HOW TEXAS SEALS
 DOWN THE BOOZE LID

Housewives of Texas are tearing the wine and beer recipes out of their cook books.
 A man who shows one of his friends picture of bottle of whiskey now commits felony.
 All because Texas is not to be out done by Uncle Sam when it comes to putting the kibosh on the devilishness of old John Barleycorn.
 A new prohibition law just gone into effect in Texas is perhaps the most drastic in the Union. It was enacted to put teeth" into the state constitutional amendment.
 Not only is the government limit of one pint on doctors booze pre- scriptions duplicated, but the Texas law places close restrictions also on the sale of all alcoholic drugs which might be used as beverages.
 Any person or firm selling liquor in violation of the law is liable for dam ages to any relative or dependent of the buyer.
 It is felonious to circulate. or even own any recipe for making whiskey, wine or beer, or to display the pie ture of any bottle "reputed to contain malt, spirituous or vinous liquors."
 Texas, the "pros" calculate, is now safely in the dry column.

WILSON IS ACCUSED
 OF KILLING HIS WIFE

Thomas Wilson was arrested at Phoenix in connection with the recent death of his wife, Mrs. Hazel Wilson. Mrs. Wilson's body was found in the Wilson home, bullet wound in the body and revolver in her right hand.
 Police officers said neighbors had told them they had heard the couple conversing in high-pitched voices very shortly before the shooting. One neighbor, woman, the officers said, informed them she had seen Wilson leave the house a few seconds after she heard the report of a revolver. Officers said the position of the body and course of the bullet precluded the possibility of suicide.

 There they hung-Pat half off the roof; Mike suspended forty feet above ground, hanging like death to Pats leg.
 "Let go me leg!" yelled Pat.
 Like hell I willw retorted Mike.
 "Let go me leg, l tell yez."

 "If you don't let go me leg, I'll hit you in the head with this pick" Pat exploded, wrathfully.
