The Knox law, governing the aale
of liquor In thla atate, haa been de
clared conatlutlonal by the supreme
court. Two problema arlne: (a)
What about the bootlegger; (b) what
about the high prrce of liquor? The
bootlegger ahould be no sacrod ox.
If caught, he should be pickled away
ln the penitentiary and hie fate not
made an excuse to vote against the
Incumbent aherlff, or the basis of a
civil war. The price of liquor will
always be too .high and not worth
the coat. People voted repeal for tho
revenue; not because aomebody was
thirsty or had a cold. Those who
can't or won't pay the price ahould i
not use the bootlegger as the me
dium of. a cheap drunk. If the boot
legger la found guilty, he should be
detained In the hoosegow, not pa
roled to plant more corn to make
more moonshine. If the state can't
prevent competition from lawless ele
ments, It needs a dictator.
Will this mark the end of the president's honeymoon, or the
end of Lindyf Probably neither, for when all the facts are
known it MAT be clear that both were right.
With the air mail situation plainly in a mess, inexcusable
greed if not actual graft, involved, the president undoubtedly
decided that there had to be a new deal all around, and the
only way to get one was to sweep the boards clean, start out
all over again. It was drastic action, but he saw no other way.
Lindy, a paid executive of one of the largest air mail com
panies involved was undoubtedly ordered by his employers to
step into the breach and give the companies' side of the question.
This he did. And what he said was true. The order was unjust
to those companies who had played fair, it did violate the basic
principle, that innocence is assumed until guilt has been proved.
But in times of crisis, it is often impossible to avoid injus
ticeto prevent the innocent suffering with the guilty, the
supreme consideration being the public welfare.
President Roosevelt did what he did as president of the
country, Colonel Lindbergh did what HE did, as a private
citizen, devoted to the best interests of aviation, and the good
standing of the company employing him.
Their views were in conflict, but it is not unlikely that had
their roles been exchanged, each would have taken the stand,
the' other did.
Motored over to Hollywood to see Garbo and Gilbert in
Queen Christina at Grauman's Egyptian. The theatre was
packed as usual and also as usual the prologue this time prin
cipally singing, juggling and dancing was alone worth the
price of admission. The film is distinguished principally by two
things most beautiful photography and the change in John
Gilbert's voice. The last time wo saw John in the tnlkies his
voice was terrible, siieeky, tight, strangely colorless. In this
picture it is as resonant and vibrating as Lawrence Tibbct's.
Only goes to show the movies can do ANYTHING. They can
lift faces, remodel noses, change voices, put inches on or take
them off. In short they can find a workable substitute for
everything but brains.
Meanwhile Garbo is gallivanting somewhere with her direc
tor of the unpronounceable name which all the newspaper boys
declare is merely a press agent stunt to arouse public interest in
tho film. Judging by the crowd at yesterday's matinee it is
working. And such a jaunt is rather in character with the film.
One gains the distinct impression that during the queen's reign
the 7th commandment was not regarded as nearly as important
as the first.

BASAL MKTABOLISM TEST IN PLASTIC StrKiEBY

and ln certain hypertrophic scars
has been almost a specific."
Keloid la the name doctors give to
excessive formation of scar (hyper
trophic means overgrown). Often the
heaped up scar has flnger-llke pro
jections Into the surrounding normal
skin, resembling a claw the term ke
loid la derived from a Greek word
meaning claw. Patient sometimes
complain of a clawing sensation. Cer
tain individuals seem particularly dis
posed to develop excessive scar from
trifling Injury. Even from a pimple,
or from electrolysis of heir follicle, or
from Insect bite. In a few Instances
keloids spontaneously disappear after
a year. As a rule they remain per
manently. However, x-ray or radium
treatment will usually convert them
permanently Into flat flexible white
scars. Skilled plastic surgery la the
ideal treatment where thla la feasible.

BY CCC AT CAMP RAND
With a well-prepared lecture, i
eompanled by three rolls of film, H.
Petri of the personnel department,
CCC district headquarters, Monday
evening presented an Interesting pro
gram on the making of paper to the
COO men at Camp Rand Ranger sta
tion. A number of person residing
nearby wtre also In attendance.
In addition to the picture on the
screen, Mr. Petri had a comprehensive
display, showing the wood In the vari
ous forms through which It passed,
ln order to appear In a piece of paper.
A complete description of the
"barking" of a tree, to remove all ,he
bark, the washing of the log, and
their passage through steel discs with
sharp knives, to cut the logs Into
chips. Mr. Petri explained In his talk
and later illustrated with movie., how
the chips are conveyed to a tall build
ing, where they are placed in bins,
known aa digesters, which are from
90 to SO feet high and 48 feet In
diameter.
Cooking of the chips, in order o
separate the fibers Is another process
which was explained to th men. The
mass of fibers are then blown Into
pit, then placed on various screens.
Th product, Mr. Petri told the
group. Is bleached by chlorine gas.
He told what a small amount ot color
ts needed to chance the shades of
the mixture In large vats.
The photographs, taken at a laiyr
paptx nuu in Maine, showed tut trees
being cut down, sent down stream to
the mill, and the various processes
tnrough which the material goes be
fore It is a finished product.
A chart waa displayed by Mr. Petri
which showed the various types of
