more where she has lived with her
seamstress mother, Margaret Rog-
ers, to join her wealthy father,
John Mitchell. in New York. The

ers IS a widow following a second
marriage.
Barney Shields, young newspaper

daughter TO other young people.
Mrs. Parsons agrees. considering
Celia a means TO win Mitchell's
affections.
She soon becomes jealous OF the
girl and schemes TO get rid Of her
by encouraging a romance between
Celia and Tod Jordan. fascinating
but of dubious character.
Although Mitchell forbids Celia
to e Jordan she goes about with
the young man frequently. Lisi
Duncan. a girl OF Celia's age. be-
comes her loyal friend. Shields
comes to New York to work for a
Photographic service and meets Ce-
liza. She tells him she has lost her
heart to Jordan.
Realization that It IS really
Shields she loves comes 10 Celia
when the young man is imprisoned
in a burning building. He escapes
unhurt except for a broken arm.
Mrs. Parsons. who pretends TO be
friendly 10 Shields. goes TO Mitchells
and tells him Celia Is meeting the
young man surreptitiously. That
afternoon Celia and Shields are
strolling together when Mitchell
appears. He dismisses the young
man and takes Celia home where
they have a heated argument. Mrs.
Parsons arrives and denies she has
yer met Shields. Celia rushes
from the room. Later she slips out

H STRANGE CASE OF MAvIs MEENCH
Copyright. 1880, by The Associated Newspapers)

(Note: Psychologists have long been interested in
football games. Every attempt to find a reason why
Miss Meench should brave rain. snow. sleet. bowling
gales and bitter cold snaps during the football sea-
son has failed. Ordinarily she seems a person Of
reasonable sense. holding all the normal fear of pneu-
monia, grip, influenza and chronic chilblains. The
following is the stenographic report Of an examination
Of Miss Meench by Dr. Angus P. Keezle, noted psy-
chologistO
Q. Miss Meench. do you ever refuse an invitation
to a football game?
A. Never.
Q. Suppose the weather is terrible.
A. That makes no difference.
@. II there is a heavy rain do you remain through
out the contest7
A. Oh, yes, indeed.
Q. Are you ever kept from a football game by
snow or ice?-
A. Certainly not.
Q. You stay there and suffer regardless of the ele-
ments?
A. Yes.
@. Are you subject to colds?
A. I'm almost always laid up after one OF those wet
weather games. Last year I got pneumonia. Luckily
I caught 1t the last game Of the season or 1t would
have been awfully mountaineering.
". Wnat 90 you know ABOUT football as a game?
A. Practically nothing.
G. Do you know the rules at ALP
A. Not at all.
@. When the game is in progress do you know
what Is going on2
A. I haven't the slightest idea.
@. Do you find the game really exciting?
A. Now that you speak Of it, I don't think I do.
Q. Have you ever sat in open stands in a downpour
to watch a tennis game?
A. Never.
game from the bleachers in a bitter gale and heavy
rain?
A. OF course not.
Q. Would you 60 to a horse race regardless Of the
weather?
A. Don't be silly.
@. Then how. Miss Meench, do you account for
your devotion 10 football under all weather conditions
and no matter how much you suffer?
A. I can't quite explain it.
@. It's pretty silly Of you. don't you think?
A.. I suppose so.
Q. 1t certainly is not a manifestation Of inteli-
gence, is it?
A. No indeed.
Q. Nothing that goes on down there on the grid
iron in disagreeable weather j~ustifies your inconveni-
ence and
A. No.
Q. You're satisfied then that it's quite inexcusable?
A. Yes. sir.
@. I suppose you are aware that the prediction for
tomorrow's game is a nor'easter with a temperature
close TO freezing?
A. Yes. sir.
G. How would you like to go to the football game2
A. I'd love to-

 for in any state or territory whose 1 laws prohibit the manufacture. 1 transportation, or sale of intoXicat- l ing beverages; nor in any political l subdivision of the United States of i America (outside Of the District Of 1 Columbia) until requested by an

 "Each state shall submit to the ! electors thereof at the next general
 congressional election therein. after i three months from the date of the adoption of this amendment, the question whether or not the 18th amendment 10 this constitution shall he rope alcd. The electors in each state shall have the Qualifica- tiOns requisite for electors in the most numerous branch of the state 1 legislatures. Each state shall con- duct such clegtion therein and de- i tcrmine the result as the law there
 of provides or~in the absence of such state law, in such manner as | the congress may provide. On the | expiration of the time for, such
 election in all the states the sub mission of the question shall be

 state laws, and no state shall per init or authorize the conduct of
 saloon."
 The Sabath resolution, go, is said
 to be favored by moro vets in con-
 gross than any other. although Mrs. Norton's proposal received wide
 spread comment when if was first ! proposed q few weeks ago.
 II any of these six constitutional amendments should be reported from the committee, which is 1 doubtful, it would have to be ap- proved by a tWo-thirds vote Of each house of congress before being sub miucd 70 the state legislatures.
 Three fourths of the legislatures, 36 out Of 4S, would be required to
 approve it before it became cffcc- . tive.
