DEATHPENALTY
DID NOT DETER
LIQUOR SELLER
Sonora, Mexico, Repeals Dras
tic Law That Was Dead
Letter — Liquor Sal
vaged from Gutter
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 16 (by
mail).—Though death has been the
penalty pronounced by General P.
Elias Calles, governor of Sonora,
Mexico, for the making or selling of
liquors in that state, public sentiment
was so strongly against the decree
that, while arrests were being made
in other parts of the state, in the
capital, Hermosillo, recently liquor
never was more plentiful nor cheaper
since prohibition first went into ef
fect in 1915. - ^
Americans reaching here recently
from Hermosillo said beer was being
sold at $25 in gold a case, of 60 pints,
and tequila was selling at $5 a quart.
Not long ago fifty cases, or 600 bot
tles, of tequila, seized in all parts of
Sonora, were publicly destroyed. The
liquor was poured into the gutter in
front of the governor’s palace. Amer
icans who witnessed the destruction
said that a number of peons were on
hand with cups and when the liquor
was poured into the gutter scooped
up enough to get riotously drunk.
During the period when the death
penalty was in force until it was re
pealed early in July, not a single ex
ecution had taken place.
Adolfo de la Huerta, the governor
elect, and the state congress are re
ported to be prepared early in Sep
tember, when they take office, to put
in effect a law reopening saloons in
Sonora for the sale of light wines and
beer. At present there are a number
of buildings in Agua Prieta, Naco and
Nogales, Sonora, being remodeled for
saloon purposes.
Mr. De la Huerta is said to have
been approached recently by repre
sentatives of the people of the Ala
mos and Sahuaripa districts, or
counties, with the petition that the
manufacture and sale of distilled
liquor from the Maguay, a species of
cactus, be permitted.
FOULARD HAS FIRST PLACE
Fabric Is Prime Favorite Among Silk
Materials for Wear During
Warm Weather.
Among the silk materials for the
warm-weather frock the foulard has
first place. The designs this season
are exceedingly varied. The polka dot
ranges in size from a pin-head to
a half dollar. One very good pattern
recently noted had several different
sized circles of white clustered to
gether and plentifully scattered over
the surface of a navy blue ground. A
very good-looking costume of this de
sign was combined with plain one-tone
silk. The frock was simple of line.
The plain material formed the body
of the blouse and simulated peplum,
while the short sleeves and scalloped
flour:ces were of the polka dot foulard.
Completing the costume was a leg
horn hat trimmed with scarlet flow
ers.
To wear with many of the charming
little organdie frocks wide-brimmed
hats of the same material have been
especially fashioned. These are trim
med with taJPfeta ribbon, and sometimes
faced with taffeta. Jersey cloth, both
in silk_ and wool, is one of the most
favored silk materials.
IN NEW UMBRELLA HANDLES
Bakelite Is Latest Material, Finished
With Loop of Same Material
or of Leather.
To be quite in accord with the pre
vailing mode, one should see that the
new umbrella boasts of a bakelite
handle, finishing with a loop of the
same material, or of leather, which
will help one to retain this accessory
in her possession for a reasonable
length of time. The new substance
comes in a variety of colors and can
be obtained both transparent and
opaque, to suit the individual taste.
The white bakelite closely resembles
ivory or a very fine celluloid; when
yellow, it is clear like amber, and in
delicate green it is slightly figured
and almost like jade. The round han
dle is movable to suit the convenience
of the person carrying it, and the
leather loops are attached at the low
er part of the straight handle. When
one has learned the value of these
protective loops, they are found al
most necessary thereafter.
