STOCKS OF BOOZE; SUPREME
COURT KILLS QUART.A-MONTH

Tallahassee, Aug. 1.-THE supreme
court today declared unconstitutional
certain features of chapter 1884 Of the
acts Of 1917. popularity known as the
"quart-a-month" liquor law.
The question came before the court
| in the habeas corpus proceeding Of
exparte James Francis from Dade
county. The opinion of the supreme

tice Ellis.
A dissenting opinion was filed by
Justice Whitfield which is concurred
in by Justice West.

ties the possession or ownership by
any citizen in "dry" counties or ter
ritory during any period of thirty
days or more than one quart of spirit
uous or vinous liquors and six quarts

MIAMI MAY LOSE
MARINE SCHOOL

Miami Aug. 14.-Whether Miami
will succeed in retaining the marine
aviation camp at Curtiss field is an
undecided problem.
E. G. Sewall, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, who re.
turned yesterday from Washington
after an absence of fifteen days In
the east, could not say today wheth.
er the Miamians have succeeded in
changing the mind of the military
authorities from their decision TO
move the camp.
IF we retain it." Mr.. Sewall re.
marked, ut will be because we have
dug it out of apparent defeat. II we
lose it, the loss will be a great one
to Miami"
1t will be remembered that two
months ago Mr.. Sewall appeared be.
fore the board of county commits
sioners and stated that there was
danger of losing the camp partly be-
cause the county had not met re-
quirements in furnishing road facili'
ties. He pleaded for more roads to
the camp, but nothing tangible re.
suited to any appreciable extent. The
note of warning as to conditions was
sounded at that time, and the situa'
tion now is one the outcome OF
which no man can predict
while In Washington | did every.
thing possible to retain the marine
camp said Mr.. Sewall. Il found
that complaints had reached Wash.
ington departments of conditions at
the camp, mainly the sandy soil
which interfered with the landing
machines without getting grit in
them. These conditions complained
of are mainly because the govern,
ment has only spent about $4,000
ON the Curtiss field, whereas there
are no aviation fields in the country
costing the. government less than a
million dollars Yet the Miami ma
rine camp has turned out some of
the best fliers, in large numbers, is
given a black eye for this sandy
condition, whereas it is not wholly
the fault of our people. | took the
matter up with the chief naval air
operations and General Barnett, head
of the marine corps and their assis-
tants. They agreed to send a COM
mission to Miami and other Florida
points.

WORLD SERIES TO
TO GET EARLY START

New York, Aug. 14.---If the World
Series is played, as proposed, begin
ming on September or this fall il
will be the earliest start since the
baseball classic was first staged
more than thirty years ago. Strange
to say the initial series, which was
held in 1884, was not begun until
October 90, which Is the latest date
ever selected for the playing of such
a series Another coincidence is the
fact that the last series played be.
for the National Commission as.
sumed control was also started at an
earlier date than any other before Or
since.
Curtailing the present big league
season by full month naturally
moves forward the World Series date
by an equal period and should the
National and American League pen
nant winning clubs clash for the
premier honors Of the professional
diamond as In previous and Lcrmal
seasons, the teams will be battling at
a time when, in other years, the ulti-
mate flag winners were frequently
in doubt.
During the period between 1884
and 1897 the opening date of tie big
series fluctuated all the way from the
first days of October to we'll past
the middle Of that month. During
the years when the National League
and the American Association clubs
competed, the initial games were US.
ually played on date ranging be-
tween October 10 and Is. Later
when the National and American
teams took up the series contest, the
earlier days of the month were more
popular.
Under the control of the National
Commission the date of the first
game from year to ycar varied from
October to as late as October IT,
The series of last year began on Oc-
tober which was the earliest date
ever selected for the play under the
direction of the interleague tribunal.
For the period between 1884 and 1917
covering some twenty-six World
Series the average date works out as
Oct. 10 which is some thirty-odd
days later than 1t is proposed 10
start the series this season, should
tho various authorities and forces
involved agree that such a climax to
the baseball season is desirable this
Autumn.

ELEPHANT HERDS
JOIN THE ENTENTE

Washington, Aug. 14.--Six thou
sand miles from Germany, half way
between Mandalay and Bangkok,
great herds of Asiatic elephants are
working from dawn to dusk along
the salween and Chow Phega Rivers

into RATS with a dexterity that would
exicte the admiration of a Minnesota
lumberjack.
Thousands and thousands Of these
teak RATS float down the river to tide
water and eventually arrive at Ran.
COON and Bangkok. Thence they
are shipped to the navy yards Of the
allies to be turned into the invinc'

armor base of the battleships of Am
erica and France.
These elephants a-pilin' teak In

some sort of resinnous pine substi.

Allies may continue to use the one
wood imprevious to water and a
shock absorber of the first rank, on
which nickel-stel armor nlate may
best be bolted. Since Siam declared
war on Germany a year ago she has
speeded up her teak production, as
she has all her other industries, and

nations of the world.
The basis for Slams actions were
'aese three considerations: Ger

principles of humanity and for the
rights of small powers, her barbarous
methods of conducting war, and the
