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

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.

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. See Rule 12 of the Party.

County Chairman.

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.
