Dry Act Again
Upheld by Court
In Druggan Case

Washington, Oct 19-(AP)-The
constitutionality of the Volstead act
again was upheld and its provisions
discussed in detail today by the Su-
preme Court.
A formal opening in the Druggan
case from Chicago, in which an ap-
peal by the defendant recently was
dismissed, was made the occasion for
the Courts re-definition Of it's sup
port of the validity of the dry law.
The main ground for the Druggan
petition, the opinion said. was that
the enforcement act was unconstitu-
tional because it was enacted before
the 18th amendment became effec-
tive.
ut Is not correct that the amend
ment did not exist until it's prohibit
ton went into effect the court held
THE moment the amendment was
ratified it became effective as a law"
We have no doubt Of the authority
Of Congress to pass the law. Indeed
1t would be going far to say that
while the fate of the amendment was
uncertain, Congress could not have
passed law in aid Of 1t, conditioned
upon the ratification taking place.
"a shorter answer to the whole
matter, Is that the grant Of power
to Congress Is a presentg rant and
that no reason has been suggested
why the constitution may not give
Congress a present power to enact
laws intended to carry out constitu-
tional provisions for the future when
the time comes for them to take eff
feet"

CAuSE.FOR WoMEN'S
Preference TO AUTO
INSTEAD OF HOME

New York, Oct. 19A(AP)-Escape
from the monotony rather than the
drudgery of the housewives lot has
caused her to choose Injuries instead
of conveniences, concludes the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
after a canvass on 'What women
want in their homes"
The average American housewife
prefers an automobile and tele-
phone rather than have modern
plumbing arrangements in her home,
because these offer relief from q
monotony that has driven many OF
her predecessors into insane asylums.
The Federations findings were
written by Mrs. Mary Sherman ma
tional president, in the Womans
Home Companion. y
"The housewife does not mind
washing stacks of dishes under the
glow of an electric globe, but the
task doubles or trebles if she must do
it by the smoky dim light from
kerosene lamp" said Mrs. sherman.
"She does not mind sweeping the
lower floor Of the house II she knows
that at the end Of her task she can
sit down and chat via the telephone
with a neighbor five miles away. and
she will beat rugs for an hour-iI
the evening brings the relaxation OF
an automobile drive"
While IS per cent. Of large num-
Der of homes investigated were found
TO have inside sanitary arrangements
and SO per cent of them had bath
tubs, 10 per cent. of these families
had automobiles and IS per cent. OF
them were equipped with telephones.
The research made by the Fedora
ton covered 445,9S7 homes scattered
through 237 communities. In ~ per
cent. of the homes 1t was found that
there were no stationery washbowls.
and water had to be carried in and
out. and % per cent. of them were
not eve equipped with kitchen sinks.
But 81 per cent. had electric lights,
and 70 per cent. were equipped with
electric irons.
Radios were found in 17.6 per cent.
of the homes, pianos in As per cent
monographs in so per cent.
In discussing the high percentage
Of homes equipped with automobiles
and telephones but not with plumb
ing. Mrs. Sherman declared:
"Sentimentalists will say that the
fault lies with the men. But we
club women who study conditions
from the inside Of the home under
stand the situation better. Women
no longer undervalue their services
in the home They run their homes
on the budget plan and have personal
allowances to spend as they like.
"Then why do they choose luxuries
instead of conveniences? Why does
the automobile take precedence over
the stationery tub, the telephone over
the vacuum cleaner and the radio
over the power-run sewing machine?
Because the housewife for genera
tons has sought escape from the
monotony rather than the drudgery
Of her lot She can and does endure
toll. actual physical labor, patiently
and cheerfully; but she breaks physi-
cally and nervousIy under monotony.
The automobile, the telephone and
the talking machine or radio offer the
modern home maker the escape from
that monotony which drove many Of
her predecessor into insane asyIums."
