That is what a lot of people think. They don’t believe in drinking liquor, but they think a dittle malt taken moderately does them good. What does science say about that? A very interesting experiment was tried in Germany by Prof. *Aschaffenburg. He took four skilled typesetters and subjected them to tests in their own office, setting type to which they were accustomed. All the men were in the habit of drinking beer on Sundays and generally a few glasses dur- ing the week days. They averaged eight to ten glasses on Sundays and four on week days. For several days before the experiments the men cut them all out. Then they were tested on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The test began at 5 in the afternoon. ch man was given identical copy on which he worked for 15 minutes, and then for an hour as rapidly as he could. The amount set was counted up in ems, the printing measurement, and a record kept, but the men did not know what the record was un- til the experiments were concluded. Later the men were subjected to the same tests after drinking the amount of beer to which they were accustomed. The experiment showed that in quantity of type set and in the number of mistakes made the men suffered even from the Outbursts of Everett True “SIC "IM; EHF SEE A CouPLE or S$ WwitHouT WORKING UP 4 FIGHT lA Married Man’s Troubles | SHOULD “THINK Nov Woulp SHAVE YOURSELP INSTEAD OF WAITING AROUND IN A BARBERSHOP — You WOULD SAVE | The Necklace of Fate— Stella and Gertie.

The experiment was repeated a number of times and worked with singular uniformity. THE MAYOR AND CHIEF LANG “e LTHO I thought he was indiscreet, | told him him | did not think he did anything wrong.” rhus is Mayor Gill quoted in reference to Chief Lang’s wine party-cabaret girl “hide-and-seek” party. The mayor overlooks the important point. He seems to be of the opinion that a chief of police ought not to be fired unless he has committed a crime punishable under the law. If the chief were guilty of crime, there would be no need for the mayor to fire him. The courts and jails would do that. It is in the case of “indiscretions,” as the mayor describes Lang’s antics, that the DUTY is placed on the mayor to exercise his right to remove a subordinate. An “indiscretion” on the part of a chief of police is an altogether different thing from an “indiscretion” of a private individual. In the latter case, the individual only is affected. But with a chief of police parading his “indiscretions,” he be- comes a public evil. It is just for such “indiscretions” as the chief of police has been guilty of that many plain patrol- ‘TOM, WHAT Is THE AW, THAT AUT OF A PARBER coT Mel?

Chief Lang himself has suspended and discharged officers who became involved in drink- ing parties. What's sauce for the gander fs sauce for the goose, The head of the police department ought not to enjoy any greater immunity than an ordinary policeman. In fact, he should be dealt with even more vigorously and decisively. It is a case of a square deal which The Star is askijng—the same course of treatment for a chief as. for a plain cop—AND MAYOR GILL IS GUILTY OF FAVORITISM if he persists in keep ing the kind of an “indiscreet’ chief that he now has. Gill is giving neither the city nor the police de- partment a square deal in keeping Louis M. Lang. EVERETT IS ON RIGHT TRACK Y A vote of more than three to one, Everett last Tuesday voted. to issue $600,000 bonds to purchase and operate its own water plant. There was a determined, organized effort to defeat mu- nicipal ownership in Everett, and the showir the knockers of city plants is almost pathetic. In Seattle it is almost unbelievable that any yin the United States should still remain at the mercy of private greed for its water supply.

Because of the shortage of men, the Council of Ministers has approved a plan to throw open the doors of certain state universities to women, and they are to be admitted to the law, scientific and medical schools, for the first time. Russian women are noted for their intellectual- ity. Given this equal opportunity with man, there will arise in Russia a n and irresistible force which will aid the Slav nation to win to the top- most heights of economic and political greatness, during the era of world peace and progress which must surely follow this war. ome recom.
