StyLe Suggestions

Young mems models particularly, are cut close to
the figure, high in the waist and sharply indented at
the waistine.
The lapels are much smaller, very shapely and
pointed, rolling in a leisurely fashion to the first or
the second button, according to taste.
g Unusual variety in pockets, too, some cut straight,
others on the bias, others regulation, and still others
of the patch persuasion.
Even the vests are radically new, cut high into the
domain of the %neckwear, and ~affording the novelty of
artistic variation in pockets.

HORSES THAT GO FISHING
North Carolina Catch Fish
at Low Tide.

Along Albemarle sound. on the North
of low, sandy shore, where nothing
grows except coarse grass, few
saltwater weeds and wild parsley, says
an exchange. On these banks lives a
strange breed of half-wild horses,
known as banker ponies" These crea-
lures are generally about twice the
size of Shetland ponies.
Every year the herd owners drive
the bankers" into pens. brand the
foals with the proper mark, and catch
some of the older animals to sell to
the dealers. North Carolinians say
that the beasts must be starved into
eating grain, hay. or grass, for they
have always lived on the rank marsh
grass of the marshes and on fish.
They catch the fish themselves at
low tide; with their hOofs they dig
deep holes in the sand below high wa
ter mark; when the tide falls they
greedily devour the fish that are strand
ed in these holes. Often they fight
briskly over an especially tempting
morsel.
In captivity these strange horses are
intelligent, but seldom are even in tenn
per. Once tanned, they make excellent
draft animals, for they have a strength
that is disproportionate to their size.
Foals that are bred from bankers" in
captivity make valuable animals
strong. healthy. intelligent and far less
vicious than their parents.

'BEAKES PREVENTS
ACTION BY BOARD
Canvassing Body Restrained
From Giving Election Ger
tificate to Bacon.
APPEALS TO SUPREME COURT
Congressman From Second District
Seeks Recount Under State
Statute That Has Never
Before Been Tested.

Lansing.-Despite the decision of
the state canvassing board not to grant
a recount for congressman In Jackson
city, the board cannot issue an election
certificate to Mark X. Bacon for the
Second district, as attorneys for Con-
gresham Beakes made an unexpected
move Immediately after the action Of
the board by serving an injunction on
the members from Circuit Judge Kline
of Washtenaw county, restraining the
board from issuing a certificate to Ba-
con pending the outcome OF the appeal
to the supreme court.
After serving the injunction the
Beakes attorneys filed petition in
the state supreme court asking an or
der against the state canvassing board
to show cause why it should not grant
recount. The board composed Of
the secretary of state, state treasurer
and superintendent of public instruc-
ton, concurred in following the writ
ten opinion Of the attorney general In
refusing the request for recount.
The opinion cited the legal fact that
congress is the judge of the qualifica-
lions Of its members.
The 1913 state statute under which
Beakes claims a recount has never
been tested, but Beakes' action will
force ruling on its constitutionality
and prevent Bacon from getting a
seat on the temporary roll Of congress
through certificate of election. 1t
means the fight for the Second district
congressional seat will be settled In
the state courts rather than In con-
gress, and means legal rather than
a political decision.

or of malt liquor month will be the
legal portion of Michiganders after
June 1. 1913. II the plans of the drys,

Two important points In the pro-
posed legislation settled were the limit
on shipments and plan to create a
commissioner of prohibition who Is to
see to II that the liquor laws arc en-
forced.
There was considerable discussion
among the attorneys whether the
adoption Of the amendment meant that
the use OF liquor was to be prohibited
or merely that the brewery and the
saloon, or. as the amendment puts 1t,
"the manufacture, sale. bartering for
sale or giving away" were to go. Some
thought that the state should be
completely dried up and that all
shipments should be absolutely
stopped. while others were Of con-
trary opinion.

senting the Antisaloon League Of
America, interposed just long enough
to say that even with the most favor
able decision on the Webb-Kenyon bill
by the United States Supreme court,
all a state could do was to limit the
quantity in shipments. 1t could not,
he said, under the Webb-Kenyon bill
and the Michigan amendment, abso-
lutely stop such shipments. 1t was
found that the laws now In force, in

The commissioner of prohibition,

prosecution of violators Of the liquor
laws, Is to work through the attorney

plans. 1t Is not the intention, Attor-
ney Edwin Rawden said, to load down
the state with new job and lot of
