ANCIENT HURDY GURDY
 BARRED IN NORTHSiDE,
 PITTSBURG COMM UNITY

PITTSBURG, Dec. 21. - Gone are the happy days in old Allegheny, now known as the Northside, this city. Police Commissioner William Kane banished the hurdy- -gurdy because the proprietors of several business es- tablishments have complained that the organ grinders always gave their con certs in front of their business places, thereby attracting crowds and making it difficult for store employees to keep their minds on their work.
 The hurdy-gurdy man against whom the order is directed has long been free from molestation and school kids have been his chief patrons. Kane says he expects violent protests from the children when they hear of his order.

FROCKS
 ARE LATEST WORD IN
 NEW PARISLAN STYLES

PARIS. Dec. 21 Restaurant frocks are latest development of French counturiers.
 They come for the most part with gay upper parts of lama or em- broidered crepe, with sober skirts of the Graped or straight variety at tached to their low waistlines. They are modest and becoming for street wear, with a jacket, and yet striking and even gorgeous when the jacket is removed, and the upper part alone appears over the restaurant table.
 Francis is showing charming model of this sort in soft black vel vet, with corsage of old rose and blue dentelle de lainey with tiny gold epaulettes The same material forms the collar of the little box jacket, which is embroidered in rose and blue to match the blouse. With the jacket it is a lovely street gown, without it---a very chic restaurant frock. s
 Another model is in black silk cash mere, with waist of gold brocade tissue imported from India and which is guaranteed not to tarnish." A skirt and jacket of moleskin makes up still another, with it goes a blouse of moIe-colored crepe. Almond green pipings give touch of color to the jacket and blouse.
 For the "uppers" of these frocks there is an endless variety of charm ing materials Chinese crepes, decor ated with little scenes of seas and mountains; crepe du Marco, alternat- ed with large stripes of silver or gold; mousselines de soie as delicate as cobwebs and lamas of shimmering gold. As

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.-From present prospects California is to have State prohibition enforcement as Christmas gift.
 When the voters of the Golden State-the greatest wine producing State in the Union-at the recent election sprung the biggest surprise since California went Democratic and returned Woodrow Wilson to the Presidential chair, and by referendum voted for State enforcement of the Volstead act, the measure did not i'm mediately become effective.
 Its effectiveness dates five days from the completion of the official State canvass of the vote. This can vass will begin early in December and is expected to be completed today. Thus on Christmas Day the State enforcement measure will go into effect,

AKRON, OHIO, TO PAVE ITS MAIN THOROUGHFARE
 WITH RUBBER SURFACES

AKRON, O., Dec. Elf an Akron project is carried out as suggested, Broadway, Picadilly, Champs des Elyses and Unter den Linden will have a chance to sit up and take mo- tice.
 It has been proposed that four or five of the huge rubber industries do- nate enough of their product to pave Main street, at least to the south approach of the new s3,o0O,00o viaduct recently dedicated.
 The idea has been suggested by E. E. Helm, in charge of the industrial department of the Chamber of Com merce. His slogan is:
 "Pay the main thoroughfare of Ak ron with rubber, and you will auto matically convert our community into a rubber city which will justify it's name"
 Letters to this effect have been sent by Helm to all the leading rubber manufacturing plants in the city. The plan is said to be receiving favorable consideration.
 The U. s. Department of Commerce, in it's bulletin of October, gives in formation of results achieved in ex- periments along this line in England and suggests that rubber roads be es- tahlished In America

 "Why, I've been called the Joan of Arc of this fight since 1919" she protested.

Speaking of prohibition recalls good story that came from Proh1bl- tion Director Rutter's office the other day. He received letter from Forth Beach, the Italian colony of San Francisco in which the writer pro- tested that the lives of her prize cats were being threatend by North Beach rats
 They feed on the moonshine, mash dumped into ash cans and vacant lots, the writer declared, and after that the writer claimed, they sought combat with cats instead of avoiding it. Director Rutter promised to see what could be done to make the nine lives of the writer's felines safe in that district.

The question of 'how did it hap pen?" was asked on all sides fol lowing the news of passage of the Wright law, as 1t Is named after it's author, Representative T. M. Wright. The answer is: The women Of California got busy. Without a great deal of foreworks they organized a committee of 5000. Recognizing that their best chance of success lay in Southern California, relatively dry territory, they concentrated their efforts there. However, they cour- ageously waged battle in Central and Northern California, concededly 'wet" strongholds, and their sue cess was evident in the manner in which they cut down the wet vote in many counties. San Francisco, wet stronghold, was invaded by the wom- en on the eve of election with a "Women's March of Allegiance They had no floats or bands, but only banners of simple design urg- ing law enforcement and consiitu- tional adherence.

Bootleggers and dry law evaders are not kidding themselves into be- liev:ng that the law of the State will not be enforced and will be dead letter. This was indicated by the effect of announcement that the measure had carried by at least 25,- 900 votes after first being reported showed under two to one by ad- verse votes. Bootleggers promptly boosted prices. They declared the risks of their business would ln- crease 100 per cent with enactment of the State law Many made prompt arrangements to get out of business,

The law, modelled almost in du- plicate of the Volstead act, places the enforcement of prohibition squarely in the hands of the police and sher- ifs of the State. Hitherto they have, been able to pass over Vol stead law violations with an easy conscience because the Federal au- thorities only were charged with en- forcement Bootleggers and their places of business were well known to the police and local officers, but it was not their business to check the lawlessness. Now that it is there seems to be no question that they will enforce the State law The State courts will handle the cases with greater speed and convictions will be obtained in cases where they go by default in the Federal courts through long delay.

In One Writer'S Opinion, the Country

The funniest things which are writ

not written by irwin Cobb or George

OF the great newspapers.
They are written by the So-calIed

with real sense Of humor who reads
large numbers OF newspapers and
magazines and modern books will dis
puie this assertion.
iiumor is merely the ability to see

lnirth-provoking side of human nature,
which is not the least ample Of Its
sides a humorous paragraph may De
grossly exaggerated in its interpreta-

the bottom Of it or it is a failure.
This explains why humor is so much
