John F. Kramer, prohibition COM
missioner. has instructed the gov.
ernment's supervisors at Washing
ton to be careful in issuing permit
books to physicians for prescribing
whisky. He advised that when a ply
sician asked for more than one book
quarter the supervisor should take
steps to ascertain the reason. Each
book contains 100 prescription per-
mits.
Mr.. Kramer said: "a number OF
physicians have written to me stat
ing it as their professional opinion
that not more than 100 permits for
whisky should, on the average, be
issued to B. physician, in q single
year. There was a case in which one
physician issued ATS prescriptions
for whisky in Q single day."

Doubt is expressed that wolves
could be seen from an airplane, but
the commanding officer at Chanute

One of the relics of former days,
| when all of south Texas was an I'M
/ broken ranch region, has just pass
| ed away by the burning of the ranch
house owned by Fl. B. Crosby, situat-
ed near Three Rivers. This building
| in it's time was perhaps the finest
| between San Antonio and the Gulf.
1t was built forty-seven years ago
| by John Campbell, who is well
known to all Of the old time cattle
men of Texas. He hauled lumber
| far across the country from st.
Mary.
The residence was q two-story
structure with many large guest
rooms Notwithstanding the long
distance that the lumber had to be
| hauled, there was no stint OF TINS
material in the erection OF tne
| building. That it was most substan-
| TALLY constructed is shown by the
fact that at the time it was burned
| it was in practically as good condl-
| ton as when it was first built.

The latest to adopt the method are

The British embassy, for instance,
is foreign territory; whether the side
walk in front of it is American ter
ritory no one has essayed to decide.
Moreover, there is a federal law
which penalties any person VINO as

of friendly power.
Whether picketing of the embassy
| is an annoyance to the British diplo-
mats, and whether an annoyance IS
an assault within the technical mean

Then there is involved the ques-

disturbances often grow out of the
picketing.
