Prohibition in Light of Intelligence BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Members cf the W. C. T. U. have been holding a conference ifi Denver. Mrs. Boole, the national president, in her speech attacked society leaders, the press and politicians. Two may deserve this censure, but the newspapers of the country, w'ith lew exceptions, are honestly striving to give truthful accounts of what is actually happening in this land of the spree. Few editors deliberately color their reports of law violations in order to subject honest efforts at enforcement to ridicule, as Mrs. Boole insists. “Prohibition is no longer an experiment, it is a policy,’’ says the W. C. T. U. leader. We might add that in many places it is also a joke. This being the case, it is not a time to cry out for the same patriotism which was exhibited during the World War, but it is a time to face lacts and try to determine whether or not prohibition enforcement is successful. Ostrich Act Only* the ostrich hides his head in the sand and considers himself out of danger. Individuals should be wise enough to look their problems squarely in the face and then set about solving them. Os course the politicians are not giving their full support to the Volstead program, as Mrs. Boole charges. Too many of ‘ them like t little dram. And being politicians it is so easy for them to crate one thing and do another. We have a man who calls himself “King of the Bootleggers” enjoying a sort of love feast with the jury that acquitted him for the murder of his wife. We have poor little stills raided in all parts of the land, ignorant white and colored men thrown into jail with magnificent gestures from officers and judges, while the big bootlegger buys himself mansions in Florida and battles for Iris territroial rights. Poor Liquor Everywhere We have poor liquor dispensed at nearly all social affairs in every corner of this country. We have men and women drinking together in such a fashion as was never done before except in the slums and dives, bringing about countless moral disasters. We have a nation that poses as dry and that piles up a record for drunkenness not matched by any other country on the globe. It is not patriotism we need in dealing with this question. It is some hard common sense.

MARYE and ‘MOM’ tt a a THEIR LETTERS

BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES Marye, my dear: I’m afraid you don’t appreciate all the privileges of marriage. Free speech is one of them. I don’t mean to say that a husband or wife should be rude to each other or say anything they like, but there are times when it is absolutely necessary to blow off steam. You're still at the serious age in matrimony, dear. That is, you take seriously everything your husband says when he is in a temper. But when you’ve been married longer you will be able to, smile at your present attitude. If Alan lost his temper because you stalled the car I’m sure it was due to nervous excitement and really had nothing to do with you except indirectly. Another thing, had he been teaching any other woman to drive he wouldn't have cared so much when she failed to handle the car efficiently. With his wife it is different, because your achievements are a matter of pride to him, Marye. If you show superior skill he can boast of it to his friends, and it also does him credit as an instructor. I’ve heard people say, though, that a husband should never attempt to teach his wife to drive. And I know it almost led to a separation between Leonard Moseley and Agatha. I think you're right to get a professional instructor, but I wish you wouldn’t have that young man throw his arm around your shoulders. I wouldn’t trust him, Marye. Florence was in when your letter came and I told her about the new car. She says she hopes you will drive out this summer. She hasn’t found a position yet, so if you should come while she’s “at leisure,” as she says, you would have someone to drive around with you. Her mother needs her to help at home, she told me. I’m afraid that’s true for poor old Mrs. Meredith is failing. Bur Florence doesn’t help much, I guess. She’s going around with young Kenneth Oates and you know he’s out of a job half the time. They're together most every afternoon. I’d hate to see Florence marry him. Well, dear, do be careful in your driving, won t you? With all my love, MOM.

Camp Fire Girls of Nation Plan Birthday Event Dii United rrcss NEW YORK. March 9.—About 190,000 young people will celebrate the sixteenth birthday of the Camp Fire Girls of the United States during next week. The anniversary is March 17. Instead of receiving gifts on the anniversary, the members of this organization intend to give them. The Red Cross needs children’s clothing and infants’ layettes to replinsh supplies depleted by recent disasters. So the Camp Fire Girls have put into practice two of their laws, to “give service” and "glorify work.” Throughout the country, more than 7,000 groups have been working since January in cooperation with the Needlework Guild of America renovating old articles of clothing and making new ones, in preparation for the birthday ceremonies. A “birthday honor” will be awarded those who participate in the making of the gifts and preparation of the council Are ceremonies, and who also have fulfilled certain requirements between Jan. 1 and April 1. A program has been arranged for each day of the week beginning Sunday, with Camp Fire services in churches. Monday a radio program: Tuesday exhibit of clothing and layettes: Wednesday talks before schools: Thursday talks before Parent-Teachers Associations and clubs; Friday mother and daughter banquet; Saturday birthday council fire. The Ladies Society of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers will give a card party Saturday night in the hall, Shelby St. and English Ave.
