V Wickeraham's prohibition enforce llient investigating committee. After a study covering a period of 23 monlhs the commission re ports some vory definite opinions on tho subject. It ia noliceubl however, that there was no real unity of opinion anions the mem hers of the commission. This fact Is not surprising for there 1b no national unity of thinking on tills subject. As a mailer of fact tho report reveals the fuel that the membership of tho commission was well selected, for Its report Is In no sense partisan. Two paragraphs In the summary of the report are of particular slg ulflcanco, partly because they were points ou which all of the mem bers agreed und partly because they aro poignant comment on the situation: "Tho commission Is of the opin ion that there Is yet no adequate observance or euforcuinent. "The commission la of the opin ion that tho present organization for enforcement Is still lnado quate." Another Important recommenda tion was that congress be given the power to rogulate or prohibit the liquor business. This was of fered us a suggestion In case Hit 18th amendment wero ever re vised. Many of the commission wero ol tho opinion Unit tho existing law could be enforced. After you have read over lhc summary of tho report which hat been published In tho newspapers you may wonder Just exactly what, If nnytlilng, It actually rcconii id cd. If you arc an avowed "wot," the roporl which is essentially favor able to the 18th amendment as It now stands, will not please you. II you aro a "dry," no doubt you will bo disappointed at some phases of tho report. A majority of tho commission expressed the opinion thut tho mut ter should bo referred to the stutes tor final decision. Tills Is tho same a Buying Cut tho mat ter of prohibition should agnht he put to a oto. 'i'hero is much pub lie sentmient In favor of this Idea. Liso other political matters, how ever, tho mere voting ono way or another on it would make no more permanent solution than wo now have. Those who favor the pmu of having another veto by slates on tills question contend that this would effectively sellle the con trovorsy. It the recommendation of the commission's six members who ad vocated a state poll, were followed out, tho procedure would be as fol lows: Congress would adopt and BUhmlt to the slates for ml II I ration or rejection a luodtrienilnn of the prohibition amendment Thirty-six of the forty-eight slnles could adopt or reject. If adopted by Ihllty slx stales, regulation and control of the liquor liaflle would bo placed lu the hands of cnngress. Tho country would then he wet or dry or under a plan of nioillili-aiiou subject io trie vole of rougi-cits. This writer does not believe ili.n such procedure would anile :lii thing. It is true of coiw-c Hue the people of the country wonl lllive- ugaln expressed their idea via ballot, but the prohibit. on question would Kt III he Just as aim und just as controversial as ever For the first few years utiei ,lllior traffic was faced under Us control, cnngress "would not have u great deal of lime for the consideration of other problems. If the present prohibition amend ment Is regarded us an epeiimeul wo aro not finished.

Now, Nancy Lee, here Is my problem. This girl has told ment that Hhe loves me, hut some how i am not sure she does. Last night a friend and myself went to see her. While we wero talking my friend put his arm around her and my heart fell when 1 saw that she did not re! use. She has told me many limes before that If she succeeds In getting mo jealous that 1 will like her all tho more. Now, N'uncv I. en. tin von mull v think (hut If she really loved me that she would try to get me jealous? I am not jealous of my friend, be cause I would do anything in my power to make him happy. H. S. BS,: It is useless to attempt to understand some womon. Try and 'understand yourself. What makes you so kind to your friend and anxious to do anything to make hi in happy? Aren t you go ing a little too far when you allow him to lake liberties with the girl you profess to care for? Speak to him and tell him that you do not wish such an incident to occur again. Then speak to the girl, ami tell her that such conduct does not make you jealous, it merely disgusts you. Tell her that mutual understanding and respect are nec essary for true and lasting affec tion.
