kind of cocktail they may desire in

taurants over the State provided
they obtain the necessary State, coun-
ty and city licenses, at an aggregate
cost of 500 a year. The Department
of Revenue is already getting appli-
cations for these licenses from hotels
and cafes and is expecting to get still
more after May 1, when the new law
becomes effective.
This new cocktail law" which isl
in reality a part of the section of the
Revenue Act placing tax on wines,
is also expected to be a boon to the
hotels and restaurants in counties
having liquor stores, since under the
State liquor control law it is not legal
to serve hard liquors by the drink,
even in wet counties. But the cock
tail law" will permit the mixing of
gin and various types of WHISTLES in
to cocktails having small amount of
wine in them and the serving of these
cocktails in any cafes, restaurants and
dining rooms having the necessary

Grade A hotels and restaurants to

wines if the alcoholic content is not

ing for the game which never took
place. Well that's all there is to write
something that didn't happen.
Now let's gossip about what was to
take place today. Since, I wrote this
article before time for the game to
take place it is impossible for me to
tell you the results of the game or the
batteries.
The first OF the week l sent to press
the batting averages of the team for
the year so far. AS yoM all remember
Galloway held the highest average,
800. Lovebird Galloway seems to be
taking all the recognition away from
last years veterans. This is his first
year in high school ba seball, he not
only is the leading hitter but, pep
of a catcher. The first game that the
Bulldogs played with Epson, Galloway
got kicked in the head and suffered
a bad blow, this happening of course
put him out of the game. Until he
got hurt the local team had the best
of Epsom but after Galloway left they
not only caught up with the Bulldogs
but passed them. Playing out oppo-
site of Galloway is Turner in center
field, Turner is also starring in hitting
and is second on the average list
Turner has been out with the Bull
dogs since he was a freshman and has
grown up with the team, this is his
last year at the high school, Last
year, Turner took over the mound and
pitched some for the Bulldogs when
they got in a tough spot. Turner not
only plays baseball but is a splendid
basketball player, and football star.

PRINCESS "ZULIEKA" ASTOUND-
ED PATRONS AT STEVENSON
Psychic Marvel AmaZeS Many

Princess Zulieka, the great astound-
ing psychic personality who arrived
in Henderson at the Stevenson The
atre last Monday, and continues to
amaze the many people who have call
ed upon her for advise and counsel.
Many of her subjects have professed
their deep faith in her powers to fore
tell future events.
In an interview with this reporter
of the Henderson Daily Dispatch she
stated: 1T is my firm belief that the
stars and planets affect the conduct
of human affairs. In the light of
many recorded sustaining circum-
stances, over a period of thousands of
years such a premise has become al
most an established science. Phycho-
logists and psychiatrists know that
many human beings during certain
phases of the moon are adversely af-
fected. The human mind" she con-
tinued, "is still for the most part an
unknown field of scientific research,
and yet there is no gain-saying the
fact that there are many proven cas-
es fmental telepathy. During an in
terview with subject become aware
of certain mental pictures that in my
opinion are the reflections of the
thought impulses in the subjects mind
These mental pictures come to me
without effort or volition on my part"
During the week Princess Zulieka
met and spoke to many public offici-
ais of the city of Henderson. She ex-
pressed to Chief of Police her opin-
ion that Henderson was one of the
best policed cities she had ever visit
ed. And that there was less crime
because of the evident efficiency of
the police department.

eral under the Harding and Coolidge

ing house at 4l32 Military road the
day before foreclosure proceedings by

Because Of clerical error in the
Office OF the district attorney at Police
Court, Judge Walter j. Casey yester-
day directed not guilty verdict
against Fletcher. The warrant charged
him with entering premises at 3l42
Military road. While the courts fire.
quently permit prosecutors to correct
informations. 1t was decided in this
case that the matter had been i'm
properly presented to the jury before
the error was pointed out by Defense
Counsel James J. OIeary, who had
brought witnesses to prove the incor-
rect address.
The case Is test brought at the
insistence OF the defendant to deter
mine the validity OF the set-up Of the
Home Owners Loan Corporation.
Counsel for Fletcher contends that the
H, o. L. c, is not incorporated under
the laws Of either the District Of Co.
lumbia or any one Of the States He
holds that Congress merely authorized
board to set up the corporation.
In an effort to attack the validity
OF the Government body, it is claimed
Fletcher secured quit claim from a
woman whose home was to be FORE
closed the next day by the H. O. L. C.
The Government contends that the
house was its property and Fletcher
hAA unlawfully entered it. He was

were put into effect. The only change
in the new warrant will be a change
in the address Of the house.
