State Autonomy in Prohibition
Representative Hill of Maryland has introduc­
ed a bill in Congress that will precipitate an ani­
mated debate on the Eighteenth Amendment.
This measure proposes to modify the Volstead
drV enforcement act by letting every state decide for
itself what constitutes “ intoxicating” beverages. In
other words, the idea te to “ pass the buck” to the
states in the matter of dry enforcement.
The constitutional amendment gives the federal
government and the state governments p concur­
rent jurisdiction” in that matter. Trouble over
such unusual procedure was foreseen when it was
first proposed. Now the trouble is going to start
in earnest, after a few preliminary skirmishes like
the recent wet votes in New York and Illinois and
the previous passage of bills in two or three states
in favor, of 2.75 per cent liquor.
' There is much doubt as to the constitutionality
of the step proposed by Congressman Hill. It would
lie anew and bold recognition of “ state rights.”
It would mean that Congress was waiving its* legis­
lative powers in dry enforcement in favor of the
state legislatures. It might result in as many differ­
ent definitions of intoxicating liquor as there are
states.
Some of those definitions would doubtless raise
the alcoholic percentage pretty high. There would
inevitably be a protest that the Constitution was
being violated by state interpretations nullifying

Chicago Will Celebrate
Chicago is going to be 100 years old in 1933, and
is going to celebrate its centennial with eclat. There
is no other word for it.
Chicago has conceived the simple and admirable
idea that the way to observe that glorious occasion
is to put itself in such excellent condition during the
next six years that when 1933 comes, the world will
see it as a perfect modern city. To that end it
plans to expend more than half a billion dollars in
improvements.
The program is probably a more ambitious one
than any other city has ever undertaken at one
time. It includes almost every phase of public and
private construction and requires the co-ojíeration
of almost numberless orgánizations and individuals.
Among the projects authorised or contemplated
are new museums, colleges, churches, municipal
buildings, an aquarium, an art institute, a restora­
tion of the old Fine Arts Building in Jackson
Park, a great new boulevard from that park to
Grant Park, another boulevard to the north, a new
railroad terminal costing $50,000,000, several score

( What Others Say
The main cause of bad teeth, says Dr. Boyd
S. Gardner of the Magp
clin ic R o c h e s t e r ,
Minn., is fine table manneM
How come! Eating soft foods, to avoid noisy
and messy mastication, works havoc with our teeth.
“ Children,” he says, “ should he heard as
well as seen at the table. They should have hard,
substantial foods, that will require audible eating.”
Consider dogs, he says. A cur gnaws at bones
and other hard, coarse left-overs, and his teeth get
plenty of exercise and are in excellent condition.
“ As clean as a hound’s tooth” is a good smile.
But a pet dog, fed on delicate, prepared foods, us­
ually has defective teeth.
In the late war it was found that the English
soldiers, fed on soups and porridges, had the poorest
teeth, and the Russians, who ate coarse food, had
the best teeth.
