New angles and new contingencies, not specifically covered in the Oregon "prohibition law, develope hourly. The newest, probably, is the question of treating one's friends in his own home. A timely news story in this connec tion, in a Portland paper,' covers the pomls in this connection as. follows: In serving liquor to guests at your home, when giving dinners and par ties, .there is no violation of the pro hibition law. . Nor is it against the law to give .liquor to someone in case of sickness. These are two questions which have been asked of District Attorney Evans repeatedly since the prohibi tion law . became operative.: Those persons who raised the questions pointed to the phrase dn the statute which prohibits "giving away." "There are two kinds of people who want the most rigid interpreta tions," explains Mr. Evans. "One is the prohibitionist who doesn't want anyone to have a drop of liquor be cause he is opposed to it on general principles, ine other 18 , the equally radical wet,' who wants the' law en forced so drastically that public senti ment! will be aroused and bring about its repeal. But the law is quite plain and common sense is all that is neces sary to interpret Ua provisions. "Dozens of people have telephoned or written letters wanting to know if it isn't) unlawful for any one to -serve liquor in his., own home to guests, 'i The best way to answer this is to stent with the constitution, and then read the section which touches on, the aubjeoU" v . "'.'M The constitution says: ."Flroiri and1 after January 1, 1916, no intoxicating liquors shall be manufactured or sold - within this state,' except for medicinal purposes upon prescription ' of a li censed physician,' or for scientific, sacramental or mechanical purposes." Under section 89 of the prohibition kw it provides that in all ' presecu tiona under the state law or municipal ordinances for maintaining a common nuisance, t)he finding of liquors in the posoanion of one not legally authorized to sell some, except .in a . private serving, a glass of beer to guests is with a place of business, shall be . prima facie evidence that the liquors Ottle Prices That Assure the Quickest Clearance at West's 18th Annual JMUAEICLEARAMCE Nothing but Dependable Merchan dise at Lowest Prices of the Year SALE WOMEN'S, MISSES' AND GIRLS' APPAREL.

' ..'..x .",. VJ;'''"' k. In section 15 all premises, buildings, vehicles, boats and all other places where intoxicating liquors are man ufactured, sold, bartered- or given away, in. violation of law, or where persons are permitted to resort to the drinking of intoxicating liquor as a beverage, etc., are declared to be com mon nuisances. '. : 1 . Whr is meant by "giving away" is defined in section 9. Here it is: "The giving away or furnishing of intox icating liquor for the purpose of evading the provisions of this act, or' any shift, device or subterfuge what soever, to evade the provisions of this act, shall be deemed unlawful selling within the meaning of this act." To serve a guest liquor with a meal in your own home is not "giving away for the purpose of evading the law." Liquor can be given away in a manner to constitute a sale when the giving is designed as a shift, as a means of dodging the statute. The constitution, which is what the prohibition law rests on. does not say that it is unlawful to give a guest in toxicating liquors in your home. The act which carries out the constitution does not make such giving away un lawful except where the Erivimr awav is intended to evade the provisions of Wa Mkt too mnoh meat, which aliwa the law. Kidnavi. thrni Rut hnrt. nJ val cuurse, u a uersuil uses nis pri vate dwelling as a nlace to hold "booze parties" this becomes an at tempt to evade the law and is a vio lation of section 10 and section 15, particularly the latter, which says where persons are permitted to re sort for the drinking of intoxicating liquor as a beverage." In such a case, however, it would probably devolve on ine neighbors to complain that a com mon nuisance was being maintained in the private home where the "booze parties" were being held. There is, according to Ir. Evans, nothing in the law to prevent a host from passing a glass of intoxicating liquor to his guest in his own home. The whole point is whether an at tempt is (being made to evade the law, and serving liquor ' with a meal or in this movement are requested to be not such a violation. t v With regard to the occupants oi apartment houses and hotels, however, there is a possible source of 'trouble. A dinner with wino in an apartment house may result in noise which other tenants may construe, as; avmrisance. V.''1""'" 1 '.n.l'w'.: 1 . . . .' i-.ny VP' : I'. ' .
