af government interference with the
question of prohibition in any way.
To the statement that in passing
legislation curtailing federal liquor
licenses congress would simply be
voting for prohibition. Senator Mel.
son. a member of the committee,
made objection. He said it was a mat
Ter of leaving such a question to the
states. Representative Bartholdt ex-
pressed his disapproyal of local op-
ton or any laws whatever that would
hinder a citizen from exercising his
own judgment as to how much liquor
he should consume. He considered
that such course would be in viola
ton OF the constitution.
John w Yerkes, former commits.
sioner of internal revenue, expressed
disapproval of a law Withdrawing
federal liquor licenses in prohibition
states on the ground that it puts the
states IN the position of invoking fed
aral law TO cause their own laws to
take the following He believed that
the abolition OF federal licenses in
certain states and the issuing Of them
n others would put the government

iheai4ng held By the Judiciary com.

Representative Richard Ba1holdt

that the state authorities may eoniis
cate the whisky or beer as soon as it
crosses the borders oT the state lie

Mr.. Tillman said that "as a matter

whereupon he wrote to the composer
complaining of having been put to con-

nothing and inclosing bill for thirty
two liri, with a request for the money.
Among the items was one of two liri
for "detestable supper" Verdi de-

and should not be passed over without
much consideration and planning by
the hostess.
A single centerpiece could be made
by covering the largest gas globe
with white cotton and set it in a
wreath of holly like a giant SNOWFALL.
Fill the globe with a small gift for
each guest and from the top have
sprigs of holly, mistletoe or sprays OF
red berries.
Attached to each gift should be a
plate of a guest. The ribbon can be
tied around the neck of strutting tur-
key filled with candy and used as a
place card. At the close of the meal
each guest pulls her ribbon and draws
out gift.
Scattered around the table can be
small dishes of cakes and candy set
in beds of holly, to which extra Der
ries are-tied to give a more vivid tone.
The four candles or the branching
candelabra can have shades Of bright
red paper under the cut-silver frames
IL one owns them; or paper shades can
be made in a blunt wedge-shape, with
sprays of holly or poinsetta painted on
each of the four sides.
IL the dinner is not to be long the
ribbons coming from the SNOWFALL can
,, end in a large gilt star at each plate,
with an individual red candle in the
center, stuck in a small tin holder.
A decoration that would give much
pleasure to children, would be to COW
err dishpan with greens, fill it with
small gifts and on the top as on a
nest, have n huge goose sitting.
This goose can be made of cardboard
and covered with cotton batting. The
bill is painted bright yellow and shoe
buttons are stuck in for eyes. At
tached to each gift could be string of
evergreen leading to a plate and end
