DALLAS, August 26.-Sixteen years
Of Statewide prohibition were behind
Texas today. but Saturdays special
election which saw repeal voted by
strong margin left confusing tangle
which appeared of no immediate
solution.
But the time and method Of making
legal sales was in doubt, as was the
status of many q district dry through
local option before the prohibition
amendment-repealed in Saturdays
special electicn-was voted in 1919.
Ruling to Be Asked.
Gov. James v. Alfred said he would
ask Attorney General William McGraw
for a ruling on when the repeal
amendment becomes effective.
The results of the election, however,
must be canvasSed and proclaimed on
the fifteenth day after the test.
McCraw said he would issue gen.
eral ruling during the day.
The Governor said recently he
would call a special session Of the
Legislature to enact enabling laws, but
he spoke less positively today. He
opposed repeal.
Latest figures showed 259,2l8 votes
for repeal and 203,869 against. These
represented 239 of 254 COUNTIES.
Beer Sold Openly.
At San Antonio, beer stronger than
the previously legal 80 was sold openly
as soon as the election result was
apparent Saturday night.

MY COUSIN Edgar is not strictly
A'A "finessephobe" or a "finesse-
phile." He can take illnesses or leave
them alone; but it must be admitted
in the strict interests of accuracy that
my cousin Edgar would far rather
leave them alone. He remembers an
occasion-on July 4, 1926, it was
that three illnesses worked for him.
Working backward and forward from
the memorable date, however, his life

The grand slam contract on the fol-

Scores of Washingtonians jour
neyed to Baltimore last night to
delight in a rendition by members
of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany-although not appearing Of
ficially as such-of Richard Wag-
ner's Die Walkure." The Lyric
Theater was thronged to capacity
and, it was estimated 500 persons
were forced to stand throughout
the performance.
Heralded by New York, critics
as one of the greatest perform
ances of the opera, Die Walkure"
lived up to advance notices. The
company left nothing to be de-
sired in turning in perfect per
formance. although the response
Of the audience was none too en-
thusiastic.
Interest centered upon the Balti-
more debut of Kristen Flagstad,
singing the role of Brunnhilde.
Her rendition of the stirring
Valkyrie song brought the only
outburst of applause interrupting
the action. She turned in a
thrilling performance.
But for many the dominating
figure of the opera was the dra-
matte and melodious Wotan of
Friedrich Schorr. Others who de-
lighted the audience were Ger
trude Kappel as Sieglinde, Paul
AlthouSe as Siegmund, Doris Doe
as Fricka, and Emanuel List in
the somber role of Hunding.

harmonizes with it particularly
we'll, for the main colors. The
rug has these and other tones
in it, and some of the small &C.

the mantel are blue with white
