LIQUOR RULING BY
COURT ISSTUD|ED
Decision Wednesday Had
To Do With 1885 Act of
General Assembly

AS one TO the counties operating a
liquor store under the sO-called Pas
uuotank act of the 1885 General AS
semblv. Vance was more than or
dinarily interested in one Of the de-
cisions handed down by the State SUI
preme Court Wednesday. The opinion
left lawyers and laymen alike Won
dering whether or not the court, by
inference, had said that the local
laws under which II Eastern North
Carolina counties now sell liquor was
constitutional.
The case concerned the conviction
Of Sid Langley. Jr. convicted in Nash
County Superior Court for possession
of whisky. Associate Justice George
w. Connor gave his attention to the
effect the Pasquotank Liquor Con-
troll Act under which Nash operates,
had upon previously existing statutes
and wrote:
Only the provisions Of the Tur-
lington Act have ceased to apply to
Nash County as the result of the fa-
vorablc vote in the said county with
respect to the application Of Chapter
;o3. Public Laws Of North Carolina.
1889. Only the Nash County al
cohoic beverage control board. $50,
may under the provisions Of the act
sell or have in its possession for the
purpose of sale. spurious. vinous or
falt liquors in Nash County"
The court held the conviction of
Langley was sustained under the Con-
solidated Statutes 1919. passed in 1918
and amended in 1915 which prohibits
any person from possessing liquor for
sale. II further provides that posses
sion Of more than one gallon Of
spurious liquor Is prinla facie evil
dence Of possession for sale.

Style Chats

 Paris - (U.P.) -- Tailored suits that are made entirely of fur have been shown by almost every Paris ian couturier this year-but have not met with 8 great deal of suc- cess. These suits are practical, in- asmuch as they are warm, but most women prefer to spend the same amount of money on @ fur coat that can be worn for almost every occasion.
 Flat furs, such as shaved lamb, broadtail or goat, are used for these tailored suits. The skirts are cut slim to retain a slender silhouette ard flare out only below the knees to insure comfort in walking. The coats may be in either jacket or three-quarter length style. If made into Q jacket the coat is nipped in closely at the waist and then flares out into a full bas- que. The rather exaggerated revers are usually set off by Q colorful woolen scarf knotted under the chin. Three-quarter length coats follow tn, directoire silhouette with fitted waist.
 These suits are worn on the street as well as for cocktails or restaurant dining. The choice of a blouse de- pends upon the formality of the oc- casion. Tailored blouses of light weight wool are used for street wear in Q variety of bright colors. They usually follow the ordinary shirt waist style with long sleeves, slight ly built-up shoulders and e high neck finished by 6 small collar. Satin Is the favorite choice for the dresaisr blouse.

Even the spade lead would not have changed the result.
 South won the first trick with the ace. He then laid down two rounds of diamonds. only to learn that West had held six originally. He then led the ace of clubs and fol- lowed with another club, and dunn my proceeded to cash all the club tricks.
 South discarded two hearts, one diamond, and one spade. West, who had to make five discards, threw two diamonds and three hearts. East had to discard only twice, and parted with one spade and one heart.
 The next play was a spade from dummy, which was won with the ace. South now led the nine of hearts, putting West into the lead. At this point West held only the Jack and nine of diamonds, and was forced to lead up to declarer's tenacc.

Perhaps South was unduly opti- mistic. Possibly first round control of every suit, and one long and fairly solid suit is not enough justi- fication for a small slam. But If South was to blame, so was North.
 North had shown both spades and clubs, and all that South gambled on was that one of the three suits in the partnership hands would run, and thereby make squeeze effec- tive against one opponent or the other.
 Today's hand IS an interesting example of a fairly common If usually unrecognized situation, one where no trump, with no power to ruff, will produce as many or more tricks than the best avail able suit contract.
 The South player who recog- nized that fact was the one top on the board in recent duplicate game in New York.
