Those "liquor specials" which

Congress is the doctor, and If
it does not write too quickly in

When, and if, Congress modi-

legislature and has exclusive leglS-

The railroads "liquor specials"
appeared when the Sheppard, pro-

Observers said if Congress does
agree to change the prohibition

II is curious how longforgotten

recognition OF differing styles among
story writer's, it was interesting.
Few children of today have ever
heard of the "Prudy Parlin" and
''Dottie Dimple" series by Sophie
May.
But we knew them all by heart
and could tell you how they put
Prudy in a great hogshead when she
was naughty; how she scared them
all by climbing TO the top of the
house IN painters ladder, in search
of heaven; how she followed sister
Susie to school. and amused herself
by trying TO see if her knitting
needle would come out the other side
