The Drys were admittedly dis- Pleased with this action by an or- ganization representing more than a million men who admittedly are, both because of themselves and because of their record of service, the flower of the nation’s manhood. If it did nothing else, the Legion's action helped to push prohibition to! the forefront as a major political is- sue and brought nearer by many paces the next great showdown on the subject. Editorial reaction to the Legion's declaration is varied, but nearly everyone who has tackled this diffi- cult subject agrees that it is impor- tant. ‘The Wets hail the action as a great victory and there is no denying that) the resolution passed by the veterans, lends aid and comfort to the Wet cause. The Drys see in it an action which is disappointing but far from con-; clusive. To that extent, it seems certain that both are right, for any- one whp believes that enlistment of any organization upon one side or: the other of this question will defi- nitely swing the balance, is grievous- jy mistaken. That a new crisis is approaching with regard to the prohibition ques- tion is made evident by the heat which the Legion’s action engen- dered. On the Dry side, the most, militant man to break into the news- papers was Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the, Methodist Episcopal church. The Associated Press quotes Dr. Wilson as saying that at Detroit “numbers of staggering drunks di3- graced the uniform and yelled for beer.” Asserting that his knowledge ‘was gained at first hand, Dr. Wilson said further: “I was in Detroit until midnight! Sunday night. There was drinking on the streets. The delegates were preparing for an orgy. Across the river in Canada, in a saloon, was headquarters with signs up showing it to be the rendezvous of the del- egates. Everywhere was general evi- dence, evidence that anyone could interpret, of unpatriotic disregard of the laws of the United States.” Answering this broadside came dames A. Reed, former senator from Missouri, a leading wet and a man known for his caustic tongue. He said: “Probably the fanatic, Dr. Wilson, is the only citizen of this country who! would utter a wholesale slander against the men who stood on the battlefields of France defending the flag of the United States.” Other dry leaders were more dip- Jomatic than Dr. Wilson in their re- marks, and it is probable that the) good doctor has been taken to task by his superiors ere now for being Somewhat too direct and too inclusive. ‘There is no one s0 naive as to be- lieve that there was no drinking at the American Leglon convention: The marvel would be if there wasn’t. But few will believe, also, that there was more drinking per capita when the American Legion met at Detroit (and Windsor) than wher any other American organization meets at Detroit (and Windsor). The manner in which the prohibition law 4s disregarded in cities which are en- tertaining conventions is common knowledge in America. Neither Dr. Wilson, the enthusias- tle dry, nor Senator Reed, the ener- getic wet, are important spokesnien. The proposition is so far reaching ‘and involves so many angles that no one man can be, regardless of his Position. ‘The only important speaking which ‘will be done on the prohibition ques- foe things have put more fuel cn, e Bismarck Tribune people at the ballot box, if and when 50 ing prosperity, morals, taxes, per- they choose to exercise their right to speak. But even when the people have spoken, nothing will have been set- tled. | If the Drys win, it is not to be ex- pected that those opposed to, prohibi- tion will be satisfied with the answer tor that prohibition will be any easier to enforce than it is now. If the Wets win, it is inconceivable that the Prohibitionists will take the decision as conclusive. They will immediately return to the battle with renewed vigor. Prohibition, it would seem, is going to be a permanent issue in this coun- try, or at least it will be an issue for many years to come. And the various arguments which may be presented by either side will have relatively little effect on the final outcome. Statements regard- Sonal freedom, saloons, bootlegging and what not will be sidelights only. The real issue is and will continue to be “Shall we have prohibition or shall we not.” Another Franklin Achievement Because of the nature of his work and the colorful times in which he lived, most Americans have little ap- preciation of the achievements and: genius of Benjamin Franklin, whom historians rank along with Washing- ton in assigning credit for making America a nation and who had more than a little to do with writing the Declaration of Independence and framing the Constitution. At various times it has been devel- oped that Franklin was America’s first real printer; that he was the country's first almanacker and that,! as a scientist and inventor he was second only to Edison—and there is room for doubt about the justice of that rating. All this in eddition to being the greatest diplomat the country has produced. But, now that fire-prevention week is just around the corner, those who dig after historical facts come to light with the assertion that Frank- lin organized the first fire depart- ment in America. This was in Phila- delphia in 1936, he having joined with four other men to organize the Union Fire Company in that year. There were 30 men in this mutual assistance company and each one equipped himself with six leather buckets for water and two linen bags for salvaging household goods. The company met eight times a year at a) dinner for which they paid three shillings. This is believed to be the first service club. Whenever a con- flagration started in a neighborhood, Union members in the vicinity put @ light in their front window and brother members so recognized the house which they were to protect. Later a metal “fire mark” was put on each Union house. The Unioa lasted 84 years and was the basis for fire fighting units long after Frank- lin died. Besides organizing fire fighting. Franklin also introduced many fire prevention laws for building, and public use. He advocated use of brick, stone and stucco; cleaning chimneys regularly; and building deep and fireproof hearths. In 1752 Franklin organized the first fire in- surance company, a mutual carricr| now doing business in Philadelphia. Those of us who interest ourselves in fire prevention during the week of October 9 will be following in the footsteps of one of the great geniuses of the nation—or perhaps it would be more accurate to say in the fout- steps of a genius who helped to bring the nation into being. ‘Another ‘Moratorium’ Wanted! GERMANY’S ULTIMATUM On Sept. 28, 1917, Dr. Richard von Kuhlmann, German secretary of for- eign affairs, addressed the main com- mittee of the Reichstag on the pope’s Proposals of peace, saying: “The German people and the Ger- man government, whose consciouse ness of their strength and internal security always made it easy for them to emphasize their willingness to conclude an honorable peace, have reason to welcome gratefully the ini- tiative of the Curia, which made it possible for them to set forth again BEGIN HERE TODAY Pretty NORMA KENT, 20-year- Fa 32 secretary, mi!

Few leaders in this or any other country contrib- uted more to world peace. He led the pre-war peace move- ment. He was reviled and his meet- ings were broken up by mobs when he tried to keep the United States out of the World war. But, like Ram- say MacDonald, the British pacifist, he lived to receive even wider ac- claim later from a war-experienced and war-weary world. Now he is dead at 80, in the shad- ow of his beloved Stanford Univer- sity over which he presided so bril- Mantly and so long. It is given to few men to achieve international eminence in so many fields. He ranked with the great not only as a peace leader but as an edu- cator and a scientist. As a pioneer in higher education he was twenty years ahead of his time. But to remember Dr. Jordan just as an intellectual leader would miss somewhat of the charm of his life. He was loved by thousands of stu- dents and followers as a personal friend. With those riches of the spirit he lived and died a happy man. NEARLY DID IT Denver, Colo., Sept. 28.—Leaving a note in his room to the effect that he was going to commit suicide, a Den- ver man walked off to a nearby va- cant lot, pushed a revolver against his head and pulled the trigger. Police, rushing to find him, saw his body in. the lot. When they arrived he sat up suddenly. He had fainted when the revolver he held against his head clicked on an empty chamber. DEDICATE CROSS Paris, Sept. 28.—High up on Mont Moncenisio near Susa on the French- Italian border a large Cross of Christ hhas been dedicated to serve as a mon- yment to Christianity. It is 30 feet high, and presents as inspiring a sight ‘as the famed Christ of the Andes Monument in South America.

It was an oddly engraved band set with jade. Chris always wore the ring. She had worn it ever since Norma had known her, When she looked up all Chris ‘aid was, “Well—?” “He—he didn’t say anything.” pal Norma went on hurriedly. “Oh, it was terrible that first night when 1 knew he recognized me! 1 tried to tell Mark—I’d tried to tell him before but he wouldn't let me! Mark knows him, Chris. He and Stone are some sort of cousins. Mark didn’t guess that I'd ever seen him before though!” i The other girl straightened. Her eyes, meeting Norma’s quite levelly, were & mask. “Listen,” Chris said, “you've| done nothing to be ashamed of. If 1 were you I'd save my worrying until I had something to worry about. Something real! Don’t lose your head, Norma. Tell me what you expect to do during the next four weeks?” “I haven't thought it all out, I'll have to get a job somewhere I sup pose, The money I have won't last. Anyhow I'd rather be doing some- thing—” Again Chris was absorbed in the * ring. “I understand why you ran away last night,” she said slowly, “but it might have been better if you'd stayed.” “Oh, L couldn't! Do you think Td accept anything from. people when I know they hate me? I just couldn't do it, Chris. Mark wouldn't want me to stay there if he knew. I made up my mind before he left. that I wouldn't stay in that house. I couldn't tell him because he was counting on the trip so. If he'd known how I felt about it he wouldn't have gone. I wasn’t will: ing to stand in Mark's way!” “But don’t you see, dear, running away like this is going to make trouble’ Norma’s chin lifted but her lips trembled. “I thought you'd be will- their national policy in a clear, un- ambiguous manner.

New York, Sept. 28—The Astor theater, despite its outward display of flamboyant movie banners and its eye-catching streamers of gaudy light, wears also a slight touch of mourning for its founder, Lincoln ‘Wagenhals, who died a few days ago. ‘The crowds who pass through its doors will see upon the screen no stranger tale than that of the kid from the small Ohio town who put up this showhouse on Broadway. it is another of those thousand-and- one-nights legends of Bagdad-on-|1 17. the-Subway. For here was fame and fortune that started literally at the point of a gun! ‘ And this is the way the story goes: Once upon a time a discouraged young man from Lancaster, O., sat over his coffee and sinkers wonder- ing if this could be the fair rewards of the theater. At 18, an amateur actor from his home town high school, he had descended upon Co- lumbus, O., and for five years held a job in a stock company. Then he had headed for Broadway. And here he was going out ahead of road shows that had a habit of “going bust” in the middle of nowhere and leaving a young gent to get back as best he Id. Feeling like telling his troubles toj someone, he began talking to another youth occupying an adjacent stool. The conversation bounced back to the old home, as such talks do in) New York— “What, you’re from Ohio, too— swell! . . . Funny you should come from there. ... Yep, and your dad’s @ doctor, too... . That sure beats everything. . . . And you passed up @ chance to study medicine for the stage... . Sure is funny, meeting like this... .

I’m just trying to think what's the best thing to do, that’s all.” “I won't go back to Mark’s father’s house. I tell you I won't!” CcE-= sighed. “Well,” she said, “that settles that! As I said, I don’t blame you much. If you won't go back I think you'd better go to work. Why didn’t you come to my place last night instead of Going to that rooming place?” “You know you've no room now, Dorothy’s with you.” “Always have room. We can double up.” “No. I don't want you to do that. You see things are different now, Chris. I've got to stand on my own feet. It helps to tell you about things, to talk them over and feel there's one person who understands, Oh, I don’t know what I'd do with- out you! But I'm not going to be one more to impose on your gen- erosity—" “Silly! Why, that’s ridiculous!” “Maybe, Anyway, that’s how I feel about it. This place I've moved to is all right. I'll want to see you often, Chris, but I've paid the Tent for a week and I think I'll stay there.” “Suit yourself. I suppose you'll come to dinner some time?” “Love to. Tell me about Dorothy. What's she like?” “Ob, Dorothy's all right. We don’t ind the way you and I did ‘3 0. k. as @ roommate. Say—" Chris’ dark eyes flashed with a sudden inspiration. “Why didn’t I think of it? Why didn’t I think—!” “Think of what? What are you talking about?” “A Job for you! Don’t know what it pays but it would be a lot better than nothing. Dorothy was telling me about it last night. A girl she knows who works for a literary agent on the same floor we're on is going to quit Saturday. Getting married. I don’t even remember the girl’s name, though I met her once. Lucille something-br-other. She was going to tell her boss about it today. It’s ten to one they haven't hired anyone else yet.” “What's @ Iterary agent?

Dorothy says he’s one of the best in the city.” “Do you think he'd bire me?” “Why not? You're a good secre- tary. Here—I tell you what I'll do! I'll get Dorothy to go in and see this girl in the morning and if nobody’s taken the job I'll call you to come right down. How’s that?” “Fine. Say, that'll be great, Chris! 1 couldn't very well go to Brooks and Welliver and ask for a recommendation when I left them the way I did—” “We'll get Lucille to recommend you personally, She'd do that for Dorothy, I'm sure.” Ten minutes later they left the restaurant.

The first flash of the electric light was startling. Everything looked strange and dif- ferent. Shabby in the glow of yel- low lamp light. She closed the door behind her and took off her hat. Across the room, tacked to the faded wallpaper, Norma saw a cal- endar. She had not noticed it earlier in the day. The calendar bore the name of a coal company printed in large lettering and be- neath this the head of a flirtatious young woman dressed in red. The calendar had evidently been added LAURA LOU BROOKMAN : = uthor of to the room as a decoration. No one had bothered to remove the November sheet from the pad.' Swiftly Norma crossed the room and tore off the antedated leaf, Yesterday had been the second of December. She counted down four weeks. That brought her to the 30th, Four weeks—but it might be five! Painstakingly Norma drew a cirele about the numeral 30. It oc- curred to her for the first time that Mark would be away on Christmas. For a long time she sat and stared at the calendar. Then she arose, drew a large cross over the day that had just ended. There would be 27 more crésses to draw before she could hope to see Mark again. Twenty-seven more crosses! From childhood and Sunday school Norma remembered a hymn about crosses, No, she told heraelf vehemently, it was not sacrilegious to think of suc! things! Every day away from Mark, every 24 hours Tepresented by a cross upon her calendar, was a literal cross to be borne on her shoulders. Oh, what good could telling her- self to be brave do? What good could anything do? Norma was 20 years old. She was very much in love, desperately un- happy and lonesome. So, as might have beén expected of any young girl in a similar situation, she cried herself to sleep. Morning when it came was gray and dreary. A sunless December oy threatening snow which did not At 9:45 she was summoned to the telephone. Chris’ voice at the other end of the wire said brightly, “Everything’s arranged. You're to come down as soon as you can and Dorothy’ll take you to Mr. Stuart's office. How soon can you make it?” “Halt an hour, I guess. I'll start right away.” “Then step on it! The job's as good as yours now!” Chris was a dear. For her sake Norma tried to seem more enthus!- astic than she felt riding downtown on the street car, later meeting thé unknown Dorothy and being led by her to the unknown Frederick Stu- art’s office. Half-way down the corridor Doro- thy stopped. “Wait a minute!” she said abruptly. “You're not feel- ing so high this morning, are you? Need a little rouge. Here—let’s seo what we can do—” They went into the wash room. From her own vanity case Dorothy produced rouge and a pinkish pad with which to apply it. Five min- utes of artful ministrations and REMOVAL By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American 4 Medical Agociation Many years have passed since the medical profession first recognized the importance of removal of infected tonsils because of their relationship to disease. Tonsils are sometimes re- moved simply because they are so greatly enlarged as to interfere with swallowing and breathing. Between this simple enlargement and the se- vere states of infection in which the tonsils are filled with pus, there is a wide variety of possibilities. Much investigation has been done to prove that the infection in the tonsils may be carried by the blood to other parts of the body, and there set up secondary infections which threaten life. There are well-estab- lished cases in which infection of the tonsils was followed by infection of the heart, of the kidneys, and even of the peritoneum, resulting finally in fatal peritonitis. There is also considerable evidence to indicate the relationship of infected tonsils to colds, to infected ears, to fatigue, to nervousness and rheumatic symp- If it could be definitely proved that removal of the tonsils early in life would entirely prevent or greatly di- minish these diseases, routine re- moval of the tonsils would be advised by all physicians. Unfortunately ab- Daily Health Service OF TONSILS Infected Tonsils Should Be Removed But Science Is Unable to Make Any General Decision solute proof of this fact cannot bt | provided. There are many other possibilitie: for the production of colds, of nery- ousness and of fatigue besides infec- tion in the tonsils. ore, the tonsils are not the only glandular Structures involved in the upper re- spiratory tract. The adenoids, which lle in the postnasal cavity, may also be seriously infected and transmit infection to other parts of the body. Hence the combination “tonsils and adenoids” is just as well-known as the combination of ham and eggs and Amos and Andy. Investigators in the University of Cincinnati have recently made a controlled study of the relationship of removal of tonsils and adenoids to various diseases. They are convinced that the removal of these structures early in life decrease greatly the in- cidence of colds, nasal obstruction and sore throats. On the other hand, they feel that infection of the sinus, headaches and Pains were more frequent after tonsillectomy than before, Anyone who understands the diffi- culty of evaluating scientific evi- dence will realize that much more observation must be had before the final decision can be made in this case. At present there is plenty of evidence to warrant the prompt re- moval of tonsils that are infected or that are seriously enlarged. ing up to $10,000,000 and became the wealthiest theatrical business in the world, ee % Both went out as company man- CLOSE ARENA AGENCY Authority was granted by the state railroad commission to the Northera Pacific Railway company to close its agency at Arena, in Burleigh county, agers for road shows, and met again in an Ohio tank town.

Wagenhals would take a show on tour—as com- pany manager. Once more the scene was Ohio and the place not far from Columbus. Wagenhals was going over the pay- roll and the gate receipts. He was interrupted by a brusque command: A ‘MAD MARRIAGE” Norma emerged, the color in her cheeks notably brightening her ap- Dearance, Ts lettering on the frosted glass before them read, “Frederick J. Stuart, Author’s Representative.” Dorothy opened the door and they entered. A slim girl, taller than Norma, with ash blond hair, arose to meet them, “Hello,” she smiled at Doro- thy. “Is this Miss Travers?” “Yes, And this is Miss Fenway, Miss Travers. She's come to see about the job.” “Of course. Mr. Stuart’s in now. Shall I ask him if he can see you? I know it will be all right.” Norma said she would like the interview at once. The slim girl disappeared. She returned and with a nod invited Norma to enter her employer's office. } Norma passed through the door marked “private.” The man at the ~~ looked up. “Miss Travers?” he as “Yes, sir. I understand you need ® secretary and I’ve come to apply for the position.” Stuart straightened back. He was a dark man and he wore large, dark-rimmed spectacles. The hair over his temples was rather thin. He looked, Norma thought, exactly like any businessman and this was something of a surprise. Dimly she had envisaged a literary agent as a sort of poetic creature with wavy hair, Windsor tie and affected, slouching garments, Frederick J. Stuart looked essentially practical. “Sit down, Miss Travers,” he said. “Miss Fenway tells me you've had considerable experience. Take dic- j tation, I suppose?” “Yes, sir, Most of my experience has been in a law office, I’ve had Practice taking letters in shorthand and also on the dictaphone.” “I see, Well, let's have a try at it, Ask Miss Fenway for a note- book—” | Norma went for the notebook. For half an hour she took dicta- tion at high speed and afterward transcribed the notes. Her fingers seemed clumsy as she hit the type- writer keys but her shorthand was accurate. It took longer to write the letters than {t should have but when finished they were perfect. Stuart studied the letters care- fully, He chewed the end of a cigar that was not Mghted. Present- ly he broke the silence. “Report for work Monday morn- ing, please, Miss Travers, Nine o'clock.” Norma hesitated. “About the salary—" she began. “Yes, yes. Of course.

The father feared blood poisoning if the bullet were removed. “Link” Wagen- hals went through life with this “keepsake,” as he called it. A few weeks later he was back in Binghamton, calling cheerily to his partner: “Well, it’s the big town now, old kid! I was carrying acci- dent insurance, and when those stick-up boys shot me, I got $5,000.” And that’s how the Astor came to be built. With the $5,000 he pro- moted the new theater and then came such successes as “Paid in Full” and “Seven Days” and “The Bat.” The two kids from Ohio retired a few years ago on ten millions.
