Legends of Sanskrit Put in New English Volumes I L1QU0B CHARGE Drunken Driving Refuted by Attorney Who Makes Many Insinuations "Ouilty as charged" was the verdict brought in by the jury try ing the case in the city police court Saturday of Duck Ditmar, charg ed with driring while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. Bert Maeey, council for Ditmar, laid the defense around the point that if Ditmar had been drunk while he was driving, he would not have been able to maneuver his car into the garage at his home. The driveway, it was brought out, is built in such a way that in or der to get the machine into the garage, a curve of nearly a right angle must be passed. - Chris Kowitz, city attorney, put his case briefly, basing his claim for a verdict of guilty on the tes timony of Officers Warren Ed wards, Walter White, George Thomason and George Edwards, all of whom swore that Ditmar was drunk beyond doubt. Ditmar, when on the stand ad mitted that while he was out in the country just before he return ed home at 2 a. m. of the morning in question, had taken "a little shot of moonshine." Whereupon council for the defense admitted in his argument that Ditmar might haTe been drunk, but the prosecution had failed to show that be was drunk while he was driving. Mr. and Mrs. Ditmar, parents of the defendant, testified that they did not believe be was drunk but that they had urged him to go to the station with the officers when they sought to arrest him. Ditmar, claiming that he had to go to work, was at first unwilling to go to the station. During the course of the argu ment for the defense. Attorney Macey declared that Officer White didn't have the nerve to say the CHICAGO A new translationi00 was drunk. He intimated that Officer White had a hidden motive in pressing the arrest. "White's face showed more signs of the effect of liquor than Ditmar's. Perhaps he went to Dit mar's basement looking tor some thing to drink, and didn't find it. and that's what made him sore." Later Macey asserted that "Dit mar's story is more worthy ot be lief than the testimony of all four of the officers." The Jury deliberated for about half an hour, . it being reported that one of the members held out for some time. The members of YOUTH OF LAND UPHELD WCTU LEADERS CHAttMOic LIVES OP YOCXG PEOPLE from the ancient Sanskrit by Ar thur W. Ryder has just been pub lished by the University of Chicago Press. Under the name "The Pahchat antra," the book contains- some of the world's oldest tales, first gath ered more than 1,500 years ago in the Vale of ivashmir and now pre sented in English. Without foot notes and glossaries, the volume is rich in epigrams and verse from which the oriental flavor has not been lost; Weird legends of lions who hold court like kings, scheming jackals and birds which .talk with fishes, are told in the five books of the volume. The opening yarns tell of the broken friendship of Bull Lively and Lion Rusty and insert- f ed therein are numerous stories which dovetail into one another. Every paragraph or so is brok en with a bit of sprgihtly verse, many of which are introductory to a separate legend or allegory. The leader is sent awandering from the original plot for a time but even tually another rhyme brings him back to the main thread of the story. The tales originated in British India and were told by Buddhist monks more than 2,000 years ago. In the sixth century they were translated by a Persia nphysician and during the eighth century they reached Bagdad. Later the stor ies were translated into Greek, Latin, Hebrew, German and French. LaFontaine is said to have relied upon them extensive ly as a source for his fables. The writer had business at the Worcester building - in Portland recently. We were , required to circle about that district for a half hour in trying to find a place to park our car. and. finally gave It up and returned to our. hotel, later walking a dozen blocks to fill the appointment.

(By As sociated Press.) More than 41, 000 women joined the ranks of the Women's Christian Temper ance union during the past year, Mrs. Frances P. Parks of Illinois announced today at the 51st an nual convention ot the national organization. "The work of the WCTU is just beginning." Mrs. Parks declared.

"It has more pep. more vision, more real ambi tion and is doing more than any other before it." Miss Grace Leigh Scott.-field secretary of the social morality department, explained her wors: in the schools, churches and univer sities as "seeking a common sense attitude toward sex and social problems and an equal standard for young men and young Women." "There are, of course, a few members in our organization who are 'conservative' in their thought, perhaps old fashioned. But the majority of these women wish youth to have the knowledge which they perhaps did not pos sess. We have faith in the next generation."

HOARD OF DIRECTORS WAIT ' FOR HIGHER WATER t ,, t i- u The board of directors of the Salem Drainage district created several weeks ago are planning to make an investigation as soon as the water gets high enough to al low the conditions of which the land owners in the territory have complained, according to F. W. Durbin member of the board. Other members are T B. Kay and W. H. Steusloff. The announcement of the ex amination comes as a surprise, as land owners thought the election of Steusloff and Durbin. who seeme jito be opposed to the dis trict, would indicate that the land owners were satisfied to let the matter drop. Durbin declares that the board will do their duty and will con duct a thorough examination of conditions as soon as the time is feasible. wit "Salts, castor oil, pills and other harsh cathartics are bad for children because they act by irritation. They act much like putting pepper in the eyes or nostrils." DR. CALDWELL DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT tAe AGE OF 03 Mother! Never Give Your Child a "Physic" To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Mon ticello, 111., a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated infants, and children had to be kept constantly "stirred up" and half sick by tak ing cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all chil dren's little ills, he did not believe that a sickening "purge" or "phy sic" every day or two was neces sary. In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which regulates the bowels. A single dose will establish natural, healthy bowel movement for weeks at a time even if the child was hereto fore chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel move ment but, best of all, it is often months before another dose is ne cessary. Besides, it is absolutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, bilious, sick child gladly takes it. Buy a large 60-cent bottle at any store that sells medicine and just see for yourself. Adv. Dr. Caldwell's AT, KAFOURY'S i .
