THIRSTY HAVE
DISMAL FUTURE
Even if VOlstead Act Is Declar-
ed Unconstitutional, War
Time Act Still Will Hold
BY HARRY B. HUNT

Washington, May 1s.-Decision by
the supreme court on the suits test
ing the validity of the Volstead pro-
bition enforcement act is expected
by both Anti-Saloon League officials
and liquor interests before the court
finally adjourns for it's summer recess.
No matter which way the decision
goes. however, it will offer no relief
to the thirsty, at least until some
action has been taken officially to
end our war with Germany.
For should the Volstead act be
knocked out the Eighteenth amendment
would still hold and its enforcement
be supported by the terms of the
war time prohibition act. which has
never been repealed.
Even following final proclamation Of
peace, should that come before con-
gress had remedied defects the court
might find in the Volstead law, it
would be long way to- drinks with
even feeble kick.
The constitutional amendment would
still prohibit the manufacture and sale
of Intoxicating beverages and only
in such states as had determined by
statute what constitutes an "intoxi-
eating" drink could such beverages
legally be sold
The fact is, however that even the
liquor forces do not expect the Vol
stead act as whole to be overruled.
They are hoping to weaken it by get
ting certain sections knocked out,
which would make it necessary for
congress to take it up again.
New action by congress, VETS be-
lieve, could be held over until after
the elections this fall, and in the mean
time every effort would be made to-
develop an apparent wet strength and
thus influence the actions of congress
in it's revision Of the law.
Campaigns would be begun in the
various states for legislation permit
ting light wines and beer of from two
to four per cent alcohol to be made
and sold as mon intoxicating ana
thus outside the prohibition OF the
amendment.
Anti-Saloon League forces are rest
ing easily, believing that the action
of the supreme court in sWeeplngly
upholding war time prohibition even
during period Of only technlcal war;
indicates dry attitude.
/, Liquor interests are correspondlngly
depressed. but declare the fight Will
be kept up as long as there is legal
leg to stand on.

ISSUE WARNING
 IN INFLUFN MA

w. c. Bryan. city health officer and H. A. Reese. county health off. cer, have issued the following state ment and warning on the presence of Influenza in the district.
 The long expected influenza CD. idemic is now beginning several whole families and many individuals have contracted it in the past three days.
 We hope to have no quarantine, but in order to avoid it no one who has cough or cold should visit any public place, nor should they visit any private home or allow others to visit them. Do not call on sick peo- pie until the doctor tells you it Is safe to do so.
 Occupants of any house where there is influenza, la grippe, or even a severe cold, must not attend school. churches. theatres or any public place. Stay at home and keep oth- eIS away
 Tt is hoped this epidemic will not cause so many fatalities, but we fear it will be almost as universal as that which started in 1918. Help pre- vent deaths by preventing the spread of infection"

Will Recruit Few Men for Chance to
 Become Aviators

The local recruiting office has been notified by the War Department that while the air service is not open for enlistments, few selected men will be accepted to fill the vacan- cies that have been caused by the discharge of men who were in for one year, also to replace men who have been appointed cadets. These cadets who are selected from the en- listed personnel of the air service are given flying instruction with a view to being commissioned as lieutenants in the reserve corps upon completion of the training. This policy will hold for both heavier and lighter than air cadets. To date 100 enlisted men have been appointed cadets.
 While the air service makes no promises, it will give every man all the opportunity that is possible and it is up to the man to prove himself fit for advancement. Men who are exceptionally we'll qualified for fly ing training, and who enlist with that end in view, shuld request to be ,.aat end in view, should request to be given the sepcial physical exami- nation for such training.
 For those who will be satisfied with ground work there are a multi tude of chances to learn and become proficient in the handling and repair of motors and gas engines. A man who serves three years in the air service will be a skilled mechanic, and upon return to civil life will find the highest salaried position open to him.
 Officers of the local recruiting sta tion are confident that this opening will not last very long, and those who are anxious to enter this popular arm of the service should not delay in making an application.
