Railroads Proposed Advance

Illinois Mines

Washington, Jan. 2.--lncreases in

V0LSTEAD ACT
Asks Legislature to Tell New
York Congressman to
Take Action
CALLS LAW 'SENSELESS'
Says Modification Can Come
Only Through Action of
The National Congress
CALLS LAW 'SENSELESS'

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 2.-Further ef-
forts for modification Of the Vol.
stead act were suggested in Cover
nor Smiths message to the New
York legislature today. He urged
that New York representatives be
asked to lay before the present Con-
grcss memorial to Congress adopt
ed by the last legislature.
"The last session of the legisla-
ture," said the message, memorial
lied Congress by resolution to
change the present narrow, senscless
definition Of what constitutes an in
toxicating beverage as set forth in
the Volstead act to the end that
there may be permitted the manufac-
turc and sale of light wines and beer
under the careful restrictions set
forth in our Legislative enactment Of
1920 (This enactment was law
legalizing the manufacture and sale
of 2.75 percent beer which was de-
clared constitutional by state courts.)
subsequently the legislature
further defined the policy of, the
state in relation to the subject by
| the repeal Of the state law which in
effect left enforcement of the Vol
stead act with both state and feder-
al governments and left the prosecu-
tion for violation of the Volstead
act entirely with the federal gov
Crnmcnt. 1t must be remembered.
however. that this did not and can
not and will not bring about a
| change IN the present definition of
what constitutes an intoxicant. An
amendment to the Volstead act is
only possible by the Congress of the
United States.
Inasmuch as we have new Con-
gress now in session l suggest that
by resolution properly adopted you
call the attention OF our representa-
tivcs from this state to the action
of last winter and request them to
lay It before the present Congress"

BY NEA Service.
San Francisco, Jan. 2 2.-Cattle are
traded Chattels are sold.
But cold words Of the law are not
sufficient to contract sole right to
a baby's smile.
This from bitter experience Mrs.
Maher here has just learned.
Regretfuily she heeded her brain
and not her heart when she let Mike
slip from her arms at birth into the
yearn;ng embrace Of childless Mrs.
j ohm Fleming "for price.
Even before the angels brough,
him, Mike with his dimples and pink
little toes had been decided to the
other woman by the mother. who,
with three other babies to care for,
feared there would not be enough
left to care for Mike out of his
daddy's $68 monthly salary.
Advertised Baby for Sale.
And so it happened in this strang-
est of birth contract cases, that Mike
! became the prenatal bargain" ad-
vertised for sale by Mrs. Maher, who
now says she was distracted and un-
/ aware of what she was doing when
| telling the world of her Willingness
| to barter unborn Mike away.
The bargain" went through as
agreed, with Mrs. Fleming taking to
bed following Mikes arrival to sim
! ulate visit of the stork to her home.
In another part of the city, Mrs {.
Maher. the real mother, lay with
aching heart and awakened con-
science and with her arms empty
arms that were beginning to feel the
urge for Mikes departed caress.
In >beclouding mercy she had con-
sented to the better cared for and
spared possible privation consequent
upon a fourth mouth to feed from
the fathers meager salary as an
army bandmaster at the Preside.
But all this solemn calculation dis
persed like chaff when the surge o1
mother love mounted to claim its
own.
For, like Rachael Of old, the heart
of Mrs Maher sobbing for her baby
would not be comforted.'
To court then she came. Ant
likewise did Mrs. Fleming.
