Do you know that whisky could be sold rather openly again? A. W. 1915, ha learns: In the first pk ment would require exactly the same as was nec to attach it to our constitution. There'd have to be a two-thirds majority both houses of congress. Then there'd have to be agreement in both houses of the leg islature of at least 36 states. ; After these 74 legislative bodies voted to una end the constitution (decidedly an imaginary case), at least 36 state governors and the president would have to sign. Then the supreme court probably would decide that it’s unconstitutional to unamend the constitution, Lafferty points out that “the drys are mistaken in one thing. The 18th amendment does not prohibit every- thing under the*sun. It only prohibits the use of intox- jeating liquors for BEVERAGE purposes, 3 ; “Liquors not intoxicating may still be sold freely if permission shall be nted by a mere majority In con- gress, and congress may fix any reasonable alcoholic content above the present one-half of 1 per cent.” That’s generally understood. The Volstead act, which is merely the piece of legislation that interprets and en- forces the prohibition amendment, is subject to change. Congress might restore beer and wines with alcoholi content of 6 per cent or even higher, just as long as it classed such content legally as non-intoxicating. It prob- ably wouldn't go that high, but still it’s not impossible, particularly if there comes a reaction against prohibition. We Americans are not middle-of-the-road in anything. We run to extremes, one way or the other, The supreme court, of course, might check congress. afferty, who served in congress from 1911 to s been looking into this prohibition thing. He se, to knock out the prohibition amend- Lafferty believes that “congress, under the Volstead act, has prohibited things never intended to be prohib- ited the 18th amendment.” He makes the very interesting point that, with con- gressional permission, it would not be contrary to the pro- hibition amendment to SELL INTOXICATING LIQUORS FREELY FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES. There are interesting possibilities in this wet-dry fight. Apparently, with the necessary consent by congress, whisky could be sold openly again in drug stotes “for medicinal purpose: It might even not be necessary to have prescriptions.

Making History Safe What is a history? “A systematic written account of “events, usually connected with a philosophical explanation - » favorable mention of Britain. ‘of their causes,” says Webster. Theoretically, it is a com- plete record of the past, a guide to both achievments and mistakes, from which we can profit in the future. Now comes Commissioner of Accounts David Hirsch- oe of New York City to take issue with a score of nized American historians because of their inter- pretations of past events. Assigned by Mayor Hylan to make a study of school histories, Mr. Hirschfield has found after 18 months of study exactly what he an- nounced in December, 1921, that he would find. He set out to discover Brifish propaganda and he accomplish- ed his purpose. He would strike from American histories every Every reference to the "human weaknesses of the founding fathers would like- wise bé ruled out. In other words, the children and youth of the country should under no circumstances be permitted to learn that he have borrowed institutions and developed them to suit our purposes or that imperfections have been noted in our government establishment and occasionally corrected. Only a few days ago, Dr. J. J. Tigert, commissioner of education of the United States, publicly deplored the tendency of American school histories to give the im- - York, other over-zealous patri - cities. pression that we, of the United States were never in the wrong in disputes with other lands. What Commissioner Hirschfield would do in New its are attempting in other They want to make history so dull and drab and 80 deyoid of interesting color and explanatory inform- ation that it will cease to make young folks think. They ' would make history such an exact science that it can be taken like pink pills. And if they succeed, their steril- ized histories will do students just about as much good as the average sugar coated bread pill, and no more.
