T0>ENFORCE.
DRY LAW
BY ROBERT S. THORNBURGH,
international News Service Staff
CorreSnondant


international News Service Staff
Correspondent
A more satisfactory degree of
cooperation by state and munic.
ipal governments in enforcement
Of the prohibition law was indi-
Gated today by reports to the
Treasury Department from dry
administrators.
In more than SO per cent of
the states the cooperation with
the Federal Government was
characterized as excellent and in
all but a half dozen states there
was some degree of effort put
forth by the local governments to
assist in enforcement of the law.
Aid Denied
In three important States, New
York. Maryland and Wisconsin,
there are no State prohibition
laws and virtually all enforce
ment rests on the activities of the
Federal Government. There is
SOAAO NO-OPCA dOAO11, 1AOWCFCA, AL
northern New York, where county
prosecutors have charged prohibi.
zion violators with maintaining
DuiSanceS.
The Federal authorities have a
considerable number of agents
concentrated in these States, but
owing to adverse public opinion
and the impoSsibility of providing
an adequate force to do actual
policing, serious difficulties have
been encountered in meeting the
organized activities of the Rum
Trust.
Officials admitted that in a
considerable number of States
where there are State laws mod
eled after the Volstead act, or
even more severe in penalties and
extensive in scope, real co-opera-
tion was lacking.
Force Inadequate
"It is utterly impossible for the
Federal Government to police the
United States and handle all vio-
1ationS with 5000 men," one Of
9icial said.
That force could not even
meet the situation in New York
City alone. It would require a
force of prohibition agents more
than equal to all the State and
municipal policemen, sheriffs,
deputy sheriffs, constables and
other peace officers in the
United States to really enforce
prohibition clear down to the
email violator.
IF such force were provided.
and it would take many millions
Of dollars annually, there neces-
Sarily would have to be a ire
mendous expansion of the Fed
Rral judiciary machinery to take
care of all the cases that would
be made"
Courts Behind
With the present Federal force,
which is attempting to concen-
trate on large conspiracies to
manufacture, transport and sell
aiquor in wholesale lots, so many
cases have been made in the last
few years the courts are more
than 18 months behind.
An effort to clear up this con-
geStion has been ordered by At
torney General Mitchell. It was
considered likely that in many of
the old cases in which witnesses
have scattered and in which
there is little probability of con-
viction, nolle PROSE- orders will
be authorized by the Justice De-
partment.

Once the world vacilated between
that new mechanical contraption,
the horscless carriage, and reliable
old Dobbin wEo was slow and sure.
but the wind of recklcssncss that
has swept our generation gave Il
first gentle puff ahd made the gay
blades of the nintics decide to take
a chance, especially when one took
it in chic goggles and linen duster.
So automobiles and the parage prob
lem came to stay.
At first, any kind of out building
was thought satisfactory for hous-
ing the automobile. but later it be-
came the custom to build lie garage
when the house was built. Only re-
Gently. though, have we utilized it
as Il unit of the house itself. For
some time the garage has been
painted the same color as the house
\ closer architectural tie-up than
mere color is to be found in the gar
age which forms wing f the house
Sometimes garage doors are made
the decorative feature Of the front
of house. Their unbrokcn space
offers an opportunity for a large
stencil border or center pattern One
attractive mousse of beige stucco has
the garage built under one wing,
with the doors painted brown to
match the trim and stcncilcd motifs
in orange, yellow, bluc, and beige
in the center
Garages detached from the house
are frequently story and half.

the half story can be made into a
satisfactory plaYroom, study or stu
do. Brin2in" the garage into clos
err relationship with the house neccS-
sitates keeping the interior free
from oil, scattered tools, and soiled
rags. Painting the interior walls
and floors not only makes them
more durable but introduces a spirit
of ordcrliness. When the garage has
insufficient natural light, painting
the walls sunny yellow will provide
an excellent substitute.
Painted floors will keen the in
cvitable oil stains from soaking in
and discoloring the surface.

MCDERNIZINC OF

There IRE thousands Of old homes
in the United States that can be inn

which means improvement in the
community and service to the home

shortage in many sections and it is
largely through undermining that
this problem is to be met.
'For Immediate relief would sug-

cities have lot Of old buildings on
which their owners could realize Il

We need more new dwellings in

NATIVE DESERT
PLANTS MAY BE
USED in GARDEN
BY MARGARET WHEATIY

Why not have II strictly native
desert plant garden! Set out hedge
of desert holly with its glaucous
grey leaves, Il few tall graceful
ocatilla, some palo verde for shade,
and around these have the ground
tagpctcd with the wi d verbena,
whose bright lavender flowers will
contrast well with the yellow blooms
of the palo verde.
There are many other wild flow
,rs and shrubs which grow on the
desert that arc surely beautiful
enough to grace any flower garden
The indigo bush is most showy
flant. with its slim grey leaves. and
! lac flowers. Wild larkSpur harmon
izcs beautifully with it.
On account of malicious picking
of the desert plants, it has been
necessary for the county to pass Il
law to protect them. However, cacti
aud shrubs may generally be oh
tanned from plant nurseries, of which
there are several in California. The
wild flowers may be propagatcd

Those who own their own homes,
and have suitable place in which
20 grow these native desert plants,
Lay obtain Il permit from the board
Of supervisors to transplant from
ne desert such specimens as they
desire to pcrpctuate. If YOU know
