ABSENT VOTERS
LAW HELD INVALID
BY HIGH COURT
Court Of Appeals Holds Absent vot-
ers' Law a War Measure Which
Is Unconstltutl0nal-Wlll
Cut Big Figure.

Frankfort, KY, Nov, 1.-The Absent
Voters Law, enacted In 1918, is uncon-
stitutional, beyond the hope OF resti-
tuition except by q Constitutional
amendment, Judge Sampson OF the
Court of Appeals held Tuesday and
the whole court concurred, in the case
OF Green X. Lyon, Republican, candi-
date for Mayor Of Frankfort, against
County Clerk ]. b. Nash.
But the provision Of the statute per-
hitting the registration Of absentees
is upheld, since registration is a pure
ly legislative subject, not mentioned
by the Constitution.
State employees at Frankfort and
Federal employees at Washington, as
we'll as travelling men, soldiers and
sailors, will have to go home to vote
and all the hundreds Of votes sent by
mail to county clerks to be cast In the
election next Tuesday will have to be
destroyed. The decision may deter
mine the result in some close counties
and districts.
Section 147 of the Constitution, on
which the Absent Voters Law was
wrecked, provides that "All elections
by the people shall be by secret Off
cial ballot, furnished by public au'
thority to voters at the polls and
marked by each voter in private al
the polls and then and there depos'
ited."
In view of the ambiguous Language
of the organic law, the Court an
nouncer the obvious conclusion tina
the ballot cannot be furnished b!
public authority to the voters at thu
polls and marked by each voter at thu
polls If it is mailed to him at some ad
dress outside the county where th'
election is being held. Our lawmaKlhs
body overlooked this provision OF tn
Constitution" the Court continued
"when it undertook to and did pas
the Absent Voters Law.
ut was in the nature of an emer
gency act. The great World War wa

AUTO SERVICE STATION OPENED,

The East Side Auto Service station
will be opened at East Second and
Commerce streets Wednesday under
the management Of Mr.. Ashby Bur-

tractive one and adds much to the at
tracitveness Of that section of the
city. Located as it is on Feast Second
street, probably the most used street
in the city by auto drivers, the new
station should enjoy much business.

; The two rear bedrooms are not as
large as those just described, but are
ample for the needs of family and
we'll lighted and ventilated. It is
important to build in enough Win
dow space in the modern home. The
i?ld idea was to keep as much air out
as possible in sleeping rooms. Con-
.sequently very little window space
was provided for in these rooms. How
ever medical science has shown that
the healthiest home is the one that af-
fords the most fresh air. For that rea-
son bedrooms should be thoroughly
ventilated.
There is also a high attic in this
house. In case extra room is needed
for sleeping quarters or the children
want a large and pleasant play room
this attic space can be used All that
is needed is a few yards of wall
board and few hours work. Side
dormers and windows in front and
rear afford plenty Of light.
This is the type of home that will
appeal to the majority Of families. 1t
is devoid of freak and frill and for
that reason more or less economical
In cost, for special designs always call
for extra expense. At the same time
it is pleasing in appearance and built
to last.
1t is adopted for use in the large
city, suburb or small town.

According to all indications, the big
demand by home builders for several
years to come will be for small homes.
thousands of families, in an effort to
get away from the exorbitant rents of
the apartments in the cities, will build
homes of their own, and because Of
the cost and their limited means. these:
homes will necessarily be small. But
they will be as complete and just as
modern as any pretentious home on an
exclusive boulevard. The building art
has been developed to the point where
the small home can supply the same
comforts and conveniences that the
larger and more expensive one has
heretofore had alone.
With small home the man is not
worried over rents, not worried over
a place for his children; he has plenty
of room to turn around in, plenty of
fresh air to breathe. And he is an in
dependent citizen keenly interested in

front bedroom opens out on to a small
balcony with special prepared canvas
flooring.
There will be thousands of small
homes like the one shown here built
this spring and summer If they are
planned along the same substantial
lines, there need be little fear that
they will not prove to be comfortable
and ideal homes. Only through the
protection and continued prosperity of.

shortage it is imperative that build,

CLOCK IN rs YEARS
Workman Of Delaware, O., Evolves
Elaborate Hand-carved Affair
From Walnut.

Delaware, O.-After rs years Of
tedious labor, G. @. Cregmile has COM
pleted his construction Of a GRANDPA
TIERS clock here.
The clock, on display in a local
store window, is hand carved. It was
made out Of solid black walnut which
formerly constituted part Of pulpit
in the old William Street Methodist
church here.
All polishing, carving and fitting
was done at odd moments by Mr..
Cregmile.
Standing eight feet six inches high,
the clock is beautifully carved on it's
sides and face panels. All cutting is
original. No design was followed.
Mr.. Cregmile, although offered good
money for the unique masterpiece,
has offered to sell it for a relatively
small sum to the William street
church. The clock Is built so that it.
will house cathedral tubular chimes.
