DEVON HORSE SHOW
WILL BE GREATEST
EVER HELD IN EAST
Many Prominent Society
People Kept at Home Be-
cause of War Will Make
1t a Fashion Event Sec
ond to None.

Expert horsemen from many parts of
the country will preside at the 18th an
nual Devon horse show, which will be
held May 27, 2S, 30 and 81 at Devon polo
field, and which will be the greatest out
door horse show ever held in the East.
In addition to the judges. who will be the
best obtainable in the land, there is in
tense fashionable interest in the show
this year. The presence of many per-
sons who in peaceful times would be
abroad at this time of the year insures a
fashionable attendance that has not been
equaled since the show was revived some
years ago.
The Devon show, from the standpoint
of attendance has always eclipsed that
of any other horse show. not even ex-
,ceptng the old Philadelphia horse show
at st. Martins. at which the horse al
ways had to rival the audience. The old
show at Wissahickon Heights, as it was
then called, was always the Mecca for
the fashion of the city. Devon has never
had to take a back seat. and its suprem-
acy will be manifest more this year than
ever before. 1t is understood that the
show officials are having little diff
Guilty in finding boxes for the many ap-
plicants. Some boXholders, who sublet
their reservations in previous years, have
asked for them this year, and that has
made it necessary to find places for box
holders of last year and the year before
who desire reservations, but for whom
there are no available places. By inge-
nious combinations the management has
about solved the problem in a manner
which would do credit to any diplomatic
circle. To settle the matter and leave
every one satisfied is a task which no
one cared to face. However, the list
will be announced in a few days.

ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDS
LAWS EFFECTIVE ON JUNE =

Fargo.-in the opinion of Attorney
General H. j. I.inde some of North
Dakota's new laws will become effec
tive June and the rest July 1. Those
to which there was an emergency
clause attached, even though it was i'm.
properly passed. will be held up only
for the 80 days following legislative
adjournment on March 5. The fact
that the emergency clause received a
majority vote indicated the intent of
the legislature, but the failure to give
it a two-thirds vote, as provided under
the new constitutional amendment
does not make a measure immune
from the application of the .referen-
dun. This class of legislation will be-
come effective June S, and all meas
ures to which no attempt was made to
add emergency clauses will become
laws July 1. Attorneys are divided in
their opinion, though a majority appear
to agree with the attorney general.
