Wickersham Backs Dry Law Not For Repeal lCONTINUED PROM PAUt ONE > president's message is regarded hr: as his prohibition platform U. 1932—taking the bone dry side an Joining with the Anti-Saloon lea guc and the other organized drys i: demanding that more money bi poured into the enforcement ma chine which, in 19 years, has ab sorbed more han $115 000.000, ex clusive of f urns for cusoms, coast guard, etc. according to data in th< Wlctaersham report. The recommendations in the re port declare against repeal pf the 18th amendment, again* entrance of the government into the liquor business, against manufacture anrij sale of light wines and beer, against broader search and seizure power. They declare for cutting red tapr on physicians' prescriptions of li quor, for fixing the alcoholic con tent of cider and fruit juices, for abolishing independent denaturing plants, n:id for modification, for codification of all dry statutes. The commission declares its opinion that co-operation of the states is Indis- j pensable to the sttccess of enforce ment, that since 1927 enforcemeni i has improved, but admits that there: is no adequate observance or en-| forerment at present. Newton D Baker, former secre-j tary of war, though he signed the ■ recommendations, announces him-! self for immediate repeal of the 13th amendment. Miss Ada L. “.lin stock, president of Radcliffe college, favors Immediate "attempt to change." j Judge Kenyon is for further trU; but states that "if, after such rea sonable trial it is demonstrated that they (the dry laws> can hot be enforced any better than they have in the past ” the Anderson plan should be tried. He advocates a referendum meanwhile on repeal of the amendment. M'nte M. Lemann, of the law faculty of Tulane university, former president of the Louisiana Bar as sociation, sees "no alternative but repeal of the amendment." He, was the only commissioner who failed to sign the recommendations of the commission, holding that he could not ccn.l tently do so. Frank J Loesch of Chicago concludes that prohibition is unenforceable and that “steps should be. taken Imme diately to revise the amendment." Judge Macintosh, Federal Judge William 1. Grubb of Alabama, and Federal Judge McCormick, of Los Ang les, lean toward further trial. Wiekersham Backs Hoover, Chairman Wiekersham aligns him elf almost identically with President Hoover’s position." “I have been forced to conclude,” his ap pended opinion states, "that a fur ther trial should be made of the en forceability of the eighteenth amendment under the present or ganization with the help of the rec ommended improvements."

London, Eng., Jan. 8.—"name Ru mor,'’ silent for so long anont the mat imonial nffr irs of H, R. H. The Prince of Wales, Is about due to limber up her artillery In prepara tion for another barn ge of conjec ture: for Prince Eddie is going on another trip.to South America this time—and the trip will not be a success If "Dame Rumor" fails to provide the love interest. Book Of Brides, The Prince is not, as one Would expect, annoyed at the attentions of ‘dame rumor." On the contrary, every scrap of gossip she has pro mulgated concerning him and “his brides-to-be" has been saved and crrefully filed for inclusion in the most interesting volume of the royal lib ary. H. R. H. calls it his “Book of Brides." Thei'e can surely be no other book quite like It In existence. For it Contains all the newspaper and other publication references from all prrts of the world to his mar riage prospects, and especially the choices made by ‘ dame rumor" of his queen-io-he The "stories" number many hun dreds and cover a period of 'many yens—ever since the prince came to marriageable age, in fact.' Series Of Betrothals. Tire earliest entray records how the, heir to the British throne “Is shortly to be publicly affianced to Princess Victoria Louise, only daugh tre of the German emperor.” If there was any truth in the sug gestion, the great war wrote finis to Eddie’s first romance. Two other early rumors affected the Grand Duchess Olga, eldest dr tighter of the late czar, and the Grand Duches Tit&nia. It Is now gene ally accepted that both were murdered with the rest of Lhc Rus sian royal family by , revolutionists at Ekt te.rinburg. There follow “betrothals” to the Princess Yolanda of Italy, who Is now married to the crown prince of Belgium and will one day be queen of the Belgians instead of queen of Englrnd. Then came rumors of another Anglo-Italtan romance. This time Princess Giovanni was whispered as the future Mrs. Wales. The Prin cess is now the queen of Bulgaria —having recently married King Boris. There are many stories that have appeared from time to time of his "forthcoming engagement t,o a prin cess of the near east.” Not once but many times lias It been publish ed that a match was imminent be tween the prince and Princess II ef.nna of Roumanla. Other Rou manian princess mentioned are Marie and Elizabeth "Dame rumor” next travels to' Denmark, where she selected charm I lng princess Margaret of that coun try as next queen of England. Another selection was Princes* Helen of Greece, who afterwards be came queen of Roumania (an un happy queen) by her marriage to Crown Prince Carol. American Entrants. There are scores of chapters on the prince's book of brides, some reaching the sublime heights of ro mantic imagination, others delving [to the uttermost depths of absurd ! ity. The most absurd are exported from the United States, where the gossips periodically affiance H. R. H. to the daughter of one of our in dustrial "kings.” Free To Wed. It is now generally accepted in England that the prince may marry whom he pleases whether she be of royal blood or a commoner—with one stringent constitutional reser vation. No king of England or heir to the throne may marry a Roman Cath olic. Were he to do so, it would in volve forfeiture of the right of suc cession unless such a union were made valid by special act of pal lia ment. We will leave "dame rumour" to the task of oiling her tongue mus cles for her next campaign in which slue will doubtless provide another entry in the book of brides—this time, mayhap, a bright daughter of the pempasa. I ■ > “Fighting Judge” Of Chicago Tackles Mayor “Big Bill” The Literary Digest. A red-hot mayoralty fight is retir ing higher in, Chicago. ‘•Big Bill the Builder," Mayor William Hale Thompson, also dub bed "Americs V master political showman,” seems to be .staging an other of his historic battles although Chicago papers print reports that the condition of hit health may make it necessary for him to with drew. Opposing him is iliat other pic iuresue figure the "fighting Judge,” John H. Lyle, fifty-eight-year-old crusader against gangster.' They arr battling for the Republican nomination, to be r warded at the primaries on February 24. Two others .who tossed their hats into the Republican ring on the first day tor filing petitions, we read, were Reviewer Charles V , Barrett and Alderman Arthur F\ Iibert. But the nation's interest seems to center in the struggle between the belligerent mighty-voiced Thomp son and the hard-hitting .Judge Lyle • to tile man wno wins tne nomi nation and can boat the Demo cratic candidate in the election on April 7 will go the honor of being i the “World's Pair Mayor." "Such criminals as Capone and his underworld semipolitical crimi nal r Uses should be anihilated," de clares Judge Lyle in a smashing at tack which embodies a pledge to clean out the crooks and free Chi cago of her gongs "itncwn to the country as the originator of the p\iblic-eneniy' list, by which several Agues in Chicago's underworld have been brought to the bar of justice,’’ as the Chicago correspond ent of the New York Times refers to him. Judge Lyle declares thrt every politician who "fronts" for the gangsters, "every public official who aids or abets them in any way. end any judge who resists these dcspoil ers to get- under cover, around or through the courts, should be driven out, of public office"— '“They should be scourged, and the City Hnll and all public buildings should be purged of these racketeer ing activities.” On the subject of crimes, Judge Lyle also says: "The thing that probably lias done more harm to our beloved city, its business interests, and people, has been the ruthless arrogant, un checked feign of terror carried on by criminal gangsters and racket - ees. 'They have hurt our business at home and abroad, and they have terrorized our citizens, visitors and prospective visitors. “Through political influence and money, they have bought immunity from prosecution. "We spend $20,000,000 in Cook County every year to maintain that big machine which is supposed to grind up criminals and dispense Jus tice and equity, There axe about ninety-eight Judges in Cook County, about 1.500 bailiffs, clerks, deputy sheriffs and court attaches, and about 6.000 policemen. “It is ridiculous to assume that all" these officers ol the law can hot suppress and almost totally annihi late the little bands of skulking, cowardly assarins headed by Capone 'Bugs' Moran, Druggan, and McEr lane. “I would appoint the right kind of Civil Service Commission, end then a Chief of Police who would make it so hot for these crooks that they would leave town, unheralded and unescorted before we fairly got settled in our new jobs. “The idea of these crooks walk ing around Clerk and Randolph streets, and through the City Hall, revolver* sticking in their pockets free 'com molestation, is an insult and a challenge to th« citizens of Chicago" As for the Mayor, his announce ment that he would seek his fourth four-year term said: ‘’Bill Thompson, will lay his rec ord down with any candidate. Go to it." "Throughout this term, as through all my political career," he contin ued, "I have stood uncompromising ly for principles that are essentially American and distinctively Republi can—the adherence to which has brought success to the perty, as de parture from these principles always has resulted in disaster.” Then he added: j "Among these principles I men tion the following. “1. America First—Friendly rela tions with all nations, entangling alliances with none. as George Washington laid down the gospel of national life, for all time. *"2. Liberality—As opposed to Prohibition, blue laws, and all the petty Intrusions, autocratic usurpa tions and un-American 'isms' at tempted by long-haired men and home-neglecting women.” "The last time Thompson ran for Mayor,” we are reminded by Mich ael W. Straus, Chicago correspond ent of the New York Evening Post, “it was on the rather unique slogan I'm going to bust King George on the snout and run the English propagandists out of the city’s schools.” This time, the Mayor is running on a platform of all pledges fulfill ed—figuratively, at least—and, as Mr. Straus notes early develop ments in the campaign Include: “A charge of $500,000 personal graft against an opponent,, a $1, 000.000 slander suit against the president, of Chicago's Association of Commerce, official organization Of the city’s business leaders, and a 51,000.000 prize award scheme to ‘double Chicago’s retail trade’ (promptly disowned by State Street's big department stores as lunacy).” The Chicago Tribune, which has been bitterly attacked by Mayor Thompson, says that— "At the moment when Prohibition brought crime resources hithe to; unknown we have had the misfor- i Sound Teeth Depend Upon Sound Health —They Quickly Reflect Deficiencies Elsewhere Promote the General Health and Your Teeth Will Also Benefit, Says Dr. Copeland, Pointing Out Why the Beneficial Food Elements Are Necessary By ROYAL S.

If we had only to eat to 1 i v e, 1 i f e would be sim ple. Dietetic care is part icularly important in tne lormative period, that is, during the pre-natal and infant stages. A plentiful supply of milk, of the mineral - bearing fruits and vegetables, are the chief requirements during this time. To be on the safe side a mother must live by the simple rules of diet and general health during preg nancy Her bahv must have the benefits of breast feeding and direct sunlight. Of course, during the long Winter months, when there Is little sun shine. growing children need the protective vitamins found In cod llver oil. orange and tomato Juice, along with the milk diet.

If he eats candy to his heart's content. If he la permitted tune to find the public defense mainly in keeping of a regime more unscrupulous and incompetent then has ever before occupied the City Hall. "The first duty to ourselves and Chicago is to get rid of that regime, and to replace it with an adminis tration which will have some con science in public affairs, some re gard for the duties to which the voters have called it, and some vig or and competence in the protection of decent citizenship, to say noth ing of the faithful conduct of pub lic business.” to Bit up tate at night. If he spends hi* days playing indoors, instead of out-of doors in the stmshine, then, good mothers, you are laying up future misfortune for your child. Front the time baby's teeth begin to appear they should be cleansed with clean gauze wet with water or salt solution. By the time the child Is three years old he should have about twenty temporary teeth. Now Is the time to begin visiting the den tist, for these teeth will perhaps need repairing. Let a child be the proud possessor of his own tooth brush and dentifrice, and learn to brush his own teeth. The teeth should be brushed sfter every meal. They should be brushed from the gums upward or down ward. not across, in order to remove every particle of food that may lodge between the teeth. Rub the gums every day with a Clean cloth or toothbrush. This hardens the gums and stimulates the circulation there. A child can be easily taught these simple rules for teeth protec tion. Use plenty of hard foods, as well as nourishing foods. The teeth and jaws need exercise as much as do the muscles. Body exercise is neces sary for everyone, even for the baby. Let the baby kick freely. He loves It and needs It. See that the mem bers of your family have all the sun light and fresh air they possibly can. Have even the youngest three year-old visit the dentist at least every six months. Let him find the cavities when they are small and when they can be taken care of painlessly. Everyth! g that can be done to promote the general health should be done, for on it as I have said before, depend sound teeth. Last December (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
