BRYAN OPTIMISTICALLY SOUNDS KNELL FOR BOOTLEGGERS
Commoner Declares Pinchot Action Will Lead Way for Better Enforcement of Volstead Law — Publicity Is Necessary, By, ROY J. GIBBONS iV£A Service Writer rsyj ASHJNGTON, Oct. 23.—1 have just run with Bryan. Not W politically speaking— But down the main corridor of a local hotel, to finish peripatetically our interview, begun just a little while before over the comfoftable remnants of a breakfast of hot cakes and ham in the hostelry dining room. The thrice aspirant for the country’s presidency was in a hurry or something, which left nothing else but a literal running fire of questions and answers toward furthering a mutual desire to solve the country’s liquor enforcement problem.
William Jennings optimistically predicted that bootlegging would soon be a thing of the past. Some Rapier Irony? He passed over Governor Pinchot’s recent pilloryiag of the prohibition machine and its apparent Incapability to cope with growing disregard for enforcement of the Volstead act with such lightning dispatch that the mind Wa* left aquiver and doubtful as to -bether Bryan was pleased or not th the excoriation. No grapejuice appeared on the board, but he ate his ham with a great relish and pushed through the steaming plate of hot cakes with a gleam in his eye when referring to the uprising of public sentiment In favor of total temperance. "Speaking vof Governor Pinchot’s declaration, in which he aroused public concern by holding up the prohibition enforcement machine as a politically hampered agency, do you 0 consider this as a seeming attempt on the part of the State to shift responsibility to the Federal Government?" I asked. "I am glad you used the word '•eeming,' " Bryan replied. "Because I would not wish to think it purposeful. It is perfectly proper, however, for a Governor to remind the Federal Government what it can do, which the State cannot do. "The action of the Governor in calling attention to what the Federal Government can do and the action of the President, calling attention to
Save Fuel Costs Expert Declares $2,000,000 Worth of Fuel Is Wasted in U. S. Every Day
Fit SEA Service rF/j ASHINGTON. Oct. 23.—Battling Kid Winter, who has been in ——J seclusion for some months, is getting ready to step forth and knock the public for a long series of big fuel bills. Prepare, then, to circumvent the kid by getting more heat out of less coal, or gas or whatever el3e you use to keep warm. Samuel S. Wyer, associate in mineral technology of the Smithsonian Institution, has Just issued a pamphlet giving the exact procedure for the most economical and efficient use of coal, gas and oil in the home. If correct methods were understood and applied throughout the country, he contends, the same heat- j ing service could be obtained with , one-half the fuel and there would re- j suit a saving of easily 32,000,000 worth ! of fuel a day. Stimultaneous with the issuance \ of Mr. Wyer’s pamphlet, Rudolph Kudlich. a fuel engineer of the United i States Bureau of Mines, today gives some timely suggestions on the gentle art of firing the furnace. Here, in substance, is his advice to coal users: Cooking Coal "By burning coal, instead of cooking it, you can save 25 per cent of your fuel bills. “Too many persons make the mistake of covering the entire Are bed euch time they add coal. When this happens. most of the gases are cooked < ut and escape up the chimney with- < ut being burned. "The best method is to apply a heap t fuel on one side of the furnace and then, when this has burned down, throw the next heap on the opposite side. This alternating method always exposes a bed of live coals to ignite the gasses, f "A big Are burning slowly is cheaper in the long run than a little Are burning fast. Fast burning means incomplete combustion and lienee more waste in the ashes. ‘Regulate your Are by the damper and the ash-pit door instead of by the fuel door. Every pound of excess air taken in fire cools the furnace just that much. Keep your furnace clean—it’s mussy work, but it pays. Keep the heating pipes well covered.” “Fuel Powder” That proper methods will save a ; urprising amount of coal was dem* castrated to fuel engineers not long ENGINEERING STUDENTS MAKE INSPECTION TRIP 50 Men Leave Purdue Today for Survey of Industrial Plante. 3 United Prett ~ LAFAYETTE, Ind..

what tRe Governor can do, should result not only in better law enforcement, but in harmonious law enforcement.” • Spotlight Is Good "Do you think this publicity given the liquor trafiic may, as some think, encourage law breakers?”., the question was asked. "No! Because publicity is a necessary part of law enforcement. Law breakers can act In secret, but law enforcement must be in public. "The greatest encouragement given violators of the law is given by public ofilcials who sympathize with breakers of the law as, for instance, the action of the State of New York in withdrawing from law enforcement, and the Pennsylvania Legislature’s refusal of appropriations for enforcement work. "There seems to be one thing that is strangely overlooked, and that is the emphasis of importance of total abstinence. Prohibition rests entirely on the theory that intoxicants are harmful. "All churches, colleges and all public men ought to be anxious to take themselves out of the suspected classes by announcing their own total abstinence. Unless they do they can not complain when wets cnarge prohibitionists drink themselves hut don’t want any one else to drink. A Sincere Man "A total abstinence sentiment back of prohibition is the only guarantee of permanency. But prohibition will finally triumph over all organized op-

Thus ended our chat, begun with entree and ending In retreat along the carpeted halls. To me, Bryan seemed a bit worn, and thinner, too. The upward sweep of his hair, which once formed a sort of trough in the rear, looks more tidy since clipped. His voice, however, still retains its kindly ring. And regardless of however else he suutes one. the impression lingers after talking with him, that he la above all a gentleman, and one with ideate. He is tolerant to a degree and bums with a great desire to be of help. This I discovered as I ran with him—but not politically speaking.

Weekly Book Review— , Books Written by Kate Douglas Wiggin Opened Doors of Million Hearts to Her
By WALTER D. HICKMAN rpTIN memory’s book shelf Is "The I flj Birds’ Christmas Carol." L——J Its author is now but a memory but how sweet a memory millions of men and women, boys and girls have to Kate Douglas Wiggin. The hand and brain which functioned to write-the "Carol,” "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm,” "Timothy’s Quest,” "Penelope's Experiences” and many others, no longer exist. Kate Douglas Wiggin has written her last book. Her pen is silent but the reading public of the world will j never forget her. As I turn the pages of her last book, "My Garden of Memory," which was on the press at the time of her death, I realize that her monument is in the hearts of millions of people. "The books did it,” she writes in "My Garden of Memory,” Just published by Houghton Mifflin Company. "The children in them opened certain hearts to me, etc.” Her life must have been a joyous one as sRb climbed the ladder of fame. Men and women in high places have honored her and she has been seated at the table of royalty, but I feel that it was in your heart and mine that she felt most at home. If Rebecca, the Birds, Marm Lisa and the others have ever knocked at the door of your heart, I am sure that Kate Douglas WJggln also entered. In explaining why most of her books and stories have been very short she states in her last book, "My habit of work has been, generally speaking, to write what was uppermost in my mind and to stop when I had nothing more to say. I have done many wrong things in my life, but I have never done a long thing!" We Know Now llow “The Birds’ Christinas Carol” Was Written On Page 326 of "My Garden of Memory" the author tells these facts concerning the writing of the "Carol” as follows. "I remember a large bedroom in San Francisco—lt overlooked the Golden Gate and the low green slopes of the Marin snore—where I wrote my first book, ‘The Birds’ Christmas Carol.’ It was not to be pub- | llshed, but. merely printed, put between paper covers and sold for the benefit of the Sliver Street Free Kindergartens, where by life work lay at the moment. The book was a good friend to me. It earned the where-v.-lthal to take a group of children out of the dangers of the squalid streets and transport them into a place of
New Merwin Book For his new novel, Samuel Merwin has gone back sixteen years of his life and almost 2,000 years in the dilatory of the world. "Silk” is the story of China in the first century, the atmosphere for which Merwin gathered while in China in 1207 investigating opium traffic. He was sent to China as a young man by a prosperous magazine that had a keen nose for muckraking. It was, he believes, "the most joyous assignment a man ever had." While there he saw interior parts of China where life had remained almost static since the days of the great silk trade to the West which forms the motif of his novel. Since this first acquaintance with China he has pursued her history, literature and arts with enthusiasm, and the result is “Silk.”
safety and gladness. Then it took me by thq hand and led me into the crowded world where the public lives. It brought me friends in strange places, it won fox me the love of mothers and children, that ever blessed little book of less than* a hun dred pages." I have always felt that real love for children and mothers caused Kate Douglas Wiggin to write this blessed story. And right now I will make a confession. Here it is: For the last ten Christmas days I have reread the "Carol.” It may seem like sentimental bunk, hut I feel that this book Is a part of my Christmas day. It gets into my heart. And how the world needs heart food today! You Will Meet Famous People in Her Garden Because of the length of her last book, it is Impossible for me to share with you some brilliant wit and charming adventures which Mrs. Wiggin had during her lifetime. You will meet, through the magic of her pen, such famous people as Queen Victoria, Samuel L. Clemens, Charles Dickens, Rudyard Kipling, Lady Forbes-Robertson, John Drinkwater, Lord Dunsany, Geraldine Farrar, Lord and Lady Aberdeen, Ellen
Terry, William. E. Gladstone, Maijcme Lillian Nordica, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Edith Taliaferro, William H. Taft when he was President, the Duchess of York (now Queen Mary) and hundreds of others. What marvelous fiowers have bloomed in her garden of memory. What an opportunity It is to meet the MOTION PICTURES - ~
