:e booze and the hop and the law "Constitutional prohibition has" been adoptsfcby the Nation," President Harding reminded I igress. "It is the supreme law of the land. 1; ea plain speaking, there are conditions relating Tits enforcement which savor of nation-wide ; wndal. "I ci "The day is unlikely to come when the hteenth amendment will be repealed. The - M may as well be recognized and our course 'i 'h)Ptec accordingly. If the statutory provisions rl h. its enforcement are contrary to deliberate I bllc opinion, which I do not believe, the riga ou3 and literal enforcement will concentrat i yAic attention on any requisite modification.

V; :h a course conforms with the law and saves X" humiliation of the Government and the huQ Ration of our people before the world, and y lllenges the destructive forces engaged in j4 oiespread violation, official corruption, and int'idual demoralization." . ' There are differences of opinion as to the ' - Sidom of the law designed to carry the eighnth amendment into effect, but everybody Quid be of one mind in enforcing it while it J Jhains on the statute books. It represents the

) ojority will of our national legislators. Wheniil Jr it does not they can change it at once.

yj ose legislators interpret the majority opinion j " 'their constituents, otherwise they would be ,aoved from office. The fact is that the proition law is there, and likely to stay there, i. :ause as the President believes, a majority p the people are for it. We are faced with problem whether a militant minority shall . J permitted to continue their flagrant acts of jiation whether the "humiliation of our peoi before the world" is to be longer condoned. y Those who advocate the repeal or, modifica- ! - f of the prohibition law quote the bootlegt s' activities as proof of the nation's inability j. ' .curb maa's appetite for drink, and say that .,' s country might as well admit its impotence ' l, letting down the restrictions. y We are hearing a lot hese days about the ; is evil. It is said that in the city of Washton alone $500,000 worth of drugs is con1 ned every year. The other day a man was tested in New York with a huge stock of t ', gs in his possession, and a long list of custoi rs to whom he furnished the stuff. Promi- , it actors and actresses are said to be among V . ) victims. Apparently the stringent Federal r against the unauthorized sale and use of f igs falls far short of accomplishing its objj J. But the fact that numerous drug boot- - eers make it easy for drug addicts to satisfy y . ir cravings is not advanced as a reason for fj ;ing down the bars. On the contrary, Fed1 1 1 and state governments are urged to tighten I in their enforcement of the narcotic laws.

v inose wno wink at violatoms of the liquor L ' ad then urge its repeal because of those lations are taking a most dangerous stand.

THE FIRST REASON

There are several reasons why the United

States will not cancel any foreign debts. The

first and entirely sufficient reason is that no debtor has asked it, or will ask it. The rewho seek to enhance their own financial fortunes at the expense of the Government of the United States.

THE EASY WAY Some people spend their whole lives in an effort to live longer. They spend all their time and energy in first one fad and then another, in their feverish desire to lengthen their days, and forget to fill them with the things that make life really worth living. There are other people who give no thought at all to the maintenance of life, until they suddenly realize that their days are shortening. Then they grasp irrationally at any magical scheme, any Fountain of Youth, any charm or incantation that will grant them a new lease on life. The first class of dcodIc foreet what life is

. . - - i for. The second class neglect to care for the ;

lives they have. Hence the sudden need of a magic potion in so many cases.

The alleged discovery of a nextraordinary

plant, to displace meat in the diet, that will lengthen life indefinitely will appeal to this class of people. The exponent of this discovery writing from Paris, claims Biblical authority by identifying it with the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, adding that Adam's sin was not the traditional one but that of departing from a vegetarian diet, which included this plant This report will doubtless raise the hopes of numerous credulous persons who are constantly on the watch for the new and strange.

There is just one way to a long life. That is the careful, conscientious, and consistent observance of the laws of lifephysical, mental, and moral. There is no short and easy way. It is long and hard. But it is worth while.

Taxis ueually are considered nuisances, especially by pedestrians. Bnt the French government thinks enough of the one above to install it in the war museum of the Hotel des In-

valides, Paris. This rickety old cab was a veteran in service when the war broke out eight years ago. It was commandeered with every other taxi in the nation to rush troops to the front to halt the Germans' march on

Paris. Louis Gouault, the driver, although then forty-four, stuck by his wheel and piloted the ..lachine through chose hectic days. Recently he drove the cab, bulletridden and creaking with age, into the museum.
