ct Session,

R. B. Griffith will leave tomorrow
for Fargo where he will attend the
meeting Of the executive committee
of the State Enforcement league, of
which he is the president. The meet
ing Is rather an important one in that
1t marks the change in the methods
Of enforcing the prohibition laws of
the state. Heretofore the work has
been largely an up hill proposition
for the league on account Of the ad-
verse conditions under which it has
labored. But the recently enacted
laws makes 1t much easier to secure
results. and the work Of the league
will be more effective than ever. It
is probable that the work will be
prosecuted jointly with that Of the
new temperance commissioner who is
a member and officer Of the league,
and who will be in attendance at the
Fargo meeting.

Radioactivitv of Snow,

One Of the latest additions to the
lengthening list of radioactive sub
