RIGID PROHIBITION LAW
IN WEST VIRGINIA

Since the prohibition law passed by
the recent session of the legislature
went into effect July goth. West Vir-
ginia possesses one of the most drastic
and far-reaching antI-liquor laws of
any state in the union. The bill which
is known as the West Virginia prohi-
bition law, includes federal and State
constitutional amendments and the
acts of congress known as the Webb
Kenyon law, parcel post regulations
and the amendments passed by the
legislature OF 1921.
The law absolutely forbids any per-
son possessing at any time liquor of
any description, whether II be for me-
dicinal purposes or otherwise.
Without doubt the most drastic of
the new law is that contained in sec
ton 81. which says that the finding of
any liquor in the possession of any
person other than commercial whiskies
which were purchased when 1t was
lawful to do so, shall be prima facie
evidence that the same Is moonshine.
II goes further and says that 1t is un-
lawful for anyone to have in their
possession moonshine liquor, so that
the mere possession of any kind of
liquor after July 20 will be violation
OF the law and will subject the person,
IL found guilty, to a heavy fine or inn
prisonment or both.

MARBLE DEPOSITS
in KENTUCKY

Frankfort, Ky.-Marble which com
pares favorably with the famous Ten
nessee product has been found in Bar
rem county by Prof. Charles H. Rich
ardson, Syracuse University, who is
making an economic survey of build
ing stone in kentucky for the State
Department OF Geology and DR.. Willard
Jillson. State Geologist The Barren
county marble takes a high polish and
is found in large quantities. One fault
in Kentucky of those engaged in
quarrying, he said. is the failure of
operators to go back of the sap" rock
exposed to erosion and staining.
Kentucky's best known building
stone, of course, is the Bowling Green
white limestone, of which the Execu-
tive Mansion is built, and Kentucky
bluestone, Rowan county, which have
a wide sale outside the State. Good
stone. however is found all over Ken
lucky. with the exception of the Pur-
chase. which is deeply overlaid with
ailuvial deposit. The Tyrone limestone
found along the Kentucky River he
said, is one of the best grades of lime
stone in the State and of this the old
State Capitol was built in 1928. Many
residences in Frankfort are construct
ed of the same material. Excellent
stone also has been uncovered in the
Big Sandy Valley.
