ANOTHER DRIVE ON
 PROHIBITION LAWS
Kentucky DistilIerieS and Ware house Go. Files Brief Which
 Will Be Heard Monday.

Washington. March 6.-The pro- hibtion amendment and portions of the enforcement act Were attacked as unconstitutional in a brief filed in the supreme court today by the Ken lucky Distilleries and Warehouse Co., in appeals from federal court de- CreeS holding the acts valid. The case will be argued Monday along with the Rhode Island and other cases.
 The brief alleges the amendment invades the sovereign powers eX- pressly reserved by the federal con- StitutiOn to the states: that three fourths of the state have not rati- fled it because in 12 it has not been submitted to referendum state statutes provide and that both the amendment and the Nolstead act take property without just mpensation.
 The brief also alleges that the prohibition resolution was not con- stitutionally adopted by the house and senate because the affirmative vote for the resolution was not two thirds of the mem bership in each body, but only two-third of those present.

Tarzan followed the trail. On hands

acquainted with anew-the instinct

In the same hut was the scent spoor

Ideal Home for a Small Family, En- bodyIno Comfort, Protection and Security-Home That Will

 One of the best antidotes for na- tional restlessness, dissatisfaction and strife is home ownership. Invariably Il home owner is substanti citizen of the community in which he dwells because he has a tangible interest and a pride in civic welfare. Moreover, he has the satisfaction that comes from feeling of security which only a home can inspire. As tenant the head of family is never certain of his status. He is subject to the whim of the landlord; more important, how ever he Is not making any progress. Rent receipts have never been accept ed as collateral at bank nor is there the remotest possibility that they will be in the time to come. A mortgage on home represents value.
 For the man of moderate means the ownership of home is not impossible by any means. Take for instance the charming little bungalow shown here with floor plans. It is all that fam fly of medium size could desire-.at- tractive, well laid out and substan- tially built, yet is reasonable in cost, as detailed exposition of its features will show. It is the ideal home for the small family who wish to get away from the crampiness of the large apartment buildings in the city. It embodies comfort, protection and se- curity, a home that will last for life
