FOR A MUSEUM HERE

DR.. Adams, the next speaker, has
had a great deal of*museum expert
ence in large cities. He has been in
Arizona Is months in the last several
summers and is familiar with the
many wonderful features of the state,
and especially of the north half.
"There are wonderful treasures
here that belong to you" he said, "and
those likely to disappear should be
collected and kept here. Many states
have done what you are doing--letting
their most valuable possessions be
taken away until they are gone. Wy

been denuded of many Of it's museum

over the world.

"The figures given for the United

An upward trend in prohibition en-

of the eighteenth amendment
While ut the same time stating that
she would make no predictions re-
garding details Of the coming enforce
ment of tho amendment. she indicated
that the life of the violators of it will
be harder during the coming year than
ever before. adding: Watch our

She developed the thought that the
work of the advocates of the amend
ment was in no way completed with
its enactment as a part Of the ConSti-
tuition of the United States. but on the
contrary it means more work for them.
She then emphasized the Importance
of upholdng the amendment as a
part of the Constitution, pointing out
that if excuses are found for violating
1t it would tend to lead to excuses
for violating other sections of the
Constitution.
Mrs. Willebrandt paid tribute to the
prohibition commissioner, James NJ.
Doran; Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, Seymour Lowman, in charge
of prohibition enforcement: the as
sistant prohibition commissioner, Alf

During the Summer the pythons

into their characteristic drowsiness
after every meal. But from November
to April they seldom can be made to

three times They undergo sort OF
semi-hibernation in this climate, al
