While the National League of Women
Voters in session in Chicago decided not
to include prohibition in their study
course, they did on April % adopt a
strong resolution favoring enforcement of
the prohibition law The contention was
that there is not sufficient material to
give adequate information because pro-
hibition had never had adequate enforce
ment.' Following is the resolution adopt
ed
Whereas, The Eighteenth Amend
ment is part of the constitution of the
United States, and whereas there has
been no adequate enforcement Of the
amendment, therefore be it
ReSolUed, That the National League
of Women Voters in convention as
sembled hereby reaffirms it's unwav-
ering conviction that obedience to the
constitution and the written law of
the land is the duty of every man and
woman in the United States; and
Be it ReSolUed That the League
calls upon the President of the Unit
ed States, the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and all state and local officials
to use to the fullest extent the power
conferred upon them for effective en-
forcement of prohibition.
Action on this resolution was presented
by Mrs. Roscoe Anderson Of st. Louis and
was passed unanimously The resolution
was cause for rejoicing by both those
who wanted the organization to study the
Eighteenth Amendment and those who
believed there were insufficient autho"ita-

Forty-fve temporary injunctions we're
issued by the government on May
against places in Chicago where dry
agents said they found liquor. On the
same date four of Chicagos most promi-
nent night life clubs defended themselves
against prohibition charges.
Among those the government seeks to
paddock is the Rainbo Gardens, known as
Mayor Thompson's playground. The
mayor is frequently seen there. Other de-
Tending night clubs are the Midnight
Frolics, Club Ansonia, and Hollywood

BORDER IS WELL PATROLLED
Detroit, National Port for Rum-run-
ners, Presents Great Problem
in Enforcement

The smuggling and distribution of hq-
uor is said by Detroit dispatches to con-
Stitute one of the principal industries or
that city. According to these dispatches,
the city's annual rum turnover is $215,-
100000 This may be an exaggerat1on.
However, it is known that Detroit, because
of her geographic location, is perhaps the
most popular natural port of entry for
bootleggers' liquor from wet Canada.
Neither New York nor Chicago occupies
as strategic place as a distributor or
liquor throughout the middle west.
The national prohibition enforcement
department recognizes this fact and is
concentrating an enlarged force OF GUS
toms officers and enforcement agents
along the Detroit river border. The de-
partment is also paying particular atten-
ton to Cleveland. Besides greatly enlarg-
ing the force of men, many new speed
boats have been put into the service for
use in running down rum boats.

rs different species in the immediate
Vicinity OF the campus. They were cor
daily received by the president and
members Of the faculty of the univer-
sity, who also are sponsoring the study
OF birds among university students.
Other walks this Spring have been made
in Sligo Creek Valley, through the Arl-

marshes adjoining them, and in other
local areas much frequented by the
feathered tribes.
Five bird classes we're conducted in
the Thomson School, under direction
OF Mrs. Vernon Bailey and Miss Emma
Striger, during the Spring. These
classes were well attended by public
school teachers and students in the
graded and normal schools.
During the Summer members of the
local Audubon Society and It's bird
