vides that hereafter il shall be unlawful
10 sell any Intoxicating liquors in any
snip, shipyard, navy yard. naval sta
ton, building or premises owned by
the Government. All heads OF Govern
ment departments are directed TO see
that this act is enforced.
In actual effect. such a law would cut
off the liquor supply from great num-
Der Of establishments which are now al

excellent chance Of its passage, partly
because there is real sentiment in favor
of it and partly because there Is gen

movement in favor of further suppress

"Old Mexico" was the general title
Of a charming series Of pictures that

its picturesque people. its gorgeous
scenery Of mountain and plain and its
widely diversified climatic conditions,
which add to the strange intermingling
Of old and new world customs The
pictures reflect great credit upon the
photographer, whose care in the selec-
ton Of subjects gives such a wide
range Of scenes, as well as TO the artist
whose brush gave TO them their pleas

With dubious snif at her waist

AS the lecture had not begun, Mrs
Lloyd had leisure to notice and feel a
quick, suspicious glance from. the males

she realized to her horror that stealthy
fumes Of gasolene we're rising about her.

Just here, to Mrs, Lloyd's ehagrin, the
majestic woman gave one last resentful
sniff and foricby wedged her way
through the crowd to a spot some ten
feet distant.
1t was unsympathetic, to say the least,
and gentle little Mrs. Lloyd was so ruff
fled by the incident that she found her
self unable to listen to the lecture and
decided TO leave the hall. The door had
just swung together behind her when it
opened again.

friend Had TO come out 10 breathe,
