Webb Law Intellectual.

Homer Guardian Journal: The
Federal law recently passed by Con-
gress known as the Webb law in
TENDED to prohibit the shipping OF
intoxicating liquors into dry or pro-
hibition territory, has been con-
strued by the Attorney General to
be without effect in SO far as prose
cutions under the Federal statutes
are concerned
| While the law prohibits inter
state traffic in liquors, it contains no
penalty for its violation, and hence
/ is harmless in its effect.
! The Attorney General gives it as
his opinion that the law was merely
! intended to confer upon the States
/ the jurisdiction to prosecute III
cases Of interstate shipment. That
is, the shippers from other States
can not claim any privileges Or pro-
lection on account Of interstate
commerce..
Whether this was the intention 81
the Federal law makers or whether
it was0an oversight in not providing
penalty for such acts we have no
means Of knowing, but as no penalty
has been prescribed no criminal
prosecution can be sustained, @and
Attorney General McReynolds has
so instructed all the United States
district attorneys.
President Taft and his Attorney
General held that the law was UNI
constitutional, for the reason that i
violated the interstate commerce
clause Of the Constitution by con-
ferring upon the States the author
ity to regulate interstate commerce,
but the bill was passed over the
Presidents veto.
So, after all, the cause Of prohl-
bition will not be benefited by this
law unless the States enact leglsla-
ton to carry it into effect.

For the LIVING Room.

There are many dainty articles
which the clever needleWoman can
make for her living room which re-
quire minimum amount Of time, but
add much to the beauty Of the home.
& For the living room in summer
everything should be- made Of wash
able materials, SO that they can be
kept fresh and clean during the dusty
months. This will not be a difficult
problem, for many OF the most artistic
fabrics serving as background for
embroidery will launder successfully.
The heavy linens usually forming the
basis for the lovely craftsman table
covers, draperies and cushions, the
scrims, easement cloths and bur1aps
cannot suffer harm through washing.
Make the table'runner, cushions, mag
azine covers and draperies Of any one
Of these materials and stamp them
with an artistic conventional design,
Embroider this with colors to harmo.
nize with those used in the room.
The bulgarian work, done with col
ored woods or mercerized cotton, is
! very popular at present and appropri-
ate for the living room.
Choose linen of d loose, coarse weave
for the background, and for the table
runner cut q strip long enough to ex-
tend ten or twelve inches over each
end, not including the hem.
Stamp the design at each end and
embroider It with bright tones Of blue,
red, yellow and green, with touches Of
black or dark brown. ELL I'd the motifs
with satin stitch, first padding with
white darning cotton. For the cushions
cut two rectangular pieces Of linen,
one for the top and the other for the
back. Embroider panel OF the Bull
garian work at each end and finish the
edge Of the pillow with cord.
