FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1919 Penalties Next What is the proponderance of pub- lic opinion in the United States on the subject of prohibition, has been amply demonstrated in the vents of the last fortnight. As one state af- ter another has ratified the Consti- tutional amendment, it has become increasingly evident to the most doubting Thomas that the American people today believe that it is not! only desirable but possible to estab- | lish the life of the nation upon a foundation of absolute prohibition of | all traffic in alcoholic beverages. How much of this is due to the twenty-five or more years of temp- erance instruction in the schools no one can know definitely. But cer- tainly there is a real relationship be- tween the growth of a generation that has been impressed in early childhood with the bad physical ef- weaving, or similar things which they | pictures to dancing, band music and | these men the very best possible care Articles | for publication should reach this ottice | fold and young. They argue that fects of the consumption of alcohol and the passing of the liquor traffic | from the industries of the United | States. The realization of great in- dustries, conspicuously the railroads, that the habit of drinking any sort of liquor unfits a man for a respons- ible position, has had much to do with it. It has put a money value upon sobriety that perhaps would not have been seriously considered under other conditions. Whatever the causes that have led up to the present desirable state of full prohibition in the United States, there is no question at all of the be- lief of the American people that it is entirely possible to carry on our na- tional life under prohibition laws. To justify that belief it will now be the part of the Congress of the United States to devise the means of enforcing the law, penalties that will make it so dangerous to try to evade the federal law that only the very few will undertake it. It is only the insignificant few who do not understand the seriousness of offending against a federal law that would undertake such a foolish step. The certainty of a heavy penalty ought to be so impressed upon the public generally that there would be only discouragement in the outlook . for any who might be tempted to try his wits against Uncle Sam. Reconstruction It may be interesting to those con- sidering the problem of the discharg- ed men to know that not more than 100,000 out of a total of more than 2,000,000 sent overseas will be re- turned unfit for military service. A statistician attached to the educa- tional service at Fort Sheridan estimates that out of that entire number only twenty-two men will be totally blind and that only about 500 have suffered the amputation of an arm or leg or both. It is estimated that about 10,000 will need re-educa- tion. Fort Sheridan is to be made the largest and best equipped restoration hospital in the United States, accord- ing to Major Fdererick G. Regal, now chief of the educational service there. Counting the new arrivals he now has more than 1000 parients under his supervision and the men are heing treated with a view to cure through occupation. On the theory that idleness is.the worst possible thing for them they are being taught to do work with their hands, such as woodcarving, basket A making, rug may elect. Plans for their amusement are carefully and generously made and include everything from moving a generous provision of reading mat- ter. The War Camp Community serv- ice is active in this respect and there is apparently nothing undone to give that will restore them to normal condition as quickly as possible. Sensational Movies The Illinois Federation of Wom- en's club, representing more than 63,000 women, have issued an edict intoxicants. Their crusade is to enlist every woman's category as club in the state and is to be direct- ed especially against that class of pictures which they term a menace | to the young and the morals of both there is really no demand among the people for the sensational mov- ies while at the same time admitting that the producers have made profit- able a certain type of picture which they claim never should have been LECTURE ON ARMENIA | of the Wilmette Sunday Evening] | menians." Mr. Wiilett was in Ar-| | cently he spoke on this subject be- | fore a meeting of 1000 members of shown. It is asserted that the people have never wanted and do not de- mand this type of picture and that producers and managers are solely to blame for their exhibition. One of the first things to be done will be to demand from the state] legislature a rigid censorship that | will definitely eliminate this class of | pictures. Wilmette has been more than usually free from plays of this sort, | due perhaps to intelligent censorship and to a real desire on the part of the managers to show here only pictures free from criticism. An Historic Incident It is noted in the news columns | that the steamship "Westward Ho" | has sailed from New York to Danzig laden with nearly $2,000,000 worth of food and medicine contributed by American citizens of Polish and Jew- ish origin for the relief of starving Poland. This has historic significance in| that the food is to be sent from Danzig up the Vistula by barges to Warsaw and there it is to be distri- buted under the direction of the United States Food administration, with no regard to the religious affiliations of the needy. The ancient German fortress of Graudenz has al- ways guarded the Vistula and this is the first time in history that anything intended as a present to a Pole will | get by that fortress without the Ger- mans having a word to say about it. Given Preference Three bills have been introduced in the Illinois legislature to give re- turning soldiers and sailors the pre-| ference in civil service examinations | for state employment. A fear has | been expressed in some quarters that | such a privilege would annul the | | civil service enactments and let the "bars down." It would appear that the state civil ! service law which now provides preference to veterans of the Civil war could be amended to include all other war veterans without in any way impairing its efficiency. The house committee on civil service will wrestle with this point, and presum- ably hearken to the demand that effort be made in this line as in i since April, 1917. | either in Wilmette or elsewhere, may others to place discharged men at work as soon as possible, and give them all the preference they have earned by their service. Tight Skirts and Train Schedules Tight skirts are held responsible for the loss of time in train schedul- es, a loss which cannot be made good until the fashions change and women are sufficiently foot-loose to alight from and board trains with that celerity which the upholding of the schedule demands. There are many ways in which the world waits on fashion, but none more literally true than this of the trains delayed because the mode de- crees that skirts shall be so scant in measure as to hinder all free move- ment. One almost wishes that the AT SUNDAY EVE.CLUB Herbert L. Willett Jr., To Present Stereopticon Views of Land Ravaged by the Moslems The first stereopticon address of the season before the joint meeting | club and the Wilmette Church Union | will be given next Sunday evening, January 26, by Herbert L. Willett Jr., son of Dr. H. 1. Willett, who has irequently appeared before Wilmette audiences. The younger Willett has been on the lecture platform for some time and is rapidly achieving a splendid reputation. The subject of Sunday's lecture will be, "Turkey and the Ar-| menia for 2 years and understands clearly the terrible history and prob- lems of that stricken country. Re- the Chicago Association of Com- merce and received enthusiastic support.

Durham. federal fuel administrator for Illinois, last week withdrew all regulations governing the distribution of both hard and soft | coal as well as coke within Illinois. The order means that only coal pro- duced in Indiana and I!¥inens 'can he shipped into the local market. It] also was announced that the domestic consumers' department had been clos- ed, and that in future consumers must depend on their retail dealers | for furnishing an adequate supply of | fuel.

Reception Is Success The reception and dance given last Tuesday evening at the Ouilmette Country club has been pronounced a great success both socially and financially. About one hundred and fifty dollars was cleared, which nount will be turned into a rectory fund for St. Augustine's church. In the receiving line were Messrs. and Mesdames P. M. Bingham, George Springer, H. M. Bourne, G. J. Phii- lips, George White, Ford Jones, Burt A. Crowe, and Frank J. Baker. Jobs for Fighters The management of the North Shore Line has issued orders that any former employe who left to enter the service of the country, must be re-employed at once when he apnlies for work. If there is no vacancy, dis- charged soldiers and sailors must be at once placed on the payroll until a vacancy is found. powers of the Director General might be extended to control and correct this cause of complaint. Aseticism means the practicing of Aseticism termed the extreme practice of the -- simple life. Among the ancient Greeks it denoted the exercise and virtues, or the mastering of] discipline practiced by the athletes desires and passions. It might beland wrestlers.
