OPINION OF BLACK

Hugo L. Black. solicitor of Jefferson county, who is making campaign against the blind tigers of Montgom- cry, does not believe the decision of the supreme court permitting the transporta- tion of liquor in automobiles on public highways as interstate commerce will se- riously interfefe with the enforcement Of the prohibition laws, because the Juues will not believe persons arrested on charges of violating the prohibition laws really were transporting the liquors through the state as interstate commerce.

WANTS COOKS WITH TEETH.
Recruiting Sergeant Disguised with
Physical Defects of Applicants.

BOSTON, Sept. 25.-If it takes two
weeks to get two carpenters how long
will il take to enlist eleven cooks? That
is problem which is puzzling the of
ticers in charge Of recruiting here for
the quartermaster S department of the
National army Two of the cooks want
ed and all of the eighteen chauffeurs
desired are to be sent overseas within
a short time. There is need also for l25
teamsters and four mess sergeantS. The
carpenters were secured at a time when
there was a tremendous rush of build
ing and when wages were excessively
high, which may have strong bearing
en- the solution of the problem now in
hand. However, there seems to be a
good demand for cooks and the officers
say that the greatest difficulty is not
to find cook but one who can measure
Iup to the physical requirements. They
all seem to be minus teeth or toes, or
something, said the sergeant, in dis
gust. For mess serg2antS we will be
| glad to get anyone who has had expe
rience as a counterman or sort of semi
boss in a restaurant We have some
| good Jobs open for them, also for cooks
and chauffeurs.

HAVANA, Sept. 25.-The proposed

BY ]. H. DUCKWORTH

NEW YORK, April 2S.-The
next time you are in New York,
and find yourself with nothing to
do after the show, drop In at JUS
tine Johnstone's Little club If you
feel real devilish.
Here you may raise the very
deuce with folk who keep buffers,
and all that sort of thing.
You may sit at the next table
to men who by day help finance
the allies and who by night, when
their stern business duties are
over, seek to revive their frazzled
nerves in the celebrating COM
pany of youthful footlight favor
ites.
Justine Johnstone's Little club
is a cabaret for the 400"
Vt is in the cellar of the Forty
fourth street theater. Miss John

lures and cunning curves have
adorned many an ad., acts as man
ager and hostess of the club.
Justine Comes Nightly.
She arrives every night immedi-
ately after her performance in
"Oh, Boy" and remains until the
late hours of the early morning.

which used to come from Stuff

have been victims this week of
Tacoma's dog poisoner, according
to estimates of the police Satur-
