DRYS TO CENTER EFFORTS
ON LEGISLATION FOR
ENFORCING AMENDMENT

Because OF the fact the prohibition
amendment to the Constitution has
practically attained the goal Of rati-
fication. dry members Of Congress
will now devote their attention to
law enforcement legislation.
Prominent drys, such as Congress-
man Randall of California, Senator
Sheppard Of Texas, and others, are
prepared to press for legislation for
the enforcement OF the dry amend
ment.
Efforts will be made to accomplish
IL before the short session ends, but
whether this can be done Is doubtful.
While the Constitutional amend
ment goes into effect a year after
ratification, the dry forces desire law
enforcement statutes before then.
They want to apply them to the war
time prohibition act which goes into
effect July /.
Dry leaders in Congress predict
that prohibition will prohibit, but

trees 1t was cool and green. and clear
blue water rippled over beds Of shin

The house was of round, straight

were cupped and blistered with the
suns OF many summers Refuse loi-

remnants.
Forward. and to the left. was a
small corral, mill slabs on end or
fences of lodgepole pine; corner
somewhat covered In, offering vague
protection from the weather. The up
per poles were worn thin with the
cribbing Of many horses.
The desertion seemed absolute; the
silence was the silence of the unspo-
ken places. But suddenly 1t was bro
ken by stamping In the covered part
of the corral, and mans voice say
ing:

Horse and rider dashed into the
sunlight. The boy-for he was no
more than a boy-sat the beast as

softly as a good boat rides the sea-
With q yell at his horse he snatched
the hat from his head, turning to the
sun a smooth brown face and name

across the flank with his crumpled
headgear. The animal sprang into

the air, then dashed at a gallop down
the roadway, bearing the boy as un-
concerned as flower on its stem.
Suddenly he brought his horse to q
stop. swung about, and rode back at
a gentle canter. A few yards from
the house he again spurred him to a
gallop. and. leaning far down by the
animals side deity picked a bottle
from among the grass. Then he circled
about, repeating this operation as
often as his eye fell on bottle, unU
he had half a dozen; then down the
road again, carefully setting bottle
on each post of the fence that skirted
II to the right.
Again he came back to the house,
but when he turned his eye was on
the row of posts and his right hand
lay on the grip Of his revolver. Again
his sharp yell broke the silence and
the horse dashed forward as though
shot from gun. Down the road they
went until within rod OF the first
bottle; then there was flash In the
sunlight and to the clatter Of the
horses hoofs came the crack-crack
of the revolver. Two bottles shivered
to fragments, but four remained In
tact. and the boy rode back. muttering
and disappointed. He reasoned with
his horse as he rode:

But he had reloaded his revolver
and set up two more bottles. This
time he broke four and was better
