The Wages of Sin
The Portland Journal may not bo able to locate the Ku
Klux Klan or find graft in the Portland police department,
but it can always point a moral to adorn a tale. Right al
ways triumphs, virtue reaps its just reward, the hero is
triumphant and villian discomfited in its sentimental col
umns. The Journal tells a pathetic story of a local tragedy. A
futher of five little children, living in a suburban shack, can
not make both ends meet. In the phraseology of the Journal
Tho father turns to a still to bring shelter to his family. It is
in operation. Tho children aro asleep. The still explodes, and tho
tluder-llke house, tho'faritily borne, bursts into flames. The mother
rescues one child. Tho father fulls, with his two beloved children,
a victim -to the still that he had unlawfully set In operation.
Poverty Is a dreadful thing. But taw violation Is worso. That was
proven Monday when the father and two children fell victims to the
ravaging flames ignited by the forbidden still.
Sounds like the pleasing pious platitudes of the unoffi
cial spokesman of the White House. Poverty is bad, a
"dreadful thing," almost a crime. But the wages of sin, that
is, violation of the Volstead act, is dciith. "That was proven
conclusively and for all time when the law violator and child
ren fell into the flames where they perished miserably as
examples to future generations of sinners.
Who can fail to grasp the lesson or heed the warning? A
fiery pit, not only figuratively but literally awaits. the moon
shiner for the forbidden still has taken the place of forbidden
fruit as the cause of paradise lost, under the new dispensa
tion of the prophet Volstead.
Our Federal University
An illustrated poster received 'from Secretary Work of
the department of the interior brings forcibly to mind the
rapid growth of paternalism in the nation. The department
is described as "a federal .university for the people." In its
own language
lis mission largely educational, devoted to the discovery and
dissemination of knowledge; Its curriculum covors many fields of
learning; its faculty Includes hundreds of scientists, specialists and
professional men; its student body the pcoplo of the United States
Illustrations cover work in education, in engineering, in
geology, in botany, in zoology, in chemistry, in anthropology,
in geography, in psychiatry and research. Each of these
titles covers a score of related and unrelated activities, edu
cational and otherwise, which through cooperation with
states are gradually being extended to cover the entire
country and place education under federal bureaucratic con
trol.
Almost as much educational work is under supervision of
the department of agriculture and the proposed department
of education with a cabinet head, would complete the federal
ization of our school system and enable the administration in
power to dictate both as to curricula and faculties. Thus it
would be possible eventually to color the thoughts, form the
opinions and guide the rising generation as desired along the
paths of religion, politics and prejudices in the effort to mold
mass thinking.

Mary waa sitting In tho Lewis'
living room, talking with lnt Ham
ilton, when Hilda Lewis camo hur
rying In. her husband following
her. ftlnry thought thoro was annoy
anno In tho glunco Hilda gave her,
but did not rcnlize that sho hnd
stolen Hilda's thunder by meeting
tho Mront Mr. Hamilton first.
"Oh, Mr. Hamilton, I'm so glad
to meet you!" eho gushed, In a
voico quite different from her nnt-
ural one. "Jim hns talked ho much
nkotit you, and tho good times you
uod lo have together when you
wort1 boys."
Jim fioomcd to be rather em bar
rnsacd by his wifo'a manner; ho
greeted Hamilton gruffly, nnd slid
Into a chair by Mary's side. Hilda
took iiottHoaslon of Hamilton, nnd
Mary uw that sho was trying hard
to tmtko an Impression on him.
Flunlly Hamilton simgoatod that
thoy start. "I don't want to rush
you pcoplo," lr added, "but I re
Bonvd a tablo at tho Carlton, and
wo'M wint to got to tho Jheatra on

"Hut we'll have Hmo for a cork
tall first, flurely," urged Hilda
' "Jim, dear "
Jim went out to the kitchen, re
turning with a cork-tall shaker
wrapped In a. towel; na he wn
shaking it. Hilda explained that
their bootlegger had just got some
particularly good jin, nnd that
Jim made such n good Martini
Mary, knowing that tho only thing
tho Lewises ever had to think was
the beer which Jim's mother made
wondered why Hilda mado such ati
effort. When tho cockti.il wera
p.isncd sho saUl she didn't care for
any.
"On tho water wagon?" Hamil
ton naked.
"I've never tnated a cork-tall,"
Mary explained. "I don't drink,
anyway."
Hilda raised her eyobrowi In dls
pleanure. but Hamilton laughed
and patted Mary on the shoulder.
"You'ro a wlso child," he told
her. "Let liquor nlnne till there
aren't any other thrllla left."
A few moment s later, when
Mary followed Hilda back to tho
bedroom to get her vanity bag.
Hilda iw fit to give her a word
of advice.
'You'll have to be more sophfs
' tented, Mary, If you expect to gei
long." sho aald. 'Of courso It's,
II right for you not to drink with1
the kind of pcoplo you usually so
out with, but when' you're with
anybody llko Pat Hamilton you
just have to llvo up to what they
do. Not that I bollova In drinking
a lot, anything like that, but
you mustn't be so backwoodsy.
Try to pretend you're used to hav
ing cocktails before dinner and all
that sort of thing, even If you
aren't."
Mary blushed hotly. Hamilton
must havo thought her a perfect
fool! And yet, somehow, she
couldn't feci that she wanted to
imitate Hilda's manner. She look
cd at Hilda, at her hair, that was
bobbed just a llttlo too short, and
had been rinsed with just a little
too much henna, at nor plucked
eyebrows nnd over-rouged lips,
and told hersolf that sho didn't
want to be sophisticated 'to that
extent!
They had wlno nt dinner, somo
Vat Hamilton had brought with
him. Mary, anxious to bo whnt
the others wanted hor to be, sipped
hers, and loved tho tingling, ex-
hllirating feeling that followed.

Mary felt like part of a gorgeous1
picture. How often she had sat at
home and heard "the dinner mimic
from the Italian room of the Carl
ton" over the rod lot And now she
was right there, in the scene which
she had iipaglned so many times!
She could not resist peeping Into
another mirror aa they stopped
near the door while the men got
their huts from the check girl.
Pat Hamilton had stepped up close
behind her before she realized It.
'You look perfectly beautiful.

tho sight for a tired business man

Mary wished that she knew Just
the right thing to eay to him -
something funny and flippant that
would make him laugh. She folt
awkward, embarrassed, tl was a
relief to -find that she was to sit
with Jim at the theatre Hilda

found that tho four seats were not

down the isle with Hamilton.
But Mary was glad that h eglanccd

he went.
The show was a smart musical
comedy, which would have de
lighted Mary ordinarily. Eut to
night she could not keep her
thoughts on It, They went flying
to Pat Hamilton. Did ho really
like her, or was he just being nice
to her? Where could thoy go to
dance afterward? Would It come
up to her dreams as the Carlton
had?
And what fun It would be al
ways to go to such places, with a
man as much at home in them as
Hamilton was.
As they waited for a taxi after
the theatre Hamilton took her
arm. His hand closed firmly over
the bare flesh, and Involuntarily
Mary shivered, drawing away from
him.
'Come back here!" Ho laughed
arid drew her nearer to him.-
"What's the idea, trying to run
away'"
"Oh, no Just hoping for dis
tance that will lend enchantment,"
sho answered.
"As If you needed to do that.
You know how much I like you
how lovely you are."
Mary did not know what to say;
she laughed ud at him over her
shoulder, and stepped Into the
waiting cab hastily. Hilda whis

"You've made an awful hit with
Hamilton," sho said. "He's worth
knowing, too. He's a big man In

you all during the show; wanted
to know who you were and all
about you."
Mary, her face turned to the
window of the cab, smiled happi
ly. Of cour.se. It would have been
nicer, lots nicer, to go out with
Stewart, but this was ever so much
better than nothing! This was a
dream como true.

Persistent cqughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them
now with Creomulsion, an emulsified
creosote that is pleasant to take. Creo
mulsion is a new medical discovery
with two-fold action; it soothes and
heals the inflamed membranes and in
hibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by high medical authorities as
one of the greatest healing agencies for
persistent coughs and colds end other
forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion
contains, in addition to creosote, other
healing elements which soothe and heal
the infected membranes and stop the
irritation and inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stomach, is ab
sorbed into the blood, attacks the scat
of the trouble and checks the growth
of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
bronchitis and other forms of rcspira
tory diseases, and is excellent for build
ing up the system after colds or flu.
Money refunded if any cough or cold ia
not relieved titer taking according to
directions. Ask your druggist. Creo
