STEAD
 ORGANIZATION
 CROWS iN WEST
Son of Champ Clark Promi- nent Member of Missouri Branch of National As sociation Against Eigh- teenth Amendment.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 12. - John Barleycorn, cremated, has active back CTS - though belated-
 In effort to T1SuScilate the erSt- while eminent U. E. ' from drowning while submerged in Volsteadism, the Missouri branch of the National Asso- citation Against the Eighteenth Amend nent today has become militant against ''sumptury laws that belong to aperiod of despotsm."
 Among fhe prominent members of the organization which admittedly does not seek to be ally of hootch and open saloons," is Bennett c. Clark, son of the late Champ Clark, former Speaker of Ghe House of Representa- tives. Among prominent members of the parent body of the national associa- tion, late Irwin $. Cobb, Kermit Roose- welt, Harrison Grey Fsske, Arthur Hammers-ein, Stuyvesant Fish, Mrs. Sidney Fish, the Right Rev. Monsignr Edward J. McGoldrick and Augustus Themas. The national body was or ganized at Baltimore by Captain w. H. Stayton.
 'sINhe citizens of Missouri are asked to institute an auxiliary organization to cooperate with the parent and other like associations" declares judge Henry S. Priest, president of the local uni. ''The members of the organiza- tion primarily believe in temperance and are opposed to the open saloon. I've believe, however, that the II ghteenth Amendment 6s a political H resy, fraugh5 with infinite mischief tsO the country We believe the Vol sh Id act a perversion of the intent OE'that amendment! and an fnquitous aAsault upon the liberties of the peo- pie, which is immoral in result.
 A Political Whip.
 The amendment itself is a usurpa- Government. Under the guise of the power to amend the Constitution it takes from the States the power ex- pressly reserved to them severally by dnCtrnUl right of local self-governmenti so dear and so necessary to a free people, and concentrates it in the Federal Govern mont. If this is to be precedent Sta'ee will be mere districts to be governed by Congress. as it now legislates for the District of Columbia
 'tThe little power-the right of con- current enforcem ent-reserved to the States by the amendments, was de- strdyed by the VolStead act as 1n- terItrened by the Supreme Court.
 The amendment and the act are to- / gether immoral in their operative re- suits. The method is a mistaken one No reform inmorals ever has been or ever will be accomplished through legislation.
 ''Such sumptuary laws belong to the period of despotisrn. Such legislation creat es a disregard of law and con- tempt for authority. :
 These laws are expensively inef' ficienL The Government spends mil lions of dollars of our money to main tain spies upon our homes and busi- ness places, who assist the prosperous trade of illicit distilling and bootleg ging: therefore oppose these so-called laws because they destroy the right of loca government; because they must be and intellectual for good and are add uselessly to the already heavy burdens of taXattOn.s

 You can mix these ingredients yourself by warming the oils and waxes until they are blended. then It produces a thick cream which should be rubbed over the eyelids and into tlfe upper and lower eyelaShes. Like most beauty treatments it is best can be used on the eyebrows if they are too thin.

ENCLAND'S NEW FILM CITY LOCATED ON

London. Dec. 12 -'Los Angeles on-Thames" describes iwonderfui film city, which is springfng up at
 Six big studios, with attendant buildings, are in course of erection, and Oatlands Park, a fine old English veIopment of film manufacture.
 It is appropriate that this develop ment should take place at Walton, for it was in the small kitchen of house in Hurst Grove twenty-one years ago that Cecil Hepworth, the pioneer of British film production, made his first moving picture.
 Since men the Hepworth firm alone small studio, many of which have gained worldwide reputation.
 There was bound to be a reaction against the constant California set- ain moro than favorably compares with Los Angeles's best. The Thames Valley affords scenery that is incom- parable anywhere
 A good deal of employment will be afforded British people, as it Is intend ed to form resident stock companies to produce on the spot.
 Two engines from the German sub marine U-19, weighing nineS four tons, have been adapted at Walton to make the new production centre inde- pendent of the sunlight.
 Oaklands Park, which will be the TOT many llliilS, IS a TOlIdIllic spot, acquire for the Crown by Henry VtII in 1887. James I and Charles l occupied the palace, the ruins of which still stand.
 A grotto, cos fng over $200,000, was built in the grounds by the Duke of Newcastle from shells of every de- scription from all parts of the world This weird building is still in ex- istence.
 Artificial stalactites inlaid with satin spar, granite and coral, hang | from the domed ceilings. The Allied | Sovereigns dined there in 1874; in 1921 Leslie Henson used it for making l the fun in '!Alf's Button" Men from public schools and univer- l sities, with experience of the various | sechricaiies, have been quietly | trained to take charge of the new pro- l ductions.
 i The personal for the new output 1 will be recruited from the present
 sock company, which includes Alma Taylor, Chrissfe White, Henry Ed wards, Gerald Ames and Eileen l DenneS.
 It is not expected that the scheme
 will fully materialize until the latSer | part of next month.

This is very difficult, since the eyelashes would have to be dyed. but there is splendid tonic which will make them long if it is faithfully used.

Captain Monckton pays tribute to
the courage of our old friend the
Goldfish, which he ranks far above the
shark as terror to divers. After speak
ing contemptuously of the shark, he
writes:
1.-THE Goldfish, however, is afraid of
nothing, and will nose up to diver,
smell around until it discovers his
naked hands and then bite them off
Owing to this unpleasant trait on the
part of the Goldfish, the first and i'm
portant duty of divers tender is to
wash the formers hands thoroughly
with soap, soda and warm water be-
fore he descends, in order to remove
any trace of perspiration or grease
from them. A divers hands are the
sole portion of his body outside the
diving suit, the dress ending at the
wrists, where thick India rubber bands
prevent the admission of water and
the expulsion of air. Should diver
meet q large groper, the only thing
to be done is to either ascend twenty
or thirty feet and drift out of the
short-sighted fsh's range Ct vision; or,
if there is no tide or current, rise to
the surface. Then he can lower a
dynamite cartridge or two, which will
either Kill, wound or brighten the beast
away"

PRODUCTION to Major Locks The
Conqucrors of Palestine. The book
appears at an opportune time. The
late war swung the Holy Land into the
sphere of battle, and now there are
plans for its development as a country
or a home for the Jewish people.
Lock goes back, properly, to the
trek of the Israelites from Egypt and
in readable narrative gives the battle
phases of their march and conflicts
on the road. We learn of an elemen-
tary strategy used in these struggles,
and the whole scope of the early pages
of the Bible takes on new meaning.
Then follow chapters on the Assyrians,
Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs,
the Crusades, the French and the
British. 1t is a book filled with color
that glows upon the field of it's bare

Model Orations
Complete Texts of Many
Noteworthy Addresses

CLASSIFIED MODELS or SPEECH CON
POSITION Compiled by James Milton
ONeill. Published by The Century COM
pany Price $3.50.
What we may call the literature Of
oratory is too much neglected in our
time. Speeches, even the most I'M
portant, are seldom reported and still
more seldom printed in full. Indeed,
speechmaking is pretty generally con-
sidereda bore, superfuity, an anach-
ronism, which went out of fashion
along with the Dodo and the Great AUX.
AS for persons who read great speeches
as thew would read novels or even
books of travel or of history, their
name is rari nantes.
Yet here is at once reminder and
q demonstration that there is no finer
literature and none more Accordingly
interesting than that which is to be
found in speeches of various kinds
orations, addresses, sermons, after
dinner speeches and what not. Indeed,
it is natural that it should be so, for
the speech has, both subjectively and
effectively, the lNValuaOle peiSoildi
touch. 1t is an argumentum ad hon.
mem. Not like even the best of es-
saws, addressed vaguely to whomever
it may concern, it is the personal voice
of the speaker addressed directly to
concrete. visible, tangible hearers; and
through a certain magic of personal
II ansmutation that address is trans
TERED, at whatever distance of time or
place, to the reader, so that he feels
that the eloquence, the pathos, the
humor, the argument, even the invec-
tive, of the orator are all addressed
directly to him and are intended for
him alone.
1t is not improbable that much harm
has been done in the direction of dis
enlargement of speechmaking by the
common publication of brief extracts
from great speeches, or still more
brief quotations from them, which, in
stead of whetting the appetite for the
