ed, whose special duty it is to be of
service to them with their many
household problems and to bring to
them the latest scientific and research

portant of on-housekeeping
The new appointee is Miss Mary
Graham. She will be known as the
County Home Demonstration Agent
and will be located in the county ex-
tension office in the Postal Building
in Dover, Delaware. Her work will
supplement and cooperate with that
of Mr.. Russell E. Wilson, County Ag-
ricultural Agent, and Miss Helen l..
Comstock, County Club Agent.
Miss Graham was brought up on a
farm and has had four years of ex-
perience as Home Demonstration
Agent in Maryland. so that she is an
experienced worker and should be of
much help after she gets acquainted
with the new territory and its home
makers. In order that this may be
done more quickly, Miss Graham
would like to have any home-maker
call upon her at her office, either
personally or by telephone, and make
herself and her problems known. Do
not be surprised if Miss Graham
should happen to call on you some
time when she is making her way
about the county After becoming
sufficiently acquainted with the home
makers of the county and their prob
lens, Miss Graham will develop, with
the assistance of these home-makers,
a definite program Of work the bene-
fits of which may be received by any

Edwin C. Totten, Director of Pub
licity of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association, on Wednesday af-
temoon delivered brief talk to a
delegation from the Geography Glass
of the Maryland State Normal School,
covering geological foundation, loca-
ton, early history and resources of
the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. He ex-
planned the purposes for which the
lDel-Mar-Va Association was organ
lied and the work being carried on.
During the past year schools and col
leges in several locations, as far dis
tant as Colorado, have been supplied
| by the Association with literature and
Especially requested information to be
used in various courses. Special at
tentlon and care has been given in
furnishing this material because of
the invaluable means offered not only
to publicize the Peninsula but to in
stall it as a live issue in educational
courses and programs. One of the
leading publishers of text books, who
supplies public schools thruout the
entire nation, made special request
for information and photographs rel
ative to the Peninsula several weeks
ago and gave assurance of their US
age in school books now being prepar-
led. A noticeable feature in connec-
tion with study of the Peninsula's
history and one which Association of
ficials believe to be of decided value,
lis the widespread movement thruout
Peninsula schools during the last year
to emphasize the history of Mar
Va and in many instances to call up
On pupils to prepare essays on the
subject. In these cases, the Associa-
tion has supplied a material number
Of individual pupils with literature
and other information for study in
connection with this particular work.

The eighth annual meeting OF Swedens
Anti-Saloon League was held on an. Is.
The report of activities delivered to the
chosen representatives of the churches
shows that greater work has been car
ried on during 1927 thar under any pre-
vious year OF the Leagues history.
The public meetings conducted by the
League were 1903. The highest num-
Der in any year before was l,434 (l922).
Other years: 802 meetings i'll 1924; US
in 1925 and 1905 in 1926. Ten speakers
have given most of their time to lecture
work.
The cash income during the year was
kronor 74,008:70. Expenses were kron-
er 4,8O1.71. In American money: the in
come was 100000 and the expenses
81 800
At the end of the year the League has
unpaid pledges to about 100000 kronor
(about $10,60000). Even though some al
lowance is made for reduction OF pledges,
non-payments, it IL absolutely safe to set

the resources OF the League at the end of
the year at more than $8,O0000 above
liabilities.
The good financial standing of the
League at the end of 1927 is very prom
Using for the new years work. During
1923 we have campaign year in Sweden.
The entire lower house of the parliament
will be elected during September. The
house has 230 members. The temperance
forces of Sweden are determined to make
the parliamentary elections tell in their
fight for dry Sweden. This fight takes
its start from the beginning Of 1923. The
League appropriated 100000 kronor to
the cooperation with the other temperance
organizations in the Swedish federation.
The executive board of the League for
this year was elected as follows:
Rev K. A. Wik, president; Rev. David
Ostlund, general secretary; DIR. Gust Mo-
SESSION, treasurer; Miss Emile Rathou, N.
P. Ollen, Robert Pohansson-Dahr and

Amendment and the Volstead law They
are as much a part OF the laws of this
state as our own statutes and our own
constitution and he then goes on TO
imply that even in the absence of a state
enforcement act the police agencies OF
the state are available for the enforce
ment of prohibition. His effort is ap
parendy to create the impression that no
state enforcement statute Is necessary be-
cause even in the absence OF such stat
ute the state officials are under obligation
to enforce the Volstead act. This position
is entirely misleading and has no justii-
cation in law. While il is, Of course, true
that the Eighteenth Amendment is part
of the laws OF every state, the Eighteenth
Amendment is not self-eXecuting and re-
quires an enforcement statute to put it
into effect The Nolstead Act is such
statute, but it is not true that the Vol
stead Act is a part OF the laws of the
State OF New York. 1t is a federal stat
ute and can be enforced only in the fed
eral courts. The courts OF New York are
completely without jurisdiction to give
effect to its provisions. They can take
jurisdiction of no Indictment based upon
the provisions of the Nolstead Act. They
can sentence no one to fine or impris-
onment for violation OF its terms. Be-
cause the state courts are thus without
jurisdiction to enforce the Nolstead Act,
the police find themselves paralyzed in
any efforts they may make to enforce
prohibition in the state courts. The sac
red duty" upon state officials, of which
the governor speaks, doubtless exists, but
the means of performing it were taken
away from them when jurisdiction over
prohibition offenses was removed from
the state courts by repeal of the state en-
forcement act. The living organism of
state enforcement has had its head struck
off by closing the state courts to prohibi-
ton cases, and while the duty remains,
the situation is precisely as If we were
to say that policeman is under duty to
protect a bystander from murderous as
sau1t when we have taken away from
him the gun which is his only means of
giving such protection II we take from
the police the legal right to carry and
use a gun, how can we say that they are
under duty to do something which re-
quires the use of a gun? Access to the
state courts is obviously essential to state
enforcement of prohibition, and access to

The aim and ambition of the opponents
of prohibition was, therefore, attained in
1928 when the New York legislature re-
pealed the Mullan-Gage law,-the state
enforcement act-thus declaring that so
far as the laws of the State of New York
are concerned the manufacture, sale and
transportation of Intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposese within that state are
not unlawful that no violators OF the
Eighteenth Amendment within the state
OF New York can be prosecuted in the
state courts. Immediately upon this re-
peal the traffic in Intoxicating liquors
within the state, so far as state law was
concerned, was sanctioned, leaving upon
the insignificant force OF federal Off
Gals within the state the sole response
bility and duty of enforcing prohibition.
The same is true of Maryland, where no
law for the enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment has ever been enacted.
Maryland has consistently refused to CO.
operate with the Federal Government in
the suppression of the liquor traffic. Is
it any wonder that prohibition is not en-
forced in either of these states?
