ALABAMA AND THE CONSTITU-
 TON

From the Louisville Courier-J Journal.
 Dispatches from Mobile and other Ala bama cities are to the effect that heroic efforts are being made to enforce the peculiarly drastic prohibition bill en- acted into law recently. One of the fea- lures of the law that pleases fanatics, but displeases the police who have to put it in operation is a provision un- der which private houses may be searched to discover evidences of violation of the law.
 The fourth amendment of the federal constitution provides as follows:
 ''The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and eff fleets, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the place to be searched and the person or things to be seized.
 The Alabama legislature, under the in- fluence of prohibition wave" which included paid lobby, notwithstanding the Alabama law against lobbying, ran amuck and legislated without deiberating. Of course, the unwarrantable invasion of homes to make llnwarrantable searches of the premises will not long be continued The federal constitution was thoughtful ly drafted and adopted when liberty was highly prized. It was thoughtfully amended to meet popular demand for a more rigid guarantee of the liberty of the American citizen. It stands as a barrier between the unoffending individual and the wild-eyed fanatic who regards as ineligible all rights that interfere with the Accomplishment of his ends.
 The Fuller bill will not seriously incon- vience Alabamians for any length of time. But 1t makes the state somewhat ridiculous

HOW TO PRONOUNCE LATIN

participants in the recent discussion de- clared that the Romans would not have had two letters (c and k) with the same sound. As a matter of fact k is not a Latin letter. In pre-Augustan times it was used; subsequently, it was written c. Except in one or two. archaic forms, like "kal," it never occurs in a Latin word
 So much for the question, by this time become elementary. how Latin ought to be pronounced. Now for the inquiry whether 1t is worth while for England or the United States or any individual scholar therein to adopt the restored pro- nuncation.' If uniformity. the capacity of making oneself understood by Latin scholars in other countries, is desirable an affirmative answer must be given. We must dismiss from our minds the notion that there is such a thing as "continen- tab pronunciation of the Roman speech. French Latin is as unintelligible to Ger mans as the old English way. There are only two alternatives-namely, for every one to adopt the restored pronuncia- tion" or to pronounce Latin like his own language. Obviously the latter course might save a little trouble, but it would be in every case absurdly wrong. MT. Fortescue points out that the silliest plan of all Is for Englishmen to pronounce Latin as if it were bad Italian. We might as we'll pronounce Portuguese like French. Meanwhile 'restored' Latin is winning its way rapidly everywhere. It has con- ouered Germany. is conquering England fast, and is spreading in France and Italy Mr. Fortescue predicts that we shall live to see the day when "the old horrors are remembered with amused con- tempt" We are happy to say that in the United States there has been considerable progress toward the right pronunciation of the Latin tongue, but there is still am- pie room for improvement.

Goats LONGER.

Coats of nearly every kind and for
any wear are somewhat longer this
year than formerly. There are, of
course, some short jackets and some
extremely long coats accompanying
runabout suits, but the minimum av.
erage length for the popular walking
coat is 80 inches.
Right pretty are some of the little
silk coats in la Watteau, shown
among the recent Paris importations.
They are often trimmed with hand.
some laces or galloons and sometimes
with rare embroideries.
Silk coats in the tone of the skirt
are more used than are cloth ones like
the skirt, especially in suits to be
worn for anything like dress occa-
sions. These coats are usually loose
and made in odd styles, in imitation
of 25 or more years ago.

KEEPING THE PIANO IN ORDER
Music Lover Has Growing Plants In
Water in Drawing Room.

A matron who is foud of music and
owns handsome grand piano says
she keeps it in tune much longer and
prevents it from drying out with the
intense heat of her city house by
growing plants in water in her draw
ing room.
She raises Chinese lilies and hya,
cinths in glass bowls and jars and u.s.
ually has standing on the piano or
near it big rose jar or a large glass
pitcher filled with a dozen or more
vines of tradescantia growing in wa
ter.
This vine is better known as wan
dering jew" and thrives as well in
water as in soil. 1t comes in the plain
green and variegated leaves, and is a
charming addition to a room as well
as making the air more moist. The
vines root readily in water and need
comparatively little light.
About once week the plants are
carefully removed, the jar washed and
filled with pure water. A small lump
of charcoal in the water will keep 1t
from getting impure.

USE FOR THE SEPARATE TuNIc.
VIII Transform oId-Fashioned Frock
Into Something Smart.

Clever women have found out that a
separate tunic, made of another ma
terial than the gown and draped over
it, is an excellent method of altering
an old-fashioned frock
There are some skirts that are too
short to be lifted up even for two
inches on the bodice to give the en-
pire effect, and they are too much
out of style to wear as they are.
If the skirt and bodice are put to-
gether by their Innings and two or
three folds of self-colored material
neatly draped around the waistline in
ORDER to make it invisible, the founda-
tiou work is finished.
The tunic may be made of net,
chiffon cloth, bands of net and en-
broidered satin or all-oyer lace edged
with fur or gold galloons.
This is cut with a seam down mid
die of back and neatly draped three
inches above the waistline, headed with
folls of the material or piece of the
trimming used elsewhere.
This tunic drops from bust to
knees and gives the exact line that it
needs this winter on smart frocks.

colors Must Be in Harmony.

No sudden or violent color handling
of snowy colors, in any way whatso-
ever, in suit materials, in millinery, or
in dress trimmings and plumes, is to
be met with this season, says Vogue.
Perfect adaptation and harmony
reigns, which, of course, bespeaks eX-
luisite taste in every direction. A
word about these new colors will fur
nish the right idea of distinct de-
parture from the colors of last season.
