SfePEOPLESJ* COLUMN The following clipping on government control of liquor selling was sent to the -Syracuse Journal by J. T. Riddle: Government Control The Dominion of Canada .through its Bureau of Statistics, has issued a bulletin which removes all justification for support of government sale of liquor on the grounds of “temperance" or “moderation.” The official Dominion figures show the Canadians h* v e increased spending for liquor from $30,000,000 in 1922 to more than $100,000,000 last year: that the sale of whiskey instead of being retarded by-»the popularizing of beer and wine, has icreased more thon 60% in the last two years and is increasing more rapidly than the sale of beer and wine; that drunkenness is increasing. Ontario, for instance, convicted 13,70$ drunks in 1926 and 16,000 two years later. Deaths from alcoholism in Canada have more than doubled since 1921. Convictions for drunken driving in Canada increased thirteen hundred percent in the six liquor control years. Motor accidents show almost a doublled death toll in four years . Bootlegging .illicit distilling and homebrewing are still actice, in spite of government restrictions. All of the increases are in greater proportion than the Canadian increases in traffic, or popoulation, and must be laid to the fact that intoxicating liquor from a government bottle is just as dangerous as from any other bottle.”—CoL P. H. Callahan, Chairman of the Co-operative Committee for Prohibition Enforcement. \ O ■jT"’ TRY A JOURNAL WANT AD

Last Minute News 1 ' Three-year-old Joan Xanders is in the Goshen hospital as the result of ( the accident Wednesday afternoon in which her forehead was cut and i her leg broken. Mrs. George ganders .accompanied by Mrs. Hallie Holloway, was driving to Goshen, Joan was in the back seat of the car, and just as the car was about to round one of the curves on the Benton-Goshen road. Joan called: ‘ “Mother! The door’s come open." Before her mother could get” the car stopped, the chile had fallen out. She was rushed tc the hospital and her father sent for. The leg was set, and Joan is remain ing there for a few days ,to be sure nothing serious develops from the cut on her forehead. Mrs. Xanders is with her. . - “The Li’l Wife In Africa’’ (Editor’s Note: Because *.<» many people have suggested we write *ome of our African perieirces; and because so much i* written of bij> game, and so little of housekeeping near the Equator, the editor’s wife is writing, from the diary she kept, about Li'l Wife in Africa.”) So we got our trunks unloaded before the boat left Basongo, and Frenchy and the editor rounded up some niggers to carry our luggage to his home ,to be loaded on the flivver the next morning. From the Elabo wireless station, the editor wired the main office of the company we’d try to make Luebo, if they could arrange to have us met there. Then we went to Frenchy’s house I where our folding beds were unfoldled and put up for the night in the j room he used for an office. The I other room was his bedroom, and •he dining room was a veranda except at meal times. Frenchy had collected a number of curios, small doll-sized idols carved out of wood, knives, and a witch doctors mask that looked like a hangover from a Hallowe’en celebration. I’d felt pretty low ever since finding airplanes running on regular schedule in Africa, and this witch inask cheered me up a lot. Maybe there were a few old customs left I to keep the dark continent from bei ing ultra-modern. When I commented on the mask, Frenchy explaned. “But yes, these are the work of the Bakuba tribe, is still very much of a tribe, madame. They are perhaps the I most advanced negroes in this section. Their chief has his headquarters not so far from here, and although a very oldman, has yet the

tribe under his power, in spite of the state. “When he comes to Elabo, his ambassador comes before him, to notify his people that he is about to arrive. . * “He may be very old, but he has very progressive ideas, also. Besides collecting money tribute from his people he has other wealth, no one knows how much, there being nd income tax reports here. He wants very much so buy a flivver, too, and he has the money on hand io do so, but it is impossible to transport them into the country fast enodgh to take care of the demands of the whites developing the country, so the chief must wait.” . I just said “Oh, 1 ” but was privately very thankful that we had managed ’to get to Africa this year .instead of ihaybe a few months later. Because it WoUldn’l be many months now, I could plainly see, until all the old cannibals would be out breaking the speed -limits in sport models, or airplanes. Frenchy had hurried his boys out to the coqk house, and it wasn’t long till we had some food that we knew hadn’t been a fellow passenger goal. And some music, on our portable. Vic. llt wasn’t that it was an unusual pleasure to hear a Vic; Frenchy just wanted to hear ours, as his houseboys had long since Worn his out playing it. We turned in early for a five o’clock start the next mprning, which we made without breakfast ,to get as far along as possible before the sun got hot. Our pullman accomodations was of Henry’s own, had its engine covered and wheels on, but the rest Henry hadn’t made. Old store boxes had been changed into boards, forming a truck body ,and likewise, the uncushioned driver’s seat. When we had our beds re-folded and put on it >and the trunks added, with the editor and the nigger mechanician, riding on top of that, it looked more like a truck. 1 got to ride up on the drver’s store box, beside Frenchy. We had on heavy knickers, sweaters and golf ■ hose - but even so, we nearly froze, driving through the heavy early morning fog, which because we had no windshield, we found as wet as rain before we’d gone Very far. The idea was to get to the next post and ask for breakfast. That is the way a white travels in that country . He is the guest of whoever happens to live where he goes past. The loaded flivver went so slowly up hills, and we didn’t reach a white’s home until about 10 a. m,— nearly starved. So when the sun was high: and hot, and we were nearly dried out again arid famished, we came to the post Frenchy had told' us befOre, where

we were to have that breakfast The white man was Portugese. His, large grassrroofed bungalow, with its bamboo shades dropped about the veranda, except at the entrance, was set back from the road, and you got to it through an opening between palm trees. He had planted flowers in plots before his baked mud house, dividing them from each other by hedge rows made of beer, wine and whiskey bottles, turned upside down, with their necks partially buried in the ground . The owner greeted us cordially, and called at once for houseboys to bring us breakfast. While this was placed before us on the table on the veranda ,the owner went to a nearby building, the store where he traded with the natives ,to bring the chocolate candy we’d asked to buy. And along came breakfast . The first eggs and bacon for two months! Ripe bananas and edible toast! From the table we could see his store house, and the smaller houses which lined a court yard at the rear of this ,the owner’s house. Frenchy explained that each of these houses was for a nigger wife and her family. There were eight hoqses. It did sound sort of like a harem at first, but the more eggs and bacon I ate ,the broader-minded 1 became. Just try breakfasting on sour sourdough bread and cheese for a ctn.ple of months and see how easily you can shrug and say, “It’s Africa,” when you do eat an egg. We had finished breakfast before our host returned. When he did, I asked him the question every white puts to another before they t; Ik very long. The, “When is your term finished,” one He Sort of smiled and said he’d been here 30 years, and came from Lisboa he had planned to stay. Imagine what you’d have missed not being alive- I mean, being in Africa the last 30 years! : I didn’t say anything, but hejnust have guess-
