Bobby is a foot ball fan. a good
PISTOL shot and trap shooter, and
you should hear him MARBLE Southern
melodies. He takes toast and tee be-
tween rounds now, and always loses
from 10 to Is pounds in every cham

He once shot nine hole in AZ. play
ing with his right hand alone. He's
been admitted to the bar. and that
doesn't mean the 19 hole. The best
shot he ever made was in practice
round before the last United States
open-a niblick shot which cleared
tree 40 feet high and only 20 feet
away, and cufved to land just over a
bunker only 6 feet from the cup! :

COLD VEINS UND{RLAy
 NORTH CAROLINA CITY

CHARLOTTE, N. c. June 13. (H) Age old dreams of gold which in- spired the epic adventures of Sinbad and Marco Polo are neg lected realities in this Scotch Irish city of 8O,000.
 The younger generation has just learned something it's elders had apparently forgotten-that it treads upon streets paved with gold, and beneath the hum of the downtown traffic lies a labyrinth of glitterlng treasure.
 Recent excavations at the site of a new fire station brought to light a tunnel and an abandoned shaft identified by pioneers as an ante-bellum gold mine. Subse- ouent investigation brought the information that parts of the city are honey-combed with similar tunnels which supplied the United States with some of it's first gold ore.

PROHIBITION LAW
TEST BEFORE COURT
Minnesota High Tribunal Holds
Under Amusement Womsn's At
tack on Validity of Statute.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST PAUL, Mimi, May lathe
United States Circuit Court Of Appeals
Yesterday took under advisement the
appeal of Mrs Marie Bevington of Sioux
City, Iowa, in which 1t was contended
that the prohibition law is invalid.
The decision probably will be filed at st.
Louis, headquarters of the eighth cir
cult.
Mrs. Bevington was convicted In
United States District Court at Sioux
City of sale of liquor with previous con-
yiction. Her attorneys based their ap-
peal on the contention that the dry law
was invalidated by the passage Of the
Willis. Campbell act.
They argued that decisions OF the
United States Supreme Court have held
that the penalty provisions of the old
internal revenue law were repealed by
the passage of the Volstead act. BY the
same token, according to their claim,
the penalty provisions of the Volstead
act were repealed when the Willis
Campbell act reinstated the penalty
provisions of the internal revenue act.
Andrew j. Volstead of st. Paul, father
of the dry law. was an interested spec
tator In the courtroom. He told re-
porters 1T is little late in the game
after 10 years-to begin attacking the
dry law"
