GIVES CHANCE TO "RUBBER" Simple Reason Why Men Have Adopt ed Style of Wearing Hat on Dsck of the Head. An explanation has been suggested of the style now prevalent among men of wearing the hat on the back of the head. The chief function for the hot ex cept for the bald Is to thade the eyes, but on a city street there Is seldom anv direct sunshine, and therefor small actual necessity i'or shading the eyes with the hatbrlm. Now comes the discovery of an Im pelling motive to keep the bat on the back of the head. This motive exlBts In cities, even for the oldest resident. Take Now York, for Instance. Inter esting things are always happening there above- the level of the eyes, things that people like to look at, even while they pass along. If the hat were worn low on the face the htad would have to be craned upward, and every one would know that the person was looking at a particular thing. Whereas when the hat is worn on the back of the head the eyes may roam where they will, and an air of Indifference and sang frold be pre served. , Here Is an Instance of a style which seems an affectation having a real basis In utility. ' (Conducted by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) THE HOTEL BAR. "It Is time we ceased to Insult the American public by insisting that a hotel cannot be run without a bar." These aie not the words of a pro hibition fanatic but of the proprietor of a fine hotel and were spoken at the annual meeting of the Northwestern Hotel Men's association. The speaker, Mr. Lelmbacker of Gardner, N. D addressed the convention on "Prohibi tion an Economic Proposition," and hlB vigorous handling of the subject called forth great applause. ."From the manager down to the bell hop," he Bald, "booze makes morn -trouble than any other one thing In our butl ness. If the causes for eight out of every ten hotel failures were to bo carefully analyzed, liquor would be found to be the rock on which the business was shattered. It Is an In disputable fact that more managers lose their positions on account of booze than through any lack of real efficiency. The same may bo found throughout the crew."

"When vodka was on sale the aver age savings bank deposits In Russia were In the neighborhood of from $16, 000,000 a year a year, not a month. In the thirty-one days . of January, 1915, five months after the sale of vodka was prohibited In one month the former vodka drinkers put $30,000, 000 Into the savings banks-In the em pire. They saved nearly twice as much In one month as they formerly saved In a year," says Samuel G. Wythe in the Saturday Evening Post, The liquor Interests of the United States are telling the people that "na tional prohibition would mean the loss of $250,000,000 to the treasury of our national government," and are asking, "who will make up this revenue?" Russia has shown the way. That na tion Is demonstrating the soundness of the policy expressed In these words of William E. Gladstone "Give me a sober people and I will provide the revenue." PROHIBITION EMPTIES JAIL. "It has surprised even the strongest advocates of prohibition to see the ef fect that law has had in preventing crimes and misdemeanors In Greenlee county," says the Clifton (Ariz.) Journal. "For many years the courts of this country have been occupied with a multiplicity of cases, mostly resulting from booze, and the several Justice courts have been kept busy sentenc ing prisoners to Jail or fining them. For years the Jails have been crowd ed to capacity and the fines have often run close to $1,000 In a single Justice court In one month. But conditions have changed since the first of the year. The Jail has been empty at some places a good share of the time; cases have been few and far between, and most of them were slight misdemeanors." WARN COUNTRY EDITORS! Falsehoods and misrepresentations by the page, the column, or the para graph are being sent out to the coun try press by the publicity department of the Liquor Dealers' association of Cincinnati, with the assurance that all they desire Is "a fair representation of their sldo of the prohibition ques tion," and that the matter sent may be relied upon absolutely. Every white rlbboner should feel a personal respon sibility in warning the editors in her community of the nature and source of these articles, and offer In their place to furnish some of the excel lent material sent out by the publicity bureau of the National W. C. T. U. The Union Signal. MISSOURI DRYING UP. More than half the people of Mis souri live in territory absolutely dry. For years more than half the territory in the state has been dry, but the large city population meant that a majority of the people lived In wet territory. As the result, however, of very recent dry victories 50.2 per cent In Missouri's entiro population now live in saloonless territory. Between 75 and 80 per cent of the state's ter ritory Is dry. Soventy-nlne of the 114 counties are dry; nineteen dry with the exception of one town of more than 2,500 population. Sixteen coun ties and the city of St. Louis are the only entirely wet localities in the state. STILL ON THE JOB. "When national constitutional pro hibition has been socured won't the Woman's Christian Temperance Union be out of a Job?" queried a young woman Journalist of Miss Anna A. Gordon, president of the National W. C. T. U. She was assured that "our organization. In common with all tem perance forces, would then enter upon its most Important task that of en forcing the prohibitory law and of maintaining through education, agita tion and organization the high stand ard of Bentlment necessary for the election of law-enforcing officials." 8TRENGTH IN NUMBERS. The National W. C. T. U. conven tion, held In Seattle, October 9-14, re ported for 1915 a gain In membership of 35,771. The net gain over and above all losses was 29,711. "When we remember," said Mrs. Frances P. Parks, the corresponding secretary, "that great battles have been won by a re-enforcement of two or three hun dred and that Thermopylae was held by one man, we realize the significance of a great membership gain, and that In a year of marked financial depression." REVENUE COULD BE SPARED. The retail . liquor dealers In New York will pay Into the state treasury this year twenty-two and a half mil lion dollars. Nobody doubts that tho state could spare this sum or a greater one for an equivalent of sobriety and moral strength. New York Evening World (
