COURT ASKED TO. PASS ON
 STATUS OF BOOZE BUYER

WASHINGTON.-A liquor purchasing public shortly may learn what measure of guilt, as we'll as cTacked ice and giner ale, goes into a highball.
 Before the United States. Supreme Court, n petition, for review, is, tue case of the United States of America vs. Alfred k. Norris, one of the, most noted of many recent court actions seeking to fix the gullt of buyer of liquor.
 If the court hearswthe case, it will have for decision the question, os whether a person who orders liquor, when transportation. is necessary to make delivery, is guilty of conspiracy against the. government.
 Up to. this time a purchaser of lSuor has. been guilty of no. federal crime. but. thers are various. state laws against possession. Likewise. there is moYement to. write into federal law 3 provision to. make the buyer guilty wth the seller.
 There is this about the Norris case, however: it seeks to fix the guilt only of an individual whQ orders liquor apd thus, in effect ,srranges for its transportation. The person who buys from a bootleggsc,. who. unsolicited, brings his wares to. the home, is not involved.
 Norris, New York broker, ordered liquor, over period of months, from Joel D. Kerper. in Philadelphia. Each was indicted. in. Pennsylvania on a charge of conspiracy Kepner plead ed guilty and. is in. Atlanta. Norris won in the lower courts, and the gov- ernment appealed.
 The record specifically points. out that "said rye whiskey was purchased by defendant, Alfred Ed Norris, for his own consumption or that of his gYests;' and he was in no sense a leRler of liquor"
 While the Norris-Kerper transac- tiens were between two cities, it is pointed out that phone call to a bootleger- in the same city as the prospective purihaser would result in trensporta4ion.,
 Thus at: stxke is the broad issue of

 Whereas, The benefits, that would follow. the construction of an auto- mobile road connecting the. city of Seattle, in the State of Washington, with the interior reaches of. this vast Territory cannot be envisioned at the present time; and

 Jonas never fathom"d why a woman who would wca sweater 10 'auco- vile show had to go half naked to an opera. He couldn't t"Il whether h. family WIS dressed for all opera or au operation.
 And for that people paid out mi lions, fed up d lot of foreigners, fa>cd and cnthuscd and hca>cd, put on thou. sands of bonds worth of jewels and rurs and GoWus-and then financed a deficit each year 90 the prcno-tcroVs institution could contnuc-contmuc to keep a lot of bauana-pcddlcr4 rich and important and q lot of Ia"-ab.djug American businessmen broke, There should be a law

 Not opcra-I have seats Gor-for a revue"
 For a--a which? Have you lost your mind?n
 "N-No. But lost couple of hun dred thousand when the bears bit me 80 l decided not to take a box this year"
 Had he announced ne had decided to cut his daughters ears off he couldn't have habbcrsasted his wife any more completely.
 "You--you--you cancelled my box?" she shriIled. "You-"
 It's too late now" he weakened. At the time"
 Mrs. Stefenson sank into her chair. Lydia stood by, fighting to look dig nified. Corinne, whose face never had any expression, was so excited that her face had less than ever, Felice, true to type, was making up her face and setting her permanent-to do something, anything.
 "Th-this is the end" said Mrs Stefenson, brokenly, T can never show my face aga!l--I am disgraced we're ruined--the work of years"
 Lets go to the revue," chirped Felice.
 Be still" commanded her mother. "This is no time for testing. We can not remain here during the opera sea son and not attend--we must cover up this scandal-what shall we do? An 1 have it"
 Jonas trembled and wnced H.. knew his wife when she had it.
 "les,' she added, now almost calm, i've shall go abroad"
 Stefenson felt the blood leaving his cheeks.
 "rhat's it, we shall go abroad Paris. the Riviera, Monte Carlo, the Lido -- | shall book passage in the morning"
 Good glory, Jane," wept Stcfcnson. Do you know what that'I cost"
 "Plcnty,' she assured him. And we shall go to Naples, of all pIaccs-they have opera there. We won't be gone more than three months in all-oh, possibly four"
 How about the rcvuc?" asked Fclice.
 You may go if you wish. l must start getting ready al once take the girls to the revue, Jonas"
 Wait a minute, Janc-l-I might be able to pick up box-l'll advertise -l'll-"
 We go abroad" ruled Mrs. Stefen- son.
 The Stefensons sailed in the royal suite, with maids, chauffeur, a car. In Paris Mrs. Stefenson did a little shopping. She charged it. By cable she bought box for the season in Naples and she took villa outside the town for the Winter. At Monte Carlo and Biarritz she lost more than the whole opera company did at home.
 The newspapers reported the Stefen- sons crashing the high spots on the other side Mrs Stpfenson had char tered yacht on the Mediterranean, Jonas had to take three bromides to sleep the night he got that piece of nifty news.
 He met them at the dock. The duty on the plunder they brought back nearly chokcd him. But that wasn't all--that wasn't the half of it
 When she returned, Lydia was en- gagged to a busted Spanish count; Cornnc had captured a Hungarian

 That was an angle Jonas never could biscct. As expensive as it was, all rtght--hjs wife and daughters had to look smart. But, granting that, if they looked smart once why couldn't they keep on looking just the same and just as smart? He had one dress suit. It never changed and it always an swcrcd. Why did the womenfolk> have to make changes like vaudeville hcadlincr, after each number?
 Between the first and tenth of each month, that intcrIude of horror be, tween arrival of the bills and payment thereof, Jonas Stcfcnson's flag flew at half mast.

Mdhe a piIl beside CaNuohna. and cannonhaiI, thy name i. Money.
 If money is cauoooa)I. ,hon Jonas Stclenson Was big shot. That's the only thing he'd plenty of bary
 But he wanted to enforce onc-way traffic. His passion was taking in money; his aversion was paying out money.
 Every cheek that left his cIsnging fingers had drop of his hearts blood or it.
 To him a dollar bill had SIX pennies pasted on it, for he counted the inter- est on it before he put it in his pocket
 So, by the law of averages, he mar rcd probably the best two-handcd srendthIift jn Christendon.
 And they didn't fight much--not very much. Only for twenty-five years during their every waking hour.
 When they began fighting, Jonas complained bitterly that clerk cn $30 week should put by at least d third of it for sickness, old age, unempjoy- ment, children and other miSfoftunes. A quarter of century later, when he was making half million a year. he called on the high heavens to witness that man whose income was anywhere near that should let such money ac- cumulate and earn other money and have that become a fortune,
 With only a few measly millions in platinum-ed edged bonds, downtown real estate and public utilities, he felt shaky; he felt ashamed that he was still poor; he couldn't look himself in the face because he seemed doomed to be financial flop.
 Mrs. Stefenson, long inured to his line, said whatever the refined syn onym is for "booney," and proceeded to charge. The Light Brigade was out of gas compared with her.
 She had three daughters. They were mighty expensive. She pointed
  out again and once more to Jonas that getting them married was the best promotion he could manipulate. Dy presenting them in the foremost markets, trimmed up and exterior decorated. the best and quickest pros poets should be logical.
 Jonas answered that any sane man. seeing them lit up like Mrs. Aator's pet pups, would be scared off; that :acn liked modest girls, economical cirls-to which Mrs. Stcfenson said, "Ycs-mer like that kind-men like you like that kind-but God help them
 don't want them to get that kind of men"
 The girls were no longer debu;an.cs. Despite the alIuring displays engineered by their mamma, the men had not snapped any ankles in the rush.
 There was Lydia, the oldest, blond ike her father, now 2G; dcad-pan Corinnc, chcstnut-haircd like her mother, now 24; and the sprightly babe, Fclicc-the-happer, whose hair was darker brown, turned p

for manY nights thereafter and he saw and heard his wife pre-, pairing for the forthcoming delights. By this time he didn't even have the grit left to stop them buying wardrobe He went about with the guilty weight Of his ehas;ly deed hanging around his neck.
 Even unto the very cvcning--fur- ther, even through dressing after din ner-and then he knew it had to be donr.
 He was usually the first one down. This time, Tagging until the last mo- ment of life and liberty, when he en- tered the drawing room his wife and daughters Were already dressed, i'm. patient,
 He looked up at the ceiling as though he expected to see it coming down to fall on his grey and dizzy dome.
 Somehow, the Introductory oratory he had framed up got weaker and poorer with each step he trod toward the judge and jury.
 His wife was tapping the tip of hci toe pctuIantly, toying with her pearls norvously Jonas got chill every time he saw her iiGgling those pearls. That always meant she was steamed up. But he couldn't turn back he couldn't turn anywhere.

 It will be easier to provide ter minal for the buses than for the trolley.. But both ultimately will need attention. A downtown trolley and bus terminal, which could be utilized by all concerns in the pas .enger transportation business would be a worthy step forward.
