Rev. DR.. James Cannon. Jr.. super
inten6ent OF the Anti-Saloon League
OF Virginia, writes in this weeks Chris
tian Advocate:
Ii Is now expected that the house
OF Representatives Will vote before the
Christmas holidays upon the resolu-
ton to submit national constitutional
prohibition to the several states.
Speaker Clark has voiced the prevail
ing sentiment in congress that 1t is
right to give day TO debate and to
a vote on the resolution. There has
been a great change in conditions In
many states since the vote was taken
on the Hobson resolution in 1914.
small ma ority In the house voted
in favor of subm ission three years ago,
but the affirmative vote lacked about
ninety of the necessary two-thirds.
The national legislative committee
Of the Anti-Saloon League Of America
has been working steadily and per
slstentiy since December, 1914. to Sc
cure the needed two-thirds vote.
While other important prohibition
measures have been presented and ad-
vocated by the committee, and finally
passed by congress, nothing has been
allowed to obscure the fact that the
great goal of congressional action is
the submission OF the prohibition con-
stitutions1 amendment. When the
amendment has been subm lifted. the
battle-ground Will be transferred TO the
legislatures Of the fortyelght states,
and when th'rty-six states have adopt
ed the resolut on. the partnership OF
tho nation with the liquor traffic Will
have been forever dissolved.
The passage OF the resolution by
the house OF representatives is now
the vital question in prohtbitio on legis-
lation, The senate has passed the
resolution by vote OF three to one.
The vote OF every member will be
important when the resolution Is acted
upon in the house. and Virginia, as
one OF the prohibition states OF the
nation, is naturally expected to cast q
solid vote in favor Of the resolution

About as Bis as a Minute, Yet She
Is q Bib Feature With the Great
Carl Hagenbeck- Wallace Circus.

There are over 400 internationally
famed artists with the Carl Hagen
beck-Wallace Circus, which will ex-
hibit in Logan on August 2, yet the
spirit of the colossal performance is
epitomized by Miss Marceline Lenzen,
a dainty, bewitching bit Of humanity,
who dances and romps on n slender
steel wire. The young girl Is a new
conner in the circus ranks. and is a
member OF the Lenzen trio. Miss
Lenzen is about as big as a minute,
yet before she has fairly started her
work, the people in the audience are
shuffling through their programs to
find her name. The biggest hit in
the show by the littlest girl. Mar
celine is aged twenty-five, she stands
four feet six, she wears 10 1-2 chill
dren's shoes, and until this season
she appeared only in England and on

Wby Should Not Beauty and Originality Be d

of Those Made by Hand

was day of slavish imitation that is passing.
And underlying the desire to give beauty to
our manufactured textiles is also the belief that
the inspiration of primitive motifs especially
of the Western Continent, contains wealth Of
suggestion for original and spirited design.
Back to the Museum" is one of the slogans
of this movement Not with a "dry-as-dust"
idea in the back of the mind but armed with
enthusiasm and imagination; not to copy but
to adapt the beautiful primitive designs and
color schemes to modern use.
1t has been remarked that modern woman is
prone to make herself beautiful in the bold
colors and designs that primitive man once
used! (Mr. George Bernard Shaw will please
take noticeD The idea is somewhat porten
tous if followed through.
AS to ways and means of wedding the ar
lists fancy TO the machine, Mr.. Crawford sent
out invitations to a contest under the auspices
of Women's Wear. The pupils Of the art
schools throughout the country were eSpe-
cially solicited TO try their hands at CONNER
cializing and undermining primitive motifs
from Peruvian, Mexican, American Indian.
Russian, Chinese and Bulgarian primitive art.
Examples Of these motifs were promulgated
by circular, lecture and lantern slides. And
the response exceeded every hope.
From nineteen states, from New York to
Washington and Louisiana to Massachusetts,
came the responses One Of Mr.. Crawfords
pet theories was borne out by the fact that
the laurels went mostly to the amateurs, the
students-though many professionals COM
peted. fourteen out of the twenty-three prizes
awarded going to young girls.
three-ply test was given. Mr.. Albert
Blum, of the United Piece Dye Works, Judged
from the standpoint of commercial adaptabll-
ity; Mr. Henry W. Kent, of the Metropolitan,
passed on the artistic merits Of the design; and
Mr.. Crawford on the legitimate use and devel-
opment of the primitive motif.
Take look at the first prize which drew
its inspiration from a Russian design on a
Koryak fur coat. The black and white does
scant Justice 10 the result as 1t shows up
in two shades Of terra Gotta in the design itself.
And another especially interesting feature of
the first prize is the fact that it was won by
French woman, Mile. Durant de Sumene. of
New York City, who. with the French facility
for graspng an idea and seeing it through,
gave herself with complete earnestness to the
endeavor-albeit she is prominently a hand
decorator herself and an artist trained in Old
World schools.
A young American girl, Miss Martha Rythcr,
claimed the second prize. The inspiration was
drawn from piece Of Indian bead work, the
motif being the magnolia tree. Imagine it
