They ‘are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides 6f important issuce which are heing discussed in the press of the day. THE BETTER LAND : It is easy to tell that this is.a bone-dry country \by reading the report of the réVenue office that lthere are now only 122,447 firms or persons hav- ling the right to sell liquor. The department has \issued that number of permits thus far. Only 186,000,000 gallons \of spirits were distilled last 1 year and the mere trifle of 34,000,000 gallons of ‘whisky withdrawn from bonded warehouses, \ TRAFFIC Motor fire wagons have. displaced Lucy and Nora, the last two horses of the famous London Fire Brigade. : English newspapers recall that it is‘only a few years since mechanical vehiclés were held down to a speed of four miles an hour, by English law. And a man waving a red flag or lantern had. to walk along in front. : Another time, Londen tried to end shortage of cabs by an ordinance requiring that one cab must always be at each starting-stand. Result: the one cab anchored permanently, could not be hired. Probably we are just’as stupid now, in other ways. ‘ ° So NOISE | , Every organ of your body develops resisting, Commissions for investigation purposes—par- | 7 powers as you need them.

Complaint is. made that the carnival season is “too frivolous and impover- ishes the population which cannot re- frain from participating.” é » During: these carnivals the whole population of country and city parade the streets, dance, throw confetti, blow whistles and feast. It is necessary to purchase-tickets for the restaurants in advance, and all stores are closed for the four days. “It is impossible to keep aloof from the merriment of these carnivals,”/said a resjcent-of Cologne, where the mer-. riest of the merry carnivals once was held. “The,people dress up fantastic- ally and celebrate with utter disre- gard for strangers. A gloomy cunte- nance is the cue for a bombardment of cenfetti, of ribboned paper, until its wner laughs and joins the frolickers.” The complainants declare-this is no time for frivolity in Germany and that it would waste: money which will ‘be sorely needed. 7 A number of municipalities forbade the carnivals on their own accounts last year, but preparations for scores of celebrations this year prompted the appeal direct to the central gov- ernment.
