CHRISTMAS PUDDINGS
 IN VIOLATION OF LAW
Other Holiday Delicacics Also Come Under
 VOlstead Act.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The flavor ing of home made Christmas plum pudding, mincemeat and branded cherries and peaches with alcoholic spirits is in violation of the prohi- b.tion enforcement law and such foods are liable to seizure, it was stated today at the bureau of internal rev. enue.
 Officials explained that under their interpretation of the enforcement act, culinary products in which alcohol is an ingredient can be made only by manufacturers of food products who obtain a permit from the government and that such products must contain less than one half of one per cent alcohol They also state that the reg ulations require that such products shall not be used or sold on the prem ises, and that this effectively barred the housewife from making Christ mas foods with liquor in them. The regulations specifically state that per- mits shall not be issued to hotel and restaurants.

ARGENTINA, VtxED BECAUSE LEAGUE IS
 NOT TO ADMIT ALL NATIONS, MAY NOW
 WITHDRAW FROM WORLD ORGANIZATION
Geneva Report Hints At Likelihood of Assembly Passing Resolution Providing or Absolute Elimination of Article X Regarded As Useless By Delegates.

Buenos Aires. Dec. 3.-(By Associ- ated Press)-Rejection by the assem- bly of the league of nations of Argen- tino proposals in favor of the admis- sion of all countries to the league may result in the withdrawal of this coun- try from the organization, it was learned here last night. It was said that cablegram was expected from Monorio Pueyrredon, Argentine for eign delegation at Geneva, notifying the government of his decision in the matter.
 Foreign Minister Pueyrredon is un- derstood to have received instructions from his government before leaving for Europe to withdraw from the league if it appeared the assem bly would refuse admission to all sov- ereiyn states. and if Argentina's pro- posal for the constitution of the council on a basis of equality of rep resentation of all nations was not adopted. He was empowered to make decision in accordance with his in- structions.

YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY
 DISCUSSES FOOTBALL
Says What Sport Needs At University is "the
 Family Doctor"

New Haven, Dec. 3.-"what Yale football needs is the family doctor" says the Yale alumni weekly today in a general review of the football sea- son in tho university.
 The Weekly has been receiving the opinions of others on football condi- tions and now strikes out for itself in suggesting causes and effects.
 Tn our opinion," says the Weekly, ~Yale football does not need a pro- fessional specialist to put it on its feet again: the family doctor will re- spond if called. And by this we mean that, while Harvard and Yale have been building up home coaching schools these past few years. Yale has struck blindly out for miracle makers. and forgotten the experience of the days when Yale football was great. The old Yale coaching system was not built up around any one man nor was any individual boss Of it; it was a school of Yale foot ball science under one field coach. to be sure tand it did not seem Lo make any difference who he was) but comprising all Of the knowledge and special talents that a long procession of tried coaches could contribute, continuous and complete up to date by regular infusion of new blood"
 After referring to Yale teams as fighting ones. the Weekly says:
 'Yale teams can play as good foot ball as ever if they are taught right. And why aren't they?"
