THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWS SPAPER (Established 1873) | LAW HOKUM Here’s what the bootleggers aré talking about: Ontario, Canadian province, has prohibition nearly as severe as on our side of the border. But it’s legal to manufacture liquor | for export in Ontario. The logical export market, of cours our country. If the Canadian hooch is exported by railroad or legiti-| mate steamship, it’s easy for American prohibition sleuths | to seize it at the port or railroad terminal ‘where it enters, the United States. The ideal arrangement for our bootleggers is to have the} liquor exported out of Canada by motor truck, which can be met after midnight on a lonesome road and rushed across | the line. | Following a few shootings in connection with this method, | the government, in Ontario made it illegal to transport | liquor over the public highways, except to nearest railroad station or ship dock. American bootleggers recently were overjoyed when a} brewery in Ontari 1 Appelate Court victory which | could be constr as giving it the right to transport } liquor over the highways by motor truck, for export. However, the executive branch of the Ontario govern- ment promptly telegraphed its prohibition enforcement officers on the Detroit River border to ignore the judgment and enforce the law as previously. The Ontario government’s stand is that the court judg- ment was rendered not upon the merits of the case, but upon a technicality. The average American lawyer, who thrives on technicali- ties, would be out of luck in Ontario or any other Canadian province. Their courts are primarily concerned with the evident meaning and intent of the law, not with jokers slip- ped in by blundering or crooked legislators—such as omis- sions of punctuation er words whose absence creates what we Americans call “loopholes.” There are cases on record in American court hi where the unintentional omission even of a comma contract has cost the defendants thousands of dollars. It is all very well to “enforce the law strictly,” but there can be such a thing as common sense—even in court—ad- ministering a law according to its evident intent and mean- ing instead of by crafty haggling over technicalities. | There’s an old saying that a Philadelphia lawyer can find | a loophole in any American law. Lawyers, who make the laws, take care of that. in DEATH ~ Nearly all of us have peculiar ideas about death. Najural considering its mystery. A rich woman died in New York. In her will she left these instructions: “When I die, get the doctors to cut my main artery to prevent the possibility of my coming to life after I am buried. Don’t have me buried too quickly. If I am where I cannot, stay in the house, let me be taken to an undertaker’s for a) few days until they are sure I am not alive. There is a white | albatross dress in a trunk at 45 Fifth avenue, which I would | like to have on when I am buried, but if it is too far away at the time or too much trouble, a nightgown will do as well.” | Ruby Joan, my lost rag-doll?” While cleaning a gun a prominent | vie star almost shot the best wife | he has had for some. censors. —= “ We have hing suit Why not divorce censors?

The reason Providence doesn’t send ; the lightning is because new leaders would quickly rise to. continue the poker game. The people’s salvation is in selecting the right rulers. They rarely do. POISON \ Much of the fatigue felt by city people at night is due to catbon monoxide, the poison gas generated by autos and which frequently kills a motorist who starts his car in the garage while the doors are closed. So says Dr. Yandell Hen- derson, Yale professor. To protect pedestrians, Henderson urges putting chim- neys on large trucks and buses, to throw the exhaust gas upward above the level of the walkers’ noses. Chief reason an outing in the country recuperates you so quickly, you’re breathing fresh air instead of city poison | fumes. i siamese i LUNGS \ Pittsburgh, the “smoky city,” has an extraordinarily low tuberculosis death rate. This led Dr. William P. Nolan to’ study the relation between smoke (carbon dust) and health | of-the lungs. The result is Dr. Nolan’s new method of com- ‘batting tuberculosis by inhaling pure carbon and calcium.

This was enough to enrage a saint. Henry argued that he had invari- ably signed those articles of associa- tion with the words, in parentheses, “No personal liability,” and he was genuinely amazed to learn. that this precaution had been useless, The driller he had sent up to Ar- kansas in charge of his rig one day came into the office in great agita- tion. The man’s story caused his employer's face to whiten. “Salted! I—don't believe it,” Nel- son seized his head in his hands. “Oh, my God!” he gasped.
