PROHIBITION GETS AID.
Bill as Amended Gives State Police
Control at Border.

Washington, D. c. The initial
step toward making prohibition ef-
fective in such States as have voted
for it was taken in the Senate when
an amendment was inserted in the
Wilson bill. This bill was intended
to give the State police control over
shipments of liquor when they
reached the border, but the Supreme
Court held that a shipment did not
arrive in a State until it was deliv.
cred to the consignee, and in this way
prohibition was nullified.
Messrs. Knox, Tillman and Nelson
got their heads together and took the
Wilson act and inserted the words,
within the. borders of the State" :"
The bill was then referred.

Such a bank, according to the
Comptroller, would not only solve the
great problems of the banking sys-

chinery for conducting the Treasury

ENFORCE DOG LAW
COMPLAINTS AGAINST DOGS BIT
ING CHILDREN RECEIVED
BY CHIEF OF POLICE.

Chief of Police Buck Garrett is re-.
ceiying many complaints from every
section of the city of children and
grown people being bitten by stray
dogs. Reports were received by the
chief of police Saturday to the er
feet that three or four children have
teen bitten within the past two or
three days. Dog days are at hand
and TO be bitten by a dog during
these hot days is dangerou and liza.
BILE to bring on blood poisoning. and
perhaps rabies.
Somewhere on the books there IS
an ordinance requl'ing people who
own dogs 10 pay dog license tax
and all dogs without n badge TO show
that the tax has been paid are to
be shot. II such law is applicable
at any time II should be applicable
at this time, and the city fathers
should get busy and appoint a dog

One NANCY cur can do more dam.
age by biting n child than can fire.
The streets OF Ardmore are overrun

II is impossible for the members
OF the police force to act as dog
