Ex-service men OF Hammond are
fiocking to the recruiting station to
receive their Victory Buttons. With
in the last forty-eight hours over $50

made on the back Of his discharge pa
per. However. the Sergeant has three
assistants in his office during the rush

it Is now one of the various duties of the
Department of Justice to see that this law
is enforced.
When the new Federal nation wide

now exists only here and there throughout
the country will exist in every State, but
with much wider scope. Every town, city,
county and State police official will then
be charged with the duty Of seeing that
the new anti-liquor law is enforced, and
the United States authorities will be
actively concerned also. Exactly how this
situation is going to work out Is not yet
known. 1t is probable that the United

Legislature of Virginia has the right to

State want and to see that its officers rig

Virginia is not the only State with a
bone-dry liquor law and Of course Virginia
is not the only place where search and
seizure activities are going on. In Ne
braska the watchful prohibition ofhcers
are very much alive to make sure that no
guilty drop Of liquor escapes them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, the dramatic
stars, were entertaining friends in their
rooms at the Fountanelle Hotel In Omaha,
recently. Suddenly the door burst open
and policemen rushed in. A search OF the
rooms revealed a suit case with some
liquor in It. The police marched Mr.. Drew

Furthermore, there appear to be some pro-

situation.
ION one of the Palm Beach trains man
claiming to be Virginia officer walked
through the train while the dining car was
full of passengers. Whenever he found an
feTnptv seat he judged that the passenger
was in the dining car. Taking the hand
bags he passed on and left the train with
a collection of suitcases and grips which
contained personal property OF consider
able value. Nobody dared to interfere.
x Resistance to officers Of the law is
dangerous thing. One man protested and
was promptly blackjacked by the Officers.
Two unfortunate men, Lawrence d. Hud-
son and Raymond Shackleford, refused to
heed the liquor searchers and they were
shot dead. Four Virginia State prohibi-
ton agents are in Fredericksburg jail
charged with murder.
The activities Of the liquor deputies on
the railroad trains have brought vigorous
plants to the Director-General Of
