18TH AMENDMENT IS
HELD TO Be immune
Supreme Tribunal UphoIds Man.
ner in Which Ratification
Was Made.

Observation-Disclosures of farreach-
ing Importance announced by the Unit
ed States Supreme Court were:
President Harding's proposal, while
senator, that states must ratify the
prohibition amendment within seven
years does not invalidate it. This
makes the amendment immune from
future legal attacks, as all its sections
have been specifically upheld.
BY unanimous decision the court de-
clared that Section 3 of the amend
ment, requiring that it must be ratified
within seven years after its submission
by Congress does not invalidate it,
as was set forth by attorneys for the
liquor interests.
The entire amendment now has been
specifically approved by the court. Sec
lions l and 2 were held valid last
June, but no mention of Section 3 was
made at that time, as the question was
not raised. The vets grabbed at this
banishes their hopes.
The court also set at rest all doubts
on when the amendment and that part
of the Volstead law enforcing it be-
came effective. 1t emphatically named
January 16, 1920, as the date.
Hundreds of millions will be kept
in the treasury by the government
winning two big tax cases. The in
creased value of property or natural
resources held by corporations, even
though held as invested capital, is in
come and therefore taxable. The fed
cral Inheritance tax was upheld and
the refusal of the government to allow
deductions for state tax payments OF
similar nature approved.

be looked after as they came unchap'
eroned None of them had ever been
to Baltimore before. They engaged
taxi man at the station to take them
to their destination. Chattering and
giggling as girls will, they were finally
deposited in front of an imposing
house and while collecting the fares,
the eldest one exclaimed-"Girls this
don't look like Mrs. .....'s house
Mother said it was red brick with
a porch! Are you sure this Is the
place?'-turning to driver-"Sure
Miss!"-$2.80 please" But just then
one of our people came around the
corner and overhearing the remarks
stepped up to the group quickly ask;
ing, where did you want to go?" The
girls told him and as he turned to
speak the driver was already in his
machine and speeding off.
The officer knew the nature of the
house and as it was long distance
from their destination, he took them
with him to a store, called another ma
chine and conducted them personally
to their mothers friend, explaining the
narrowness OF their escape to her,
Mortified and crest fallen those girls
were deeply grateful and they at least
will never fail to warn their young
friends against such carelessness and
thoughtlessness in travelling.
However" concluded Major Bale,
smiling, "all drivers are not bad"
1--WE found cab by waiting one cold
morning in front of one Of our Halls.
He was walking up and down trying to
keep warm while his fare" young
;irl, was huddled in heap and crying
so that she could not speak.
"It developed that she had quar-.
relied with her grandmother, who lived
on farm, answered an advertisement
as housekeeper, and companion to an
elderly lady and scraped together
money enough to make the trip. At
the station, after long night journey,
she gave the address to the taxi driver.
Recognizing the place from the card,
he questioned her and discovered that
she was being innocently decoyed to
this place of bad repute. She had no
money, knew no one, and was SO
frightened when he informed her Of
the nature of the house to which she
was going, she begged him to take her
somewhere that was safe.
81 brought her here to you people"
he explained, shell be safe here"
So we want to make every possible
effort to make and keep girls who
came to Baltimore SAFE"

WAS EXPECTED TO PROTEST
Customary at One Time for Speaker
of House of Commons to Re-
sist Appointment.

In one respect newly appointed
speaker Of the British house of COM
mons may congratulate himself that
there has been an abandonment Of
some of the old customs, for he is
no longer expected to make an elabor-
ate pretense of unwillingness to accept
his great office.
This pretense was carried to great
lengths at one time, and the cere-
mony took on some points of likeness
to the bridal customs of savage. cOun-
tries, for the speaker was expected to
make show even of physical re-
sistance when led to the chair.
1t was not an original custom Of the
house. Far back in history it appears
that speakers protested to the house
and to the crown against their cleo
ton only when they really did not
want to be appointed. 1t seems to
have been under the Tudors that
ridiculous subservience was imported,
and it was expected of the speaker,
that he should make repeated ex-
cuses and declare himself unworthy OF
election"

II Is Hard to Be Accurate.

Can you exactly describe what you
see? IF you can, you are cleverer
than most persons. A book recently
published in Paris relates that at a
meeting of scientific men two of them
suddenly began to quarrel. Under
pretense Of obtaining legal evidence
the president of the meeting asked
everyone present to write an exact
report of what had happened. The
quarrel was a pure piece of acting
arranged to test the powers Of OBJ
servation of the men present.
Though the assembly was composed
entirely of jurists, psychologists and
doctors, only one report contained
less than 20 per cent Of error; IL re-
ports had more than 80 per cent
wrong; and in "a reports from 10 to
Is per cent Of the details were wholly
Imaginary. When men of science can
80 err we can understand how easily
the ordinary man can go astray The
story shows why lawyers value cir
cumstantial evidence so highly

No Divorce in Great Russia.

To the peasants of Great Russia
marriage is a tie that death alone can
sever, and divorce by the help Of law
courts is practically unknown to
them. If the husband and wife can
not get along together they simply
agree between themselves to live
apart, the husband taking the boys
and the wife the girls, in cases where
there are any children. In spite Of
the fact that there is no recourse to
the courts, however, husband and wife
in Great Russia do not know each 9TH
er before marriages except in rare In
stances. The selection is made by
the parents or guardians, and it is I'M
seemingly for the bridegroom to see
the bride more than once before the
nuptials.

Cultivate Distinct Speech.

Let us consider clear and distinct
en1nciation as contrasted with other
kinds Talking distinctly is one of the
finest of human accomplishments. The
Association of the Hard of Hearing, at
a recent meeting, urged the cultiva-
ton of ip-reading by those inclined
to deafness Talking with the lips Is
as good for those who talk as it is for
those who listen. The finest and clear
est enunciation Is by those who enun-
ciate with the lower lip and the
tongue, instead Of by wagging their
Jaws and talking through their noses.
Avoid masticating your spoken words,
and that besetting Yankee sin-the
rasal twang boston Globe.

POSSIBLE TO BE TOO FRANK
Honest Criticism by Friends Would
Wreck Relations-Aimost Every
One Has "Paste Jewels"

It is impossible to tell the whole
truth to an average human being and
still remain on terms of friendship
with him. There is little friendship
without make-believe. If two men are
close friends, you may take it that
they have been pretending to a con-
siderably higher estimate of each other
than they would set down in perfect
honest diary.
It is not necessary that they should
deliberately lie to another, but they
must disTeetly conceal certain
amount of criticism that is going on
all the time behind the bones of their
skulls.
What is said in a spirit of truth is
set down to malice. Can a man be
your friend if he steals the crown
from your head? Can he be your
friend even If he steals a single jewel
from your crown-especially the paste
jewel? We have all-the greatest and
the meanest of us-paste jewels in our
crowns. Will true friend point them
out to a world that is already over
much inclined to scott? Or will he not
rather organize a claque that will
pretend to be dazzled by diamonds?
Man is not only a realist. He is also
q lover of romance. He dreams of
what he would be quite as often as
he deplores what he is. He cannot
help being attracted by people who
make his dream appear true. There
are some men who are such intense
cyclists that they can believe in the
truth of their dreams without any
assistance from other people. SOuthey
agreed that his "Madoc" was "the
best English poem since Paradise
Lost" There was no need to tell
him so; he knew it already.-New
Statesman, London.
