JUDGE DENIES
To
HAL 7 REPEA Al

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. UP
Justice Let's of District of Column
bia S supreme court today dismissed
a petition for a writ seeking to re-
strain acting Secretary of State
Phillips from proclaiming ratifica-
ton of the prohibition repeal
amendment.
The writ had been sought by
Canon Sheafe Chase, Brooklyn, N.
Y, and the Rev. George S. Duncan,
Washington. of the International
Reform League.
They contended the state ratifi-
cation conventions were not held i'll
the manner contemplated by the
constitution and they sought to pre-
vent Phillips from issuing the pro-
clamation which he is required to
issue when the Both state ratifies
the repeal amendment.
Justice Let's said that "even if
the petitioners were entitled to the
relief sought, it would be futile to
grant it, He pointed out that the
supreme court has ruled that con-
stitutional amendments become eff
fective at the moment the requisite
number of states have ratified it,
and that the proclamation by the
secretary of state is a mere formal
ity.
The proclamation had been writ
ten today and Phillips was ready
to issue it as soon as he receives
word from the 36th state. The
President also will issue a proclaim
alton, as required by the tax law
which provides for repeal of GER
tain levies when prohibition is re-
pealed

dent Roosevelt planned to pro-
claim repeal, starting a shift of
the burden of recovery taxes from
business to liquor, the leyies and
tariffs on which are expected tc
yield upwards CT S500000,000 a
year
This shift Of the tax burden, to-
gether with a renewal OF employ
ment in the liquor and allied in
cuStries, was regarded as the prin-
cipal economic effect of repeal
from the governments viewpoint.
Face New Problems
On the score of social change
was the claim of repealists that low
liquor taxes and effective control
laws would result in the Danish
ment of the bootlegger and allied
criminal.
Repeal created new problems il

MUSICAL EDUCATION HIGHLY
DESIRABLE FOR JUVENILES

have never studied a musical in

Our delinquent children.
Children need music today be-
cause it is a corrective aid to all
of the evils that are constantly be-
setting them and it is the duty of
every thinking parent TO give their
children a musical education
Dr. Elliot of Harvard stated that
music means more than any other
study taught in schools trains

GulbranSen, IN nationwide
survey, uncovered tie startling fact
that children who study music are
seldom seen in juvenile courts and
that music study is the greatest in
fluence in home life that is avail
able TO the modern child.
Music is the one universal Ian
guage understood by all people of
the world, and children should
study it because it will develop

and restless children.
The influence of music can be
felt drought life.
1T is through art that people
find the expression of their better
truer selves, and of all the fine
arts, there is none that makes
such 4 universal appeal as music. &"
Shakespeare said of music:
The man that hath no music in
himself,
Nor is not moved with concord
of sweet sounds.
Is fit for treasonS, strategems
and spoils.
The motions of a spirit are dull
as night,
And his affections dark as Ere
