    25 Years Needed to Secure
Prohibition Enforcement
“Geoi^ia Cyclone ” Say* Law
Enforcement Is Slow
but Sure.
‘‘This year is the crucial time in
deciding how eoon the prohibition
amendment will be enforced," declor
ed Mrs. Mary Harris Armor, the
Georgia cyclone, In a typical southern
voice, as she lay on a bed piled high
with letters in the Conant hotel and
indulged in what passed for a rest
before her address to the W. C. T. U.
convention tonight.
“The next election," she proceeded,
“will determine whether we are to
take the prohibition amendment in
earnest or keep on shilly-shallying
for a while. I helieve It is impossible
to repeal the eighteenth amendment.
Its passage required a revolution in
public sentiment, and it cannot be
repealed without a change in the opin
ion of the majority of people. Revo
lutions don’t go backward. The fight
immediately before us centers about
the Volstead act and its enforcement.
Enforcement Requires 25 Years.
"If the prohibition amendment is
perfectly enforced in 25 years, or
even So years, we shall be doing well.
People should not he surprised if it
takes longer than that But law en
forcement has gained, so far, in every
year of prohibition, and will keep on
gaining until it is supreme.”
* Mrs. Armor recalled her spirited
debate with Mayor Dahlman in 1908
and said that the mayor was game
and a courteous opponent.
“When I argued with him then,"
she recalled, "Mr. Dahlman was seri
ously worried for fear he couldn't
scrape together the money to keep the
city government going if prohibition
went into effect. Well, he’s been may
or under prohibition for quite some
time now, and I must say the city
doesn't exactly look ruined!”
The Women’s Christian Temper
ance union is a growing organiza
tion, emphasized Mrs. Armor with en
thusiasm, declaring that its destiny
is "to go from strength to strength
and glory to glory.” It now has

Volstead Strong In Japan.
The majority of the 600,000 out
side of America are in various parts
of the British federation, although
Japan has a strong Women’s Chris
tian Temperance union which has
been recognized by the Japanese gov
ernment ns one of the most valuable
uplift agencies in that country. Mrs.
Harris returned to America a few
months ago from campaigning with
the New Zealand union, anil prophe
sies that New Zealand is going dry
Inside a year.
Prohibition is only one of the in
terests of the W. C. T. U., continued
Mrs. Armor.
"The union is the parent of all the
women’s clubs in the country,” she
explained. "I know of nothing any
women’s organization is doing now,
for which our Frances Willard did not
make some provision in one of our
committees. At one time we had 54
different departments, but, as the
other women’s organizations entered
the field, we have cut down to avoid
duplication, and now have only 20.”
Among the interesting things be
ing done by the national W. C. T. U.i
is research work on the psychology
of the normal child, being carried on
by Prof. Bird Baldwin of the Uni
versity of Iowa. For this work, which
mayl have a profound influence on
education, said Mrs. Armor, the Un
ion appropriated $10,000 annually. It
is giving $200,000 in five years for
Americanization work, led by Mrs.
Culla Vayhanger, and $30,000 a year
for educational publicity. None of
this money goes for salaries, as all
work is voluntary.
Mrs. Armor leaves today for Colum
bus, where she speaks this evening.
Thursday she will spend in Fremont,
and Friday in Fairbury. .She goes
to Oklahoma on Saturday.
Adele Garrison
“My Husband’s Love”
"Well! Madge, have X run you to
earth at last?"
Lillian's voice was as airily light as
If there were nothing behind her
search for me but a projected dinner
or theater visit. But 1 saw that the
liny lines about her mouth were
etched deeper than usual—the only
sign of anxiety which Lillian ever
betrays.
"Yes, I Just heard about It,” I re
turned as airily, and then with a lit
tle nod of grateful appreciation to
the department manager, who was
still in colloquy with her superin
tendent, T began to pick up the bun
dles which were stacked around me.
"Have you finished here?” Iallian
asked, taking some of the packages
into her own capable hands. "Arc
all these yours?”
"Yes, to both questions.” I an
swered. and having annexed them all.
we moved toward the door.
"What are your plana?” was h»r
next query, put in a low tone which
1 copied in replying.
"Taxi to the nearest subway, then
to the — subway station in Brook
lyn, where T shall meet Alfred Hur
kee and Mrs. Bird's driver."
She made no comment, verbal or
facial, upon my mention of Alfred
Durkee, although I knew she must
have been surprised at my voicing
his name.
"Suits nie,” she said briefly. "We ll
talk in the taxi.” *■
I gave the order to the doorman,
anil a few seconds later, with our
bundles pulled around us, we were on
our way to the subway.
"First, I know you want the an
swer to ‘Why Brooklyn and why
Alfred?’ “I began, and at her time
saving nod of assent, I told her of
the encounter of Mrs. Bird's driver
with a personal enemy whom he
feared, and of my enlisting Alfred
Durkee's aid In trying to get an ear
lier passage for the Bralthwaites
and the Harrison children on a South
I American ship.
‘‘Good girl,” she commented cm
plinth-ally. "Thst's the very thing
I've been trying to do between my
attempt* to trail you througtj shop
ping center*. If Alfa turned the
trick, my work's half over.”
With the air of one doing a prob
lem dn mental arithmetic she con
sulted her wrist watch.
"Yes,” she announced, “I'll have
time to go to Brooklyn with you. It's
a fortunate thing, too. You’ll need
help with these things.”
She Indicated the packages, and T
clenched my Angers Into my palms
In exasperation at her delay In ex
plaining her unexpected presence In
the city. Sometimes Gillian's poise—
I almost dropped the "1” mentally
In my Irritation—Is exceedingly try
Ins* upon the people who do not pos
sess her iron nerves.
"Now for the headlines!” She
turned toward mo with a little smile,
hut her words were rapid and clipped
short, and I knew she meant to get
all conAdential talk Anlshed before
we left the privacy of the taxi for
the publicity of the subway train. I
felt my own nerves tensing for the
things she was shout to tell—unpleas
ant I was sure from her manner.

such a fool as he looked,” she be
gan. "He took the bait as far as fol
lowing us on the train went, Viut I
noticed him looking at us very closely,
•specially the children, and he sat so
near us that when one of the chil
dren accidentally shoved another one
as we got out at the Penn station,
and the other uttered an exclama
tion in his native tongue, he over
heard It. That was enough, of course,
and he beat It for the telegraph of
fice and a taxi stand. The telegram
was to a man in Southampton asking
him to get in touch with all hotels on
the routes to New York and find out
where four children with grown pro
pie escorting them stayed last night.”
For a second I was startled at her
knowledge of the telegram. Then 1
realized that she had used for me the
flower of the tiny secret service
badge which she always carries, but
I made no comment, for her mono
logue was going forward swiftly.
“1 knew' that was some order, and
that In all probability they’d exhaust
the ones along the Montauk high
way first. So I took the children
and Mamie to a hotel—some time I’ll
tell you about that—it was a scream
—and then with Marion I threw out
lines until T found'a hotel man who
knew the Rlverhead hotel manager.
Then with a little persuasion"—I vis
ualized her badge again—"he tele
phoned the Riverhead man, found out
you were there, and warned him
against giving any information about
you. But somewhere, somebody
spilled the beans, and they have their
noses to the ground not very far be
hind you.”
Ruth Draper Excels
in Sympathy and
Moderation
Keen sympathy ns well ns humor,
skill and satire marked the extraordi
nary series of Impersonations given
by Huth Draper before a house packed
to the last seat at the Rrandeis the
ater yesterday afternoon. Miss Dra
per made her second appearance In
Omaha in two years under the aus
pices of the Drama league.
In the social satires in which, with
perfect graciousness and good humor,
she made fun of the foibles of the rich
and the would-be cultured. Miss Dra
per displayed skill, wit, and a delicious
sense of proportion. It was in her
dialect sketches that she revealed the
full power, artistry and understanding
of her dramatic gift.
Many Impersonators could make an
audlen°e rock with laughter at the
absurdities of the Philadelphia matron
cooing over babies and nagging her
unruly brood at a children's party,
or of the soul culture expert, who
murdered the president's English, or
of the southern belle, who tries out
the same "line" on a series of part
ners at a dance. Very few actors
could perceive so clearly or present
so tellingly the pathos of the bewil
dered Scotch lassie at Ellis Island,
who conies over to meet her fiance
and is held at the harrier with a se
ries of questions about her sanity
and morals; the pathos “ of the tele
phone girl who works the switch
board and calls numbers while she Is
wild with anxiety about a sick brother
and of the old Kerry county Irish
woman whose son is dead in the war
and whose daughters are In Boston,
Mass.
