WASHINGTON WET BUT DRINKS IN PRIVATE Once more the city of Washington, Tbirthplace of the Volstead Act and the Eighteenth amendment, is being upbraided for failing to serve as a snodel of enforcement far the rest of the United States. Senator Howell, a ruthless dry, said recently that the drinking going on was a scandal, whereupon President Hoover invited lhim to give names and places. The senator hedged. But certain other senators said that they had knowl- edge of drinking parties, and of one in particular where a Wall street nnagnate gave a dinner to several leg- islators and supplied each of then with a flask of liquor. Another sen- ator, said to have been present, when interviewed, was unable to recall the incident. He was, of course, lying like a gentleman and would, we pre- sume, choose to perjure himself rather than lay an information a- gainst a (host. A good many people are like that in Washington as well as in other places, which is one of the reasons it has been found so dif- ficult to enforce prohibition and why fnanestigations get nowhere. The business of enforcement in Washington is perhaps more difficult than in any other city of equal size. Bootleggers and senators do not dif- ffer to outward seeming and police are naturally reluctant to arrest sen- ators on suspicion or in any way in- terfere with them. It should be un- derstood that Washington is what the jlate Dr. Ryerson called a "political eunuch." Nobody casts a vote there. `The city government is directly under the charge of commissioners who are appointed by the president. The Con- gress is in effect the city council. The policeman may safely infer that three out of four people whom he encoun- ters on the street have political pull of some sort or know somebody who Inas, and naturally to meddle with people who have political influence is snot the easiest way to promotion and pay for policemen anywhere. An- other difficulty is that there are 10,- 000 0;®00 people connected with the various embassies who have certain special ,rights in the matter of importing and onsuming liquor.

We arg informed by Eugene Thacls- irey, however, that the legation liquor Is eonsiianed by comparatively few Washington citizens. The general pub lic demand is met by beer manufae. tared secretly from ingredients that are openly and legally sold, by syn- thetic gin and by a so-called "Mary- land rye" which costs $b a gallon de- livered, or $3 a gallon when bcught from its place of origin about sixty miles away. This is crude, harsh stuff of course, but is intoxicating. The, gin is made by adding a drop or two of juniper essence to a gallon of raw alcohol. Since gin does not need to be aged, the stuff compounded ' by amateurs is much better in quality than swamp whiskey. Alcohol can be bought for $10 to $12 a gallon. A year ago it was $8. Then the Jones law, with its savage penalty of 'five years' imprisonment and fine of $10,- 000, drove the price to $20, from which it' has gradually subsided with alcohol apparently more plentiful than ever before. Washington as an inland city has reconciled itself to doing without liquor smuggled across the border or imported from abroad. Unlike most other cities of corres- ponding size there is no red light dis- trict in the capital. It disappeared be- fore the coming of prohibition. There are no night clubs, and pleasure seek- ers have to be content with half a dozen roof garden dance floors. But there is little public drinking because the proprietors of the dance halls have .been so awed by police threats that some of them refuse to supply ice in empty glasses for fear some patron might add liquor and not only bring his own soul to perdition but bring the proprietor to the hoose- gow. For these reasons Washington is a city where the greater part of the drinking and carousing goes on in the homes and offices. It is there- fore difficult to say just how wet it is. Washington, too, has a faculty for stifling scandals as is proved frim the fact that while girls have leaped from the windows of both the house and senate office buildings following drinking parties, the affairs were smothered without any flaring up of public indignation. Soon after Mr. Hoover was inaugur- ated and it became known that his desire was that Washington should be dry some daring hostesses ventured on the experiment of serving dry din- ners and failed to offer cocktails be- fore the guests were seated. But after two or three attempts it was agreed that this was carrying things a step too far and now the homes that were moist under Coolidge are again moist. Drinking goes on much as before, though perhaps with a little more care exercised as to where the drink s taken. We need not expect again to hear the crash which re-echoed hrough the United States when a waiter in the senate restaurant drop- ped a bottle of brandy on the floor t the breakfast hour, with everybody trying to look out of the window. Washington police make perhaps the verage number of arrests for viola- tions of the liquor laws but Washing- ton courts seem to .be more than usu- ily crowded. Since the more severe enalties have become law, accused rsons naturally fight harder— hich means longer—to escape con- iction. Cases are long drawn out nd the waiting list increases. t a a a p pe w v a If you are troubled with constipa- tion take Gallagher's Herbal Tonic. Its action is not lessened by continued use.

FAMOUS GERMAN AUTHOR SENSITIVE AND MELANCHOLY We have already given our opinion about "All Quiet on the Western Front," and some biographical details of the young author, Erich Maria Re - marque, but an interview with him in a Berlin literary magazine, translated in the Boston Transcript, is the excuse for somewhat extending our original remarks. But an apology is hardly necessary. Here is, in at least one respect, the most extraordinary book ever written. We refer to circulation. It has been off the presses less than a year, and more than a million and a half copies have been sold. It has been translated into several lang- uages, and stage and screen rights have been in great demand. In the United States, where a sale of 100,000 copies of a novel marks an unusual success, "All Quiet ..on the Western Front" has sold to 240,000, while in Germany, at last reports, the sale ex- ceeded 800,000. So the hook booms along to what the financial editor would call "new highs." Probably a couple of million copies will be sold before public interest in the book and its author abates. The success of the book, we learn, has left the author, who is just 31 years old, quite unspoiled. In fact it has disappointed him. He has not been permitted to enjoy in his own fashion the satisfaction and delight which his triumph warrants. Instead he has been slandered, misrepresent- ed and dragged into political disputes. As a literary critic, and especially as a critic of his own work he is easily the worst we ever heard of. For ex- ample, when asked to what he attri- buted the tremendous sales, he re- plied, "Nothing but the fast that it is non-political • that it is a book with- out a special ,program." We confess when reading the book we had newer considered -whether it load a political slant or was designed to point a moral. But in Germany things are different, and that has been one of Itemarque's troubles. Vis reasa mmnja r 1i "Fanny's l 1rst"s Play" how dumb. a* Vere Vban VW.

Remarque then has been the object of much tole - representation and even vilification, It was alleged t t Ms name was not Remarque but Kremer, though at this. distance we are unable to determine just how odious and injurious this charge may have been. Then it was said that he was a French Jew. It was further alleged that he was too young ever to have seen fighting. On the other hand it ,wasrepresented that he was too old. pne circumstan- tial story was that he had filched the diary of a dead icomrade and battened on it. Another story was that he had written a book about cocktails. Still another made him the author of a book dealing with life in a brothel. All these false charges were made, he says, simply because his book is non-political, and that no political camp in Germany can draw any nour- ishment from it. Remarque admits that he did write an article about cocktails in the years when he was making his living as a journalist and advertising solici- tor. He also wrote about motor tires, folding boats and whatever other sub- jects whose sale he was engaged in promoting. It was also alleged against .him that he was the son of rich parents and had lived a life of luxury which presumably disqualified him from describing what he saw on the western front. In the course of the interview, Mr. Remarque tells us how the (book came to be written. It also shows what happened to millions of men, old and young, after the war was over. When the .book was begun he was the screen editor of a German newspaper. He had the desire to write a play and at this project he toiled industriously but without re- sult. He found himself despairing. Then he began to examine himself to determine the cause. He came to the conclusion that the experience of the war was still with him, troubling his mind, and making it impossible for him to be really happy. Even when he did not think of the war he was conscious of its shadow depressing him. So the idea occur- red to him that he might make some effort to set down on paper just what happened to him in the belief that it had also happened to millions more and that in self-expression he might find a way of escape, as the psycho- analysts teach. So every evening for six weeks, he wrote, and at the end of that time found that his book was finished. Then for six months it lay in his desk with no attempt made to find a publisher. Some of his friends were permitted to read it, and it vas the result of their urgings that he finally offered it for publication. It is fair to suppose that his spirit was soothed by the task and that the many letters he has received prove that it has helped other returned men over a rough spot. But Mr. Remarque, despite some of the Gargantuan hum- or in "All Quiet on the Western Front," is essentially a melancholy young man, much more sensitive than the average, and therefore a much more subtle observer of what he saw in the war. Perhaps no other kind of man could have created this mas- terpiece. AcIds inn Stomach Cennse blidigestn®IIn Medical authorities,.state that near- ly nine -tenths of the cases of stom- ach trouble, bloating, nausea, etc., are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sours, causing the disagree- able symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist some Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful of powder or four tab- lets in water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder or tablet form— never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indiges- tion. One glimpse of a dental sign may ease an aching molar. Chicago Daily News.
