NINE HUNDRED FOOT ANTENNAE REPAIRED
 BY CABLE MEN HERE

The 900-foot antennae at the U. s. Radio station here, which was damaged by the high gales of sev- eral days ago, has been repaired, lifted to the big 300-foot tower and safely anchored again on the moun- tain side. The cable and radio men under Operator inc harge Harper, worked from o'clock in the morning until darkness in the afternoon for the past two days during severe weather and accom- piished the task. When it must be considered that the men must carry their tools, wire, etc, up the mountain-side over slippery grass, through shrubs and other under growth and work on the anchor end, which is so narrow that three men can scarcely find foothold, some idea of the task is indicated. Three of the boys" met with slight injuries during the work, one slip ping and falling over 50 feet down the mountain side

Winter Fur Fashions
 Include Black Ermine

PARIS, Dec. 3.-It takes more ermines than it used to for an er- mine coat.
 Wraps are longer, on the whole, and sleeves are larger than they used to be. But the chief reason is that some of the most exclusive furriers are dovetailing the skins so that the seams do not show, 9 process which entals much wastage.
 Black ermine is the newest thing in the fur market. Most of it is Japanese ermine dyed a raven black. Much Japanese ermine is used in the natural white, also. Thousands of ermine tails are being used for trimmings on coats and dresses otherwise furless.

 DRY LAW PHASES
Associated Press Photo

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 13.- Two phases of the powers of ths Federal government in prohibition enforcement, affecting seizure of automobiles carrying liquor and the issuance of liquor manufacturing permits, will be passed upon by the Supreme Court.
 The questions will be presented in cases which the court has de- cided to review. One case chal- Iengesl the right to confiscate auto mobiles under the internal reve- nue law instead of the prohibition laws. The other involves the right to set definite dates for termina- tion of manufacturing permits and thus require firms to renew their permits.
 The automobile case was brought by the Richbourg Motor Company of North Carolina. The case has aroused widespg 1ad interest in the automobile industry, especially in connection with the sale of cars on timc-payment plans.
 If an automobile is seized under the prohibition laws the manufac- turer or agent holding lien on il would be able to protect his inter est, as he later could obtain th' car if title to the machine was es' tablished. On the other hand should the car be seized under th' internal revenue law, the govern ment could not be compelled to giv' it up.
 In t..e case involving the settinl of definite expiration dates on per mits, the government lost in tn lower federal courts in New Yorl
