DRYS FAIL TN TEST OF
POWER IN NEW YORK
Ratification of National Amendment
Virtually Defeated at Meet
ing of Senate.

ALBANY. n. Y, March 21--Defeat of
the ratification by the New York leg
islature of the prohibitory amendment
to the federal Constitution was virtual
~ accomplished last night when the
dry forces in the senate on a test vote,
in which all their power was displayed,
lacked a majority. The vote was "a for
the ratification clause and IS opposed.
Twenty-six votes were necessary for
success.
The vote was not on the ratification
proposal, but on a parliamentary move
that was essential to the success of the
dry cause Soon after the senate con-
vened yesterday afternoon, the commit
tee on taxation and retrenchment re-
ported the Hill resolution so amended
as to conform in every detail to the
Machofd referendum bill that was sub
st1tuted in the assembly last week for
action was indefinitely postponed by an
overwhelming vote in the lower house
Tuesday.
In order to bring the question of rat
1hcation squarely before the senate it
was necessary to suspend the rules in
order to discharge the committee. of the
whole from consideration of the amend
ed resolution and to recommit it to the
taxation committee with instructions
TO report the resolution forthwith in
It's original form. 1t was on the motion
TO suspend the rules that the test vote
was taken last night after nearly FIVE
hours OF debate and maneuvering for
Strategic parliamentary advantage.

like that because things never get so
bad that they couldn't be worse, and
always they are likely to get better.
But if his wish was foolish he might
well be forgiven for making it, for
jerry certainly was in trouble. He was
in. more trouble than he ever had been
in before in all his life, and he wasn't
himself the least little bit to blame for
it. 1t was all the fault of gentle Sister
South Wind because she had melted
the snow so fast.
First, the Laughing Brook had stopped
laughing and had begun to roar angri-
" because water was running into 1t
faster than it could be carried down to
the Big River Then the Smiling Pool
had risen higher and higher until at
last the water was quite over the ROOF
of Jerry Muskrat's house, where he mad
spent the winter so comfortably. Hav-
ing to leave that nice house was bad
enough but far worse was 1t to be
driven out of the snug house IN the
bank to which he had gone with never
doubt of it's safety. When at last the
water had crept in there and forced
Jerry to leave he had nowhere to go.
He was homeless.
When Jerry came to the surface of
the water for air fear clutched at his
heart Yes. sir, that is just what hap
pened And it was fear such as he
never in all his life had known before
1t was fear of the Laughing Brook. AL
ways had he regarded the Laughing
Brook as friendly, but now it struck
terror to his heart for it was too
strong for him, and in spite of all he
could do it was carrying him along in
its swift current.
Jerry looked this way and looked that
way, and in his surprise and feeling OF
being lost he almost forgot to keep
swimming. There was no Smiling Pool.
There were no Laughing Brook and
Green Meadows. AS far as Jerry could
see the Great World had turned to
water, What had happened was that
the water of the Laughing Brook and
the Smiling Pool had risen until it crept
over their banks and out across the
Green Meadows, while the water in the
Big River was doing the same thing,
and so, because he wasn't high enough
to see beyond, it looked to Jerry as II
there was no land anywhere.
4 big log came floating along. Jerry
climbed up on it to rest. He was too
upset to think. So, at first he didn't

More Boys to Camp Dix.

Thirteen men were called to Elem
ington Tuesday to be mustered into
army service, the first nine whom
left for Camp Dix yesterday morn
ming. They were: Hartwell Blackwell
Cray, Roy j. Somers, William Cox
Melick, Larry Covert, Percy Hott-
man, Harry V. Dilley, Ralph Thomas
Lippincot, George Pursell, Elmer X,
House, Robert Harpence, John Earl
Stout, Hugh l. Devlin, Cecil Tiffany.
Three of the lot were farmers,
two labores, one blacksmith, two
clerks, and one stove worker, weav-
er, paper maker, trainman, and stem
ographer. The local complaint that
farmers have been heavily drawn
from is apparently borne out dy the
fact that one-third of the nine sent
today were farmers, and two others
labors, probably more or less ac'
quainted with farm work.

HOW ROBIN EARNED HIS FOOD
Sculptor, Unknown, First Applied Him.
self to Various Vacations, Ac-
cording to Judith Cladel.

In "Rodin: The Man and His
Work." Judith Cladel tells how, in
order to live, the famous sculptor,
then unknown, applied himself to
the most varied occupations:
ale Clipped at stone and marble
for the benefit of soul pture then in
vogue he made sketches for trinkets
for certain fashionable jewelers., and
fashioned certain objects of decora-
tive art ordered of him by manufac-
turers. Despite a considerable loss
of time, he obtained thus a true APP
premiership in art wholly like that
which in earlier days was obtained
by Ghiberti, Donatello and most of
the great artists of the Renaissance,
who were proud to be good artisans
before they were accounted great
sculptors. Thus finally he was en-
abled to realize his first dream-to
have an atelier of his own. His ate
lierl 1t was a stable, at a rental of
$24 year, in the Rue Lebrun, in the
quarter of the Gobelins, near which
he was born. 1t was cold howell
cave, indeed-with a well sunk in an
angle of the one wall that at every
season exhaled its chilling breath. 1t
did not matter. The place was suf-
fciently large and well lighted.
There he accumulated a quantity of
studies and works until the place
was so crowded that he could scarce
ly turn himself about, but being too
poor to have them cast he lost the
greater part of them. Sometimes the
clay, through being too soft, would
settle and fall asunder; sometimes it
would become dry, crack and
crumble."
