MAY PUT MONKEY WRENCH IN
PROHIBITION MACHINE

While Congress is considering a
bill to enforce and make effective the
prohibition amendment to the Unit
ed States Constitution, new possible
monkey-wrench to the dry machinery
is called UP by the opinion of Chas.
S. Rackeman, distinguished Boston
jurist, as an authority on consti-
tutional law. In this opinion, Mr..
Rackemann holds that Congress
must first pass legislation for the en-
forcement of the amendment, and
that then the legislatures of at least
SO State must adopt the identical act
passed by Congress in order to make
the amendment effective.
Quoting from Section 2 of the
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, "the Congress and the several
States shall have concurrent power
to enforce this article by appropriate
legislation" Mr.. Rackemann holds
that legislation by Congress without
concurrent legislation by at least sc
States will not be sufficient to make
the amendment effective.

PATHOLOGICAL.

There is a certain young matron
of Chicago whose social duties oc-
cupy so much of her time that she
does not have much left for the care
of her offspring, says the Youths
Companion.
One day one of her children fell
i'll and the mother hastily summoned
the family physician. She greeted
him at the door thus:
"It doesn't seem to be anything
really serious, doctor, but I do wish
you'd find out what is the matter
with Louise. The French maid left
this morning and there isn't soul in
the house that can understand what
the poor child says"

$4,000 SCHOOL BUILDING TO BE
BUILT AT IRVINE.

A $4,000 city school building will
be erected in Irvine in the near fu-
ture. J. Virgil Chapman, Rural
School Supervisor, has returned from
Irvine where he addressed public
gathering on general school condi-
lions, dealing particularly with the
local conditions at Irvine. He en-
phasized the Importance of better
school buildings.
Before the meeting sixteen prom
inent residents of Irvine pledged
$4,000 toward the construction of
the new school building. 1t was de-
cided at the meeting to hold an cleo
ton for the purpose ofissuing bonds
to the constitutional limit to be used
for the building. This sum will be
augmented by private donations.
The constitutional limit in Irvine is
three per cent. of the assessed value
of property in that city.

INNOCENT SKETCHES ARE WAR
PLANS IN REALITY

One of the ingenious ideas of mod
ern war strategy is to utilize artist
skill in making a drawing of a forti-
fication without betraying it's pur-
port on the surface. The spy makes
a drawing which appears to be an
ordinary landscape. If caught with it
he might pose with comparative safe
ty as an artist who had been sketch
ing for pleasure and was entirely ig-
norant of the existence of any fort
and its surroundings.
Interpreted according to secret
code, however, the picture reveals to
the spy's government a fairly COM
plete plan of a fort. This is indi-
Gated by the character and position
of details.
One kind of tree represents an ar
mored gun turret.
A bush is an observation turret.
Other forms of trees are gun posi-
tions, a couple of gates are entrances
to the fort, a piece of fencing is a
barbed wire ENHANCEMENT, lines OF
bushes are bitches, and so on.

Playing Safe.

There is something lacking in
boy whose tendency in games and
sports is, in the vernacular, to play
safe" Is anything more repugnant
to the ball player than to be told by
the captain as he is going to bat that
he must lay down bunt? what boy
would not always rather take a
healthy swing at the ball in the hope
of lining it out? And the circum-
stances in which a player is called
upon to bunt are always those that
would cast over a clean hit to the
outfield a special glory. Similarly,
the young and ardent tennis player
lobs the ball only when he is in such
a plight that he cannot do anything
else with it; he much prefers to try
swift passing shots even though three
times out of four they fail. In golf
the boy who would rather practice
putting than driving would be an alb
normal sort of boy.
To take risks is to show the true
spirit of youth. If a boy does not
take risks in his games and sports,
he not only never experiences the ut
most exhilaration and joy of sport,
but he is only half sportsman. He
may have the satisfaction of beating
his opponent, but he will not have
the satisfaction of feeling that he
has greatly dared and greatly
won"
The best athletes are those who are
cool and calculating, yet who are
willing, If need be, to put the game
to the hazard Of a single brilliant
stroke. The consistent policy OF
playing safe never advances a boy
beyond mediocrity in any branch OF
sport. Every boy who is real boy
longs to advance beyond mediocrity
and is impatient of victories over
adversaries who are merely second
rate. The growth of the habit OF
playing safe belongs to later years
when the man in order to maintain
himself against a livelier opponent
has to adopt defensive rather than
aggressive tactics. Even then 1T Is
the bold chance successfully taken
rather than the victory achieved by
careful method and cunning that lin
gers most pleasantly in the sports
mans memory.

Fond Of An Argument.

II the persons who take an intel

Unhappily, few persons are so we'll

Scientists Want Big Guns For Scien-
tifc Study.

IF French astronomers and Sclen-
lists can have their way, Germany's
Big Bertha gun that bombarded
Paris from behind the German lines
will be used in conducting atmos-
pheric experiments at attitudes never
before reached.
NJ. de la Baume-Pluvinel, Presl-
dent of the Astronomical Society, is
back of the movement to have Big
Bertha transformed from an instru-
ment of war into one of scientific
progress.
In fact NJ. de la Baume-Pluvlnei
asks that all of the heavy artillery
taken from the Germans be turned
over to the astronomers for higher
atmospheric investigations. He in
sists that they-be given at least the
Big Berthas.
In to the present time the precise
construction of the atmosphere at al
titudes fifteen miles or such matter
is merely one of speculation. BY
shooting mechanically registering
projectiles into these upper attitudes,
NJ. de la Baume-Pulvinel points out
that the most accurate and valuable
scientific information can be attain
ed.
The French astronomer has figured
out that the Big Bertha gun, pointed
vertically would send projectile UP
to nearly $4,000 yards in about 125
seconds. We do not know what the
status of the atmosphere is at thai
altitude. We do not know whether
its weight still continues; we do moi
know whether terrestrial attraction
still exists there and whether as
consequence the shell from the BIG
Bertha would fall back to earth OF
whether it would start off on ar
aerial hunt for other planets. In thu
latter event it might open up means
of communication with some of oul
neighboring planets.
French scientists have become 81
interested in the possibilities OF Big
Bertha as a means of scientific in
yestigation that large number o
the details for its use have alread!
been worked out.

Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establish

Buffalo, N. Y, long since found out what
is naturally best for women's diseases.
He learned it all through treating thou
sands of cases. The result of his studies
was medicine called DR.. Pierce's Favor
tie Prescription. This medicine is made
of vegetable growths that nature surely
intended for backache, headache, weak
ening, bearing-down pains, irregularities,
pelvic infammations, and for the many
disorders common to women in all ages OF
life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
made of lady's slipper root, black cohosh
root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root and
Oregon grape root. DIR. Pierce knew,
when he first made this standard medi-
cine, that whiskey and morphine are IN
furious, and so he has always kept them
out of his remedies. Women who take
this standard remedy know that in DR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription they are
