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

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. ' . ' . -

DETROIT, Nov. 13. (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. "With the achieve
ment of the first great objective
the outlawing of the legalized
liquor traffic in the United States
and the securing of the added
prestige of the ballot our pro
gram of service has been greatly
extended." she paid tribute to the
youth of the land.
f The yooth of today Is alert and
alive, far ahead of any other gen
eration," she said. "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.

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.
