NEW YORK. Oct. 14.--In books
and plays and scenarios the sirens
are always long and beautiful and
pamper themselves throughout the
plot like poisonous plants OF the
tropics that lull their victims into
perfumed sleep from which they
never awake.
The victims that are vamped In
the stories and on the screens are
always men Of much personality
and SO gorgeously groOmed that
you sometimes wouldn't mind be-
Ing the vamp yourself.
The wives they are torn away
from are almost as gorgeous as the
vanip herself, and you think that
the whole matter could be beauti-
fully settled II the wife would only
try to find out who makes the
vamp's flimsy negligees and did the
interior decorating In her flat.
The only reason he seems to
have for leaving home Is the fact
that his wife may be q little finicxy
about his dropping cigarette ashes
on the carpet, and the vamp seems
to let him.

Several OF the leaders In Congress

Commissioner Haynes objection to
many OF the present officials super

been slow to follow his instructions.
Some have been averse TO making
revolutionary changes In the systems

erninE distribution OF Government

Sudden shift In enforcement control
In Pennsylvania, which In effect gives
Commissioner Haynes personal repre-
sentative equal authority with the
State director. may lead to a complete
over-turn Of the present dry machine
there. 1t Is not improbable State d.
rector Mcconnell may vacate office.
The cleanup in New York and
Pennsylvania may be followed by ef.
forts to revolutionize present enforce

considered likely that officials may
next take mp the enforcement situa-
tion In Maryland, Illinois. New Jersey.
Michigan, Ohio. Delaware, Indiana,

With the limited forces at the COM
mand OF prohibition chiefs It is ex-
pected that the clean.ups in all these
States can be prosecuted one at .

Frost fellow shall fall under the spell
of my beauty"
The Big Tree and the Shrub In vain
warned her to go when the summer
days were over, but inquisitive Rose
Bush would not heed them. II want
to see this wonderful artist" she told
them, land show you also that he will
become my slave"
So one night after all the other
flowers in the garden had gone to bed
Rose Bush kept one beautiful big BIOS
som awake and waited to see Jack
Frost. Over the mountains and tree
tops he came softly and without his
Mother-North Wind-so that no one
knew of MS presence until he leaped
the garden wall.
He espied the beautiful blossom on
Rose Bush the first thing, and quickly
he touched her soft petals with his
long. icy fingers.
IL knew he could not resist me-"
thought Rose Bush, though she shiv-
cred under his touch, but she saw, too.
that she looked very beautiful In the
moonlight, all frosty from his caresses.
The next morning. as the sun
peeped over the wall, Rose Bush
looked SO beautiful that the Big Tree
and the Shrub gazed on her with
admiration.
"You see, my friends. he did not
leave me to de-" said Rose Bush; "be
made me more beautiful than before"
But the Big Tree and the Shrub
did not reply. They knew what would
happen when the sun shone on her In
a little while.
BY and by the warmth melted the
frost and poor Rose Bush began to
droop, then her petals curled, and
before night she had withered.
poor Rose" sighed the Big Tree,
"she was SO inqufsitive she had to see
for herself"
II am not sure whether 1t was her
vanity or because she was inqulsitive,"
said the Shrub, ''but 1t is just as we
sSid--not even her beauty could save
her from Jack Frost's frosty touch"
