Aeolian Hall. 1t is not necessary to
state at this late date that he played
all of it well, some of it superbly. AS

Old Gentleman Had Particular Use
for That Peculiarly Atrocious-
Looking Beetle.

On the counter of the Christmas
bazaar stood all the usual horrors
which an INSCRIPTIONS world insists on
giving the poor Riddles as "toys. y
There were animals, birds and insects
which resembled nothing save the
creatures of particularly fierce night
mare.
The customer steadied himself by a
chair and, after a careful selection,
picked up one specially terrible beetle.
"I'll take that" he told the assistant.
"How much is it,?
"Half a dollarw replied the girl.
SIS it for your little boy?"
"No; want to take it to dinner

who did not dust every few moments,

WILLING TO STRIKE BARGAIN
Wife Quite Ready to Abandon Style
if Her Hubby Would Only Do
His Part.

She was one Of those dressy women
who always wear the latest thing,
whether it suits her or not.
One day her hat touched her nose ;
next week it rested on the back of her
neck. Her last frock barely covered
her shoe tops, her new ones huddled
round her ankles. Oh, she was always
"it!''
Her husband was no passive resist
er. Regularly he raised his voice in
protest at each craving after fashion.
But the one thing that really annoyed
him was when she suddenly scraped
her hair straight back from her fore
head on top and trained it down like
window curtains on each side Of her
face.
Look here!" he said in exaspera-
ton Cant / induce you 10 stop

charming smile. "Buy me diamond

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-The prohibition amend
ment and the enforcement act were
held to be constitutional by the Su-
preme Court in unanimous decision.
The Courts opinion rendered by JUS
tice Willis Van Devanter, was sweep
ing. 1t held that the amendment not
only came within the amending power
conferred by The Federal constitution,
but was proposed lawfully and now
was the law of the land. While recog-
nizing that Congress had limitations
in respect to the enforcement of laws
regarding beverages, the Court held
those limits were not transcribed in
the enactment of the enforcement act
restricting alcoholic content of intox-
icants to be one-half of one per cent.
While New York, New Jersey and
Wisconsin acts permitting manufacture
and sale of beverages Of more than
one-half Of one per cent alcoholic con-
tent were not involved directly, the de-
cision was interpreted as invalidating
them. The Court said the first section
Of amendment of it's own force ''invali-
dates any legislative act-whether by
Congress, by state legislature, or by
a territorial assembly-which author
ICES or sanctions what the section pro-
hibits" Concurrent power granted by
the amendment to Federal and state
governments to enforce prohibition, the
Court further held, ''dOes not enable
Congress or the states to defeat or
thwart prohibition, but only to enforce
by appropriate MEANS"
While agreeing as to the validity Of
the amendment and enforcement act,
Justices Joseph McKenna and John
Hessin Clarke dissented from the ma
jority Interpretation of the concurrent
power Of Federal and state govern
ments to enforce prohibition.
Chief Justice Edward Douglas White
held that the Court should set forth
the reasoning for it's decision. He did
this in supplemental opinion.
Justice James Clark McReynolds, in
brief statement, declared he was of
the opinion that it was impossible to
say at this time what construction
should be given to the amendment.
He added that because Of the be-
wilderment which the amendment
causes" he preferred to remain free
to consider the multitude of questions
which "inevitably will arise and re-
quire solution The dissolution set
at rest contentious previously laid be-
fore the Court that the amendment
should not affect alcoholic liquors
manufactured prior to January 16,
when the amendment became effective.
Regarding arguments to the effect
that a state having constitutional ref
erendum provisions could not have
been said to have ratified the amend
ment until it had been submitted to
the voters, the Court cited it's opinion
rendered $last Monday in the Ohio
referendum cases, in which it held
that such referendum provisions did
not apply to Federal amendments.
