April 22. — (United Press.) —From Westerville the cradle of the so-called prohibition movement. comes an explanation of the difficulties encountered in enforcement of the Volstead Act. Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington. general secretary of the World League Against Alcoholism, thinks that ‘it is not a stnutige or new thing that the federal government is having difficulties with enforcement of the federal prohibition enactments.” To explain. Dr. Cherrington cites the adoption by the citizens of Maine of their first constitutional prohibition amendment which went into effect in 1858. and tracing the history of Maine’s law enforcement problems, he asserts that the problems and difficulties encountered in enforcing the laws there are also in Kansas were similarly met with by the government. "In fact,” he continued, "the first great federal enforcement problem ame in what was known as the ‘Whiskey Rebellion’ arising from the whisky trade’s refusal to submit to federal taxation and their questioning of the right of control by the national government. This ‘Whisky Rebellion' was suppressed by the federal government whep it (the government) was only in swaddling clothes.” Dr. Cherrington. continuing his traceries of government enforcement, points to the next great problem of the government —the enforcement of the laws against piracy. ‘‘The history of that effort to curb the ruthless tactics of these Captain Kidds covers twenty-five years of difficult and trying efforts at criminal hunting, before it was finally successful." the Anti-Saloon League executive declared. ‘‘Then came enforcement of the slave trade laws,” he cited. “To enforce the edict forbidding importation of African slaves, adopted after 1808, a number of stringent laws were enacted, and a long, hard, diplomatic crusade on the part of government officials especially with European governments was necessary to obtain adequate enforcement. Another great problem faced the

Bad blood, or at least blood that is not balanced minerally, is responsible for all skin eruptions except those of an infectious nature. Local treatments may help for a little while but why not get rid of skin troubles forever? You've heard of Ocean-O, of course. Physicians have been using it for years. It is nothing more or less than pure deep sea water distilled, concentrated and filtered and -

with the excess of common salt removed. So Ocean-O as you get it at any drug store in a large 10 ounce bottle contains the mineral elements that your blood or body contains and needs. And when you have skin eruptions that torture or embarrass you its probably because your blood is starving for the want of just those vitalizing mineral elements that deep sea water or Ocean-O can furnish. Wnen you start to rid yotirself of skin diseases with Ocean-O all you need

government shortly after the administration of President Grant. Cherrington asserted. •'lt will be remembered." ho said, ‘•that this undertaking against lotteries required governmental efforts for un entire generation." The problems of the enforcement of the prohibition laws," he concludes. “are no greater than the problems which have been faced repeatedly by the government. In the enforcement of laws." _ o_ Men More Feminine, Women Masculine, Says Beauty Expert 1 Los Angeles, April 22. — (United Press) —Men are becoming more feminine and women more masculine, according to Mrs. Ruth J. Miller, head i of a national chain of beauty schools. “The modern barber shop has become a beauty shop for women, and men are spending $750,000,000 a year for beautification,” she said in an in- ( terview here. ' “It is the ape impulse—the women smoking cigarettes because the men do ( and the men using cold cream and: cosmetics because the women do. Sta-| tistics show more than 500.000 men use cosmetics. "The changes in our social and econ1 omic life are also responsible for this' ' apparent transmutation of the sexes.| ’ liusiness now brings men and women ' together in a manner which has the ’ effect of bringing out the latent ‘other sex ’ the effeminacy of man and the 1 masculinity of women.” > o National Censorship Os Films Opposed By Coolidge t Washington, April 22. — (United Press)—President Coolidge is oppos- ’ ed to a national censorship of films. The white house spokesman let ( this be known today, simultaneously . adding that any such action was a state rather than a federal one. The ( chief executive, however, was pictured as believing the film industry . had improved in recent years, particularly under the guidance of Will Hays, movie czar. , An inkling of the President’s posi- ! tion. it was said, could be found in the veto of a Massachusetts movie } censorship measure while he was 1 state governor. Thought this measure rested more on a constitutional question than on the merits of censorship itself. — o Adams Continues His Attack On Sen. Watson s Pern. Ind., April 22 —(United Press) f —Claris Adams, candidate for the ref publican long term senatorial nomination, continued his attack on Sena- :> tor James E Watson in an address a here Monday night. f Adams charged Senator Watson with 1 “playing politics with Indiana postmas- ■- ters” and asserted that the senate's e delay in confirming President Coolidge’s reappointment of Robert H. » Bryson, Indianapolis postmaster, was i- due to Watson’s influence in that i- body and was merely a move on his r part to gain the votes of the Indians apolis postal employes at the coming >- primary. r- 0 h Dr. Hendrick's name sounds like s-1 he'd prescribe lots o' garglin.'

; is one taspoonful in a glass of cold . wat°r and you drink this night and . morning. That means that a bottle will last a long time. One doctor says that in a case of general soriasis of several years ! standing the eruption began to fade in a week —yet we are told it cannot , be overcome. Ask Smith, Yager & Falk, or any i reliable druggist for a bottle of • Ocean-O today and start to banish skin eruptions.

OCEAN-O According to the analysis made by Samuel P. Sadtler & Son, Inc., analytical chemists, contains: Silica, Chlorine Calcium Oxide Magnesium Oxide Sodium Oxide Potassium Oxide Sodium Bicarbonate Manganese Bromine and IODINE

Use one bottle as directed and if it doesn’t help you — get your money back. And bear in mind that Ocean-O is a w. nderful blood, nerve and _ intestinal tonic and that after a bottle has been taken — always diluted with ewid water as directed — constipation will cease to bother and natural bowel movement will be regular. There isn’t a grain of anything artificial in Ocean-O, the deep sea water treatment, and it is easy to take and no after-taste,

1 ■Cft* of BLUE J LAKE JKrJ RANCH By GREGORY W 9. x. jTV'- ComUOHT BY**" / iCHARLXS SCIUBNDA sons

Synopaia CHAPTER I.—Bud I*e. horss foreman of the Blue ranch, convm< ed Bayne Trevor®, manager. Is deliberately wrecking the property* owned by Judith Sanford, a young woman, her coueln. Pollock Hamptoß; and Timothy Gray, decides to throw ' his job Judith arrives and announces •he has bought Gray® share in the ranch and will run It. She dischargee Trevors. • All mine, every running hoof of | 'em,” she said, cutting in. "What does Trevors want you to do with them? Give them away for ten dollars a head or cut their throats?" "Look here—” cried Trevors angrily, on his feet now. | “You shut up!” commanded the girl sharply. "Lee, you answer me.” “He's selling them fifty dollars a head." he said with a secret Joy in his heart us he glanced ut Trevors' (lushed face. "Fifty dollars!" Judith gasped. "Fifty dollars for a Red Duke colt like Comet!” She stared at Lee as though sha could not believe It. H* merely stared back at her, wondering Just how mueh she knew about horseflesh. Then, suddenly, she whirled again upon Trevors. "I came out to see If you were a crook or Just a fool,” she told him, her words like a slap in his face. “No man could be so big a fool as that! You—you crook 1” The muscles under Bayne Trevors’ Jaws corded. “You’ve said about enough,” he shot buck at her. “And even if you do own a third of this outfit. I’ll have you understand that I am the manager here and that I do what I like.” from her bosom she snatched a big envelope, tossing it to the table. “Look at that,” she ordered him. “You big thief! I've mortgaged my holding for fifty thousand dollars and I've bought in Timothy Gray's share. I swing two votes out of three now, Bayne Trevors. And the first thing I do is run you out, you great big grafting fathead I You would chuck Luke Sanford’s outfit to the dogs, would you? , Get off the ranch. You’re fired!" “You can't do a thing like this!" snapped Trevors, after one swift glance at the papers he had whisked out of their covering. “I cant, can't I?" she Jeered at him. “Don’t you fool yourself for one little minute! Pack your little trunk and hammer the trail." ‘Til do nothing of the kind. Why, I don't know even who you are! You say that you are Judith Sanford.” He shrugged his massive shoulders. “How do I know what game you are up to?” “You can't bluff me for two seconds, Bayne Trevors," she blazed at i him. "You know who I am, all right . Send for Sunny Harper,” she ended sharply. “Discharged three months ago," Trevors told her with a show of teeth. “Johnny Hodge, then,” she com- “ manded. “Or Tod Bruce or Bing ! Kelley. They all know me.” “Fired long ago, all of them." - laughed Trevors, “to make room for competent men.” ! I "To make room for more crooks!" she cried, her own brown hands balled Into fists scarcely less hard than Trevors' had been. Then for the third 1 time she turned upon Lee. "You are one of his new thieves, I suppose?” “Thank yon, ma'am,” said Bud Lee gravely. “Well, answer me. Are you?” “No, ma’am," he told her, with no hint of a twinkle In his calm eyes. “Leastwise, not his exactly. You see, I do all my killing and highway rob- , bing on my own books. It's Just a way I have.” I “Well,” Judith sniffed, “I don’t 1 know. It will be a Jolt to me If I there's a square man left on the I ranch! Go down to the bunk-house ’ and tell the cook I’m here and I’m hungry as a wildcat. Tell him and ' any of the boys that are down there } that I’ve come to stay and that Tret vors Is fired. They take orde~s from •me and no one else. And hurry. If r you know how. Goodness knows, you f look as though It would take you half i an hour to turn around 1” “Thank you, ma’am,” said Bud Lee. - “But you see I had Just tpld : vors here he could count me out. I'm • not working for the Blue Lake any more. As I go down to the corral, ! shall I send up one of the boys to take your orders?” ’ There was a little smile under the ( last words, just as there was a little I smile In Bud Lee’s heart at the thought of the boys taking orders i from a little slip of a girl. Inside he • was chuckling, vastly delighted with 1 the comedy of the morning. ’ j “She’s a sure-enough little wonderbird, all right,” he mused. “But, say, [ what does she want to butt in on a t man's-size job for, I want to know?” t "Lee,” called Trevors, “you take > orders from me or no one on this I ranch. You can so now. And Just

keep your ‘mouth shut.” Bud Lee was turning to go out and down to his horse when he saw the look in Trevors' eyes, a look of consuming rage. The general manager's voice had been hoarse. “D—n you," shouted Trevors, "get out!” "Cut out the swear-words, Trevors,” •aid Lee with quiet sternness. "There's a lady here." “Lady I" scoffed Trevors. He laughed contemptuously. “Where's your lady? That?" and he leveled a scornful finger at the girl. “A ranting tough of a female who brings a breath of the stables with her and scolds like a fish-wife. . . .” “Shut up!” said Lee, crossing the room with quick strides, his fuce thrust forward a little. "You shut up!” It was Judith’s voice as Judith's hand fell upon Bud Lee's shoulder, pushing him aside. “If I couldn't take care of myself do you think I'd be fool enough to take over a little Job like running the Blue Lake? Now—” and with blazing eyes she confronted Trevors —"if you’ve got any more nice little things to say, suppose you say them to mel” Trevors’ temper had had ample provocation and now stood naked and hot in his hard eyes. In a blind Instant he laid his tongue to a word which would have sent Bud Lee at his throat. But Judith stood between them and, like an echo to the word, came the resounding slap as Judith's open palm smote Trevor's cheek. “You wildcat!” he cried. And his two big hands flew out. seeking her shoulders. "Stand back!” called Judith. “Just because you are bigger than I am, don't make any mistake! Stand back I tell you!" Bud Lee marveled at the swiftness with which her hand had gone into her blouse and out again, a small-cal-iber revolver In the steady fingers now. He had never known a man—himself possibly excepted—quicker at i the draw. But Bayne Trevors, from whose 1 make-up cowardice had been omitted, | laughed sneerlngiy at her and did not < stand back. His two hands out before him, his face crimson, he came on. “Fool!” cried the girl. “Fool!” Still he came on. Lee gathered himself to spring. Judith fired. Once, and Trevors’ right arm fell to Ids side. A second time, and Trevors’ left arm hung limp like the other. The crimson was gone from his face now. It was dead white. Little beads of sweat began to form on his brow’. Lee turned astonished eyes to Judith. "Now you know who's running this outfit, don’t you?” she said coolly. “Lee, have a team hitched up to carry Trevors wherever he wants to go. He's not hurt much; I just winged him. And go tell the cook about my breakfast.” But Lee stood and looked at her. He had no remark to offer. Then he turned to go upon her bidding. As he went down to the bunk-house he said softly under his breath: “Well, I'm d —d. I most certainly am!” CHAPTER !l x Judith Puts It Straight Wrinkled, grizzled old half-breed Jose, his hands trembling with eagerness, stood In the smaller rose-garden culling the perfect buds, a joyous tear running its zigzag way down each cheek. “La senorita ees come home!” he announced as Lee drew near on hls way to the bunk-house. "Jesu Maria! Een my heart it is like the singing of leetle birdies. Mire, senor. My flowers bloomin’ the brighter, already—no?’ "You’ve known her a leng time, Joe?” “Seence she ces bom!” and Jose, unashamed, wiped a tear upon the back of a leathery hand. “Senor Sanford and me, senor, we teach her when she ees So leetle!" Jose's shaking hand was lowered until it marked the stature of a twelve-inch pigmy. “Never at all until one year ago does she leave ns and the rancho. We, uh two who love her, senor, learn her to walk and to ride and to shoot and to talk. You shall hear her say, ‘Buenos dlas, Jose, ml amigo!’ You shall see her kees the cheek of old Jose. Madre de Dios! I would go down to h—l far her to bring back fire to warm her leetle feet een weenter!” Lee went thoughtfully on hls way to the bunk-house. "I’ve got orders for you fellows,” he said from the doorway. “The boss of the outfit, the real owner, you know, Jus) blew In. Up at the house. Says you boys are to stick around to take orders straight from headquarters. You, Benny,” to the cook, “are to have a man’s size ' breakfast ready in a jiffy.” ! 1 Naturally Benny led the clamor with 11 1 —

He accepted the fact as a personal affront. Who was this owner? —demanded Ward Hannon, the foreman of the lower ranch, where the alfalfa fields were. Lee explained gravely that the newcomer was some sort of relative of old Luke Sanford, who had recently ac- , quired a controlling interest in the ranch. Ward Hannon grunted contemptuously. “The Lord deliver us I” he moaned. "Eastern Jasper! One of the know-all about-it brand, huh, Bud? I'll bet he combs hls hair in the middle and smokes cigareets out'n a box! The putty-headed loons can’t even roll their own smokes.” “Don’t believe," hazarded Lee indifferently, “from the looks of our visitor that—that the owner smokes anything!’’ “Listen to thats grunted Ward Hannon. “Softy, huh?” “Well.” Bud admitted slowly, “looks sort of like a girl, you know!” <t<> in: n>vriMi:in To have beantifiil clear white clothes use Russ Bleaching Blue.
