lows the funniest guy in the world
1.-THE other man asked him if he
thought he was funnier than Chaplin.
Hes got Chaplin skinned seven
different ways he replied.
"In another theatre the main title
of release is flashed on the screen.

before the opening scene is disclosed
there is round OF applause. The
only time Ihave witnessed such All
showing of "The Three Musketeers'
when Douglas Fairbanks was there

Mr. Dean goes even further than
that, telling of the opinions of ten
people in different walks of life. Two

declared that she liked Chaplin bet

she didn't like him as we'll as Lloyd"
1t is a question bound to provoke
interest. Anyway, Harold Lloyd will
be seen all next week at the Muir

people can Judge for themselves.
WASHINGTON
A spirit of adventure in dress is
the thing that holds the fashion SUI
premacy of Paris. American women
still lack that disregard of current
vogues that has made the French
women an irresistible pioneer along
hitherto untraveled paths of feminine
costuming.
Such are impressions gained by
Gloria Swanson, Paramount star. fol
lowing a recent trip to Europe. Called
"the best dressed woman in America,
Miss Swanson's comments add con-
siderable to the long-standing discus
sion as to the pros and cons of the
unbroken French control of feminine
dress.
American women have a fine sense
of individuality, of adaptation. They
will take a fashion, change and alter

around the United States it is some

decidedly more striking than the orig

This is in a sense was true, for the
world war closed in upon us and the
government was occupied with more
colossal tasks.
But TO- the Virgin Islanders are
rather inclined to complain that we
did not forget them so far as the
Volstead act was concerned. They
say our remembrance was rather tar
dy at that. for congress did not in

Croix within the purview of the ma

Of last year Another three months
elapsed before anyone in the Virgin
islands knew shat the law had been

of the navy, wisely contended that rea-
sonable notice should be given the is
landers. and so the Volstead dryness
did not become effective until May 1.
Th act. it is said, has hit the is
lands rather hard. not because of any
particular wet habits of the natives.
but because the making of a high
grade of rum was one of the chief in

too productive at best. AS at first in

also have stopped the manufacture of

Admiral Kittelle whose term as gov
ennor ended several weeks ago, has
been in Washington the past few
days making a report of his steward

the present time. A drought has
rather seriously nterfered with the
sugar crop the past year and the
United States will have to continue to
appropriate something over 100000 a
year for the government expenses over

CHANCE TO BEAT DRY
Amendment IN OHIO
CITIZENS TO DECIDE
State VIII Vote on Whether or Not 1t Should
Recognize Drinks Containing Less Than ITS
Per Cent Alcohol as Misunderstanding; Anti
Saloon League Fights Losing Battle in Court.

ton for the proposed amendment was
presented to him, taking the position
that such a referendum would be ille-
gal because it conflicted with federal
law. In ruling the amendment out,
Secretary Smith pulled the props from
under a writ of prohibition which the
Anti-Saloon league was preparing to
seek in the courts to prevent him from
placing the amendment on the ballot.
The wet forces, led by Frederick
w. Marcolin of Cleveland, who headed
the petition for a referendum, imme-
diately applied to the state supreme
court, sitting at Columbus, for a
writ of mandmus to require the secre-
tary of state to order the referendum.
This application was bitterly fought by
the Anti-SaloOn league, whose leaders,
including State superintendent James
A. White. were permitted to appear
as friends of the court to argue
against it. In it's decision, which was
handed down by a vote of five to two,
the court held that the secretary of
state had no power to withhold a pro-
posed constitutional amendment from
the suffrage of the people when a pc
tition in proper form and with the re-
quired number of signatures was filed
with him. The court took the view
that it was not within the province
of the secretary of state to pass upon
the constitutionality of the proposed
amendment o upon a possible con-
fIict with the federal constitution or
federal statutes.
Drys Fight Hard
George 8. Hawkes. of Cincinnati, a
dry leader, acting in behalf of the
Anti Saloon league, appealed TO the
state supreme court, but met with no
better success there, the higher court
upholding the lower, which had ruled
that for an inferior court to issue an
order contrary to one made by a su-
perior court would be bad law and
breed disrespect for law enforcement.
Under the Ohio law. when a pro-
posed constitutional amendment is re
ferred to the electors, the secretary
of state shall see to it that the voters
are informed for arguments OF each
side of the question. Consequently,
Secretary Smith is appointing commit
tees of vets and drys to prepare the
arguments and will send them broad
cast to the voters in pamphlet form.
While the Anti Saloon league de
clared a long time referendum was a
serious assault upon national prohibi-
ton and at another time it could be
nothing more than a straw vote
inasmuch as the proposed modifica
ton in any event would be Intellectual,
wet leaders declare that the amend
ment, if carried, will have much more
than a moral effect because it will

A wayfarer just back from Texas a
day or two ago reported Colonel Bill
Sterritt. distinguished journalist and
fish and game warden, as polishing up
his fur coat for the coming winter,
which. it was predicted in the Lone
Star state, was going to be a hard
one. The ducks are flying south in
droves this early in the autumn.
That fur coat of the c%olonefs some
day is going to take its place IN his
tory. 1t is true he has only had it
two years, but it's fame has travelled
far already. He came by it, IN a
manner of speaking, through meeting
an oil millionaire friend one day in the
fall two years ago on lower broadway
in New York. The Millionaire who
owns a flock of wells with oil pouring
from them in black streams as thick
as a mans body. insisted that the
colonel did not look as spick and span
as he ought to, and the two went shop
ping together.
The fur coat was the oil mans own
idea. A magnificent garment it was,
too, the fur being all OF the outside
and gray and long and glossy. 1t COW
cred the colonel like a mantle and
reached clear down to his feet. Having
got the coat, Bill was confronted by
the task of getting it to Texas. The
writer encountered him with it still on
his hands and soul in Indianapolis one
night when Governor Cox was speak
ing in the presidential campaign. The
evening was. late in October and a
chill was in the air. The colonel put
on his hairy coat and we started for
the meeting.
Going TO the speakin's. Bill" Jim
Faulkner inquired as we passed out Of
the hotel.

TRIALS OF INTENTIONALLY

Court circles, | gather, are rather
exercised about the precise position of
Lord Lascelles in the royal family. At
the last court. for instance. there was
rather an embarrassing cOntretemps.
Whet d%ebutantes have curtseyed TO
the king and queen, the rest of the
royal party bow to them one after the
other. and they bow in return. On this
particular occasion there had already
been several such o~beisances, and at
the end, Lord Lascelles, very naturally.
as q member of the royal party, also
made his bow. The presented ones
started to follow suit-and then rather
suddenly checked themselves. 1t was
an awkward moment.-The Passing

Washington, Sept. 30.-Tom Wat
son. whose brilliant and eccentric ca
reer ended so, suddenly a few days
ago. wrote 'sThe Story of France,
an historic work so highly regarded
that it was translated from English
into French and used in the schools
of France. 1t was an honor not
shared by many American authors.
And yet. Tom Watson had never
been to France. He loved that coun-
try as few aliens have loved another
land. and still he did not care to visit
it. He loved France in the abstract,
loved her for what she had been. loved
her traditions and her literature.
His life OF Napoleon" was another
historical and literary masterpiece and
has been regarded by many Napol-
comic students o. one of the truest
and most enthralling pictures of the
emperor.
For years Tom Watson pored over
were extraordinary. And then he was
inspired TO write his "story"-not
claiming for it a text book of value
and being genuinely surprised when
it was so taken up.
Senator Watson's experience sug-
costs a new phase of histories of the
world wal written at this time or by
this generation. 1t is possible at this
time to write a narrative of certain
phases of the war. but the Judgment
and the perspective of true history is
not yet here. There were nor who
knew so little Of the war as the men
who fought in the front line trenches.
As n moved back from the front
the picture became clearer and clear
err so much SO in fact that men writ
ing of the war from London and New
York were regarded by the public as
more authoritative than commentators
actually accredited to the forces in
the field.
The war has involved so many ma
tons and so any peoples it is diff
cult to forecast who may arise to sift
the evidence and write the STORY" as
Watson wrote the story of France.
