within reasonable limits is an intoxicat-
ing liquor and to congress the same right
within the sphere OF its Jurisdiction But
the unsoundness of this more plausible
contention seems to me at once exposed
by directing attention to the fact that in
a case where no state legislation was
enacted there would be no prohibition,
thus again frustrating the first section
by construction affixed to the second.
1t is no answer to suggest that a reg
ulation by congress would in such event
be operative in such q state, since the
basis Of the distinction upon which the
argument rests is that the concurrent
power conferred upon congress is confin-
ed to the area of its jurisdiction and
therefore is not operative within a
state.
"Coniprehenslvely looking at all these
contentious, the confusion and contradic-
ton to which they lead. servis in my
judgment to make it certain that 1t can
not possibly be that congress and the
states entered into the great and import
ant business OF amending the constitu-
ton in matter so vitality concerning all
the people colely in order to render gov
ernmental action impossible, or if pos
sible, to SO define and limit It as to
cause 1t to be productive of no result
and to Illustrate the obvious intent and
true indeed, that the mere words Of the
second section tend to these results,
but If they be read in the light of the
cardinal rules which compel consid-
GRAFTON of the context in view of the sit
uation and the subject with which the
amendment dealt and the purpose which
Il was intended to accomplish, the con-
fusion will be seen to be only apparent.
I'm the first place it is !ndisputable
! that the first section imposes general
prohibition which it was the purpose TO
! make universally and uniformly oper-
alive and efficacious. In the second
| place, as the prohibition did not define
| the intoxicating beverages which it pro-
| hibited, In the absence Of anything to

| fact Of its adoption. passed upon con-
gress the duty, not only Of defining the
prohibited beverages, but also of enactine
such regulations and sanctions as were
| essential to make them operative were

plays Louis b. Mayors first super
special production, 1.-The Woman In
His House." which recently smashed
every attendance record at Crandalrs
Metropolitan.
The tremendous appeal exerted
upon all ages, all classes and all con-
ditions of men by this wonderful
camera drama is due to its incom-
parably fine handling of the ages-old
and ever-new subject of mother love.
In "The Woman In His House."
mother love is the. power that
achieves what science could not ac-
complsh and the basis of a heart
appeal that has never been even re-
motely approNimated on the silver
sheet.

Wallace. as the Young husband and
wife are forceful and convincing /:
Thomas Holding, as the friend OF the
family, is as admirable a symbol of
nobility of character as George
Fisher, as the urban wolf il the op-
posite. Winter Hall, as Hilda's father,
Is convincingly natural and Gareth
Hughes, an actor OF rare talent, does
beautifully the impersonation of ST.
gurd. the cripple.
Infinitely the most appealing figure
in the narrative Is that of the baby,
played with almost unbelievable
charm BY little Richard Hedrick.

CHARTERED A CARNIVAL
TO GET DESIRED SCENE

Chartering a complete street carni-
val company. including every animal.
tent. and person connected with the
organization, forms an interesting
chapter Of the production history of
Something to Think About" which
will be shown at Loew's Columbia to-
morrow.
Cecil b. De Mile, producer of this
unusual Paramount screen drama
wished to establish in the mind Of
his central feminine character the diff
ference between two men-the one
youthful and virile: the other older
and crippled.
with this object in mind, he Sc
lected a day at typical country
fair as the time and place. The two
men, the girl, and her father COM
prise one group of visitors.
But 1t was first necessary to dupli-
cate the country fair in question.
This difficulty was solved by leasing
a travelling street carnival company
for a period of one week and adding
to this background half a thousand
extra people"
: The carnival included the usual
fat lady, the snake charmer, fire
eater, hula hula dancers, and other
freaks and strangely talented per
formers. All entered into the spirit
of the picture and lent to this episode
striking note OF realism.
