additional enforcement burdens, the idea being that enforcement will be better all around when it's responsi- bility rests heaviest on the smallest group.
 Would Arouse People
 The spirit of the people for en- forcement can better be aroused, they say, when pressure for 1t comes from nearby rather than from far off Washington. ..
 This is the old idea first expressed by Wickersham in a letter to Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York last fall.
 There are many here who believe Wickersham's views may prevail in They believe this is the one foremost possibility which may grow out of the present agitation, despite the fact that some drys fear it will lead to the eventual withdrawal of federal enforcement.
 The chief difficulty with the pro- posal is found in wet states like New York and Maryland which have no state enforcement act. This difficulty was stressed when Wickersham' 5 views were howled down by drys at the time they were submitted.

Rockefeller's money has built q magnificent new school house just outside of town, to replace the one that is to be destroyed.
 When Williamsburg was made the capital of Virginia in 1899, after the burning of Jamestown, Governor Francis Nicholson decij- ed he must have a suitable palace. Work on the building was started in 1705. and he palace was ready for occupancy in l712. It stood in the middle of a spacious tract of land, surrounded by elaborate gardens, a lake and a deer park. Govern Alexander Spotswood was the first Of the royal governors to occupy it.
 In this palace the colonial gov. ernors held their court, on a more dazzling scale than anything else in British North America. Tha ralace became the social center of America. Brilliant balls were heli in it, attended by everyone in th" English colonies who really maj tered
 The gay times lasted until 1175. Then the colonial temper became So inflamed that Lord Dunmore, the governor, had the supply Of powder transferred to a warship ill the river, and the palace was transformed into a fort lest the cclonists attack it. In 17S1, fol- lowing the American victory at | Yorktown, it was accidentally burned when American troops were quartered in 1t, and only its foundations remained. Two ad- jcining buildings were spared, bu, in the Civil War they were wrecked to provide bricks for the construction of Fort Magruder.
 But the whole thing is to bG restored just as it used to be. The architects plans for the palace have been found in q. British mn scum. The old park will come into being again just where it was before, and it will be stocked with deer just as it used to be. The old gardens will be laid out on their old line5 just as they were when beUigged and beruffled dan. dies stepped down their Erayeied walks with the colonial bellies or their arms.

over. The skeptical yestrymen are all buried ill it's shade.
 After restoring the old church and getting the financial support of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Dr. Goodwin bought the dilapidatel homo of George Wythe, first pro- lessor of law in America, adjoinl- ing the church property. Turning this into a parish house and office, he set 10 work to restore it to it's original condition, It, like the church, was d historic place. It vas Washingtons headquarters during the Yorktown campaign. Among the young men who stud- jed law under it's original occu- pant were Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and Henry Clay. Now it is the headquarters from which Dr. Goodwin directs tho restoration Of all of Williamsburg to it's colonial condition.
 Probably the biggest task oc the whole job will be the recoG- struction of the royal governor s palace and the redeyelopmcnt Of it's gardens.

 Before the job can even te started it will be necessary to tear down q S500,0o0 school building, remove 8 dozen houses wreck q power plant and laundry and move the Chesapeake & Ohio rail- road tracks a quarter of mile away. This job ill itself will cost several millions; in addition
