DOG pilots Nurse and Baby.

Wanda, the Polish nursemaid Of the
Mailer household Of Darby, has dem
onstrated to the family that, while she
can speak no English and doesn't know
n Darby street from another, she can
think herself out of any difficulty once
she gets lost.
One evening Wanda was instructed
to take the family's proudest posses
sion, Minnie, a 15-pound incubator
baby, out for an airing.
Wanda was so intent on looking aft
n the baby's personal interests that
she got lost.
AS night fell she decided she sim
ply must get home, so she set her
mind to work on the problem. At last

Wanda had seen the dog around the
Mailer home, and she thought that If
she followed him she would get back

COURT WILL DECIDE
LEGALITY OF LIQUOR
SEIZURE BY STATE
Question at Issue Is Can Common
Carrier Waive Right to Become
Warehouseman for Shipments

Montgomery. November 15--(special.)
The dispute which has arisen in Alabama
as to whether or not a railroad or steam
ship company can waive the right to be-
come a warehouseman after a shipment
Of liquor has been at the station Of the
consignee three days and hold the ship
ment as a common carrier for an in
definite period was submitted to the su-
preme court Tuesday in an appeal Of the
state versus the Pensacola, St. Andrews
and Gulf Steamship company from the
city court of Mobile. A decision will de-
ternine whether or not the state after
three days may seize undelivered ship
ments OF liquor from common carriers.
In the Mobile cases liquors valued at
about 5000 were held by the steamship
company for about six days when they
were seized by the state, the states
contention being that at the end Of three
days the steamship company relinquished
becomes a warehouseman for the liquor.
The charge also was made that the ship
ments were for fictitious consignees. The
steamship company claimed that It
waived its right to become a warehouse
man and continued its liability as a
common carrier, thus giving It the right
to hold the liquor for an indefinite period.
The case is of general Importance. as a
decision adverse to the company Will
mean that the state may seize all ship
ments Of liquor which have been in the
possession of transportation companies
longer than three days as the law says
liquor cannot be stored In warehouses.
