Colin came for a little while every
day. We went for long walks In

the tantalizing warmth of the early

If the hoopskirt is recognized in our
best American style circles, it will
be in a very modified form.
New York has something to say
about fashions these days-so freaky
fashions from the other side are
eliminated by the authority of our
own style arbiters.
Even in fashions America strives
to be practical. We haven't room
for h~oopskirts except on the stage.
Fancy a bevy of hoopskirted damsels

WHISKY TAX is
DECLARED LEGAL

Frankfort. Ey, Feb. 1S.-Kentuckys
whiskey tax law, Imposing a tax of 80
cents a gallon on liquor in bonded
warehouses in the state, is constitu-
tiopal according to decision of the
ooliSt of appeals today. ...... Z
State officials estimate, il the deciss
ion Is upheld by higher courts one
phase OF which is now before the Unit
ed States supreme court the tax will
produce $l5.00O,000. G.. ~.
The whiskey tax law, passed by the
1920 general assembly, for the benefit
OF the state road fund, was attacked by
a Frankfort distiller upon the ground
that 1t was an unlawful eXaction OF
legislative power and conGscated prop
erty without due process of law.
Judge. Sampson. vofcing the opinion
of the court of appeals, decided ad-
versely. Moreover, it held that the
general assembly could legislate both
TO raise revenue under its police pow
ers and that 1t was entirely within its
rights in taxing certain occupations
and not taxing others. The court held
however, that the tax is not cumulative
and is payable only when whiskey is
withdrawn from bonded warehouses.
This was the first suit filed to test
the law. A similar suit tried in the
Federal Court at Louisville was de-
cided against the State and Is now
pending in the United States Supreme
Court &. ...1."
