BY MARY ROBERTS RINEHART.

CHICAGO, Jan. IA have been asked
curious question.
The question is why is 1t that since
the prohibition amendment has become
more or less effective the women of the
country drink more than they did before
the eighteenth amendment became a law?
Or perhaps it was put in this form;
Why do more women drink?
In either form the query is much like
saying: Why do dogs fly or birds bark
The answer is that they don't. The fact
is that the women of the country, the
vast majority of them, put prohibition
over, even though only "a comparative
few OF them had chance to vote for it.
Those who couldn't vote, influenced

The first complaint Of the action OF
Mr.. Orbison in distributing this whisky
by means Of letters addressed to the chief
OF police as Dear Jerry to reach Judge
Anderson was made by Or. Thomas Beas-
ley, who told the judge that Orbison has
attempted to use the physicians name
as authority for the prescription Of
whisky when in reality he had neither
prescribed whisky nor had any commu-
nication with OrbisOn.
DR.. Beasley's complaint was immedi
ately referred to Mr.. Van Nuys for in
vestigation and as a result the whole
Dear Jerry scheme of distributing
liquor became the subject of inquiry BY
the district attorney.
Papers pertaining to the case were or
dered held for the use Of the grand jury
and the chief of police received informa-
tion that caused him 10 issue strict or
der against the removal Of any whisky
from the custody of the police.
The Federal grand jury is expected to
take @p the scheme as quickly as it Is
possible to dispose Of cases which are
now under investigation.
The Jurisdiction which, II is believed
the Federal Court may exercise in this
case, is derived from a section Of the
to deliver intoxicating liquor, except
in accordance with the provisions of the
act, which Mr.. Orbison has acknowledged
In writing does not authorize him to
distribute confscated whisky by the use
of Dear Jerry" letters.
LETTER DISCUSSES
COMMON SENSE GUIDE.
That william NJ. williams. commtsF'
sloner OF Internal revenue was informed
on oct. Is, 1920, Of the practice Of Mr..
Orbison Of dispensing liquor, and was
also Informed that the illegal practice
has been discussed with Judge Anderson
and the district attorney and. although
there is no warrant in law for this pro-
cedure, 1t seems to them that a little
common sense should be exercised and
that in desperate cases the whisky should
be so utilized" is indicated by a copy
Of a letter purporting to have been writ
ten by Mr.. Orbison, which has been
called TO the attention OF the officers of
the district court.
When Judge Anderson's attention was
called to the use Of his name in connec-
tion with the Dear Jerry" letters he
remarked that there was a vast differ
ence between urging tn euse of common
sense in the exercise Of legally estab-
lish authority and urging the use of
common sense in the violation Of the
law
The judge let It be known that he had
never given his approval to the distrI-
button Of liquor Illegally by Ir Obj
son or any one else. Mr. Van Nuys re-
called a conversation between the Judge,
Mr.. Orbison and himself concerning the
supplying Of whisky to a dentist, but
declared that the Legality Of the act was
not discussed at the time further than

Much Difference OF
Opinion Regarding
Pool Hall Operation
(Stan CORRESPONDENT.

Bismarck. N. D., Jan. 4.-Pool and
billiard hall proprietors Of the state
OF North Dakota and w. L. Watkins,
superintendent Of the state Law En-
forcement league appear to differ
radically in their ideas OF the proper
method Of regulating their business,
and others with which 1t is more or
less closely allied.
The billiard hall men are planning
to introduce a bill into the present
sess on of the state legislature which
would remove the jurisdiction over
licensing pool halls from the state.
and place it in the hands Of the cities
as it formerly was
On the other hand Mr.. Watkins il
und erstood to have prepared "A bill
which would greatly extend the au-
thority of the licensing department,
and put more drastic penalties into
the present law. The bill which the
law enforcement man favors provides
for the revocation of license, and the
closing of the premises by injunction
for one year, on conviction for two
offenses under the state iicensinE law
or for conviction twice for thk same
offerse.

Bismarck, n. d., Jan. 4.--AlthouEh
there is $77o.227.4s in the state hail
; insurance fund for use in the pay
ment Of claims there are still war;,
rants amounting to s1.1Ss.76S.1G for
hail losses in 1919 remaining unpaid.
These outstanding warrants draw
interest at per cent. while the $f70.-
o:1.46 fund deposited in the Bank Of
! North Dakota is drawing interest, at
!; only two per cent, so to the average
man it might seem the part of Eis-
dom to apply this amount to the pay
ing off of part of the warrants. wfich
would cut down the amount remain
ing unpaid. as we'll as the interest
thereon hH more than half.
The trouble is that this fund is
deposited in the Bank OF North Da-
kota and the management of that in
stitution isn't making any payments
now that can be avoided So. the
chances are that the farmers will
have to wait for their money. and the
state continue to pay this interest.
