 Validity of the federal prohibition constitutional amendment and of DOT tions of the Volstead act affecting its enforcement was not involved. but the opinionwas so sweeping as to leave little hope among we" adherents. In giving the opinion the court sustained federal decrees dismissing injunction proceedings to enjoin federal authori- ties from preventing Jacob Ruppert, q New York brewer, from manufacturing beer containing in excess of One-half of one per cent. but which he alleged was nonintoxicating
 The "wets." however, received a brief ray of hope when, shortly afterward Associate Justice Day, in a unanimous opinion, sustained the dismissal of in dictments brought under the wartime prohibition act against the Standard Brewery of Baltimore and the Ameri- for manufacturing 2.75 beer before the court held that Congress had the right to determine what is intoxicating bev- eragcS. but in view of the fact the Vol stead act had not yet been passed, manufacture of low alcoholic beer was permissible under the wartime prohi- eating

"MENTAL ALERTNESS.

There is a lot of jumping and fusslng
about what passes for quickness OF mind,
but it is nothing of the sort Some of the
quickest and most alert people mentally
are rather slow and collected IN their
physical movements. A mans mind may
be turning over some project and viewing
il from every side with lghtning-llke
speed, while be is lazily swinging IN his
Office chair or filing leisurely pipe.
Observation-Disclosures is a curse In busl-
ness or professionalexisten Ii you have
any ambition to be better than theOrdlnary
keep your mind alert. Don't slump men
tally. Train yourself to clear, concise
thinking If your employer finds tht he
needs never to repeat what he has said
to YOU. that your mind registers every
time, registers accurately and thoroughly,
he will begin to take notice For the fac
ulty is rare, or at least it is largely left
unused. Most young women In our coun-
try are keen and quick intellectually
but they do not make the use they should
of the gift.
To have an alert mind means TO be
thoroughly alive to the situation In which
you are at the moment. There are few
weeks in the year that do not brin some
opportunity, some chance for you to get
ahead, to learn, to show yourself OF value
Mental alertness will keep you quick
for these opportunities. Don doze as you
stand at the wheel of your life. Keep youl
dreaming and your nodding for the hours
away from business. While you re onyoul
job, beo n it, In every sense of the word.

In these dsvv when almost all over the
country there is q shortage Of houses,

room for relatives and acquaintance who
are unable to find houses to live IN, and
others are moving into rooming houses
or boarding houses or hotels then the

ever so humble, begins to realize how
fortunate she is in having that home,
even though it does involve hard work
and much anxiety.
Probably homes were never more

man and his wife who few years ago.
by dint of hard saving and economy,
accumulated enough 30 start in the p,lr
chase Of little home of their own. and
then throughout the years that followed
paid off all obligations, have now found
themselves IN possession OF property
marketable sometimes al as much as
twice as much as they put into IT. The
housewife sharing such n home now finds
that people having many times as large an
income as she and her husband seize
eagerly upon houses less pretentlous. In
short, ii has become an actual privilege
70 have any sort Of home at all. Moreover,
thousands of women are doing their house
work, not because they financially are
obliged to, but because having tasted of
the sweetness of freedom from household
servants they are unwilling to go back
to them again.

Part II.
REYNARD AND BILLY POSSUM.

Reward knew he WAS in danger. but
| II knew, too, that he was not swimming
towards the woods where the shot came
| from and that he might be able to escape.
| Out of the water he came and up the
| bank and with one bound WAS behind n
| big rock and safe, though another shot
from the gun came whixxing near him.
| He did not give thought to poor
| frightened Billy Possum out on the
pond i'm the boat; that WAS Reynard $
way, and, i'm fact. he had all he could
| do to think of himself for while.
BY and by when he thought IL was
safe Reynard pecked from behind the
rock and, not seeing anything that look
ed suspicious, he ran through the woods
and around the pond to his home, where
he stayed until IL was dark
When Billy Possum heard the shot
after Reynard had left the boat he
stretched himself out on the bottom Of the
boat as if he were dead, for that is great
trick of Billy's family when they cannot
| escape from danger.
And there he stayed. the boat float
ing along until it was dark, when sud
denly the boat stopped, and, opening
| his eyes very cautiously, Billy looked
up at swinging branch which oame
right INTO the boat.
Quick ms flash he sprang TO the
branch and was up in the tree before
YOU could say Jack Robinson, or even
Jack, for Billy Possum is n swift climber,
especially when he is in great hurry.
He waited while and listened and
looked and when he was quite sure he
was not being watched down he came
and ran for home.
He was pretty well tired ont and
was asleep in few minutes, but when
he awoke lust before daylight, nc was
so hungry that he thought he would
run over the hill TO the farm and sec II
he could not find something nice for his
breakfast
just as he was opening the door TO
his house he heard someone coming
along the path. He quickly closed the
door and peeped through the kcyhole,
and who should he see but Reynard
with two fat chickens over his shoulder
Bllys eyes twinkled rs he looked
and when Rewards steps died away
Billy slipped out of the door and after
him. but far enough behind SO Reynard
did not hear him.
When all was still around Reynard's g
house but the sound OF his breathing
Billy Possum carefully approached and
climbed up to the roof and, catching his
tail on the top of the chimney, he let him
self drop into the kitchen.
He soon located the two fat chickens
and not being at all greedy he took only
one. Then Understanding the door he le
himself out and ran for home When Re
nard awoke the next moxning and found
one chicken gone he looked about for
tracks and found them, and they led him
to Billy Possum's door
well, let him have it, said Reynard,
AZ he ran home. | was going 20 give him
one chicken anyway because ! left him
alone in the boat. But how did he get home
ia what | should like to know
He never found out, for when Billy Poe
sum and Reynard meet they carefully
avoid the subjects of chickens and boats.
