a BIG MAJORITY is FOR II.
Measure, Substituted by the House
For the Kenyon-sheppard Bill, Pro-
hlblts Interstate Shipments OF
Liquor into Dry States.

Washington. BY an overwhelming
vote Of $40 to 65, the House passed
the Webb Anti-LiQuor Shipment bill,
a companion measure to the Kenyon
Sheppard bill now pending In the
Senate, both Of which are framed to
stop the transportation through inter-
state commerce Of intoxicants from
wet to "dry'' States where the
liquors are to be used In violation OF
the laws of dry" States.
The bill ran gantlet Of stormy
debate. 1t was assailed as "fiim-
fam" measure, as ineffective as a
legal instrument to break up Illicit
liquor traffic and as unconstitutional.
Its friends defended it as a statutory
provision which will give State au-
thorities power TO seize intoxicants
when satisfied the latter are to be
used In violation of the prohibition
laws. The supporters of the bill de-
clared that it is framed not to pro
shibit the shipment OF liquors for
household, personal and medicinal
use. but the transportation of intoxi-
cants to 4bootleggers.' "bIind tigers

Bruges, Belgium. AT the beginning
Of the fourteenth century Bruges was
city Of 100000 inhabitants. It was
not only the most important city In
Flanders, but next to Venice the
greatest trade center In the world.
Its harbor was filed with ships, and
its people were enormously wealthy.
Their homes were filled with every
luxury. Their churches and public
buildings were beautiful, and the In
sides were decorated with precious
gems, beautiful windows and exquisite
carvings.
Art hourished as the town grew
richer, and it produced such painters
as Van Eyck and Hans Memlinc.
Then came an awful blight upon
the city. The ziv!jn, or chanenl,
which connected Bruges with the sea
became clogged up with sand and
mud. At first 1t was only the larg-
est ships that could not get past, but
gradually the sand became SO high
that it formed d bank across the
zivijn and Bruges was cut of from
the sea. And with the loss Of trade
the town became deserted and fell
into decay. The people that remain
ed behind became SO poor that aims
houses had to be stationed through
out the city and it fell upon the
church to support them. Even to-
this day out Of the $4,000 Inhabitants
it still retains, II 900 are paupers.
1t is a very sad old town and seems
to be in dreamy slumber from
which even the gayest sunshine cam
not awaken it. It's brilliant glory has
faded, but mellower beauty is left
that is still more poetic and alluring.
The belfry alone seems to have
lived through the past. and it rises
high in the market place like an old
mother watching her sleeping chill
dren. The belfry Is the heart ana
soul of Bruges. In olden days q
watchman was stationed here always
to signal the approach Of enemies or
the breaking out of fire.
(, In the square below the belfry
market is held, and here everything
can be bought from piano to q
collar-button. In the corner Of the
market place is the famous chapel Of
the Holy Blood. In the under part of
