Test of Wartime Dry
Law Begins in Supreme
Court of u. S. Today

Washington. Nov. 20-The Supreme
Court will hear arguments to-day on
the constitutionalty of the Wartime
Prohibition Act. involved in these an
peals from Federal Court rulings.
One from Kentucky declared the act
invalid and two from New York up-
held it.
Owing to the short time elapsine
before constitutional prohibition be-
comes effective, an early opinion by
the court is generally anticipated.
The Government asked that the hear
ing be advanced. Ordinarily. the case
would not have been reached for at
least a year.
The Kentucky case was appealed
by the Government after Federal
Judge Evans had restrained Internal
revenue officials from Interfering
with the removal from bond by the
he entucky Distilleries and Warehouse
Companies of about 1000. 600 gallons
o. whisky valued al approximately

the act violated the fifth amendment

STATE OFFICIALS
ENDORSE WOMEN'S
BUSINESS CLUB
More Than 300 Charter Mem
bers For Organization to
Be Formed Here

Colonel Edward Martin. State
Health Commissioner, and Clifford
b. Connelley, com missioner of labor
and Industry, to-day heartily en-
dorsed the formation of the proposed
Business Women's Club, the prelim-
mary meeting of which will be held
at 7.45 o'clock tomorrow evening
in Parlor A, of the Penn Harris
hotel. The club, which hopes to be-
come an influential force in the life
of the city, already has a charter list
of more than 800 members. 1t Will
be nonsectarian, self-governing and
self-supporting in principle and edu-
cational and recreational in scope.
OF the club. Commissioner Con-
nelley to-day said: "The organization
of a club for business women for
recreational purposes - and edu-
cational too - is splendid. SUPER
vised recreation promotes efficiency
IN the industrial world - 1t will do
much for the business world. Eff
nciency in the industrial world or
the business world means good
health of the workers. Health is
our national cry now together with
better production. We must do ali
be can, individually and collectiveIv
TO promote better health and thereby
increasing the efficiency of the
workers"
Colonel Martin said, Miss Butter
Worth's proposal in regard TO the
organization of a club seems to pro-
vide desirable meeting place for
numbers of girls who are so 5ituated
that this will be helpful to them
Moreover, it is an important steD To-
ward community spirit. Such ocgan-
lZations have always been helpful"
Other State officers and vitv Of
llcials are approving the plan from
a recreational standpoint
The meeting tomorrow evening
Will be addressed by Miss Louise
Palmer Evans, assistant secretary of
the National League of Women
Workers, New York city. Questions
will be answered and the movement
really started.
1t is expected that all women and
girls employed by the State Govern
ment with those in the numerous
business offices of the city, all school
teachers. nurses and other profess
sional women will show .heir inter-
est by attending this meeting.
