By © . , Booze incthe New N THE paper you will find a story from Washingtoy telling of elaborate ar- rangements that have been perfected bes tween the United States government and the British government for lessening boot- legging over the Canadian border. You will find another Washington story tell- ing that Australia is planning to make our sailors feel at home by making liquor hard to get in Australian ports. Then there is a story from El! Paso, where they are seeking to punish Ame n citizens for telling other American citizens where they can get a drink, even tho the telling was done on the other side of the border. Locally, there is the usual amount of booze new It seems to be impossible to publish a newspaper without printing volumes on the subject of liquor. There doesn’t seem to be any saturation point. Quit printing it? How can you quit printing it when the government is devoting, apparently, two-thirds of its thinking to the subject, and when society seems to be doing the same? Sometimes one wishes for the so-called good old wet days, when the pages of the newspapers, at least, were dry! Localizing the Weather Germ MONG other things which Donald MacMillan hopes to discover in the northern territory he will explore this sum- mer is the source of United States weather. In attempting to track our weather to its lair, scientists have probed farther and farther into the North. It has now been fairly well established that our storms and fair weather have their beginnings in the unexplored district north of Alaska. Forecasting consists largely of detecting new disturbances in the atmosphere as they appear on the northern and western borders of the United States, learning their characteristics, and figuring out the paths they probably will follow by means of barometric conditions ahead of them. The United States weather bureau h found that the great majority of “lows —areas of subnormal barometric pressure —originate over the sea south of the Aleu- tian islands in the winter, and over the interior of Alaska during the summer. But conditions which cause these “low: to be built up there and to create “highs” farther east are unknown, and the answer to the problem lies hidden in the unknown ry between Alaska and the North ‘ole. The MacMillan party will make prelimi- Nary reports on temperatures, pressures, and wind conditions over this region. As soon as exploration has sufficiently ad- vanced, detailed observations will be made, and when these are completed there is every possibility that accurate and early forecasts of storms, of inestimable value to farmers and navigators, may be made. If land is discovered in the unexplored area, establishment of permanent weather observation stations, further facilitating Predictions, will be poss sible. A Bargain: ! EN. LINCOLN C. ANDREWS, of whom you'll hear more as national prohibition enforcer, is described as a na- tional Smedley Butler. This again ra the question whether or not Butler has been successful in his purification of Phil- adelphia. Whether or no, he has been a good in- vestment for the Quaker City. For his exploits have advertised the city in a man- ner to make a professional Californian or Floridian jealous. Answers to Your Questions ? ? Q In presiding at a meeting, wes Bt Pudliehea Dally toe & month Mars Has the Laugh HE worldewar was a total failure. It was “a war to end war,” and wars have been happening with due regularity ever since, It was to “make the world safe for democracy And reaction was never more rampant than it is today, This particularly true in Europe. Military cliques or dictatorships rule in Spain, Italy, Turkey, Hungary, Bulgaria, | Jugoslavia, Greece, Rumania and Russia. Great Britain has the most conservative government that she has had for a long time, and France, having swung from reac- tionary Poincare to liberal Herriot, is again bound back towards conservatism. The chief trouble with the world war as a war to end war was that it Balkanized all Europe. It definitely settled virtually {no problems at all, but created new ones which today cry to high heaven for janswer, Count Karolyi—the Hungarian ex-presi- dent whom our state department muzzled while in this country—warned his hearers in Canada, where fre h was restored }to him, that the menace of another grez jbonfire hangs over Europe. The Haps- | burgs and the Hohenzollerns, he s still plot for power, and reactionaries thruout the Old World are scheming for a return jof the ancient order. Hardly had he uttered the words than jeables from Berlin announced the candi- dacy of Field Marshal von Hindenburg, monarchist, for the presidency of Ger- many, If elected he will turn the republic into a camouflaged regency and hold it in trust for his master at Doorn. No, the world war settled nothing. And thus far all efforts by liberal governments to do something concrete to prevent an- other have come to naught. War parties are still pulling the wires behind the scenes when not actually in the open and half the nations of the Con- tinent are busy laying plans for remaking the map of Europe. 1s spee How Mars must be laughing up his sleeve! | 1, ua be | Be Careful OTORING weather is here. So is the season for grade crossing accidents. The average person is awed by such dis- asters as the recent Illinois storm, yet gives but scant attention to grade cross |ing dangers. Yet almost three times as many persons [were killed in grade crossing accidents in 1924 as were killed by the tornado, A to- | tal of 2,149 lost their lives. We can do nothing to prevent storms. | And what we do to prevent grade crossing accidents is all too little, largely because, | being scattered, it is difficult to center the |public mind on them. | Should We Spank? | ARE the passing of the old-fashioned hickory stick and modern criminal “waves” related?
