There are some things which we feel that honest irienas and honest foes of prohibition frequently overlook. Now here is what the friends off prohibition may for , get: the object of prohibition is to Suppress the evils of alcoholism. The purpose was not merely to get the 18th amendment frozen in the constitution; and not just to close the doors of saloons. The definite bject was to root out or at least to greatly minimize the consumption of alcohol, and particularly to shut it off from growing youth. The 18th amendment and the Volstead act were mere tools with which to effect this purpose. Thisir virtue must be measured by their success in suppressing' the evils of alcoholism and this virtue must be discounted by whatever evils prohibi tion itself may have made possible, such as bribery, poison liquor deaths and such. j. ' j. Another thing which prohibitionists must realize and thati that sumptuary legislation must rest for its sup port upon the approval of a positive majority of the people. - American reverence for law is not sufficient to make such .legislation self-enforcing; it must be backed up by staunch public sentirrient. That is why prohibition has on the whole succeeded in Oregon; and why it has if ailed in a city like New York. . , ' : j ) .; v Now here is something that the honest wets should reflect upon: the mainspring of the liquor business has been commercial profits rather than mere appetite. Outside of a comparatively few old soaks, the majority of drinking men could get along quite satisfactorily) without liquor. But it is constantly thrust upon them, either socially or by the .salesman. Liquor law violations have grown more because of the lust for profits than thjs taste for liquor. We have never known anything quite so insatiable as the lust for profits on the part of liquor manufacturers and dealers.) Wets themselves admit that aril promptly say that they dpi not favor the return of the open saloon. But the op ening f government liquor stores does not do away with profits in liquor. There still would remain' the temptation to illicit manufacture and to bootleg.; Sales' would be made out of hours, or to minors, or to those whose 'books' have been taken from them, or at "cut-rate" : It is not enough to control" liquor you 'have to control this lust for profits which debauched the liquor business, corrupted local and state politics, and provoked the revolt that resulted in prohibition. And any proposals for modi fication! or repeal of present laws must (show how this lust for profits5 will be effectively! thwarted j : On; a subject so hot as the liquor i question, it is per haps too much to call for cool, clear thinking. But this question in the end must be solved by bur intelligence and not by our emotions. .1 HEALTH By It. 8. Copland, TU IV Putting Prophecy to fflHE Statesman's Monmouth; correspondent is either naive l or gayly cynical when she writes "Monday's springlike weather I and annsnlne, which will render the groundhog's traditional cavorting -obvious,, brings to mind some weather prophecies of early autnmii." ! j j 1 Asicertain also of our own poetsi have said: "Why Test and refers to what bring that up?" But Mrs. Craven does. the Indians said last fall, that this would be a hard,' hard ( winter; and the testimony of the squirrels j and chipmunks was introduced in evidence that snow and cold would long envelop the land were i they not more provident than is their wont? and perhaps their fur was longer; or was it . that the bark on the trees was thicker 6r the moss heavier than usual? 1 - . j I Why now embarrass the bid Indian or tthe field mice or the alder tree? Why mention the fact; that crocuses bloomed in January and farmers plowed, and cats started shedding? Why quote the temperature! statistics and-re- . mark on the absence of frost! to say nothing of snow and . ice? Why jibe at the groundhog who presumably did his best . to invite the north wind to disport itself in the WU- lamette valley? Are we not happy enoujh without dwelling upon what must be "gall and "wormwood j to the hard-winter "propheteera"? j j '. : -r-..:.'- ;f-. J Our capable Monmouth correspondent doubtless is fully aware that people must be supplied with !long range weather forecasts. The trained scientists of 'the weather bureau will not venture more than a fewi days ahead; and Dr. Hicks and Dr. Foster no longer produce their almanacs (or do v they?). So the first settlers and the Indians must be de pended upon Jto supply the demand. And the only way-atten tion may oe gained is by prophesying the unusual. The y wintermust be long and cold (or warm and open) ; the summer must be extremely dry (or excessively wet), v And the mass of the people who enter the season under such fear may always be counted on to forget before the season ends, just what the forecast was. Mrs.- Craven may laugh to herself about the failures of the old Indian or the wrong guess of the souirrel and the badsrer. but she should be more gentle than to chide them over their shortcomings. Besides she might raise some element - of Doubt in the minds of the people; and that Would never do. The point which. Father Keenam raises recardiar frea text. books 1s "not well takes.'

"Chorea, or "Saint Vttss Dance, 'as It is commonly call ed, is a disease, of the nerrous ayatenv It oc curs m eariy school life, us- ally among girls neiween, five and 15 years of age. ' That exact cause of this disease Is : not known.- It is usually ' assocl ated w I t h acute rheums- tic - f erer , and heart disease. Over- pressure In school work is often an important factor. Anemia In children must be considered as a factor,1 because most of the cases show very dis tinct Wood changes. Chorea may follow as a complication of any of the Infectious diseases. "This is particularly true of scarlet fe- ver and typhoid fever. The disease, comes on slowly. Quite often the child Is accused merely of being "nervous. If at school it Is noticed that he Is hav ing difficulty In writing or draw ing. At home the child is contin ually, dropping things, has diffi culty in feeding and dressing himself. At times the feet tail, and there Is stumbling, with fre quent falls and ' difficulty la climbing stairs. In other cases the spasm ts fa the face. Uncon sciously, he makes grimaces, for which the poor child may be pun ished. When ; the disease is fully de- ? -eloped the movements eharac eristic 'of this ailment are un mistakable. ' There are Irregular and jerky" motions, -varying from tn occasional muscular twitch ing; to almost constant agitation. ! Excitement, fatigue and - em barrassment, or any effort on the part of the child to control these movements, increases them. Dur ing sleep the movements - disap pear. Unfortunately, these children are brought to the physician's at tention weeks after the onset of the disease.. Upon the first sign of suspicion of chorea the child should, be taken to a doctor. If neglected the condition back of this disease may injure the heart. j Children with chorea- should not he permitted to attend fichooLThey should receive plen ty of fresh air, nourishing foods and adequate rest. Such children should never, bo ridiculed or pun ished because of the movements they cannot -help: They cannot control them, and. as I have said. any effort on their, part to do so increases the movements. In severe cases the rest treat ment is Imperative. This means placing the child , in bed, where complete mental and physical rest may be obtained. . This, per haps, may be best accomplished In s hospital. ' ,v : - This disease has a tendency to recur, particularly in the spring raonths.NChlldren who hare had one attack should be watched carefully, particularly after they have - returned to school. They should not bo forced to do too much school work, and should be given frequent vacations. -! - j Yesterdays ; j ...

Then what will Happen T She watched Laura fling her self into her long sports road ster and drive furiously away; she i watched Reynolds and Wal ter and En move off to the li brary and still she lingered in the: morning sunshine, ponder ing the lies she had heard. First there was the butler's lie last night about a robbery; lie In which the maid, Jane, concurred, after he bad pat the story in her mouth. Then Mary hadn't told tne truth this morning; she had said that 'she and Ted went directly home and remained there where as first Imogens and now Laura Allan declared they had seen her here fan hour later. Then either Imogene or Jane had lied about the ouarrel in the Baroness dressing room and now Laura Allan had lied about wearing Mary Frost's shawl, for surely Imogene would have bo object In teUlng that story if it were "not true. Lies lies and why? : - - , - ' Because. Blm eoncinded tnere had : been more going on in the Pine Hill crowd than met the eye more . than she suspected more, no doubt, tnan anyone suspected. With- a sensation of tnings crashing all about Blm wond ered it it were her Illusions fall-ing-j-she strolled thoughtfully around to the west wing and paused at the edge of the ra vinei gaxlng down the Tine-cov ered rocks. TT-en she wanaerea around the other way,, lingering on the- southern terrace and rin ally i striking out through the grounds toward tne wan as toe back of Eagle's Nest. Em hail telenhoned tne irents. who had promised to stop by on theiri way to the village vhere they had made an engagement for luncheon: ; bow,- while they waited, Walter and Reynolds would be In the- library going over the evidec to, or lack of It, gathered so far a tedioua pro cess ia which Blm had no wish to share. Giving the summer nouse wide berth, she made her wsy nn the hill and finally came to a stile, up which she climbed to settle herself e tie wail. Oa toe other aide ot the wail ia a narrow, nrlvate road, run ning along the southwestern end of the estate. The roaa aaav neen chopped out . of the woods at groat trouble and expense and covered with loose pebbles which sprinkled trees and . shrubbery and the long grasses growing all about them with : dust as fine and white: as flour. Blm stared at the road, and the- whitened verdare and gave herself up to thoughts ot the confusion likely to be stirred tn KingeUffe by the chance visit of the Baroness the unknown woman whose life had touched KIngcllffe lives so brief ly and with what promised to be such : disastrous effects baf or it was snuffed out with a 'bullet. Musing thus, Blm neve -titleless was sufficiently alert to wonder idly at tire tracks in the white dost of the road. She . had sup posed that nothing came on this road excepting - the light- wagon which -the- gardener.. Terrance OToole, drove behind a3at old dobbin back and forth between Lowland drive, and the ravine. Yet -the. tlrr-traeks "were - dis tinct ' where the . dust . had . been pressed down beneath the-weight of a car and there were two sets of ' them, 1 showing t that the car had run as far as the stile and then backed away. Those which would have been made by the left rear and the right front wheels showed smooth places where the rubber, no doubt, was worn; the . left front tire had been new, for . the-prints it left were deep and sharp while un marked depressions . attested ' to the ancient state of the right tire. vNiV, .v ;A While Bim was speculating on the Identity of a driver, so fool hardy as to take this ' steep, bumpy road, she heard a crackle in.
