COURT OF APPEALS
ON BILLUPS BILL
Working For Weeks TO Entangle Legal
Mess Caused BY Conflicting
Clauses Of Booze Bill.

Guthrie, Okla, May The Grim
inal court of appeals has for several
weeks been engaged in hearing ap-
peals from county courts on liquor
questions. and in constituting the law
along with the federal interstate
laws. The court has found several
features Of the Billups bill that con-
aicts with the Interstate laws on
shipping liquors The court also finds
where the Billups bin conflicts with
the constitution Of the United states.
In handing down recent opinion, and
in speaking OF the constitution Of the
United States, the opinion reads.
Certainly no reasonable person
will expect the court, no matter what
our personal opinion 70 render a de-
cision IN conflict with the constitu-
tion, to do so would be civil war
treason and ruin would follow after
"Oklahoma has been listed as one

hibit the shipment OF liquor into pro

difficult to enforce absolute prohibit

bow can be placed at the back of the
neck or at the side, whichever suits
the fancy Of the wearer.
Some persons object to the fluting
at the top of the high Gibson stocks,
SO for this class has been manufact-
ured what Is known as the Gibson
ruching, which is really only a cord
covered with silk. The double ruch-
ings come in all sizes and colors, and
can be worn at the top Of the collar
with g. band of velvet between, or
used as a separate collar. An excel

With the new directoire suits and the
large hats all that is necessary to
give the Partisan air to the average
american woman ia the fluted neck
ruff, which is either of silk or incline.
Some of the silk ones are made
with stiff collar, both edges of
which are finished with a wide flut-
ing Of the same colored silk, and fas-
tened with hooks and eyes, which are
hidden beneath large soft bow.
The incline rufus are made with a
stiff collar and completely covered
by rows of the pleated incline, inter-
mingled with numerous loops of mar
row colored velvet and finished with
bow and ends of the same colored
velvet, about an inch in width.

The fad for neck ruchings has ar
rived with vengeance, and so great
sAA the demand for these dlmy little
accessories that the stores can hard
ly fill the orders. The woman OF
P. >~hion has her collars finished with

l1zes what an addition they are to
LAt plain attire and invests in them.
Even the country cousin who
comes to the city to shop falls a prey
to the ruche habit. If PERSONS face
will not allow one of the extremely
large ones to be worn, something
smaller can be obtained. A plain col
lar on miladi's waist is. almost q
thing of the past. The expanse of
neck exhibited from the top of the
collar to the back hair is entirely
hidden by the addition of an ordinary
sized ruching. s. -
If ones face is round and full, it
cannot be denied that a wide'ruchlng
gives a very undesirable effect. but a
smaller one adds just the proper
touch.
The long, tight-fitting sleeves, fin
ished with the same-sized ruching,
gives to the waist quite a pretty ef-

in the making Of the neck rufus, which
can be worn either with the coat or
