Pennsylvania ACT
DECLARED ILLEGAL
Supreme Court Rules Retail
Drug Law of State Un-
constitutional.

The retail drug act of Pennsylvania,
forbidding any one but a registered
pharmacist to own drugstore and for
bidding corporations who already operate
retail drugstores in the State from
acquiring additional stores, is not a
proper exercise of the police power and
is unconstitutional as depriving corpora
tions of property without due process
of law and equal protection of the laws
This was the decision of the Supreme
Court today in the case of Louis K.
Liggett Co., against the attorney gen.
eral and the board of pharmacy of
Pennsylvania. Chief Justice Taft de-
livered the opinion, to which Justice
Holmes dissented.
The decision Of the court reversing
the United States District Court was
based on the ground that there is no
reasonable relation between the owner
ship of drug stores and public health
and safety
The State of Pennsylvania passed an
act forbidding any one but licensed
pharmacist to own drug store, or to be
partner or stockholder in any firm
owning a retail drug store, except that
corporations which already owned drug
stores may continue to operate the same,
but may not acquire additional stores.
The Liggett Co. owned % retail drug
stores in Pennsylvania, and at the time
of the passage of the act had made ar
rangements to open additional stores.
1t brought suit in the United States Dis
trict Court in Philadelphia to enjoin the
enforcement of the law, contending that
it is arbitrarily discriminatory and de-
prives the company of property without
due process of law, and was passed SOLE
ly for the purpose of suppressing COM
petition between the individually owned
and the chain drug stores.

PARIS STUDENT LIFE
BECOMES MODERN
Bohemian Atmosphere Out of
Fashion, With Comfort
as Goal.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, November 19.-Bohemian stu
dent life is out of fashion in Paris. SO
are bad beds and cold study rooms as
an aid to concentration.
Modern Partisan educators favor COM
fort and convenience, with adequate
supervision of diet, rest and recreation.
Young woman students, comparative
newcomers in the Partisan student
scheme, are even provided with suitable
chaperonS in some circles.
The latest step toward student pro-
lection is The dedication of a hostel
with accommodations for 100 women in
the far-famed Boulevard st. Michel,
lovingly called the Boul' Mich in other
less supervised student times. The new
hostel is the gift of an American wom-
an, Mrs. Whitney-Hof, philanthropist,
whose gifts to artists and students are
we'll known in Europe.
Students from more than 20 nations
are housed in the new Boulevard St.
Michel retreat twenty-five of the
young women are French, IS are Brit
iSh or American, and the remaining 10
come from various countries. Life in
the hostel is more sheltered even than
Ill IIle H1OUeTn ClJe OTlVerSlCdlre, III
ternational model student center just
outside the Porte d'Orleans.
Despite the desires of French educa-
tors. not all students here have modern
quarters. Some are lodged in houses
hundreds of years old with narrow VIM
doWs which look into streets and court
yards of medieval origin. Such &C
commodations sheltered the self-reliant
students who came to Paris from Genoa,
Warsaw, Vienna and Utrecht in the
middle ages to soak up wisdom from
teaching philosophers like Robert Sor-
bon, from whom the Sorbonne takes
its name.
Many of the modern students have
to obtain water from outdoor pumps,
and bathtubS are unknown luXurieS.
The other extreme of student ex-
istence is the clubs sometimes formed
by wealthy students, usually foreigners,
who take modern furnished apartments
and share expenses of maintaining
them. Most of the clubs are located
in Montparnasse, Latin quarter center
for foreign artists, writers and musi-
clans.

Jade of All Colors.

A great collection of jade was shown
in this country not long ago and many
visitors were surprised to find that
very little of it was green, whereas
many expressed the thought that all
jade exists in every color of the spec
trum-deep red, amethyst, pure white,
amber colored and jet black The most
highly priced is the pure white, a
wonderful semi-trarlslucent, glowing
white The yellow jade is pecu-
liarly the royal color. Most of the red
jade now procurable is red only by
accident. Jade ornaments which have
lain for centuries in tombs as votive
offerings to the spirits of the dead ac-
quire a blood color by slow oxidation.
and these relics of the tomb are almost
priceless in China.

CURTISS FIELD, L. l., Aug. 90
Twenty airplanes were ready today
to start a search for M. M. Merrill,
Curtiss flying service manager, and
Edwin M. Rome, who have been
missing more than thirty-siX hours
since they started from Buffalo,
NY, in Col. Charles A. LindberghS
new CurtisS Falcon plane.
1t was reported here this morn
ing that civilian plane had
crashed near Clarks Ferry, Pa. This
was some miles miles off the course
from Buffalo to New York, but there
was a chance that the Falcon
might have been blown off its regu-
lar route and might have landed
in the mountains.
Merrill and Rome departed from
Buffalo at 4:10 p m. Monday, ex-
pecting to arrive at CurtiSS Field
by p. m. Merrill advised his home
port that he had gasoline supply
for five hours and the Falcon was
known to have a flying speed of
about 125 miles an hour.
Since the take-off from Buffalo
there has been no report of the men.

ton for direction of warfare on the
ground.
Aviation showed them troop
movements in such detail that they
could get the jump on the enemy.
Then someone discovered that
pilots could drop high explosives
overheard and inf1ict great damage.
These conditions brought on
revolutionary changes in the air
services on both sides and there was
mad rush to see which side could
develop the most rapidly. AS
result the air corps, by the end of
the war, was doing as much damage
as the artillery.
In the United States air service
we now have four distinct branches
observation, bombardment, at
tack, pursuit. The observation and
bombardment branches perform the
duties that their names imply. The
attack division has for its work the
notwithstanding, or "straffing," of
ground troops. The pursuit fur
nisheS protection and offensive pa
trolls. This latter branch has the
job of keeping the enemy from
crossing trench lines and protecting
patrols of slower planes sent on
special missions. Pursuit is the
most strenuous branch.
The observation unit regulates
artillery fire and keeps ground
troops posted on enemy movements.
In this division the type of ship is
large, equipped with radio and pho
tographic instruments.

BY CAPT. MALCOLM BUCHANAN

During the late conflict in Europe
the airplane was one of the greatest
contributing factors to allied vic
tory-for the cost based on damage
wrought by the airplane proved far
greater than the damage cost done
by any other machine used. And
in the next great conflict aircraft,
because of it's peace time develop
ment, will be an even greater en-
CINE of destruction.
The first experiments in air fight
ing were pitiful, or one might bet
ter say, pathetic. The old motored
kites" of the English, French and
German armies wabbled through
the air like cripple ducks, their
pilots armed with shotguns, hand
grenades, pistols or rifles, depending
upon the particular arm favored by
the pilot. And when enemy planes
met the pilots usually exchanged
a few shots, grinneo at each other,
and went their various ways I'M
harmed.
But these first feeble and indi-
vidual attempts at combat gave
birth to a great idea. Experiments
were made with planes equipped
with machine guns. The idea
worked.

were first opened when their air

German army.
The train was in a hurry and
would have escaped, but for the
pursuit squadron, which appeared
from behind the woods before the
personnel of the train could take
cover.
The leading pilot gave the signal
and one behind the other the
planes of the squadron dived. Each
plane was carrying light bombs.
The lead pilot laid his bantam
eggs" right on the tongue of the
first wagon. The horses went down
and the rest of the wagons piled up.
The squadron completely wrecked
that train.
In the next war the man behind
the lines will be we'll into the thing
just as much as the man in the
front line trenches-and these at

There will be no war zone as

late reports indicated conditions
