-------=-------------- AXIS CLUB TO HAVE HOUSE WARMING

The formal opening of the Axis tion in social arrivals. While the club has been open for the past few weeks, delay has been made in it's house warming until all the curtains were up, the silver made bright and shining, and everything as spiek and span as regular club home should be.
 The official opening Is to be Mon day. December 1S
 The club counts so big in local wcmen's affairs that what it does is always of unusual interest.
 It really is creating different sorts of programs from the usual one of the quaintest of which was melee of poetry read by Mrs. Ralph Barrow at the last meeting of the literary department. She gave number of selections, among them being sev- eral of Frost's. Once or twice, the tears forced themselves to the eyes of Mrs. Barrow's listeners. It is a quick method-this of having modern poetry readings through the Axis literary department---of introducing the members to beautiful modern literary creations, and as time goes on. the problem confronting Mrs. Barrow will be how to have the club provide enough chairs for all who wish to come. These readings are entirely free, and are held every two weeks.

lem while the returns from the illicit traffic in liquor continued so large
 Prohibition officials are doing the best they can in checking the liquor traffic, according to views held by the treasury head. He was said to have declined to express an opinion as to whether liberalization of the Vol steda law would reduce the amount of "bootlee" whisky brought into the country.
 The treasury secretary was under stood to believe that it would take much more money and a far greater staff of enforcement officers to throt- tie the importatlons and fraudulent withdrawals from bonded ware houses, as well as to defeat the sale of the liquor by dealers.
 White House statements of last Friday. according to treasury off cials, represented only the gist of dis cussions at the cabinet. meeting. No methods for reaching the liquor traffic by expanded facilities were said to have been broached then, nor since. and it was assumed that the treasury would not ask Congress for greater sum for enforcement than was accorded in the current year. Treasury officials declined to say to- day whether the reported amount-- approximately nine million dollars would provide money with which they could expand enforcement operations.
 Secretary Mellon was said to re- gard the present corps of enforce ment officers as more efficient than ever before, with the weedng out process being responsible for the elimination of many who were said not to be fitted for the work.
