 Kaiser All Dressed Up.
 As the Kaiser was fond of being pictured at the head of his troops leading a cavalry charge or seated on g. beau tiful steed, Kossak found 1t necessary to mount him first on wooden horse such as is used in sym nasiums. Thus he was painted. twice in the palace at Potsdam.

EX-KAISER POSED
 FOR PICTURE ON
 OLD SAWHORSE'

New York, Dec. 16.--In a heavy golden frame, suspended from a wall of what once was the Kaiser's suite in the imperial palace at Potsdam there is an imposing portrait of Will liam himself mounted on battle charger of magnificent Arabian beauty. The fiery steed fairly leaps from the canvas and the naughty mien of it's rider is all that could be desired to make the picture com plete.
 However, there is an untold story in the painting of the portrait, a story illustrated by the rather intimate photograph above of His Most Recent Majesty, Wilhelm II. Although the camera caught Wilhelm in this pose a number of wears ago, the photo graph has never been reproduced, as the artist Wojciech (Albert) Kossak, has just arrived in this country for the first time in his life.

Los Angeles, Dec. 15,-Ohicials of the two large hospitals for treat ment of the insane. located at Patton and Norwalk, near this city, are greatly pleased over the success of the introduction of industrial work as part of the treatment of the patients.
 According to psychopathic author it'es, not long ago industrial occupa- ton of the insane was believes to be impossible in connection with the work of state hospitals. -s Patients were allowed little or no outlet for their pent-up energies. with the result that violent outbreaks were frequent
 Today, according to the authorities, these same patients are busily em- ployed in many branches of industria work, including weaving, manufac- turing of shoes, brooms and brushes, ba><GLry and toy-making.
 Material for many of these depart ments was hitherto considered waste it was stated. Salvage of old hard wood floors, boxes, tin cans and bits of metal is now used in making of toys. Burlap rave1ling for rugs, old undergarment materials for rugs and cast-of automobile tires for heels and Soles of house shoes, all form a part of the economical use of erst- while waste material.

Studying Joker
 In Volstead Act
Immunity Clause Guaran- tees to Those Who Give
 Testimony
By Harry l.. Rogers

Washington. Dec. > Officials of the Department of Justiee es,ad ana
 alleged joker" in the Volstead Pro
 hibition law, which has just been
 brought to their attention by a
 group of Washington attorneys.
 Sect 1n 30 of the Volstead act. the
 so-cal1ed immunity clause guarantee
 ing. against prosecution any persoh
 who gives testimony under oath con
 corning violations of the dry law, is
 the basis for the claims of these at
 torneys that liquor may be manufac-
 tured, sold or transported without
 fear of punishment
 Unless this proviso is repealed, the Volstead law is knocked higher
 than a kite" said Attorney Walter Holland, one of the discoverers of the
 alleged joker. ''It is merely a re- enactment of Section S60 of the Re- vised Statutes of the United States, the notorious Immunity batl' law which was repealed in 1910 at the solicitation of the atto. >Ty-gene eFal
 after he found that hundreds of criminals were using it as a means "As the Volstead law stands today a man might bring a ship load of liquor up the Potomac, land it, drink it on the Capitol steps and then go scot Il ee merely by confessing under
 oath that he had bro Isht it in. Until this defect of the law is remedied dry officers will have a most interesting time enforcing prohibition"
 F. B. Ebbert, attorney for the Anti-Safoon league said that he had made a careful study of the legal points which Section 30 involves.
 Though admitting that in isolated cases individuals might evade pun
 ishment by invoking the Immunity provision, he was confident such eva
 sions could not be carried out on a large scale. ~ If the liquor interests can get any comfort out of this new quibble they are welcome to it. he said. Our position is that the objections raised by the Supreme court in the case of Counselman 'vs. Hitchcock do not ap- ply to Section 30 of the Volstead act, and that it therefore is not uncon- stituticnal. As for the contention that bootlegger might present him. self as witness and, after giving testimony, claim immunity under Sec ion 30; it is easy to see that no honest and efficient officer would be taken in very often by such a trick
 Section 30 provides that no person shall be excused on the ground of Self-incrimination from teStifying concerning violations of the Volstead i testifying from prosecution on ac-
 count of any facts he may disclose.
 The statute specifically states, how ever, that a witness who sfore to a l falsehood would be subject to prose-
 cution for perjury. Authorities diff | fer as to whether this perjury clause 1 is in contravention of the constitu- | tional prohibition against person 1 bearing witness against himself.
