8T. PAUL A ml it w J. Vul.
Bti'iiU. "father, of the dry law,"
has derided that the time will
ni'vor eoine when a person e.uinnt
Ht an intoxicating drink if hd
waiitn It.
Perfect prohibition Ih as impob
filble aa perfect proventiun of mur
der or robbery, lie say.
(Jotting him to comment upon
himself 01 the cause ho ospouised
Is a task rcMiiii'ihK patience. Hi
shuns publicity, and for Unit rca
- fcon the country that has cuino to
repaid his namo aa synonymous
with prohibition, has lost truce of
him.
Six days a week the tall, puro
man of 70, grey-haired, wr Ink ted
and seldom ainiliiiK. is at hiu desk
tit the northwest prohibition en
forcement headquarters hero. Ho
Is tho legal adviser.
Volstead, an chairman of the
judiciary committee, of the lower
hoiiHO of cont'tCHs, led in the draft
ing of the prohibition enforce
ment act in 11)19. Later ho waa
defeated for re-election.
Out of his experinces In the
enforcement bureau, Volstead has
reached some conclusions. There
always will be liquor for those
who want it, he believes; "home
brew" often is more poisonous
than moonshine; the sale of malt
and hops combination should be
banned; the buyer is as morally
guilty as the sclloi and tho cafe
or hotel serving "set-ups" Is mor
ally violating the law.
Volstead holds that prohibition
has brought great prosperity to
tho average man; has reduced
drunkenness and poverty; has
made remote a temptation and
raised the social standards of a
nation. He thinks Great Britain
eventually will try prohibition, and
other European countries will fol
low. He has no patience with the
claim that prohibition Is un at
tempt by law to regulate morals,
and therefore illogical.
"Uiw does regulate morality."
he observed, somewhat heatedly
for such a taciturn individual.
"lw has regulated morality since
the Ten ; Commandments were
given.
"Personal liberty has been taken
away, cry the wets. Personal
liberty also was taken away by
the quarantine laws, and the right
to steal was taken away by the
quarantine laws, and the right to
steal was taken away by the law
against larceny. '
"The American public has to an
swer only the question as to
whether prohibition Is tho ibest
known method of eliminating
drunkenness,' nut whether leh law
Is perfect.
"Granting some basis af truth to
the claims of the wet press and
thorn blackening the character of
our young people for a selfish in
terest, wo contend thaL the young
people of today and most of those
drinkers who arc not the class re
cruited front saloon days aro oc
casional drinkers, and never will
Require the habit of drunkenness.!
Volstead stopped abashed. He
had talked longer than he intend
ed. . Ho could have made a for
tune writing books and for maga
zines, but preferred comparative
obscurity. Ho onco had a good
offer to do nothing but sit on a
platform so persons could look at
the author of the Volstead act
ut so much per look.

'A FACT FIVE YEARS AGO AND STILL A FACT TODAY
"Out of a clear sky, the Chrysler has brought the motor car
industry to the point invariably reached in any industry of

t A economic importance. mat is tne point wnere revolutionary
:7 yTI improvements and advancements begin to render the original

WHAT CHRYSLER HAS DONE
It is hard to recall the day when there
were no Chrysler cars; difficult to re
member a time when the flashing
Chrysler wings had not yet appeared on
the world's highways. And yet,' that was
not so long ago only five years, in fact.
Where it has taken the average automo
bile ten to twenty-five years of gradual,
plodding growth to achieve public
acclaim, Chrysler has risen swiftly to a
foremost and topmost place in the
industry in less than five short years!
What Chrysler has done is without
parallel. Overnight, a name became a
symbol of speed, quality, beauty and
safety. At Christmas, 1923. the
Chrysler emblem meant nothing in the
public mind. By Easter, 1924, it had.
come to stand for leadership a claim
undenicd to this day.
Fads come and go. Some motor cars
have their brief hour of popularity and
then are forgotten. Chrysler's unprec
edented leap into a position in the van
of the industry was neither forced nor
accidental. That place was won by
inherent worth and undeniable value.
Today, Chrysler is firmly entrenched at
Jthc top, offering the finest performance!
y in its history. A ride is a revelation.
