(Official City, State and County Newspaper) | Foreign Representatives | SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER i (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON | Wet and Dry Fanatics One of the most significant trends| words and wor of the times, when considering the ever-present question of prohibition, is the aggressive attitude suddenly adopted by some organizations op- posed to prohibition, notable among them being “The Crusaders,” a group which is urging “take a recess from party affiliation and settle it in ‘32.” Just what party it would have the voter leave and which it would have him support is not clear and can not be until after the party conventions in June. Unless the Democrats or Republicans take a definite stand he may have no choice on the question even then. Another item of interest in pub- licity sent out by “The Crusaders” is ‘one which emphasizes the difficulty which prohibition will cause us for many years, regardless of whether or mot it is repealed. After publishing the recent congress vote on the Beck- Linthicum resolution, the Crusaders say: “Make a careful note of the congressmen from your state wis: voted against the measure. It is our purpose to defeat them for reelec- tion this fall. They have placed themselves on record as refusing to give you and other American citi- zens an opportunity to vote on pro- hibition.” Which would indicate that the forces of broad-minded tolerance are) to have a new problem soon in the form of persons fanatically opposed to prohibition. who usually contend that they favor tolerance, to tar themselves with the, same stick which they accuse the! Prohibitionists of using. These accusations against the pro-| hhibitionists in the past have not been without merit. At times they have fgnored all other qualifications of public officials and have supported or opposed candidates solely on the question of whether they voted wet It ill becomes men/ or dry. | In the hey-day of the Anti-Saloon; Geague it was an effective though unjustified method of obtaining re- sults, But now that the Anti-Saloon League no longer stirs the old en- thusiasm and support, it ill becomes the wet organizations to take over the role of political persecutors, It may prove effective in many cases but it is not in keeping with the spirit of America, We already have hhad too much fanaticism and un- reason on the liquor question. In the past, it must regretfully be admit- ted, it largely came from persons who were making what they believed to ‘be an honest and intelligent effort to improve conditions. To have it come now from the other side, which for 13 years has been pleading for! tolerance, is disconcerting. | Are we to have a situation in which! ‘the sole qualification for a congress- man is to be that he vote wet or dry? Are there no other duties imposed upon a congressman than to repre- sent the views of individuals on the) liquor question? Are public officials who have firm opinions upon the subject to be penalized and their good qualities ignored? These are questions which the Propaganda by “The Crusaders” pre- sent. The public should beware of ‘unreasoning opinion wherever it may be found. The forces secking repeal of the prohibition law should avoid it as » matter of policy.

Danger in Tires It has been pretty definitely estab- lished that the rear right tire is the \first to wear out, the rear left next, |last of all. most general to shift the worn out, tear tires to the front wheels with! the idea of evening up the wear. This, however, is dangerous. Whe! |a worn tire blows out on a rear wheel while the car is traveling at a hig! rate of speed, the driver still has, enough control of the front wheels! to guide the car safely out of a dan- gerous skid. When, however, a front tire lets go, and the car is moving fast, there is almost nothing the driver can do, The steering is thrown out of his con- trol, the car is forced into a seriou: | skid and there is great possibility of! injuries to all in the car. Rather leave a worn out tire on a jrear wheel, even though it will wear down so much faster, than risk the! dangers that go with changing it to the front. For greater safety, how- ever, a tire that shows the first mark of a tread worn down to the fabric should be taken off and used only as @ spare. Even as a spare, it should be in use only long cnough to get a good! replacement. Keeping shoes shined is expensive, but at least you needn't check them when you go into lunch. i One reason why success goes to the head is because nature doesn't like a vacuum.

The Farmers Like iar elt (Duluth Herald) Two interesting questions were an- swered in North Dakota's primary Tuesday. One was whether an East- ern aristocrat like Franklin Roose- velt of New York has anything that! appeals to an unusually politically- | minded agricultural state, and the other was whether the state capital was to be moved just because an- other town wanted it. i The vote shows that Governor Roosevelt. was powerful enough to beat even the uncouth Covernor Murray of Oklahoma, who makes a! specialty of everything that might please the discontented farmer. There is an interesting study in psychology here that transcends thé New York governor’s record as 9 liberal, because Governor Murray is algo a liberal and always has been.

Known By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN re Journal of bo a One we the large avis of the British Medical Association recently assembled to pay special attention to the danger of motoring. Motoring in Britain is not what it is in this coun- try. Since cars are taxed by horse- power, they are not built to go as fast as they do in this country. Furthermore, it is the custom in England to drive on the wrong side of the street, that is, wrong so far as we are concerned. The introduction of new machines brings new hazards to human life. The motor car has brought hazards so serious that it is beginning to be placed among the leading causes of death. In opening consideration of this subject, Dr. Zachary Cope said that most of the minor mischiefs of motoring were closely related to med- bh and the major mischiefs to Without doubt, the noise and vibra- tion of motor cars is not a health- ful factor in human life. The constant drumming in the hu- man ear means constant stimuli to ‘sensitive organ. Much attention has been given to the possibility of poisoning from mo- tor exhaust gas both to those in the car and to those on the street. Long exposure to low concentrations of car- bon monoxide in motor exhaust gas Produces dizziness, headache, lassi- tude and nausea. One British doctor has described the common occurrence in women of what is called “shopping” headache, | which Dr. Cope believes is probably due to the toxic effects of carbon monoxide derived from polluted air which in sultry summer weather is kept close to the ground. | Rep, Gill All sorts of suggestions have been developed for getting rid of the men- ace of ema : gas, varying .from a special exhaust i species gan high in the ait to ape cial devises for adequately ventilating cars and busses. - In narrow streets bordered by ex- tremely high buildings, the concen- tration of monoxide gas at the street level becomes exceedingly great. ° 13 ON HONOR ROLL New Leipzig, N.

Haugen of lowa was congratulated by Speaker Garner (center) and Rep.

Here in this hateful room she stood waiting for them to smug-| gle her away as though she were a criminal. She knew that Symes pitied her and she did not want pity. The doetors had been sur- prised at her presence, had re- garded her, she felt, with con- tempt. She did not want that, either. When Fergus came in to pack the newly initialed bags that she would never use Ellen wanted to cry out that she would leave her clothes here. She wished never to see the pretty frock again. She wanted to explain to the silent, impersonal servant why she was here—what had happened. But that she could not do. She was sworn to silence and to deceit. Symes had warned her to a nothing, How Ellen hated it all! Fergus glanced at her from time to time as he packed her clothes. It did not matter what he was thinking, Ellen told herself.

You're being kind. You're saving Steven’s honor when he can’t save it himself. “But you don’t understand,” Ellen persisted in a low voice. “I’m not being unselfish—I’m not thinking really of Steven. I'm thinking of myself and my own reputation. That’s why I wanted to run away, the real reason. That's why it’s wrong. It’s not too late to go back! I'll make everyone believe it was I, not Steven, who was to blame—” “We'll do nothing of the kind,” the lawyer interrupted flatly. “You've said you don’t want the money which would be the only reason for such a move. It’s right for you to think of your reputa- tion, Reputation is a very pre clous thing to every young girl. Steven wouldn't want you to toss it away to become a martyr.
