they are needed as places where boys

Let the boys and girls sing their
hymns on Sunday nights and come
to church for their lovemaking and
other social recreation on the six

DR.. Stone admitted that he wasn't

Governor Smiths Statement
Recalls Old Democratic
Battle Cry
BY THOMAS l.. STOKES

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Two old
political bones of contention have

battle grows warm as the contend

approving the law repeating the
state prohibition enforcement act.

other things, are rallying to his flag.
The discussion of the days of the
elder statesmen will attract atten

the country store and about the city

Il am not here discussing the wis
dom or unwisdom of prohibition, :"
Smith said. The question is whether
all vestige of the rights of the states
guaranteed by the federal constitu-
ton is to be driven from our politi-
cal theory of government"
But President Harding, Insisting
that the federal law must be obeyed
in the states, prepares to uphold his
position by sending extra prohibition
agents into New York to offset the
repeal Of the state enforcement act
The drys, and all the forces of gov

ENTANGLING ALLIANCES

The republican national committee

the committee and the pro-league

FLAGS REMOVED
Treasury Department Removes EN-

WASHINGTON. June g. A debate
over the manner in which the Amer
lean flag has been displayed on pub
lie buildings here for the Shriners'
convention was settled today as far
as the treasury department was con-
cerned, with an announcement that
all flags placed on the treasury
building be removed and would not
be replaced during the convention.
Various patriotic socities had pro-
tested that in many instances the
flag was festooned and draped in a
manner proper only when it is used
to cover the bodies of soldiers,
while in others it had been dis
played in position secondary to
Shrine emblems. Treasury officials
said the arrangement used on the
treasury building had the approval
Of the war department authorities,

had been raised the building would
go undecorated.

LONDON. June 2.-tBy Associated

great American experiment.
Lady Aston practices what she
breaches; hers is the only house
where popular political receptions are
held without alcoholic refreshments.
Coffee, lemonade and barly water
are the drinks offered guests who
assemble at the st. James square
house-yet the social and political
lights do not stay away.
Addressing the American students
at Oxford, Lady Aston said she
seemed destined to be one of those
