'This is a question which is often as- -ed. The answer is: "Yes, to a certain extent." But tall buildings are not so willowy as some experts have claim- ed. The latest investigations prove that the skyscrapers of New York and Chicago do not sway in the wind as much as was thought. The modern "Cloud -tickler" is built to withstand a distortion of ten to fifteen inches without collapsing. But such an emergency would arise only in a terrific tornado. As a mat- ter of fact, it hasn't occurred yet. In normal conditions the amount a building like the Chrysler or the Woolworth sways in the wind is very rarely more than one and a half in- ches, and as a rule is considerably less. That sway is, of course, absolu_tiely invisible to the eye and you would not feel it if you stood on the peak of the building. It has to be measured by, delicate recording instruments. Wind plays funny tricks in those upper regions. A steady, strong wind is not the one that has most ef- fect. Gusty weather, with the wind coming in short, sharp bursts, even though the wind is slight, makes much more sway. And here is the most staggering fact of all. Very high buildings sway less than those of medium height. The movement in a thirty or forty storey skyscraper of, say, 500 feet in height, is twice as much as the wind sway of the mighty Chrysler and Bank of Manhattan buildings in New York and yet is perfectly safe. Ontario Lady Speaks With Great Enthusiasm MRS. JAMES BAXTER TELLS OF DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS She Has Used Them for Her Back- aches with Great Success. Janetville, Ont, Mar. 22.—(Special) —"I think Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best I have ever used," writes Mrs. James Baxter, a well known resi- dent of this place. "They do me a 'world of good and I think they are simply wonderful. I had terrible backaches at times and Dodd's Kidney Pills brought me relief. I would not be without them now." When even slight kidney derange- ment is neglected there is the risk that rheumatism. backache, lumbago, etc., will eventually result. These dis- orders are simply the penalty of neg- lecting the kidneys which becoming weakened, cease to excrete the can- stantly accumulating impurities. How- ever, no one need be a martyr to these complaints for a single day. Simply start a course of Dodd's Kid- ney Pills. You will be •surprised how quickly they will strengthen) the kid- neys and put them in condition to do their full work of straining the im- purities out of the blood. TAKE THE PROFIT OUT OF LIQUOR Profit in the manufacture and sale of liquor has caused all the corrup- tion, crime and pro -liquor propaganda that liquor has been responsible for since the Constitution of the United States was written. Unless profit is completely removed from the liquor traffic it' will cause devastating po- litical and social' orruption so long as the country en'dtires. The prohibition forces of the coun- try are to -day at the crossroads. Sentiment is so rapidly mounting a- gainst the intolerable nation-wide cor- ruption and associated crime that the repeal or nullification of the Eigh- teenth Amendment is' inevitalble. The dry element of the country still has the opportunity of controlling the sit - nation; they can completely' defeat i the organized distillery, 'brewery, bootleg and political elements that are now planning to retain profit in lquor through the instrumentality of a thin- ly disguised' •state -control system. Returning to state control, under 'whatever disguise may be chosen, will mean the defeat of everything sincere prohibitionists have worked for in the Wonderful For Indigestion When your stomach feels bad; when stomach acids, gas, sourness, nausea Or after -eating pains make you mis- erable, just a little Bisurated Mag- nesia—tablets or powder --will bring safe and instant relief.

Arnendment and'- placing the manufacture and sal of all liquor in the United States Com pletely in the hands of the Federa Government. With the inaugurate of federal manufacture and sale with out profit, the saloon, :brewery, distil lery� and bootleg element that prohibi tionists have relentlessly fought for decades will vanish from the Uni States. All alcoholic ibeeeragea should be produced in government-owned and controlled distilleries, breweries an wineries and distributed to the con sliming public through liquor stores owned and operated by federal auth orities. These stores should be a dignified and orderly as nation banks. Liquor will be sold only in packages and delivered to the cus- tomer through a wicket, eliminating all possibility' of the old saloon or the speakeasy -saloon influence. Every package of liquor sold should be:wrap- ped" in a circular, issued by govern- ment medical authorities, outlining the injurious ingredients contained in the 'package. In this manner every time a man buys a bottle of liquor he will re- ceive authenticated scientific data as to why he should not drink the mater- ial he has purchased. In other words, not only will pro -liquor propaganda be completely removed from the liq- uor traffic, but the very agency selling the beverage'will definitely advise the purchaser—backed by the highest medical authority—to leave it alone, or at least use it rather temperately. In the Constitutional amendment replacing the Eighteenth Amendment a provision should be enacted that will guarantee through education the eventual elimination of the liquor problem. The federal government should place against its sales a five per cent. liquor tax. This tax would not increase the price of liquors to any appreciable amount. This tax, which would amount to between 80 and 100 million dollars a year, should be turned into a national fund to be used for anti -alcoholic education. This would permit the federal government to spend more money each year on al- coholic research and education than has been spent in the entire world since the beginning of time. Doctors, clinics, and hospitals would gather in- disputable data regarding the injur- ious effects of alcohol and these facts would be placed before every citizen, not as a sporadic idea, but as a con- tinuous, authentic, systematic pro- gram. Every school child reaching the age of twelve would know exact- ly what he faces if he indulges in al- cohol, and long before children reach- ed the age where they face liquor temptation they would be thoroughly educated to despise it. But the edu- cation would not stop in grammar school; it would be carried on through high schools, preparatory schools, col- leges and higher institutions of learn- ing. Specific information regarding the injurious effects of alcohol would be placed through every known ag- ency before every man, woman and child. Profit in liquor having been'wiped out, no organization or individual in America would be inclined to combat the information put out by govern- ment authorities, and lest we forget the most important part of all, peo- ple who do not drink would not pay one cent of this expense. The drink- ing public would pay every dollar of the educational budget. Liquor would be completely divorced from politics. Police, judges, sheriffs and other of- ficials would no longer be subjected to liquor -profit influences. Nov we come face to face with the problem involved in' the present state -rights, or return -to -state -control propaganda which has many promin- ent advocates. Under federal govern- ment control every state would 'enjoy the unquestioned right to be dry or wet, according to the dictates of its electorate. New York should not dic- tate to Kansas or any other state that desires prohibition. Whenever a state votes dry by referendum it should be dry and enforce its own prohibition laws. The federal government, com- pletely controlling the manufacture of liquor, would be able to guarantee to the state voting dry that no liquor would he shipped inside its borders from other states. Giving the state complete right to vote as it pleases will give each state every benefit that it would receive under the present state -control plans, but federal gov- ernment operation would eliminate un- told social grief that would follow in the wake of state control. It is inconceivable that the United States with its present rapid transportation, which has largely eliminated state lines, should enact 48 different liquor laws with 48 different alcoholic con- tents and 48 different sets of legisla- tive penalties. It is a wholly pre- posterous idea and would bring about more confusion that we now have, OT formerly had, under the old state -con- trol system. Return to state control would mean the retention of profit in liquor. Un- der state control many of the states would undoubtedly sell liquor through state -operated stores. e e 1 on ted d a1 They would competitively buy from private manufacturers. Private manu- facturers would let loose a flood of pro -liquor propaganda. We would still ohave political liquor corruption. There would be a flood of newspaper and magazine liquor advertisements that would be as damaging to the pub- lic welfare as the present nation-wide cigarette advertising. In other words state control will eliminate few of the curses we are now confronted with, but will 'bring in a powerful • pro -liquor propaganda arm that will be mere powerful than anything we have to fight now, namely, pro -liquor propa- ganda financed by distilleries and breweries through the medium of newpaper and magazine advertising, physicians, political fences and even radio and public platforms. Every distillery and brewery will try to in- veigle the public to purchase their own individually manufactured hers wages. The big bootleggers of the country are practically a unit in ens, thtisiastically supporting the uncondi- tional return to a state -control plan, such as is advocated by Governor Roosevelt, of New York, and Senator Morrow, of New Jersey. lciotlg or:"�nxzatios t'14a! tried to. lox itlate netzonal po'ittx�al o 'rs+ ganizations, but they o t;entrol alio; by neurine in .xrhone'Y, n IVrays gain gstn,. trol, city' and eounty machines. By merging the .eon bined !newer of the city and ceenty.tnachines which they dominate, they would !be able to hold enough'balaa�ce of power to write their own state liquor ticket if the Eigh- teenth Amendment is repealed uncon- ditionally. An argument advanced by the dlrys is that Canada has tried the govern- ment sale system and it has failed. The Canadian) government stores sell whiskey at from $3 to $4 a quart, which is 300 per cent. zltore than the American saloons charged, with all the federal taxes and licenses that the American saloons were compelled to pay,•and as • a result Canada has thousands of :bootleggers who can un- dersell the government and still make huge profits. The Canadian magaz- ines are filled with liquor advertise- ments, and pro -liquor .propaganda is found everywhere. No government on earth has ever recognized the fact that profit in liquor is the foundation of all liquor evils. Therefore no gov- ernment has ever made an intelligent battle againdt alcohol. In the old saloon days whiskey sold for $1 per quart. North of the Mas- on and Dixon,; line bootleggers charge for uncut whiskey from $8 to $10 per quart. In speakeasies or night clubs it costs from $12 to $1'5. While it is true that cut liquors and applejack cost leas, it is every bit as true that the stuff sold is only actually worth half the old saloon whiskey prices. To be most conservative in our esti- mate, the minimum amount now spent by the American public for liquor is not less than five 'billion dollars a year and it means that under government non-profit sale a saving of at least three billion four hundred million dol- lars would be•immediately effected. Can any one doubt that three bil- lion, four hundred million dollars new cash thrown into farm and manufac- tured products would do more to cure our present ills than anything else that can be'done? We would in addi- tion immediately put into profitable direct brewery, distillery, winery and store -clerk employment at least one million people. No matter what we may personally think of prohibition, there is as much liquor sold now''' as there ever was. There will be as much liquor sold in 1931" by the bootleggers as there was in 1930 and 1929. Since there will be as much or more liquor sold by boot- leggers than under any government plan, is there any argument,in the name of common sense:that should favor national' sale by bootleggers in preference to non-profit government sale? Is there a single point of com- mon sense in robbing the public of billions every year and placing that rnoney in the pockets of more than a million criminals to corrupt every element of American society? Does any one with common sense believe to -day that we can diminish liquor consumption by statute? We have reached that stage where we must choose between the bootleg- ger and the government.

CAPTAIN DOLLAR'S CARGOES Not long ago Mrs. Herbert Hoover splintered a bottle of water against the nose of the largest merchant ves- sel yet launched in this country. The vessel was—appropriately—the Presi- dent Hoover. It will cost eight million dollars, and will be in service next June with accommodations for 1260 passengers. Riveters are busy on a keel that will grow a second ship of duplicate proportions. In China, as far as possible from the launching, an old gentleman with innocent blue eyes and snow-white whiskers was hurrying hither and yon. !Hle was looking for business.. Even in that scarred land, remote op- portunities .come forward and sur- render on hearing the old gentleman's name. ' He is none other than Cap- tain Robert Dollar, patriarch and chairman of the board of the Dollar Steamship Lines, for whom the ves- sels are being constructed. The ancient captain, now in his 37th trade -hunting trip to the Orient, is in his 87th year but you mustn't let that fool' you. On first meeting Captain Dollar one might think him a benevolent old gentleman kept in a position of com- mand by tolerant affection. His hands tremble. His voice is that of an ancient.

Past it foams the Burn of Dollar, whose parent streams are Sorrow and Care, above which is Gloom Castle, ruined stronghold of the Argylls. Robert Dollar was born in Falkirk, Scotland.
