An Aleoholie Drink That is!h"uI,i h! ivc" rapport fnim .inp:i

The House bill for the enforcement
of war time prohibition und the feil-
tral prohibition amendment is dinntic.
Imperially in iu insistence that liquor

one trane;e cxeeptinn made from
which thirsty bouIb, particularly in
the rural nections, may derive sidace.

but hard cider. ThiB, as too many
men know to their cost, is a potent
beverage, whose effects are some
times disastrous beyond whut minlit
lie expected from its ulcoholic con
tent. And that content, us laboratory
iniulric have established, is not nl
ali insignificant.
Department of Airrirulturo expert1
testify that fermented cider contains
8 to 10 per cent alcohol, which is
twice ns much as there used to be in
beer. Nevertheless congress in it
wisdom decrees that beer is dendlv
nnd cider ift harmless.
It is probably futile to inquire too
closely into the operations of the coir
fricssinnnl mind on this matter. I'er
haps the "drys" were fearful of mnk
iiiK the law too drastic, and chose to
create a sort of safety-valve to eimo
tho "wet" pressure and avoid retalia
tions. Or perhaps the conirressmoi'
flared the farmer vote.
At any rate, the exception stands,
unless the senate rules it out. Anil
thus cidor steps into a new and hon
ored place or dishonored, if you pre
fer in the list nf American drinks.
Henceforth it is to ho the only bever
age obtainable that Ib capable of in
during not intoxication, of course,
congress has settled that but such
transient exhilaration ns people havi
been wont to obtain from alcohol.
It needs no prophet to foretell n
big demand for cider nnd an cage'-
market for every cider-apple produced
Those apples will not lie left rotting
on the ground next fall.
But women iye given p;.,spoi".ti on tin
theory that they are wives of the men

they give birth to cliildicii, and thu.i
defeat tin- purpose of the agrecmi nt

men off .the land."
If this is not cheeked, m-ys the sen
ator, it melius the cud of the white
race in California.
Possibly his fcaifl are cxaire;eiated.
Certainly the white man shows no
signs of losing his control of Cali
fornia cities, and of the stnto as, a
whole. Hut there is unquestionably a
menace there, of which this partirulu
bit of evidence is more convinrine
than usual to th ret f the country.

Who Wants to Own An En
tire Town.
Want to htiy n town? It !b per
fectly feasible. Anybody with the
desire and the requisite cash can pur
c-huso one ready-made, at a bargain.
1 he town is St. Helena, Mil., located
on a branch of the Pennsylvania rail
road, connected with Baltimore by an
eioctric railway, and consisting of 11X1
houses, together with store buildings,
cafeteria, paved streets and elect ri"
lighting system.
It is all of modern construction. Thn
houses are small, more like summo"
cottages than ordinary residences, lull
said to be comfortable and rouvenicn',
for Bmall families. They stand not
in blocks, but in groups, and there is
n fnir-sir.ed lot for every house.
Anyone who thinks he can occup;
a town like that may apply Tor par
ticulars to the United States Shippiiift
Board, F.morgoncy Fleet CorHirnlion
Housing Division, nt Washington or
Philadelphia.'
It ia a rare opportunity for the citi
xen yearning to be the whole thing in
his town. Various social, legal and
political problems can be reduced to
extreme simplicity. He will not bo
bothered by uncongenial neighbors nnd
may hope to havo municipal uuir:'
conducted ns he wants them.
The proposition, is undeniably nt
tractive, in many ways, let, some
how, the name is ominously sugges
tive. Suppose the' lordly proprieto
nf that town should find that "his an
ticipated paradise was a place or ex

There are Socialists, it is true, who

Hut among those who believe in fun

people who have been win king, as have

Whether these are ''true Socialists 1

likely to be settled soon by either

point seems to be that the decent and

A Caravan of Motor Trucks
For Remembrance.
On July 7 there started from ihe
White House a procession of nioto" j
trucks. Their final destination is San
Francisco,
These are the trucks which took the
place to a very great iteit, of the
sacred army mule in hauling supplies
and muni t ions in this count ry and
abroad dm ing the war.
Tho war department is n sponsib'.'

Ivn of ''Roads of Kcmcmhrance, road;
stretching away ncivs the country,
dedicated to the rem mbranco of Hk

The idea of memorial roads is not
new, but now it is proposed by the
war depart ment that the route f d
lowed by the trucks shall be the line
of the road.
The forestry department is un;ing
that the roads be lined with trees, and
this is the go-pel which will be
preached as the caravan winds its way

Foreign Language Papers
Take a Hunch.
Aroused to their ?wn defense, the
leading foreign-language newspapers
are advertising on a large scale that
their chief object in life is the Amer
icanization of their readers.
If this is true it is good new-. Cer
tainly in the face of present public
opinion it is good policy, for the
American people are in no mood to
tolerate any foreign propaganda.
It would be a good thing if the for
eigner coming to this country and un
able to read English could have im
mediate instruction in Americanism
through the language he does under-
stand, but this instruction will be use-
