Misrepresentation, constituting as n

Admitting, of course, that there
are violations of the Volstead Act -
unfortunately by some who hold
themselves above the law-the fact
cannot and will not be conscientious

There Is no longer any contro-
versy as to the open saloon. The
gilded bar room is gone. and with

knowledged evils.
The fact that less than three
years enforcement has succeeded in
forever abolishing the open saloon
and other public drinking places is
sufficient reason to be of good cheer.
But e are many other reasons.
namely:
Awakening on the part of high

In addition, the available SUNNY
of bonded liquor for beverage rnr.
poses Is materially less than form
erly, by reason of safeguarding the
distilleries and warehouses against
theft and illegal Withdrawals. There
is no question but that vigorous
methods against smuggling have
greatly reduced that source of SUM-
ply. New formulate to prevent re-
distillation of denatured and rub
ping compounds has cut off another

Is taking final gasps, while the
poisonous character of m%oonshine,
together with steps to suppress it, is
fast solving the problem Of Illicit dis
filling.
Furthermore. the fact is self
evident that real liquor is almost
impossible to obtain at any price.

LIABILITY Of FATHER
MADE Jury MATTER
Judge Holds People Sup.
porting Children May Have
Claim to Credit.

4 woman leaving her husband with
out just cause may not purchase even
necessities on his credit, but when
she takes with her children OF tender
age il Is question for the jury
wkIther those furnishing necessities
- the children did SO on the credit Of
the father.
This. in effect. Is the ruling Of the
District Court OF Appeals. in an
opinion by Chief Justice Smyth set
ting aside a summary Judgment for
si.12o In favor OF Ella and Alice
Downs against George A. Maschauer.
The Misses Downs took care Of
Maschauer's wife and three small
children after the wife and husband
had separated. The appellate court
held the case should have been sub
mitted TO d jury.
Case for Jsry.
IF the father voluntarily and
knowingly suffered the children 70
live apart from him." says the chief
justice. "and made no provision for
their support. the jury might frfer.
in the absence of proof TO he con-
trary. that the defendant made Eer
his agent TO contract for neCeSsarteS
ard was liable to third persons who
supplied such necessarieS in good
, 1altn MS cEeNlt. W 90 not LQlIi IA
in this case, that the conduct Of the
mother. IL improper. should be charged
to the children. If the father. know
ing they were destitute, refused TO
support them. and the plaintiffs sup
piled them with necessaries on his
credit, ne is liable"
In cases where children are of
raturer age and leave home volun-
tarily to see the world or to escape
necessary discipline, the court points
out. merchants and others extend
credit at their own risk. AS to the
wife who leaves her husband or lives
separated from him because OF her
own misconduct, the court suggests:
where the wife deserts the susband
the burden Is upon those who seek
TO recover for necessaries furnished
to her to ailcge and prove that either
she lived apart from him by mutual
consent or that the separation was
occasioned by the fault or misconduct
OF the husband.
Tho husband who Is able and will
ing TO support his wife and gives her
no Just cause to abandon him or
leave his bed and board cannot be
compelled to support her elsewhere
than at his own house. II he has one.
His liability for necessaries provided
by other persons for her support
rests entirely upon the ground Of his
neglect or default. Where q person
is justified In supplying the Wife
with assistance the credit must be
extended to thu husband. not to tn"
wife and the burden OF showing that
It was extended to him rests upon
the party furnishing the neces-
saries."

This road was built as the result

Great Britain and Germany in 1898.
