The Willis Wood theater, which was
recently opened in Kansas City, Mo-.
was christened with White Rock min
eral water instead of champagne. This
happened not because things are usual
" done that way in Missouri, but be.
cause Kansas teachings had taken so
firm hold on the manager, citizen
from the latter state, that he still
did things the Kansas way despite the
example of his adopted state.

Part Of Game Law Invalid.

r. F. Walker, in an opinion concurred
in by Judge John G. Brown, Judge c.
B. Faris not sitting in this case, de-
clared unconstitutional the sections
of the game and fish law forbidding
the possession or handling of dyna-
mite or other explosives without a
permit issued by the county clerk.
Judge Walker declares these sec
lions invalid for the reason that the
title of the act carrying them con-
tains no reference to them.
The rest of the act relative to the
protection of game and fish is de-
clared to be valid, as the title under
which it was passed indicates the
character of the provisions.
