DRY ACT STANDS UNTIL PACT HAS
 BEEN RATIFIED
President Wilson Will Not Re- scind Law Until Peace For
 mally Is Declared.
CONSTITUTIONALITY
 OF MEASURE ATTACKED
Supreme Court Probably Will Give Decision December S-Elihu Root, Supporting "Wet" Interest,
 Argues Case.

Washington, Nov. 20.-While the supreme court was hearing argu- ments today on the validity of the wartime prohibition act, word went out from the White House that Presi- dent Wilson would not rescind the "dry" act until peace formally had been declared.
 This was expected to set at rest the increasing rumors that the "dry" ban would be lifted by the president, irrespective of early rat ification of the treaty of Versailles. Failure of the senate to act on the treaty at the extraordinary session was regarded by many administra- tion officials as precluding the end before the constitutional prohibition amendment became effective next January 16.
 Should such prove the case, the only possibility of a "wet" Christ mas would be for the supreme court to declare the wartime act uncon- stitutional. Arguments on the pend- ing cases will be concluded tomor row, but as the court begins recess on Monday, no decision is expected until it reconvenes December 8.
 The right of congress to prohibit the manufacture and sale of intox icating liquors was sharply attacked and vigorously defended during the arguments.
 Elihu Root and others contended that the wartime act and the Vol stead enforcement measure not only violated the fifth constitutional amendment, prohibiting the taking of property without just compensation, but were imperative owing to the cessation of hostilities and the de- mobilization of the army which were responsible for their enactment. Arguments Heard. Solicitor General King and William L. Frierson, assistant attorney gen. eral for the government, however, ar gued that state of war still existed, an dthat it was congress- intent to provide wartime prohibition until the peace treaty was ratified. ! The arguments, which will be con- cluded tomorrow, were in appeals brought to the supreme court from Kentucky, where the wartime pro- hibition act was declared uuconsti- tutional, and from New York, where federal court decrees sustained both the wartime and the enforcement acts and dismissed injunction pro- ceedings sought to enable Dryfoos, Blum and Company, to remove whis- key from bond and Jacob Ruppert. 1 brewer to manufacture beer con- taining more than one-half of one per cent alcohol.

0UTL0OK GOOD
 FOR AGREEMENT TO END STRIKE
offer of 15 and 20-Cent Increase, Rejected, Breaks Ice for
 Trading Operations.
Lewis Says First Offer of the Opera tors Is Totally Inadequate-Brew- s+er and Others Defend Their
 Proposal.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Though onerators and miners of central com- net;tive fields remained deadlocked ali dav today in their negotiations for d new wage scale contract, prospects for an agreement that would settle the coal strike were considered brighter tonight than at any time since the strike was called.
 The operators offered to the min' CTS representatives a flat increase of 15 cents ton on coal mined and 20 per cent increase for day workers. John L. Lewis, acting president of the Mine Workers of America, out wardly stamped the concession as wholly inadequate, but both sides plainly took the offer as breaking of the ice and an opening for trading tomorrow.
 Meanwhile, the government contin- ued to hold hands off, and Fuel Ad- ministrator Garfield took no steps openly to ration or restrict coal con- sumption.
 President Lewis of the mine work CTS, after the close of the long ses- sion today, said he considered that the operators proposal had "contri- buted nothing to the settlement of the difficulties" but at the same time indicated that miners were preparing to come down a degree in their de- mands for a six hour day and 50 per cent increase.
 Defend Offer.
 ''The operators are proposing something that they know can't be accepted" he said. "The increase they woul9 give they simultaneously arrange to take back in increased charges to miners for supplies. Then they haven't talked the question of hours at all. It isn't necessary to take up the six hour proposal. We have many of our men who work nine and 10 hours day under present conditions, because the present eight hour day in many mines is merely a basic theory and not an actual fact
 Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of the operators scale committee, re- fused to discuss the proceedings, but the compromise offer made by the operators was outlined more fully by his assistants.
 The proposed wage advances are the maximum to be offered, w. T. Guthrie, member of the operators wage scale committee, representing Western Pennsylvania and George B. Harrington of Illinois, spokesman for the operators said. Failure on the part of the miners to accept the proposition would mean mediation by the government, Guthrie said.
 They estimated that the price of coal at the time it leaves the mnies would be increased from 35 to 40 cents ton as a result of the offered advances, but declined to speculate as to how much might be added by middlemen before the coal reached the consumer.
 The position taken by the opera tors representatives was that their offer was stritcly in line with the statements of Secretary of Labor Wilson and Fuel Administrator Gar field.

PALACE THEATER.

It would be utterly impossible to present a better show than the one seen at the Palace theater last eve ming. Five vaudeville acts a serial picture, 'rhe Red Glove," a Select feature production, "The Indestruct- ible Wife, a funny comedy dealing with wild animals and wild women and an up-to- e-minute weekly news review made up the program lasting from ' till 10:32 without a repeat of any kind. It was almost too much show for the money but the large audience remained till the very last and seemed to thoroughly enjoy every bit of it. The air of refinement that now predominates the remodelled theater also has a lot to do with the making of a successful evenings en- tertainment. Everything was received with applause from the soldierly and acrobatic little fellow that changes the cards to the closing scene of the big picture. Marie Walcamp startled her audience with a thrill in the third chapter of the exciting serial, "The Red Glove,' and was followed by Tate and Tate, a pair of very English comedy acrobats, who did very we'll with their routine of tricks. Havens and Frantz pleased with their songs and pianologue. These two girls

Dietetic Course Helps in Solving Servant
 Problem.
Red Cross Starts Kitchen to Tcacn
 Women How to Cook.

Woman's independence of her maid is the goal of the new classes in dietetics which are being organized through out the entire country by the Red Cross. Armed with measuring cup and spatula, flour and sugar, and all other ingredients whose uses they learn in the class, women are being taught freedom from cooks, delicates- sen stores, and indigestion, under the tutelage of experts.
 ''I can't get a maid and my husband has lost ten pounds while we were boarding; l simply must learn to cook for him." complained the young bride of a soldier who had just been mus tered out of the army as she asked admission to the class.
 Making PalatabIe Dishes.
 No army cook or hired chef will surpass the soldiers wife when she has completed the five weeks course of , lessons. The plans are a surety that any women taking the courses soon will know how to purchase and care for food to prepare many simple
  and to plan a menu that will have due respect for the pocketbook and the palate
 Most housewives are unfortunately quite ignorant of the necessities of kitchen. They complain about the monOtony of home cooking, and of the 1 lack of nutrition in restaurant food ! But what really is wrong is that the ; spirit of cooking has not been instilled 1 into them.
 Many women were taking the 1 course with an impersonal view. One l wishes to become a dietician's aid for I farm service and another wants to be 1 able to come to the fore in case of 1 another emergency like the influenza l epidemic, which demanded the serv- ! ices of many more women than were l available to prepare food for patients.
