PROHIBITION, (‘£5508 AND LOVE

The other day ~we quoted some of tile views‘ of lM-r. Julian 1S. l-Iuxdey on Prohibition as given in his sen leg of articles on “America Re- visited" in the bondon Spectator. In the current issue IMr. Huxley con- cludes his remarks on Th-onifbition, its operation and probable conseq ueavses, and tlsis is »pa.rlt of his con- clusion: “The reformers and up- iiftors appear do ibe convinced that you have only got -to itake awary drink from the lman in the street and provide him with leisure for bim to turn to Literature or Amt or some other form sufficiently silh- lime vto be of sublimation worthy of a caipiltsll letter. 1111s tnilth is, bow- evor, only too obvious-that the great Ilrulk 0f all classes, from the lowest mo the highest, do not care hf such airings...

A London view of the League of Nations situation is given by the Spectator as follows:

that 50 or 75 per cent of the travell-

ing public do not want to have this thing yowling in tber ears but chat with their friends or do business. It was nevcr authorised by the tax- payers of this country and they would be very much better satis- fied if that $225,000 bad been taken off the cost of transportation on 2ven one article, rather than spent on the transportation of wind across the Continent of North Ani- erica?’

It is rather startling to read that during the first nine months _of 1924 we bought 61.235996 Worth 0i newspapers. quarterll-es. mon-thlies and semi-monthly magazines slid weekly literary papers from the United States and during the sanic period the value of the publica- tions we bought from Great Bril- aln- was only $4,702.

The scientists therefore conclud- ed that the power of giving off ultra violet rays is dependent on oxidation. Thus we possessdlg the same power. as thej sun itself. that is the giving off of ultra violet light. Therefore the
