SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1921 : Yaw Enforcement Outlook ~ We hear a good deal about the fail- ure of prohibition to prohibit, but with the announcement of the pass- ing of that famous resort of pleasure seekers in Milwaukee, the Schlitz Palm Garden, we realize that it does, at least in a considerable degree. ~ Friends of prohibition have never heen discouraged by the tales of vio- lation of the prohibition enforcement "act. It is the exceptional law that has no violations, and it would be a most surprising thing were that which for- bids the sale of alcoholic beverages to be operative one hundred per cent perfect. Much has been gained in the thirteen months since the eighteenth amendment went into effect. But "more will be achieved by the plan hat has been rumored as the policy of the new administration to put the duty of enforcement of this law upon he Department of Justice rather than upon the Department of the Treas- ury as has been the case since the enactment of the law. Secretary Daugherty is a prohibi- on friend. He believes in the Eight- eenth Amendment and he believes in e enforcement of a law which has 'been made by the recognized law- aking body and in the recognized and proper way. He will have little patience with a disposition to take htly the obligation to make the aw operative and, it is expected, will tablish precedent that will make 'the way of the violator far less at- tractive than it _has been under the old regime. ;. :! Truthful Fiction is not likely that the next gener- tion of men and women will have ft many of the illusions which have been so cherished in the past. The present trend of thinking among the ~ young people of today, backed by the present fashion in literature, is not conducive: to the keeping of the bloom upon the youth subjected to such influence. It remains to be seen what kind of men and women we shall 'have, but it has never yet been demonstrated thar knowing and rec- ~ ognizing the truth about things has hurt anybody. 4 When the author of one of the six best sellers in the fiction market scored the reading public for its preference for the sacccharine and untrue story to that which depicts life as it is lived he touched a sens- itive spot in the defense of the older "members of the community. The ad- ~ vocate of the "clean" and pretty story who condemns the tale that portrays life without much effort to cover the 'ugly spots will deplore the preaching of such doctrine. The older portion of the younger group, those who are ~ just beginning to sense the lack of truth in the romance which they have frankly enjoyed in the past, will turn with a new interest to the novels that are contributed to the literature of the nation by mén and women who feel their chief duty to their readers to be to tell the truth. "Main Street," the latest work of ~ the lecturer last week, is, in the opin- ion of the writer, a contribution to the missionary literature of the age. It reveals the group cruelty, the com- munity smugness, the littleness of the pulace not only of Gopher Prairie, |like it to which the author refers, || and of the different portions of the towns which have, in population, but not in spirit, outgrown the condition which is so realistically depicted. But it exists wherever there are people of small interests, wherever there are menandwomen whosewhole concern is for the preservation of the condi- tions which chance to be favorable to their own material well-being; there we have Gopher Prairies, whether the setting is the little town on the edge of the rural district, or the little group within the boundaries of the large city. "Main Street" might well be read in every group body, with an intro- spective eye looking to the applica- tion of the truths that it tells to its organization life. CREWS AT HARVARD HAVE MANY RECRUITS Cambridge, Mass.--One hundred and seven candidates reported for freshman crew at Harvard. They were addressed by Captain McCagg of the varsity crew; Dr. R. Heber Howe, head coach of the freshmen, and Burt Haines, his assistant. Ice measurement made on the Charles River show only three inches of ice. It is hoped that the river will be cleared within a few weeks, and save the crews the trouble of visiting Lynn Harbor daily for practice. WOULD YOU SPEND 30c TO SELL THAT HOUSE?

G. BROCHU, Manager North Shore District HOLLAND FURNACES MAKE WARM FRIENDS = Stop Buying Gas and Start Buying Mileage Buying a car that thirsts more than it travels is like hiring a cook who eats more than she earns. And there are far too many cooks and cars that answer to that description. What you want is a car that doesn't have to stop at every gasoline tank for refreshment. And that is the achievement of the Overland with its Suspension Triplex Spring and light alloy steels. It has solved one of the most perplexing riddles of automobile design. It has lengthened the mileage of a gal- lon of gas by burning up distance in- stead of burning up money. | It has reconciled light alloy steels with unalloyed comfort and set luxury and economy on the road together. And yet, great as it is, the Suspension Triplex Spring is only one of many Overland advantages. The world regards it as a new epoch in automobile construction, and it is. But enthusiasm for this marvelous mechanism should not obscure the solid claims of Overland quality. Light alloy steels and the Suspension Triplex Spring are the mainspring of Overland economy. But quality still plays the role of Ham- letin the drama of Overland production. Quality in the steels, selected at the source, checked in the rolling, and in= spected at the plant. Quality in the various parts, built by Overland themselves, and not billed to Overland. by others! ~ Quality in every process of manufacture and assembling, done by Overland and not by proxy. Quality animating the labors of the entire Overland organization and pro- ~ ducing-- - A LIGHT-WEIGHT, LOW-PRICED, EASY - RIDING, SLOW .
