SPORT FLASHES OF THE
WEEK

Sank Centre and our old south
ern rivals, Meqrose, mixed in a
scrappy game on the Melrose floor
last Friday. The fans got all they
expected to see in a Sank Centre
Melrose tilt and the fact that we
came out on top should go in for
more support for our team. After a
hair-pulling, finger-nail chewing
final quarter the game ended with
the Main Streeters once more vic
torious over Melrose to the cry of
24-21.
On Tuesday, February 4, the To-
calls intend to take Alexandria
down a notch on our home floor.

Several oral talks were given in
American History. The first was

follows: Mt. Vernon, several OF
Rockefeller's buildings, different
museums, the Statute of Liberty,
Americas largest library. While on
his trip he visited the following

figures in the presidential campaign only to the extent to which Dr. Leigh Colvin, prohibition party can didate for president, is factor in the race, which is not at all.
 Last June North Dakota voted 105, ,583 to 78,337 against form of municipal local option and pro- hibitionists variously interpreted the outcome as triumph or turning of the tide.
 Three Plans In Maine.
 Maine will vote Sept. IA on three propositions:
 1. Shall state stores for sale of liquor be opened by permission of the state commission in any city or town?
 2. Shall licenses be granted in any city or town under regulations of the state liquor commission for the sale of wine and spirits to be consumed on the premises.
 3. Shall licenses be granted in any town or city for the sale of malt liquorse.
 Every Maine town and city will answer those three questions and the result will be binding upon that community. Prohibition organizat- ions are instructing their followers to vote mo-" on all three. Prevail ing now in Maine is a control act which provided that the sale of liquor should be legal until Jan. 1, 1887. The town and city referendum will supplant that act.
 Texas Local Option
 Texas has form of local option which is a hangover from vote i'll 1919 which left some areas wet and some dry, subject of course to na- tional prohibition which, theoreti- cally, made the entire state a desert. The question before Texas voters is in the form of a constitutional amendment to provide for state dispensary system which would have exclusive rights to the sale of liquor under local option condi- tions.
 California Amendments
 CalifornianS are confronted by two proposed amendments to the con- stitution:
 1. An amendment to create an alcoholic beverage commission of three members each appointed for six years to supplant the state board of equalization as. the liquor governing body.
 2. A local option initiative ineas- ure for every city, town and county whereunder each would have auth ority to regulate or probihit liquor.
 The anti-Saloon league here said its organization was opposing the amendment to create a new cornis- sion but supported the local option proposal.
