Bright Centers Of Night Lie
 Mustn't Allow Drinking

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-tPl-Prohibi- ton officers had q supreme court shiuelaeh today to brandish over cabaret and restaurant owners who might be inclined to permit hip flask drinking in their places.
 The supreme court action was a rofusal 10 review proceedings under which the Frrars Inn and Moulin Rouge. two bright cent"rs of Chicago night life, were padlockei last year.
 The petitioners, seeking writ Of cortiorari on an appeal from the circuit court of appeals, argued that the "kecmnE" Of liquor by patrons in q hip flask for personal oonsump- ton is not a keeping" by the owner ot q cabaret within the meaning of the law.
 E. c. Ycllow1ey, who administers prohibition enforcomont for the fed craI government in this area, found satisfaction in the ruling but plan ned no drastic use Of it immediately. He said. however, that the efficiency of his forces would be materially in creased by the new weapon which provided in effect that places where patrons drink hip liquor' may be padlOCked.

LONDON AFLUTTER
 OVER KING KHAN
Potentate From AfshaniStan
 Comes to Visit West

London, Oct. IS UP>-British officials charged with the delicate task Of entertaining foreign poten- tates are all aflutter over the forth coming state visit to London Of King Amanullah Khan, Amir of Arghan- istan.
 This rulers visit Is fraught with both political and social problems, and every precaution is being taken to make the Amir's stay pleasant one.
 The only other royal parsonage from that wild mountainous country in Central Asia who ever saw the sights of London was Prince Naz- rullah, brother of the ruler at that time. He came to London 35 years ago and those IondonerS who re- member the occasion still talk about it.
 Prince Nazrullah mixed the odd customs of Oriental courts with the amenities Of western civilization and he led the young bloods Of London a merry chase.
 He and his colorful entourage lived at Dorchester House, one Of the most palatial mansions in Lon don. There the Afghans killed their sheep, roasted their oxen and pre- pared great Oriental teasts that made the whole fashionable Park Lane district reek with the punEent odors of Afghan cookery. When the visit ended Dorchester House was sorry sight. l. was put in order again and later became ia nous as the United States embassy, when the late Whitelaw Reid was amba assador to the court Of St. James.
 Prince Nazrullah had gay time in London and then went back to the snow of Kabul and became vio- lently anti-British.
 The visit of the present Amir cX- pocted in December, will be of a different character, however, and it is hoped that it will have differ ent result.
 Amanullah will he tho guest of King George and Queen Mary at Buckingham Palace for three days and as the main purpose of his European tour is to observe western civilization an effort will be made 10 show him Great Britain at its best.
 The king is 3G years old, Of clean cut appearance and serious minded. He wears his fez at a jaunty angle and his mustache is as aggressive as that of AIustapha kemal.
 Although Afghanistan is one Of the most isolated nations in the world, 1t has great political import ance to Great Britain as a buffer state between the Indian empire and Soviet Russia. Afghanistan is also rich in undeveloped natural re- sources and half a dozen nations are engaged in a scramble for tho chance to develop them. This latter factor adds considerable interest tc Amanullah's European visit. After the Amir leaves London he will gC 10 Angora, Turkey, to visit Mustapha kemal.
