One WET SPOT YET
REMAINS UNDER
AMERICAN FLAGS
By Associated Press.)


San Juan, Aug. 1S.-Probably the
only place under the American flag
where prohibition is not now in force
is in the Virgin Islands where, until
congress enacts new laws, the old
Danish laws remain IN force.
The Colonial Council of St. Croix
has just passed a bill repeating for
mer local legislation for that island
which provided for local prohibition
until a specified period after the end
ing OF the war. Similar legislation Is
pending in the Colonial Council for
the islands of St. Thomas asd St.
John.
The treaty of sale by which the is
lands were transferred from Den
mark to the United States provided
that laws in force at the time Of the
transfer should remain in full force
and effect until Congress enacted
special legislation for the islands.
This has not yet been done. In the
meantime the constitution of the
United States, in all of its provisions,
is not applicable to the islands and
the eighteenth amendment has. no
meaning there.

human parentage, we may find dogs
galore, dogs of many and various
breeds, spaniels, Pekinese and pugs,
varying widely in degrees of ugliness,
but varying not at all in their abso-
lutte worthlessness.
The dogs have apparently displaced
the babies in the minds of a certain
class of women, and the men who
own the apartment houses. naturally
cater to the wishes Of their wealthy
patrons. 1t is a sad commentary on
human nature, when women lavish
their affections on hideous poodles,
and insist upon privileges for these
pampered pets, which they deny to
little souls fresh from Gods own
hand.
A case has recently come to our
notice which well illustrates the cru
city and injustice Of this law of Man,
man, which differentiates in favor Of
our worthless dogs, as against human
souls with human possibilities. A
young man returned from overseas
service, married his sweetheart and,
having no oversupply Of this worlds
goods set up his Lares and Penates
in an apartment house. When the
Children's home burned, the couple,
having no children of their own, and
moved by charitable impulses, took
one of the waits from the home,
pledging themselves to care for it a
year, furnishing 1t food and clothing
and such education as was possible;
in short, giving it home such as it
mad never known. 1t was an act of
pure charity, for they were under no
obligations either to the little one or
to the home. Out Of the pure good.
ness Of their hearts they did it. Com
mendable, you say, but wait for the
sequel.
Recently the apartment where they
had been living was sold and they
were compelled to seek another
home. Then their troubles began.
