THE SUPREME COURT MAKES
TWO NOTABLE DECISIONS

The United States Supreme Court
has ruled that the Reed Bone Dry
Law absolutely prohibits the impor-
tation, or interstate transportation,
of liquor into dry territory, no mat
ter what exception the State law
may provide.
In a decision on the Web-Kenyon
Act, the Court has held that two
thirds of quorum present is suffi-
cient to pass bill over veto. This
does away with the contention of
the liquor interests that the prohibi-
ton amendment will be invalid be-
cause it was submitted by only two
thirds of a quorum, and not two
thirds of the entire House Repre-
sentatives. The Court called atten-
ton to the fact that the first ten
amendments were submitted by less
than two-thirds of the entire men,

Not all army tanks are destructive
of human life. Those of the sanitary
corps are dangerous only to germs.
The necessity Of Graduating these

of publication units or mobile water
trains. These consist of number of
heavy motor trucks, each Of which is
a complete filtration plant in itself, in

WHY
Il Is Unfair to Say the Slavs

The Russian people are backward,
to be sure, but it would be rash to in

have their own motives for running
down the Russians. I have met with
no foreign observers Of this people
who doubted their gifts Of intellect,
imagination and heart, writes Edward
Alsworth Ross In Asia Magazine. It Is
true, know ethnologists who wonder
If the quick encouragement and insta-
bility Of will SO characteristic among
the Russians is not mark Of the Slavic
race. Queerly enough, however. this

the Germans in Roman times. Their
