FIGHTING WHISKEY

"Women at the cocktail hour
(after hoisting a couple), want
the men to go to war at once.
At present women In Wash
ington are more belligerent
than the men. One of the gen
tler sex came out in the paper
nd calls men sissies."
A hot wave hit the state yes.
and in several cities citizens
were amazed when the chair got
up when they did.
The nation is united behind
the President's policy of all aid
short of American blood to the
Allies, and preparedness at
home. Also it wants results this
time for vast spending of huge
sums. It will not be delighted
with a war tank yanked out of
a plug-hat, or nagging of Henry
Ford by the lady secretary, in
fulfillment of his promise to pro
duce 1,000 planes per day.

A MERICA is unique among all nations. This
uniqueness arises from the fact that the PEOPLE

their press is free of restrictions that would stultify
clear individual and collective thinking.
Americans are free to worship as their hearts dic

neighbors.
Americans have the good fortune to live in a land
where their personal property and the dignity of their
personal rights are held inviolable.
These, and many others, are the privileges of

the oppressed and persecuted; it symbolizes those
principles of freedom, justice and liberty that stand
forth in sharper contrast than ever before with the
obvious doctrines of other nations.
Flag Day should be but a start of a patriotic re

Much to our surprise we find one ot the shewdest amateur
politicians in Portland agrees with us regarding President
lioosevelt, but not for the same reasons. .In faot, his view is so
original it might be worth quoting. Because of th European
war and the administration's outspoken sympathy for the allies,
he is convinced the smart boys at the. convention won't nomi
nate K. l. li. because the German and Italian vote would be ,
against him. That is a XKW one, and frankly rather spikes the
claim our friend is a shrewd politician. However, that is his
view and that is his local reputation.
We grant it looks more like Koosevelt, candidate for
third term than ever before, still we have a strong conviction
he really doesn't wish V be President for four more years, and
in the final showdown won't be. Xothing, we admit, but a

EVERYONE FOR HIMSELF ABOUT THE CRI
For many years I have been
striving to make the public
spray conscious, believing that
recognition of this usual mode
of infection is
essential for
prevention of

have accepted
or corroborat
ed my observ
ations and teachings so far as
cough-spray and sneeze spray
are concerned, and intelligent
people today have a healthy
fear of this hazard. But I have
never gotten beyond first base
with the profession or the pub
lic in the endeavor to convince
them that ordinary polite con
versational spray to which one
Is more or less exposed in every
day life constitutes a greater
hazard because in the present
state of ethics one never can
tell whether the person with
whom he chats is a conscienti
ous citizen or a scoundrel that
is, whether he or she frankly
acknowledges he has the cri
or tries to conceal it or pass it
off as something harmless.
The censor silenced me when
I sough to teach this principle
of personal prophylaxis to radio
listeners, in a series of health
talks I gave over a national
radio chain; the idea, he opined,
was unpleasant for women and
children.
The reality of cough-spray
and sneeze-spray forced itself
upon popular and professional
consciousness years ago because
any fool could feel and see
the droplets in such spray.
Now, at last, tne reality of
conversational spray may be
recognized, at least by the In
telligent portion of the popula
tion. The other day the lay
press carried news and pictures
showing sneeze spray as pic

THE
CAPITAL
PARADE
By JOSEPH ALSOP and
ROBERT KINTNEP
Rsltastd by th North
American Newspaper
Alliance. Inc.
Washington, June 12. "The
wheel has come full circle, but
perhaps too late." Thus the
situation was sadly summed up
by a wise senator, as he left the
floor Monday to go home, and
to listen to the president's ad
dress to the nation. And thus
the event proved, when the
president spoke.
Th president's address waa aa
clear, bold and magnificently phrased
an utteranc aa any he haa ever
made. Thos who listened to It
hardly need to be told that It waa
an authentic expression of feeling:
the emotion of the man could be
heard, almost, between th sentences.
tt only completes the picture, and
sharpens th contrast with the
strangely petty and hesitating fire
side chat of a few weeks ago. to say
the addreee Is also one of the few
which the president hsa written en
tirely with his own hand. A rough
draft waa prepared Sunday night. In
the heat of espectauon that Italy
would enter the war. After consul
tation with stat department ofn
clala a final version was completed
Mondsy artemoon. In the cold fury
of certainty.
Nor were th president' words
more than a summing up of th ernt
tmenta of the country at larg. Her.
In W'asntngton. In these Isat weeks.
It haa seemed Incredible that nation
al opinion could change so fsst. or
national emotion rlae with such
fore and swiftness. Yet th Incred
ible hsa been made credible; belief
haa been forced, by the constant ex
pressions of opinion with which or.

eter, each droplet laden with
millions of germs. The pictures
of the sneeze indicate that the
range of the spray must be
many feet. I regret that no
picture of conversational spray
was published. But I can state,
with scientific investigation of
'the question to back my teach
ing, that the only difference be
tween sneeze spray and quiet
conventional spray Is a matter
of power conversational spray
carries less than five feet, con
sists of a smaller number of
droplets. Loud or boisterous
conversation, shouting, laugh
ing, has a range of four or five
feet; quieter conversation ordi
narily shoots spray only two or
three feet.

of conversational spray arms
