and her home in this sad hour Of
bereavement, therefore, We the
Red Cross Auxiliary assembled
do hereby tender and extend to
Mrs. Eddie Mizell, and to her
family, our earnest and sincere
continuance Of sympathy in this
her hour of bereavement. We
know that human sympathy and
human consolation can have but
little effect in times like this,
but all that human friendship,
human respect, and fraternaI
love can offer we extend to her
in the fullest degree, and we say
to her as her associates and
friends to grieve not as those
who have no hope, but to look
upward and onward to that bet.
ter land where sickness and sor.
row comes not and parting shall
be no more. We say to her to
bow with all submission that is
possible to the human mind, to
the Divine decree, and to look
forward to that eternal meeting
where parting shall be no more.
Be it further resolved that a

registration was accepted Thurs
day by the New Orleans division
of the committee.
These announcements featured
an extensive list of plans given
out Thursday in the campaign to
enlist the full aid of women j..

mittee. Miss Hilda Phelps, di-
rector, moved into new quarters
donated by the city in the How
ard Annex Friday afternoon.
Mayor Behrman authorized the
city section Thursday to use the
Council Chamber for meetings
and the first meeting was in the
afternoon under the chairman
ship of Mrs. W. A. Porteous.
The state section has been using
quarters donated by the st.
| Charles Hotel this summer.
Miss Hilda Phelps, chairman Of
the state committee. and Miss
Bertha Wolbrette, secretary, an
nounced Thursday that organiza.
ton of the entire state to work
for registration and food card
pledging now and to continue
women's activities after October
II is complete. 1t took all sum-
mer to do this. Five thousand
women are organized 50 they can
help. The office of tue state wo-
mems committee is flooded daily
with letters from women who
want to know how they can help.
Miss Wolbrette said that regis .
tration is the initial step to ans
wer them and explained that the
idea which she says many people
have that registration is all they
should do is a mistake. She said,
"We register them to find out
if they can help, whether they
want work for pay or wish to dc
volunteer work, whether they art
trained to do or wish to learn tc
do. An imme diate follow.ur
move by the committee will be tc
get a list from men who have
federal contracts and all Others
who wish to give the information
how many women they want tc
work and what they want them
to do. We-will assign women
who ask training into classes ano
call upon state women's organi-
cations to provide teaching.
"The difficulty with our work
now is that we don't yet feel the
need of woman power because Sc
few men have been withdrawn
from active life. This need must
come. England didn't feel it al
first. She soon did. France and
Canada after three years wal
are now forced to register and
and enlist women's help.

WILL REED AMENDMENT
NULL|FY GEORGIA LAW?
Lawyer Declares Federal
Amendment Re-OeIegateS
Power Over Commerce

Will the operation of the Reed
gress and effective on July l, nullify
Georgia's bone-dry prohibition law?
This question has been raised by a
prominent Atlanta lawyer and former
Judge who does not wish his name used,
and it is based on the point that the
Reed amendment permits the trans.
porting into dry states of liquors and
wines for medicinal, scientific. mechani-
cal and manufac turing purposes. while
in a subsequent section it provides that
such transportation of wines and
liquors cannot be made into states
which have laws to the contrary.
Explaining the point the attorney
saws tnat undoubtedly congress and
congress alone has the power to regu-
late interstate commerce, and that
WREN it passes a law permitting the
transportation of liquors into dry
states it was within its constitutional
rights but when it went a step fur
ther and said that this regulation of
interstate commerce I'm liquors could be
stopped by state law IL reoeleSdIeu
to the state the right to regulate the
interstate commerce. d power which II
could not convey.
Therefore, it is argued, if the Reed
amendment - tested in the United
States supreme court it's first provision
will no doubt be upheld "a constitu-
tional while it's second provision will
most likely be set aside. TINS effect
of this would be for the federal Jaw
to permit shipments of liquor and wines
into dry states for certain purposes and
to set aside any state law which con-
ficted with the federal statute.

First-It has been found by expert
ence that this would be the most eff
ficient way to secure uniform enforce
ment of the law throughout the state.
Second-To have no commissioners
would mean that the law would be en-
forced in some counties and not en-

The governors appeal was without
effect and the senate agreed to the ac-
tion of the house in substituting the
house bill for the bill already passed by
the senate.
A record for rapid engrossing of a
law was set by Major D. F. McClatchey,
secretary of the senate. and E. B.
Moore, clerk of the house, who with
their forces of clerks engrossed the
long bill within three hours, from to
