CRIMINAL CODE NOT
POPULAR IN SPOKANE
Attorneys of That City Think 1t Has
Provisions Which Should Not
Be Allowed to Exist-Look
for Repeal.
for Repeal.

| SPOKANE, June 24-Peace officers
of the various cities and counties ir
Washington are experiencing what they
mildly term "a monkey and parrot time
! over the new criminal code, which
classes as misdemeanors such things as
tipping" cigarette smoking or having
them in possession, screening saloon
| windows and the presence of women in
places where liquors are servd. Many
outside of Spokane county have been
arrested and fined for smoking the lit
tie paper sticks.
There are numerous opinions as to
the ocnstitutionality of the law, but the
chief questions involved are: Had the
commission created in 1908 by Governor
Mead authority to frame new code;
and may a bill contain many subjects,
when the constitution clearly provides
that no bill shall contain more than
one. and that must be expressed in
the title.
Prominent lawyers in Spokane say
that if the anti-tipping law is con-
stitutional, then Hemen D. Hunt, a
justice of the peace at North Yakima,
is technically guilty, from the fact that
he accepted five cents change in a case
where a cigarette smoker was fined
$40 and cost. amounting to 1926, and
rendering $13, remarked as he left the
court room: Judge, you may keep
the change
Leaders of the bar are agreed that
many provisions of the code are I'M
constitutional, and George F. Wander
veer, chairman of the commission re-
sponsible for the law, which was rushed
through during the closing hours of the
last legislature, believes that some
changes should be made during the ex-
ira session now sitting at Olympia.
Many members are disposed to repeal
the law in it's entirety, as they look upon
it as a monstrosity, designed especially
for the county prosecutors, who, it has
developed, are preparing to urge even
more drastic measures than are now
containd in the code.

Of white in their composition.
Stripes of all kinds usually running
horizontally are liked by the parasol
makers, and various arrangements of
silk are shown in profusion. Tucked
naraso1s are on the counters usually
of plain silk bordered by band of
Powered silk. Hand painted parasois
are not so popular as they were
though they are also to be found.
Sticks are of all sorts of designs,
some of beautiful woods and perfectly
plain, others are smooth, ending in
carved birds heads or an animaFs
head. Some of the handles are plain
with large fiat knob at the end on
which miniature faces are printed and
when well done are very beautiful.
Another idea is to decorate the handle
with a spray of flowers that is twined
pensive handles are of carved ivory.
A collar of lawn edged with Cluny
in Elton shape is one of the fads of
the present moment.
The hair should be puffed out more

by competent judges to be the best
exhibit of the kind at the fair. The

While the exhibit is not as large as
some other counties, yet the samples
there clearly demonstrate the wonder

ner may be used with good effect.
In fancy necKwear the styles would

are to be seen and many are the new
developments of old ideas. In this
| category come the stocks of sheer ba-
tiste and lace finished at the front

rectoire styles prevail these dainty
neck trimmings are sure to find favor,
as they are distinctive feature of the
period of which the present styles are
an echo. Prim little bows of ribbon
stock and jabot meet and the craze for
metallic gauze effects has brought
into prominence coquettish bows of
gold and silver ribbon.
The present season has brought out
flood of Irish crochet ties, pendants
and tassels. Just now, owing to the
growing tendency to exposing the
throat many beautifully shaped turn
over collars of Irish lace are to be
found round in outline with a decided
dip in front. This opens up another
field of usefulness for this popular
lace, either for the entire collar of
inserting and edging on a collar of
lawn or batiste. There fere cuffs to
match these low-eut collars and such
sets are among the novelties in dainty
accessories.
Many little balls and pendants of
gold and silver tinsel thread are used
to decorate the various sorts of neck

parasols have an embroidery design

BEER IS A FOOD

NEW YORK June 24--At the con-
vention of the Associated Pure Food So
ciety, being held this week, the emil
nent Professor Dr. Emil Gierig, of
Halle Sachsen, Germany, in speaking
upon the food value Of liquids, said:
Beer is a food, just as we consider
bread milk and meat as food. The nu-
tritive value of food depends upon
certain ingredients which can be group
ed under three heads, protein (albumen
carbohydrates and fats.) The protein
is present in the white of an egg, in
the casein of milk, the gluten of wheat
and the lean parts of meat. The carbo-
hydrates include starch, dextrines and
sugar and are contained mainly in ce-
reals, bread and vegetables. The fats
are present in meats, fish and butter
These three classes of nutritive sub
stances, the protein, carbohydrates and
fats are essential to maintain life.
Some build up tissues, other serve
to give the necessary energy to the body
in the form of heat and muscular pow

lated from the nutritive ingredients
contained therein and is expressed as
