AUBURN PREPARING
 FOR A. & M. SERIES

Auburn, May 1s.--(speciar9-T work of the Auburn team in prepara- tion for the important A. & D. series has been hindered' great deal. Still if they can keep up the article of bali played against the strong Clemson team the chances for victory will be as good as even. Anything like the article of ball displayed against Tech would make the chances very slim indeed. When 1t is taken into consideration that six of the squad are first year men. and four sophomores the work has been unex- pectedly satisfactory. In all the S. I. A. A. games the work of the team has been good, and even brilliant against Georgia and Clemson. In the games out. side the association good form was shown against West Virginia and very poor form against Georgia Tech. The team also played we'll against Colum- bus. getting an even break with the professionals. Besides the A. & M. series one more vii be played with Spring Hill on June and 5.

DENSON LIQUOR LAW
 IS CONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court Holds Act Not in Violation of Inter
 state Commerce Clause

Montgomery. May 13.-lSpecial) That tho "Denson anti-advertising liquor law
 is not in violation of the interstate com merce clause; that it Is not an improper exercise of the states police power, and that it is too clear for further discus- sion that the act became effective over the entire state immediately upon its passage is the opinion of the supreme court of Alabama in decisions today in Birmingham and Mobile cases appealed to that tribunal.
 The Birmingham case was apepaled from the decision of Judge J. H. Miller of the Birmingham city court, in refusing to grant an injunction restraining w. c. Deaye, news dealer of. that city. from selling newspapers and periodicals con- taining liquor advertisements. The de- cision of Judge Miller was reversed by the higher court
 The Mobile case, however, was affirmed. This was an appeal to the higher court by the Mobile Item from the decision of Judge Saffold Burney of the Mobile law and equity court, granting an injunction prohibiting the Item from publishing such advertisements. The courts decision dealt exclusively with the Birmingham case. Associate Justice Gardner wrote the opinion in the case.
 Every phase of the question was dis cussed by the court-the constitutionality of the case under both the federal and state constitutions, the right of the state to enforce the law under its police power regulations. and the time when the law became effective
 In answer to the question that the law conf1icted with the interstate commerce clause, the court said: "Theer can be no question that when newspapers are re- ceived by the defendant from without the state either by mail or in bulk. or in a bundle by express or freight, upon the breaking of the bundle and placing them upon the news stand for sale they would become comHingled with the mass of property in this state and would be sub ject to it's police laws"
 AS to the right of the state to exercise such police powers, the court said that while it had been insisted that the law was void under the constitution as being an improper exercise of such powers we are of the opinion that this insistence is so clearly without merit under the au- thorities as to need but passing notice" The courts opinion was vigorous and clear and upheld every contention of the framers of the law. A similar case 10 those decided with reference to Birming ham and Mobile is now pending in the su- preme court, in which the Montgomery Advertiser is the appellant The Adver- User case is identical with that of the Mobile Item. an injunction having been granted restraining the Montgomery paper from publishing liquor advertise ments.

died by Command That Was
Entirely New to Him.

In all the naval services tradition Is
strong. As Chief Boatswain McCar-
thy. U. 8. N, has shown In an article In
THE Proceedings OF the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to Gus
tom extends to the manner in which
the boatswain'S calls are varied for
different occasions. and even, In the
old navy, at least, It extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English, and the ofilcer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate. who
had his own ideas about passing the
word, and got muddled in interpreting
any unusual order.
On one occasion, the ofiicer OF the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswain's mate, scrub down with
rapidity." This was a new one. and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times, the boatswain's
mate become desperate. He grabbed
a deck bucket, and forced 1t into the
hand of the nearest apprentice, whom
he started on his way with push that
sent the youngster Keeling, and fol-
lowed him with this shout:
go to the captain Of the hold and
ask him for bucketful Of it! never
heard Of anything to scrub a deck with
but sand and lime, and I don't know
anything about these new 'soogy-
moodgies,' anyway."-Youth's Com
