The prohibition situation is get
ting decidedly complicated, the de-
velOpments Of the week being In IA
vor Of the vets. When the Ohio vote
had been Oficially counted 1t was
found the people had defeated rati-
ficatiOn Of the federal CONSTITUTIONAL
amendment, two and three-fOurths per
cent beer repeal Of the state prohibit
ton and the Crabbe enforcement. act.
If enough more Of the states whose
constitutions contain the referendum
provision follow the example of Ohio,
the federal amendment might be Killed.
In Louisville, KY, Federal Judge Ev-
ans, in effect, held wartime prohibit
ton unconstitutional and, enjOined the
internal revenue collector and district
attorney from interfering with the sale
by two distillefies OF their tax-paid
whisky. Federal Judge Brown at Prov
idence, r. l., issued an injunction re-
straining the government officers from
enforcing the wartime prohibition act,
and declared his belief that the Vol
stead enforcement act is unconstitu-,
tional being repugnant to the prohibit
ton amendment. In Providence the
sale of 4 per cent beer was resumed
Immediately. Judges Carpenter and
Fitzhenry in Chicago heard arguments
in similar case and the vets were
confident that their decision would be
the same as that of Judge Brown.
Meanwhile Internal Revenue Com
missioner Roper is going calmly ahead
preparing the machinery for the en-
forcement of both wartime and con-
stitutional prohibition. This machin-
cry will be put In motion on Novem-
Der IL. and its chief engineer will be
John F. Kramer of Mansfield, O., who
has been appointed national prohibit
ton commissioner. The country has
been divided into nine districts, each
of which will have supervising agents;
there will be director for each state
and a large mobile force under the
orders of Mr.. Kramer. Wherever the
state and municipal officers fail to en-
force the prohibition laws, the fed
eral agents will act.
Secretary of State Lansing, after be-
ing told of the Ohio vote, said the
reputation of the constitutional
amendment has no effect on the de-
partment's proclamation OF last Janu-
airy putting the cohntry under prohibit
ton next January 16.

NO INDICATION THAT PRICE OF SHOES WILL

Last month press dispatches con tained an item which quoted J.

McElwain had said the prices had fallen 20 per cent sincesthe middle of August and that they were due to take another drop after. Christmas.

REMAIN THE SAME FOR
 THANKSGIVING

Possibly Juneau is about the only city in the United States where prices have not sky-rocketed in the cost of living, and where rental remains reasonable. Inquiry among the deal CTS for 'madames Thanksgiving din ner," shows that despite the "orGer- ly procession" of the cost of "every little thing" steadily upward, that prices in Juneau are no higher than they were year ago. For instance, at the local markets this week poul- try will be sold at the following prices which are the same as last year:
 Turkey, 5 cents per pound
 Goose, 50 cents per pound.
 Duck, 50 cents per pound.
 Chicken. 50 cents per pound. 1s
 The markets are well stocked with fine plump fowls and many are al ready sold.

 Shoe factories bcye today a larger volume of orders ol hand than eau be taken care of during the next three or four mon hs. During that period they will reoIire a large Quan- tity of hides, and leather. and other supplies. Desirable leather is ex- tremeiy scarce and cannot be quickly obtained.
 There is. theref re. no indication of a recession in tie price of shoes in the near future. It Is my opinion that shoe prices for spring will be no lower than at present"

 Before another issue of this paper appears, our .nnual Thanksgiving will have come and gone and much table linen will have been mussed up by the nwardness of the greatest of all American birds, turkey.

And that shows the sell ishness of mankind People quick to ask God or something and slow to thank Him for what He lives them. In many respects they are like the un- ,onored, unsung and the unwashed sons and daugh- CTS of Rain-in-the-face and Pocahontas.

NECKLACE IS HUGE
Ornament Is Brought Back &C a
Pronounced Fashion.
Strings Of Pearls Allowed to Hang
Full Length Instead Of Being
Wrapped Around Neck.

The French designers have brought
back into fashion huge necklaces from
an ornamental past. They are not
ade of jewels, yet they are cost
ly, and the supply of fine ones rapidly
diminishes. Once upon n time our
Indians bartered peltries for bright
beads. Such was the foundation of
some of our great American fortunes.
Today, declares fashion writer,
there are women who vehemently de-
clare that they would barter their Sec
ond year fur pieces for gay neck
lace. They sell old clothes In order
to get one of these much desired pos
sessions.
II is the hour Of the necklace. All
that has gone before is as nothing to
what now exists. And, mind you, the
necklace is not of precious stones.
There are few well dressed women
who wear any precious stones about
the neck except pearls. Diamonds hold
a place with some, but they are not
considered among well dressed women.
as an ornament of parts. Costly they
are, ii is true, and i'm unique settings
of carved platinum they have their
place. but the bare, bald, crude dia-
mond necklace is bit blatant for the
fastidious woman. She prefers pearls,
and so it seems does every other wo-
man who can buy string, from six
dollars up.
If the attention of the latter class
Is turned toward the barbaric neck
laces. it may be that they will quickly
fall into disuse; but one thing is GER
tain, which is that six dollars will go
short way toward purchasing one of
he rare necklaces of the hour.
An individual designer of clothes i'm
New York found himself the for
tunate possessor of half dozen neck
laces' which ne had seen in an antique
shop. whore they were thrown over

Immediately purchased them. Then,
the French fashion found its way
across the ocean into America, and the
designer attached his necklaces to
costly gowns. either ut the neck or at
price he asked for the garment.

wheat for the year in which the record
