following opinion from Judge John B.

powers Of Congress and of the Federal
government under this Amedment is in

fou ask II. under the 18th Amend
ment to the Constitution OF the United
states, Kentucky distiller NAV lawful
~ manufacture and sell WHISTLES for
purposes other than beverage purposes.

states
The 18th Amendment has on appuca-
ton 10 such a case. 1t simply prohibits
after one year from the ratification. the
manufacture. sale. transportation. i'm
portation and expectation Of intoxicat-
ing liquors for beverage purposes II
Is too plain for argument that where
WHISTLES are made and sold for other
purposes the 18th Amedment is not vfo-
lated Any other construction would
amount to eliminating the words for
beverage purposes
The Federal government has no right
nor has Congress the power to pass laws
under this amendment, TO interfere with
the operation Of such a distillery. so
long as the WHISTLES are not made or
sold for beverage purposes.
also am OF the opinion that Con-
gress can pass no laws to enforce the
amendment. until January 90. 1920
when the amendment goes into effect
The power to pass such laws IS
granted to Congress by the amendment
ltself-seetion provides Congress ard
the several states shall have concurrent
power TO enforce this article by appro-
Pirate legislation It is impossible for
me to conceive how Congress can exer-
else a power until that power is granted
and the amendment does not grant the
power until ii becomes an amendment
That is TO say, the amendment is
scrap of paper until it takes effect.
7 hold that Congress cannot pass
laws before January 20 1920. to enforce
the amendment even though such laws
expressly provide that they shall not be-
come effective until the amendment
takes effect. The correct construction
of Section ? is this; When the amend
ment takes effect. but not before. Con-
gress shall have the power to enforce
it
Judge Baskin holds that only the
states can adopt prohibitions against Or
regulations in favor Of the manufacture
and sale Of liquors for other than bevcr-
age purposes.

VOLCANO ERUPTS:
BLACK ROOSTER IS
THE ONLY LAST HOPE
Tradition of Long Ago l
Recalled by Spouting
Wild Mountain
(By United Press. }

Wy Oulteu fTeSS.
Hilo, Island Of Hawaii, by Mail. }
Owners Of coal black game cocks
are keeping out an eye to see that
the chicken house door is locked Sc
curely every night.
And that's all because the volcano
Of Kilauea is now the most active it
has beeen for 35 years.
Six months ago Kilauea was sput-
tering away in it's mile wide bowl of
burning, molten rock, with the level
of the flaming crimson sea of boiling
lava 900 feet from the top of the
crater.
The night that Secretary of the
Navy Daniels and disparity paid XII
lauea a visit-the latter part OF Au-
gust-the level of the seething lava
lake was about so feet below the
crater's top. H..
Several overfiows already have &C.
cured. A cone which once jutted 500
feet a ove the crater's top has melted
away into the sea of fire. Two hours
after the secretary and his party left
the volcano the rock wall between
the main crater and second smaller
one, caved in, joining the craters.
And Kilauea still is going strong.
AS to the connection Of all this
with coal black game cocks? Oh.
that's very simple.
Many years ago, when the islands
first were becoming white mans
land, Kilauea became angry, 1t
roared and Kissed and sputtered and
the ground shook. Then the lava
overaowed and moved slowly down
the mountain side toward Hilo.
The native Hawaiians had been
Christians but comparatively short
time. Their fright knew no bounds,
for the island legends were full of
the tales of what Kilauea did when
Madame Pele, the goddess who lived
in Kilauea's crater, became angry.
So the Hawaiians prayed that the
flow, would stop. But it didn't,
Then they danced. But that was
Ineffective
Finally, forgetting their Christian
lty for time, they sent party by
canoe to Honolulu to consult a few
remaining priests Of the days when
they all worshipped the strange,
South Sea dieties.
Throw a black rooster into the
lava t1ow,' was the advice they
brought back.
The sleekest, shiniest cock on the
island of Hawaii was picked for the
/ sacrifice, and while the maidens
danced, the warriors cast the squak-
ing bird into the base of the lava
flow.
In an hour the flow had stopped.
Madame Pele, the most feared god
dess of the island, evidently had been
satisfied with chicken dinner.
American residents Of the: island
believe that If there is ever another
Dig lava flow, coal black ROSTERS will
come into demand once more.

STREET CAR RIDES FREE
(By United Press. }

Boston, Oct. 14-Ralph s. Bauer,
for many years an advocate of public
ownership of street railway systems
and free rides for the public, has sug-
gested to the special state commits
sion on street railways that the Bos-
ton Elevated Railway company's sys-
TEN should be run on this plan.
In advocating purchase by the pub
lie of Boston's street railway system,
Bauer asserted that the street car
rider is money asset to the COM
munity in which he rides" He
claimed that the street cars are used
by those who give something of per-
manent value to the city, and that in
stead of paying for the privilege of
using the street railway system, they
should be given the opportunity of
doing SO without paying any fare.
Bauer says that high street cal
fares are discouraging business ex-
pansion, and pointed out that the old
custom Of charging tolls on the coun-
try's highways had the same effect
while that system was in operation

The Moo1 Ancient Eco.


Just before the war began, during
excavations in the ancient MoRunti.
acum, under the auspices Of the Archie.
illogical society Of Mayence, there
was found a hens egg which was e.
timated to have been buried in the
earth for something like 10 centuries.
Moguntiacum was built by Drusus,
the son Of the Roman emperor Angus
.tus. in the year IA B. c. Upon the
site Of the ancient Roman castfum or
encampment near the city the excava-
lions in question brought to light many
interesting relics, including some wa
ter clsterns of Roman make. It was
in one Of these, which was located
some 20 feet below the surface, that
damaged Roman claypot was discov-
cred containing the shell OF a broken
egg and also whole egg that had
been kept from being smashed by q
shred of the damaged pot, which COW
cred it. The ancient egg was depos.
tied in the municipal museum.

ana Mercury are in benefic ASPECT
while Jupiter and Saturn are adverse.
II would seem that the best sort OF
news concerning the war will be trans
mitted, and it is believed that the
peace treaty will be signed earlier than
has been expected.
Al the signs are favorable for the
ored,
While there will be revelations that
are, distressing in regard to military
matters, these will be overshadowed BY
reports OF supreme achievements. Many
heroes will not be recognized until long
after peace has been attained.
Again the position of the planets in
the eleventh house appear to foretell
sensational scenes in the United States
Some sort Of trouble Is threatened for
the Vtceroy of India, and earthquake
shocks are to disturb the orient.
Warning is given that there will be
a, period of laxity in morals and too
much license in h conduct OF many
persons in the United States. There
is a sinister sign for the summer
After the spring ends there will be
a gradual settling Of all the ferment of
the world, and widespread prosperity
is prognosticated for the United States.
Frauds connected with revenues and
a possible depreciation of securities
should be guarded against in the next
six months.
Intense activity in regard to shi~-InK
is predicted and a sudden growth Of
commerce is forecast.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the promise of a quiet year. There will
be many changes and numerous new
