If Germany, staid old beer-drink- ing Germany, is willing to consider prohibition at all, there must be an- other side to our own American pro- hibition.

NO PARKING The direction and control of traf- fic has become the paramount problem before the police departments of the nation. Fvery city has its traffic and parking troubles, though in many cit- les these troubles are more or less self-made. Ann Arbor seems to be no exception as to having the troubles, but it seems almost as though our traffic troubles would fall into the latter class, that of being self-made. This point is well illustrated by the conditions at Huron and Main streets, where traffic is continually held up by a little signal light which is hardly justified during the great- er portion of the day. The point is also brought out by the parking trou- bles with which we are confronted, troubles far beyond the size of the city. But there may be some justifi- cation for the little traffic signal and the multitude of "No Parking" signs which are scattered so promiscuously around our streets. But as long as the police depart- ment .is so enthusiastic over traffic regulation, it seems that it might un- dertake to solve those traffic prob- lems which are most poignant. There are, for example, several corners in Ann Arbor which seem veritable acci- dent makers: Hill street at East Uni- versity and at Church street being two of the worst of these. Since the beginning of the Summer session, there have been seven accidents, none of them really serious, but all de- structive, on these two corners. It is possible, and certainly practical, to take steps to alleviate this condition, and such actions are ,surely within the scope of . the duties of an efficient police department. If the department would investigate and take steps to remedy such condi- tions as this, perhaps it would not be criticized so much for the other things it does, or fails to do. APPROVED,-BY GERMANY While the world in general and Eu- rope in particular is loudly condemn- ing our American prohibition and pok- ing fun at it whenever possible, we ,are informed by that most reliable of news sources, the Associated Press, that a movement for prohibition has been started in Germany, the land of beer and pretzels. According to the dispatch, a petition containing 466,000 votes for prohibit- Ion was presented to the reichstag yesterday by promoters of local op- tion. These votes were gathered to- gether in a 10 day postcard canvass of the country, and judging from that, It seems natural that a large percent- age of the people would support any prohibition measure that was for- warded by a vigorous campaign. It is said that this movement is finding favor with party leaders of every wing, and that the greatest ob- jection to it among the members of the reichstag is based on the fact that of health." It is a sober restatement of the suggestion frequently and airily1 brought forward that what we need in this country is the Chinese system of1 paying the family doctor for the num- ber of days in the year his patients keep well. Whether that is the actual practice in China is another story. In urging the family doctor to go in for preventing disease instead of fight- ing it when it has arrived there is dan- ger of injustice to the general practi- tioner as we find him today. He has never been quite the creature of pills and nasty draughts that is too often assumed. He has been ready with pre- ventive counsel. H has warned Father against too much tobacco and too little exercise. Long before the contemporary emancipation in wo- men's dress arrived he warned Mother and the girls against tight lacing. For the children he has insisted on mod- erate amounts of candy, plenty of pure minlk and fresh furit and early to bed. He has fought for the gospel of fresh air in the home againsthe housewife's bitters anxiety for her lace curtains. And always he has performed one of the functions which President Vincent regards as highly important. He has served as an agent "against the very real danger which is threatened by a narrowly specialist point of view." No doubt he has still much to learn and much to change before he becomes the ideal "counselor of health." But it is only fair to point out that the attainment of that ideal depends more perhaps on the public than on himelf. The perfect counselor is one who offers advice when it is needed. But the doctor is tied by his professional eth- ics. He cannot, under modern etiquette,- stop Jones in the street and remark that Jone's color isn't what it should be and he had better step into the office for a general overhauling. The doctor cannot drop in on the family and announce that he thought it would be a good idea to look over the child- ren's tonsils. The family doctor is not really a family doctor in the sense of being one of the family. He must wait to be called in. He cannot speak until he is spoken to. In this respect he occupies a lower plane than the inspector from the electric company or the man from the water-works.-- This would make it seem that if the bedside doctor is to become a health counselor the change must become as regular a feature as the preventive visit to the dentist has become and as the visit to the oculist is coming to be. Unfortunately for the general practi- tioner, the public does not wear its tonsils, heart and digestive organs on the outside, as it does its teeth and eyes. Otherwise the human passion for appearances would have carried us further by this time to the ideal of the doctor as health counselor. It's timessomething was being done: 4Why not start a movement t send I Doc Lovell to Dayton? But then the newspapers can't afford to have the evolution question settled that soon.

Perhaps the first man to ever walk under a ladder dis- covered promptly what I discovered the last time I ever walked under one -which is, that painters above do not always take the precaution of a can- vas to forstall the drippings of their brushes on their way to the pave- ment below. Perhaps there are those who will yet laugh at the writer for his pro- selytism, as he formerly did at others. But if this be the case, accept the ad- vice which follows: to wit, make sure that the painter is not using three gallon cans( opened) of red, glaring red, paint, whose equilibrium upon the scaffold above is doubtful, and which will fall promptly upon the passage of any unwitting superstition-scoffing, pedestrain.

University Excursionists, Attention In view of the coming excursionto the General Motors building on Sat- urday, we have compiled certain data without which this visit could not be enjoyed as it should. By memorizing these figures, you will be able to make a great impression on the guide by springing them on hinicausual like, comme ca: "The building oc- cupies something like 190,500 square feet, doesn't it?" This will give him a great respect for your knowledge. Number of bricks used: ..8,790,000 Lineal feet of window cord.. .75,000 Number of tons of sash weight..303 Lineal feet of electric light wire....... ........1,053,200 Lineal feet of plumbing pipe . .95,000 Other information of a similar na- ture may be found in the general de- scription which will be handed you at the building.
