Naturally he waa interested to note whether the effect of prohibition was observable in this catch-all for offenders. The first thing that impressed him was that he sat alone. In former days two judges had been necessary to dispose of Monday's business-^-the accumulation from Saturday aijd Sunday. But, by noon, Judge Gemmil, single-handed, had cleaned up the docket and was lunching with friends at a loop club. The second thing that impressed him was that, instead of from 350 to 4Oft naana ??AVn OAA ?w ?MWV M| IT WAV 1VO0 VI1CII1 } and the third thing, that, instead of from 50 to 200 cases directly traceable to intoxication, there were but 22. Among the companions of the judge at lunch was a business man, the head of a Chicago industry said to be the third largest of its kind in the world. He said: "I am convinced from what I have seen that prohibition is the best thing that has ever happened in the United States. It is as effective as any law on the statute books. We will never repeal it." # Dr. Woods Hutchinson contributes an article in the July issue of Hearst's International. The auspices of the publication do not suggest dry prejudice. He entitles it "Prohibition Has Made Good," and proves his case with statistics gathered from many sources. The following paragraph is worth thinking over: "The net result, even after allowing for all the attempted consumption of home-brew high explosives, is that less than a third as many tons of good, wholesome, nutritious grains, fruits and roots are being turned into alcohol as formerly. As only about one-fourth of the total food value, or fuel energy of the barley, corn, apples, grapes, etc., distilled, is recovered in the form of alcohol, this means that thousands of tons of nourishing ^ bread and cereals and appetizing and refreshing fruits are placed upon the markets and and in the grocers' windows for use upon our tables without extra charge . . . The nation has gained four times as much food value as it has lost, by wiping out the alcohol industry." Clip this editorial and show it to your anti-prohibition friends. The trouble with many of them is that they don't know the facts.?Louisville (Ky.) Herald. Methods to Lift Business Depression Tokio, July* 20.?Mr. Kentaro Aral, the new minister of agriculture and commerce to whom the people of Japan are looking to devise measures for lifting the business depression, in an / interview pointed out that the government could do little unless it acted by refusing to pay the high prices now naked by the retailers. "In order to develop industry and foreign trade," he said, "prices of commodities must be reduced." "If the cost of production of raw materials is high, industry will not develop properly and the prices of manufactured articles will become high, which in turn will cause a depression in trade." The disputes between tenants farmers and landlords which increased four-fold last year, and the shift of the population from the land to the cities were among reasons given by Mr. Arai for the depression and for pessimism regarding th^ future of agriculture. In Korea he pointed out the situation is even more serious. One Spark The weather was hot and dry. No rain for a month. The East wind moaned through the trees. Pine needles snapped underfoot. July in the forest. The crash of falling trees. The ring of axes. The s-w-i-s-h of saws. Logs, lags everywhere. Dry tops, branches and slashing. And amidst all these a sufflng donkey engine. A glowing spark from the stack. A wisp of smoke. The hiss of burning pine. Crackling flames sweeping onward, skyward. A living wall of vivid fire. Black death and destruction. une nine spark?and in its wake 20,000 acres of fire-swept land; 15r 000,000 feet of burned timber; four logging camps, 15 donkey engines, one locomotime, 35 flat cars, 20 houses, and three automobiles in ashes, and $90,000 worth of property gone up in smoke. It all happened this summer in the state of Washington. It could happen any summer in any forest. Present forest fires?it pays. # - ""~ Take @>S for the liver Beware et imitation*.

Speed Cops After Airmen Washington, July 21 (By the Asso ciated Press).?How're you going t catch a law-breaking airman a thou sand feet up in the air when yoi haven't a plane, balloon, or even i stepladder to get him with? That' the question agitating the District o Columbia police today on the eve o the going into effect of Washington': newest and most stringent traffic reg ulatioo. Hereafter police will be expected h see that no flighty human flier skim: lower than the fixed safety limit; tha none of them attempt any fancy fly ing; and?worst of all?that ever] flier over Washington roofs has a li cense. It's the last section of the new rub that bothers the cops most, for there': not a single plane owned by the en tire police force with which to 8to] the reckless in mid-air to gruffly d* mand a sight of their permits; am what's more, say police officers, no on< on the force sees any possibility o these ever being one. Nevertheless, there's the law, am the coppers are scratching their head: to find a way out. The air traffic rule is the direct out come of the act of a commercial flie who flew so low over the assemblag* at the dedication of the Lincoln Me morial, last Decoration Day, that hi drowned out President Harding's voic during his address. Public and officia denunciation quickly aroused congres to the promulgation of the regulat-ioi and stiff fines now await the unthink ing flier. While the order was issued a montl ago, the penalties do not go into ef feet until midnight tonight. It i: provided that no flier shall descent lower than 3,000 feet within the D. C boundaries, unless landing, taking off or en route to another point; th it al persons.except United States agents such as army, navy, marine corps ant mail fliers, must be duly licensed pi lots; that j\o trick Pying shall be at tempted under any circumstances; ant that aviators shall land only at desig nated fields. Qualified pilots will be granted fre< licenses by the district commissioner: and licenses issued by any lawfull: created board of any state or by am branch.of the federal government wil be accepted in qualification. However pilots passing over the District with out descending into the safety zcn< will not be expected to have a license Police officials do not expect ai traffic to become a very great prob lem for some time yet, so they wil rely upon the integrity of pilots t< keep within the law. If any of then try to pull the v/ool over police eyes bj fleeing after they break the luw, eagli eyes will mark their descent an< they'll be nabbed anyway. At least one such recalcitrant flie who made a nuisance of himself, a: well' as a possible danger, by flyinj low over a crowded ball park am throwjng out advertising "fliers," ha already fallen into police clutches, of fleers said. When he landed a coppe was awaiting him with a warrant fo breaking the law in regard to clutter ing public places with paper. A Million New Cars Considerably more than a millio new automobiles were licensed in th United States last year. No wonde we see shoals of new cars on th streets every day. The serious problem, in connectioi with the operation of automobiles, i chance taking at railroad grade cross ings. In spite of the frightful mis haps reported each day, there is only i slight checking of the evil. The onl; known remedy is to exerlastingl; keep on urging drivers to observe th' following precautions: When you drive near railroad track that are to be crossed think of train of cars. Right there, on the tracks, i the only place you will find any. With such thoughts in your mint you will be prepared for any emer gency. Most times, there will be n train near enough to hinder you, bu don't trust to luck. *Look and liste every time. If you trust to luck, you are no giving yourself and your passengers fair deal. A professional gambler wil bet almost anything, but he neve wagers his life. *He might lose a lo of money once and then recoup hi losses in another venture. But ever one of us know that when he loses hi life he is going to stay dead. That man who was killed at a cross ing yesterday, had no desire to di< There was no end of things to mak life worth while. The man simpl followed in the steps of thousands wh mOTe the mistake of yielding to quick impulse of trying to beat a trai over a crossing.

LAST WARNING I TO VOTERS u Enroll by next Tuesday, the 25th, or you cannot vote. ^ A telegram from the state chairman ^ says a "very light enrollment throughj out the state. Urge necessity for pub. licity and effort on part of enrollment committees." This applies to our county. This is my last warning; the ^ books must positively close next Tuesday. You have but four more days ^ now. We have now done all we know to get you to qualify to vote in the primary. You can not- do so unless f you enroll by the 25th. If you still neglect to do so then you can blame r.o one but yourself when you will not be allowed to vote. Enrolling is very simple. All that is required, If you are entitled to vote ? otherwise, is to go in person and perj sonally write your full name, correct age, occupation and address on the ^ book. You do not need a registration certificate to enroll und vote in the j primary. But, you do have to properly enroll. Prior enrollments?for the city primary for instance?do not count in the approaching primary. " Every one must enroll for this primary?that is, since the books were open last month. I am informed that in some few Q cases a man enrolls his wife's name, j That will not do. Each person must personally enroll. Then I am told that some few have omitted to write their HP*P- nr ntl/lrpea nr nnnnn?fTV*#.# ir, not a compliance with the requirements, and such omission will not permit the party to vote. Any one who " has thus failed to properly enroll go ^ back to your book an.I correct the error at once, and thus qualify yourself. Erlrollmen committees, please do j your best to get all to enroll properly. The books must close next Tuesday, j and within three days thereafter the sacretaries must return the books to me.

Manufacturing plant REP Denatured Alcohol For Bootlegging Alcohol denatured in accordance with special formulas authorized by the government has been withdrawn j by the barrel for ostensibly legitimate: manufacturing purposes and turned' over to "bootleggers" by the thousands of barrels for the manufacture of whiskey, gin and practically al', kinds of intoxicating liquor. The re-| suit is that nobody knows today when he is buying liquor for medicinal or1 beverage purposes; whether he is re-! reiving denatured alcohol disguised by! the addition of flavoring extracts and other treatment. Cases of blindness and even deaths in a short time are becoming common, us a result of a large and increasing manufacture, sale and! use of denatured alcohol for beverage purposes. In justice to the Prohibition Unit it should be said that the administra tive officers are employing every resource at their command to prevent the diversion of denatured alcohol to beverage purposes. They have issued' special instructions to internal rev-! inuc collectors and agents to inspect j the premises of every applicant for a permit to withdraw and use specially denatured alcohol, to investigate his character and his business history, and to watch shipments of specially denatured alcohol and see that they reach the proper person and are used only for the manufacture of medicinal,; toilet and other preparations. Notwithstanding all this, the American] people are buying and consuming li quor in large quantities and comparatively little of it is pure or free from poisonous or <1< leeterious ingredients. ?Editorial, National Druggist.
