ALICE PAUL, suffragist, head of National Woman's Tarty: America's foremost New Year resolution should be, I think, that our country should during this coming year remove all political, civil, legal, economic and other discriminations against women, so that women shall no longer be in any form of subjection to men in law or cus tom, but shall in every way be on an equal plane in rights, as they have always been and will continue to be, in re sponsibilities and obligations. '. ROY A IIAYNES,' federal prohibition commissioner: As a nation we should solemnly resolve that we will not knowingly violate any of the laws of the land; that we will hold sacred the Constitution of our country. We should cov enant with, ourselves that we wilknot encourage others to disregard our. laws, even though it be by remaining silent when our laws, are violated. Wc shauld pledge ourselves What should be America's foremost New Year resolution?" is the question which the Ob server presented through NEA Service to a number of Americans representative of various natural activities.

A revival of common honesty would transform our land, making the life of all better and happier.

NATHAN STRAUS .philanthropist: To stop the ap palling waste of life. Not by doubtful cures, but by positive prevention of diseases. Foremost among preventive mea sures ranks the pasteurization of the milk supply. It kills the germs of tuberculosis, typhoid, scarlet fever and diph theria ,and pi-events intestinal infection of infants. Pasteur ization has the remarkable quality,, while killing nil noxious germs, of retaining the nutritive and digestive properties of the milk. I make this statement from 30 years of exper- ' ience and results obtained in both hemispheres. Whei-ever milk pasteurization has been introduced, the death rate has fallen as if by magic. : i LUTHER BURBANK, naturalist, originator of now ' fruits and flowers: To work more and talk less.

Sometime Saturday evening an Oldsmobile Four, belonging to Hen Cotner, was stolen from the Roesch Motor compnny's garage. No know ledge of the exact hour it was taken or any clue as to whom may have stolen the car was available and when notified, the sheriff was con fronted with the problem of "find it" without anything to work upon. Nevertheless, the problem W solv ed, or at least that part of it was, for yesterday afternoon about four o'clock, Sheriff l.ee AVarnick discov ered tho car at Union, and it is now back under the wing of its owner, none the worse for wear. No trace of the narties responsible for the theft were found, tho car being isolated when tliscoven:cl and questioning failed to produce any evidence that would lead to the ar rest of the robbers. An investiga tion is still being conducted and the officers aro confident that they will discover the criminals i-hoitiy.
