SPECIAL SESSION OF CONGRESS
 UNAVOIDABLE.

Developments in the present, lame duck session of Congress makes it necessary for President Roose welt to call special session of the 73rd Congress this Spring He is said to be reconciled to that eventuaty and will be ready when it convenes pre- sumaby about the middle of April, to submit com prehensve program
 Due to the confusion following friction Con gressonal efforts to balance the national budget, Democratic House leaders prudenty decided to forego further work that direction until President Roose- welt is inaugurated and the Congress that was se- ected with him can be assembled. That Congress is pledged to certain specific actions but these pledges are not technically binding on the present congress When Speaker Garner and his aids undertook to enact legislation to put them into effect immediately they found themselves unable to do so with the narrow majority by which the Democrats control the House The repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment is the most striking example of the difficulties under which they labored. It was beaten in the House by the lame duck members. More recently proposals for legislation failed to be accorded united support of the Democratic members. Sensing friction over this that might be carried over to the new Congress the House leaders wisely decided to abandon the effort and await the time when Pres- dent Roosevelt can assemble the Congress elected with him That his program will be enacted without any of the serious difficulties attending the present session is certain.
 The certainty that special session of the 73rd Congress will be called within few weeks puts a new aspect in the Prohibition repeal cause in the present session. In some quarters there was a tendency to accept the Senate's so-called repeal resolution on the ground that it would obviate the delay that would if action had to await the regular session of the next Congress. The resolution does not square with the promise made the country by the Democratic Party in it's national platform and by its Presidential candidate. It ought not to pass Those who favor outright repeal, now that it is known the new Congress will assemble within six weeks after MT Roosevelt takes office need have no hesitancy in killing the weak compromise offered by the Senate.

., Armitage dared not take his eyes from the floor. a.lh
 The emerald suits her coloringl doesn't it, Farrell? The emerald certainly suits her better than it suits me. And then here's lit tie seascape. It looks like Bogey Cove I-that effect of sunlight on the sand is. There's favor ite of mine! It's the back of Kings Barn, seen through the blos- som of the pear tree. The pear tree is-is-theres a beautiful pear tree"
 The desperate voice broke at last. He was still quite unable to look at her. He swung away and walked across the echoing boards to the window. The cotton cur tain tore from it's rings as he dragged it back and leaned his forehead against the pane
 He stood there for some min- utes, intently listening for a sound from her-any sound He felt in different whether she cried or cursed or pitched to the floor, pro- vided she broke down in some way. There seemed to be nothing to think abolt except perhaps that it had been too easy a victory after all a mere walk-over.
 He turned. There had only been the faintest whisper of a move ment, but she was crouched, palms down, upon the floor gazing al- most vacantly at the portrait. The emerald at her throat swung with in an inch of it's painted likeness.
 Armitage walked back across the room and, bracing himself against the cupboard, stopped over her and picked her up. Her head sagged against his arm. her face had a greyness that he did not like. But she was not uncon- scious. He stood quite still, holding her easily; vaguely aware that she was not as heavy as she should be. Then she muttered-"M Mark. ?
 Forget him." jerked Armitage. You were never his. You're mine. Don't you know it?"
 She turned her face against his

CHAPTER 13. BARBARA DESPERATE

That's a-an interchangeable an interesting piece of work. Isn't it?"
 The words came clearly-Farrell thought that Barbara Quentin whatever her extremity, would all ways speak with that chiselled clearneSs; but the lingering soft ness of her voice had gone. It was the voice of a woman harsh with fear and grief that said care fully and clearly how very techni- cally interesting was this revealing portrait. A heart -wrenching voice

 AS yet he had given no clear thought to Leila, the living girl, his friend and ally. She stood only for one of the impertinences which Lodely aimed at Barbara Quentin. That emerald, so fantas- tically set, must have been Leila's first. Given by her to the artist, as a fee for the portrait? Or, of fered by the artist to his model as a token, a souvenir; rejected by her-and reoffered by him to his acknowledged love?

Wilson's Peace Formula.

Norman H. Davis, who has been acting for the United States in series of international exchanges during the past year, tells reporters at New York that I've really move very far forward unless we embrace the principles of Woodrow Wilson and use the machinery he instrumental in setting up"
 In a Nation which has almost pathological fear of dealing with the League of Nations, this remark probably will a good deal of dissent. But Wilson's great scheme for international CO., operation, in one form or another, may yet prove the most valuable fruit of the World War. For it is idea that must, later, be adopted by everyone; and while the existing League may well have to give way to some better organization, the principle itself is soundand the since the war have only served to emphasize the fact

Here's What Repeal
Amendment Will Do
Government to Ignore Liquor
Traffic Except for COL
lection Of Taxes
NOT CONCERNED WITH SALE
Principal Regulatory Job Will Be
to Protect Dry States
From Shipments

washington, Nov. 8-R)-Repeal of
Of the eighteenth amendment means
taking the federal government out Of
the business Of regulating the drink
traffic, except for collecting taxes
and preventing liquor shipments into
dry states.
AS soon as the seth state completes
formalities Of ratifying the 2lst
amendment, the government at
washington will no longer be con-
cerned with when or where the in
dividual buys his liquor and drinks it.
The federal government will con-
tinuc, however, to keey its finger on
alcoholic beverage production to COL
lect taxes, and on transportation, SO
as to prevent 1t from getting into
states where 1t is unlawful.
Regulation of the sale and con-
sumption Of liquor will be entirely
within the Jurisdiction Of the in
dividual state governments, some of
which will permit it without control
while others prohibit 1t under any
circumstances.
Generally speak the 18th
amendment takes with 1t out of the
lawbooks all the supporting legisla-
ton enacted since 1920 and leaves
In effect the prohibition restric-
lions.
Shipment Is Unlawful
The most important Of the laws tc
be revived by the passing Of national
prohibition is the Webb Kenyon Law
enacted in 1913 to protect dry states
It remains In force and will make
unlawful the shipment Of intoxicat.
Ing liquor into states where local law
forbid 1t.
This law will be enforced by the
department Of justice.
Collection Of taxes on liquor viii
be In the hands Of the internal rev.
enue bureau, where it was before
prohibition.
The Volstead law and its amend
ments will be dead, except for the
District Of Columbia and other fed
eral territories. Down with the Vol.
stead Act will 60 the severe Jones
enforcement law and the recently en-
acted 80 per cent beer law, both Of
which were made amendments to it
Another law which comes back in.
to effect with repeal Is the Reee
amendment to the Webb-Kenyor
law, which forbids sending adver.
tisements Of intoxicating liquors into
