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 f H V e .- s .K - V FSLLOUZ B n ow cX R \o t« ~ C U R U i O O Ô G IH OF H O lX ß M O K B " T t X l S -F n O X M ' /e n o K M fc o x * Ï i o a r a c u a te . / X Fou AH 1 6U Î H im 1 OoTA TU’ •4 about mattering, “I f wedoa't get storied oa ted Jam» team ysar- M A D R ID —-tU P ) — Barcelona'« Un’s tram New Mexico 71 Jest »boat drop tram san-etrake.” The eky ▼ice district. known the world was glittering like Mae potter», over m one ot the eornpt Little page of dast floated over tea in Europe, 1« soon to disappear. field, raised b r the hoots of anl- order to enlarce* the entry maja aad tee hick-heeled boots of 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 TUE VICTOR C O ET A BROMCK ool Í Á l X H t ’O Í É L L S o U - T H Ê - f - T V l P U B U C Ç M IG H T Y Q ü B E R . < -T uer s o sorry f e r -T h ’ vosero - iuew f e r g it t u * \ m » mhers cheer . __________ - k fth tffc g r g E ___ - Lawyers* wives needh’t blame them so much fo r » Y - ing an occasionai tee in the forfn of stock certificates.
