Washington, M a v c .1 17. t li t
wholesale liquor establishment,
brother ot the bar, will die May 15
under sentence pronounced today by
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer.
Although an opinion rendered by
Attorney General Palmer last De
cember decided the wholesaler had
no legal right to continue in busi
ness, internal revenue and prohibition
officials decided to grant some tim.:
to unload stocks. But .Mr. Kramer's
announcement made it clear then;
would be no lurther extension ot
lime.
Mr. Kramer, however, opened tlu
way for retail druggists to obtain
supplies tor prescriptions, removing
the ban cm withdrawals from bonded
warehouses.
The order makes it possible for
retail druggists to transact business
direct with tile bonded warehouses.
Wholesale druggists will 'be taken
care of later, Mr. Kramer indicated,
by granting them similar privilege?.
Dealing between retail druggists
and other purchasers and the bonded
warehouses later will -be limited by
regulations which officials declared
would be drastic enough to satisfy
the most ardent dry advocate. Thcy
must be based, however, it was
added. 011 Mr. Palmer's opinion.
So far as the wholesalers are con
cerned, Mr. Kramer said the task is
to get rid of the stocks. They will
not be allowed to increase holdings,
but there are no strings to selling to
druggists before May 15. Officials
announced no figures concerned the
amount of liquor held by wholesalers,
but said they believe Jhc stock largely
would be disposed.

Follow These Questions and An
swers Arranged by
J. WILLSON ROY.
1. Why was the mother of Jesus,
who was to be a virgin espoused to
Joseph?
2. j Why was the Virgin Mary
"troubled" at the angelic message
that she should be the mother of
Jesus?
3. Why is the angc'ic message to
the Virgin Mary called Annuncia
tion? 4. Who was Joseph, the foster fa
ther of Jesus Christ?
5. Why was his occupation of car
penter no disgrace to Joseph?
6. Why have several attempts
been made to prove that our Lord
and Joseph were not carpenters but
goldsmiths?
Answers.
1. Espousal did not necessitate
the living together, and it was de
sirable that Mary should be assigned
to a lawful protector."'
2. She had devoted herself tj a
life of virginity, and did not imme
diately apprehend how her condition
as a mother could be compatible
with the maintenance of that vow.
3. Because of the overwhelming
importance of that message over all
others.
4. lie was a ''just man," a jew
of the house and family of David,
and a carpenter.
5. Among the ancient Jews all
handicrafts were held in such honor
that they were learned and pursued
by the first men of the nation.
6. Because of the erroneous im
pression that the latter calling was
more honorable than the former, and
because the words of the original
manuscript arc capable of that con
struction. (Copyright, 1920. by The Wheeler Syndi
cate, Inc.)
Common Sense
, By J. J. MUNDY.
Home and te Outside.
Old man, just what is the matter
with your home or with you, that
you arc not contented to remain there
evenings?
' Why is it that you feel uneasy un
til you reach your club or sonic
other place of meeting which you
have evenings?
; Certainly you are not tired of your
wife and children.
Do you get more enjoyment in the
society of your outside friends?
. . If so, what is the cause of it?
Isn't it a case where you are so
lacking in congeniality at home that
you put a damper on the whole fam
ily, with the result that none of the
members of the family are able to
feel natural? k
ft is a sort of constrained Condi
tion when you are .at home, isn't it?
If this be true, you cannot expect
happiness, and your home will not be
a place of good cheer.
It is a sate bet that it your home
i$ not of the right sort you are the
one to blame, not the little wife.
If vou displayed half the good fel
lowship at home that you do among
your old cronies, you might find a
decidedly different atmosphere there.

Jewel, Flower. Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Today's talismanic stone is the
moss agate, which the ancients be
lieved was the luckiest stone a
woman could wear. They claimed
that she who wore it was sure to
attain her heart's desire, and that
nobodv could refuse her anything.
To it they also attributed the power
to cure insanity.
iThc beryl i voday's natal stone;
ill its green depths those born on
an anniversary of this day. can find
the strength to drive away fear and
reach great heights mentally. Ac
cording to Marbodus, thef beryl
could cure its wearer of laziness.
Today's color is red, symbolic
of courage and endurance, at this
time it is especially lucky for those
inclined to listlessness.
The rose is today's flower, and
brings with it happiness and courage.

More Truth

Food for Thought
We've always placed reliance,
Since childhood's earliest day,
L pon the men of science
And what they had to sayT
This' faith remains unshaken
When now we read the news
That oysters must be taken
With booze.
The booze is .necessary.
The scientists affirm,
Because the oysters carry
A swarm of typhoid germs
Which take a dcaly colic
Whenever we apply
A mixture alcoholic
And die.
With oysters it is risky
One's innards to regale
Except along with whiskey
Or beer or wine or aie.
But this need not alarm us.
They still can serve as food.
For they are wholly harmless
When stewed.
Vet lately we've been thinking
That if it's indiscreet,
Without a lot of drinking
These esculents to cat -
If alcoholic stewing
Destroys the baccillus,
Just what it must be doing
To us!

Parents' Problems
What course should be followed
with a child who does something
else, instead of what he is told to
do?
This child is what is termed "contrary.",-
Firmness and quietness is
necessary. Explain to him that his
duty is to obey, and that he must
do it. 1 Make clear to him that the
reason children must obey is, that
they have not yet learned to be good
judges of what they might to do.
Punishment may be needful. Let
it take thc form of solitude in his
own room for an hour, or earlier to
bed. Tell him in advance what the
punishment will be iL he disobeys.

ation for India involve about 10,000,

WHY-
Is the Name "America" Applied to
the Western Continent?
Every schoolboy knows that the
name "America" refers to the ex
plorer Americus Vespucci, but com
paratively few know of the circum
stances which led up to the bestowal
ot" this name, rather than that of Co
lumbus, upon the new world. Major,
me expert on the science of map
drawing, has shown that the appella
tion "America" first appeared on the
map of the world drawn by no less
an artist than Leonardo da Vinci,
and he explains the circumstances
which led up to its adoption as fol
lows: "The ti r t map known to exist
with the new world delineated up
on it, lis that drawn by Juan dc la
Cosa, the pilot of Columbus on his
second oyage. This map is dated
1500. Juan de la Cosa was with
Ojeda and Vespucci, and afterwards
with Ojeda on his last and ill-fated
expedition. In May, 1507, just the
year after the death of Columbus, a
man named Martin Waldseemullcr
j wrote a book to which was appended
a Latin account ot ttie lour voyages
of Vespucci. In this book, published
at St. Die in Lorraine, WaJdseemul
ler proposed that the name "Ameri
ca" should be given to the new
world, in honor of Vespucci, whom
he erroneously supposed was the dis
coverer of the continent.
"In 1508 the first engraved map
containing the new world, appeared
in an edition ot Ptolomy printed at
Rome; but this does not bear the
name America. But in 1509 this name
appears as if it were already accept
ed as a wc'I-known denomination,
in an anonymous work entitled
'Globus Mundi,' publishc ! at Stras
btirg. The map of the world of
Leonardo de Vinci .presumably is-
1 : 1 :u i .1. a
i 5llcu " '"' t,as Illc name .America
across tnc south American continent
as well as thp mirth tl-nie a Tlntrti
author and au Italian artist con-
t rived, possibly without malice, to
rob Columbus of at least some of
the fruits of his courage and per
severance." (Copyright, 15C1. by The Wheeler Pyndt-
cuie, i no. )
Where It Started
The Induction Coi! "
The principle of flic induction coil,
without which wc should have no
wireless and no X-rays, was first
demonstrated by Michael Faraday
in 1831. In 1855 Pohl' made a coil,
using this principle, but his experi
ments were unsuccessful. The first
really successful induction coil was
made by Rubmkorff, in 1851.

When Benny Badger went wan
' dering off to imd a safer and pleas
, anter neighborhood in which to
' make a new home for himself, he
had no idea at all as to where he
should go. He only knew that he
Hullo!" said BennuJBadrter. "Co
you live, around here?
wanted to get a good, lonp distance
away from the place where he had
been living.
Wherever he decided to settle, it
must be some spot where the tin-:
grateful rancher wouldn't be likely
to find him, and set a trap in his
doorwjay again.
On and on Benny travelled, until
at last he met a spry young chap
one of the deer mouse family
who stopped still and stared at
Benny as if he would like to speak
to him but didn't quite dare to.
"Hullo!" said Benny Badger. "Do
you live around here?
The deer mouse answered polite
ly with a nod, as if he would like
to talk, if he weren't too shy.
"Do you find this an agreeable
neighborhood?" Benny Badger in
quired. ,
"Very!" the deer mouse replied
in a thin, piping voice.
"Is there plenty of good water
nearby?" Benny asked him.
"Yes, indeed!" the deer mouse
exclaimed. "There's a water-hole
right over there!" And he pointed
over his shoulder, without taking his
eyes off Benny Badger. He knew
it was safer to keep a close watch of
strangers.
Benny sat down, lie had journeyed
a long way and he was tired.
"I'll go and have a drink as soon
as I'm rested," he said. "I'm glad
there's . good water here. This
seems to be . a pleasant place
. Are there -any good Goph
ers .and Prairie Dogs in the neigh
borhood?"
"Oh, yes!" the deer mouse an
swered. ' "But you needn't worry
about them. They won't harm you
if you mind your own affairs. I've
lived here a long time; and they
haven't touched me."
"What about Owls?" Benny Bad
ger wanted to know.
The deer mouse looked solemn
all at once.
"There are a few." he admitted.
"If you're thinking of settling here,
you'll have to watch sharp for them.
I've had several narrow escapes."
Benny Badger smiled.
"I'd like to see the Owl that
could hurt me!" he cried. "And
as for Gophers and Prairie Dogs,
I like them . . . This is the
very place I've - been looking tor.
And as soon as I have rested a
little longer and had a drink of that
good w-ater I'm going to dig myself
a den right where I'm sitting now.
The deer mouse pricked up his
long ears at that. To the best of
his belief, no badger had ever lived
in the neighborhood before. And
if the stranger was going to dig a
hole, he intended to watch him while
he worked.
"Lf you feet rested enough now,
I'll show you the way to the water
hole," the dear mouse said present
ly. He was impatient ftr the fun
to begin. 1
"Lead on!" he commanded.. "I'll
follow." And he 'yawned for it
was already long past his usual bed
time. The deer mouse trembled slightly
as he looked into penny's great
mouth. , And he tcli care to keep
well ahead of the stranger all the
way to the water-hole, and back
again, too. But he soon forgot his
fear when Benny Badger began to
dig the new den. The dirt flew in
such showers as the deer mouse
had never seen in all his life except
during a cyclone.
Benny had begun to dig as he
said he should in the exact spot
where he had sat and rested. But
for one reason or an&thcr he soon
changed his mind, and started to
dig a different hole a short distance
from tlie first one.
Soon he moved again. And alter
he had begun no less than live holes,
only to leave each one unfinished,
the deer mouse interrupted him with
a sharp cry.
"Stop! Stop! Stop" he begged
Benny. "Please don't do that!"
Benny Badger paused and stared
at him in amazement.

SCOTT BAILEY
"What is it?"Jie asked. "What's
the matter?"
The deer mouse was all a-flutter.
"Goodness me!" he exclaimed.
"You'll have the whole neighborhood-dug
up if you're not careful!"
CHAPTER" XXII.
A Breakfast Invitation.
For a moment or two Benny
Badger looked at the deer mouse
without saying a word, lie told
himself that here was a country per
son who couldn't ever have traveled
much, or he would have known bet
ter than to make such a remark. . . .
Spoil the whole neighborhood, in
deed! . . . Benny's lip twisted
up in something like-a sneer.
"Don't you worry!" he snorted.
"I don't believe you ever saw a first
class digger before. I'm not going
to spoil the neighborhood. I'm im
proving it, I'm making a fine house
here probably the finest there is
for miles around."
The deer mouse appeared asham
ed. Of course lie didu t like to seem
tupid.'
"But why do you dig in so many
places?" he faltered.
"lhat s my way, Benny iiauger
told him. "As soon as 1 get one den
well started 1 think I'd rather live
somewhere else., But I don't mind
beginning again, because there's no
better exercise than digging."
"No doubt!" the deer mouse
agreed. , "But I'm sure it would be
much too viohint for me."
He said no more, but looked cr.
"I'm read-g for a. tfobd meal.
w ith a puzzled air until at last Benny
Badger had actually dug in one
place long enough to make a deep
den.
When it was quite finished Benny
Badger brushed the dirt off himself
and turned to Mr. Deer Mouse.
"Come inside and see if my new
house isn't the finest one you ever
saw!" he said. ,
For some reason Mr. Deer Mouse
did not seem eager to enter. To be
sure, he thanked Benny for the invi
tation, biit he backed away a few
steps and said that he thought he'd I
better not look at the new house that
morning. "11 haven't the time to
spare," he mumbled. i
Benny Badger couldn't under- ,
stand that remark. Trie white-foot- !
ec. gentleman had had plenty of time j
to spend w hile watching him dig the
den. And Benny said as much, too. !
"That's exactly the point," said j
the deer mouse. "I've, spent so much !
time already fliat I've' used it all up." j
Well, Benny Badger couldn't un- j
derstand that, either. j
"Used up all the time!" he cried
scornfully. "Isn't there plenty more
where the other time came from?" (
"Oh, to be sure to be sure!" said
the deer mouse, who seemed ready
to agree to anything except to Ben- j
ny's invitation. "But there is anoth
er reason whv I mustn't visit your j
new home this morning I'm hun
gry. I haven't had my breakfast
yet."
Suddenly Benny Badger renieni-
tered that he .was" hungry himself.
And as he stared at plump Mr. i
Deer Mouse a certain idea came into
his head. And he looked Mr. Deer
Mouse up and down before he spoke.
"I haven't had my breakfast,
cither." he said at last. "I'm ready
for a good meal. Come right in and
join me!"
But something made' Mr. Deer
Mouse say, "Xo, thank you!" Join
ing a badger at breakfast! Somc-
howtthat had a dangerous sound.
