THE LIQUOR DECISION

According to the decision of the Unit ed State supreme court dealing with the storage and transportation of liquor that was lawfully acquired for a lawful purpose before prohibition law went into effect the middle of last January the dif- faculties of the enforcement officials are apparently increased. There will be fur. nished a loophole which win encourage some to endeavor to get around the pro- yisions oc the law even though some of the officials take the ground that the de- cision involves nothing new. However, this may be in the case or some of the officials it is evident that it does regard ing others or the case would never have highest court in the country.
 For those who laid in such large stocks of liquor months ago that it was impos- sible to accommodate it in their cellars, Or for those who had no storage place in their homes and put It In storage else where, the decision holds that the Vol stead act is not violated when such li- quor is taken from such storage and transported to the home. The decision utA1S Htli teANlNAA0 dIAuhSu AlquOt ettel liquor intended for personal or family consumption and not intended for sale and 1t deals with what must be regarded as definite amount of liquor and does not mean a supply that can be constant ly added to from purchases made since the law became effective.
 F. It will apparently mean that those who arc engaged in the enforcement of the law will encounter increased difficulties looking after and distinguishing between liquor being lawfully and that being un- lawfully taken from storage places and transported. It promises to be a decision to which widespread resort will be made but there will be involved the necessity Of proving that the liquor was lawfully acquired. However from the manner in which the prohibition law is being en- forced and from the business that is be- ing carried on in its sale of 1t the deci- sion need have no other effect than to release a large quantity of liquor which authorities have seized or tied up and permit those owning 1t to use it in a law ful manner

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES.

To get the extra hour of daylight to the end of the third week in October has been, to most people, an appreciable boon. It is impossible to suit everybody, and farmers, especially those engaged in the dairy industry, may not have all together appreciated the new time. But such arrangements can aim only at achieving the greatest good for the great est number, and this years enforced ex- pertinent may, on consideration, be found
 to justify the permanent extension of

 The Ubiquitous PoIc-Americans coal miners consist almost entirely of aliens Poles, Italians, Lithuanians, and others i; and very little sentimental interest is
 taken i2 them by the government or the people of the United States. But the
 British miner is peculiarly a home pro
 duct of whom we are all, really, not a little proud. How many realize then that in one spot in these isles there is quite a large number of Polish miners?
 This is the Lanarksfire coalfield, where the Poles today number 1000 to 1,200. 1 There used to be as maiiy as 10000. Interesting Irish FamiIy-The Cootea of Queens county. who have lost their head, are one of the most interesting of
 Irish families. They descend from a yet older English clan, an offshoot of of which settled in Ireland at the begin ming of the 17th century, and was one
 of James Is most successful captains. He was made a baronet in 1921, and his
 successors are Premier Baronets of Ire land. The first baronet won special fame for his relief of Birr in 1642 His son was eSeated Earl of Mountrath in cele-
 bration of this exploit, and the earldom continued till the death of the unma rried 7th earl in 1902. The famous Eyre Cootes are branch of the clan.

You have to order ahead however. and tell them the time you want to serve 1t so that it will be ready,
 "But doesn't it cost lot more?' asked the girl in the white shoes.
 "Y-yes 1t does cost more. But then you don't have any cost of gas and you don't have any of the trouble of the cooking"
 That's right admitted the girl with the white shoes and black stockings, as she bent over to look at herself in the small gold mirror above the writing desk. And until learn cooking.
 ''Oh, just lots of the brides in the building never cook thing. Between the stuff you can get in cans and the bakery and the delicatessen it's not a bit. neces- sary to do so unless you really like it

 The girl with the sweetheart bouquet smiled Don't fuss about managing in these little apartments" she advised. There's really nothing to manage at all. If you don't care to take milk or cream. you can whistle down the dumb waiter and the delicatessen shop in the base ment will send it up and you can send the pennies down. Lots of the people in the building are out most Of the time and they can't be bothered waiting for the milkman in the morning, especially now that he delivers late again, and so they just get it downstairs. Besides, you don't notice the cost of it that way and you can get what you need without put ting any note out for the n1ilkman or marking the card that he leaves"

THE rnirAHrIrE AGREEMENT

The league of nations was devised for order of things, especially in Europe, and to do away with the practice which has so long held sway over there of making secret treaties in order to accomplish the grabbing of territory.
 How well it starts out is illustrated by the manner in which 1t is now announced that Great Britain, France and Italy on the tenth of last August signed an agree ment whereby Turkey would be parti- ticned amongst them, each having what is termed sphere of influence. Though there is no definite fixing of the terri tory that will go to Great Britain it is supposed to be that which is not included in the French and Italian spheres.
 It is 10 be noted that this agreement was arranged at the time the Turkish treaty was signed and though it is just made public it doesn't appear that the league had any part therein or that it knew anything about it. It was one of those. secret deals which the league was expected to prevent and participated in by three of the leading league members making 1t evident that one of the famous furteen points have gone tobogganing
 Turkey presented a problem which caused the powers no small amount of uneasiness. Efforts of the strongest kind were made to get the United States to accept the mandate for Armenia but without success. IL is to be noted that Great Britain, France and Italy are moi ander the secret arrangement accepting the mandates for the different spheres o.ce which they have agreed upon but . will practically have control hencefortt thus upsetting some of the illusions which have prevailed about the reforms that have taken place in Europe and the desirability of getting entangled there. with.
