Prohibition Arrests NCLE SAM'S sleuths made arrests during the last fis This constitutes a very small fr: the bootleggers and drinkers. Real prohibition is a matter of educa tion as to alcohol’s health and economic effects, rather than of law enforcement The main problem is thirst, not liquor supply. 68,161 al year. ction of As to Resolutions OMES the day when folks form good resolutions for their personal conduct. It is a good custom, but it’ is quite gen- erally observable that, in a vast number of instances, the resolutions are not per isted in for long, and it is likely that this is due to the attempt to do too much, be too almighty good all at once, like stuff- ing the poor on Thanksgiving day and leaving it to the poor to stuff themselves the rest of the year. There is no citizen lacking in bad habits. If every one concentrated reform effor on just one or two of stich the sum total of reformation would certainly be great. We, on rare occasions, see sudden, com- plete reformations. This is, usually, due to some sort of shock, the effects of which are very apt to wear off. Lasting reform comes from concentration of thought and determination, rarely from 4 custom or the fixing of a date. The average man is not only a creature of habit, but he is also capable of just so much reform of him- self, and he is very likely to backslide if he attempts more than his capacity war- rants on one day. D FRED CLARK, superintendent of a California asylum for insane, says that he hasn’t a lunatic in his institution who can be stumped by the cross-word puzzle. It’s one whale of a record, Doctor, but what we want to know is whether they tackled the cross-word before or after you got them. oe It Sounds Reasonable Q.

Their service is free to the public and it goes, without the saying, that the public vill finally have to for it. How, is the question. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover opposes the suggestion of licensing listeners-in, deprecates the jazz stuff being broadcast and rather favors a tax on purch of the receiving sets. Maybe the radio will take somewhat the me line of the movies—a fund to pay - the talent and a commission to decide what shall be broadcast, Certain it is that the radio is becoming such a universal family institution that brains must be directed toward running it right Too, Too Much any backbone in William Jennings Bryan he'll now say something about pistols at 10 yards, or something equally as good. Denouncing fundamentalis Burbank declares that Bryan’s skull “visibly ap proaches the Neanderthal type,” and, if we remember aright, Mr. Neanderthal was the gent who held the high and honorable position of “missing link” until they found a fellow some 20,000,000 years older than he. To roast Mr. Bryan's fundamentalism is awful enough, but to give him the attri gosh! bs Rocks Ahead | Bean ae GENERAL NEW would boost the postal savings bank busi- ness, thru congressional authorization of a higher rate of interest and acceptance of the deposits of school children. It hath the appearance of “putting busi- ness in government,” Mr. New, and there are rocks ahead.
