OLD KENTUCKY
i
LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 11 (by As
sociated Press).—Farmers in Ken
tucky who have been accustomed to
quenching their thirst with hard cider
may be classed as “moonshiners” un
4 der the McLellan law, which goes into
effect on July 1. Under the state-wide
dry amendment adopted by the people
last fall, any person having a beverage
containing more than, one-half of 1
per cent alcohol, including cider or
home-made wine, on their premises,
may be haled into court to show
whether they manufactured it with
or without a permit.
Kentucky in this assuming “concur
rent jurisdiction” with the govern
ment of the United States in en
forcing prohibition, puts more teeth
into the Volstead enforcement act and
makes every peace officer in the state
responsible for keeping the common
wealth “bone dry.”
Thirty-four other states and the Dis
trict of Columbia have state law
enforcemen measures, as follows: Ala
bama, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indi
ana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New Mexico, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Okla
homa, Oregon, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia,
% Washington, West Virginia and Wy
oming. Ohio has not adopted a com
plete enforcement code, three codes
having been passed by the legislature
and held up by the popular referen
dum.
Eleven states which so far have not
passed law enforcement codes are:
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connec
ticut, Vermont, New York, New Jer
sey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Louisi
ana and Wisconsin. Three of the
eleven—Rhode Island, New Jersey and
* Wisconsin—have adopted beer bills.
The Wisconsin legislature, in enact
ing a 2% per cent law, provided that
if the United States supreme court
sustains the Volstead act the statute
shall not go into effect. Rhode Island
will license places selling beverages
containing not more than 4 per cent
of alcohol by weight, on the ground
that it is non-intoxicating. New Jer
9 sey, in legalizing the manufacture,
sale and transportation of 3)4 per cent
beer, awaits the formal declaration of
peace and the end of war prohibition.
Maryland “wet” legislators pi'o
posed a 3)4 per cent beer bill, which
was passed by the house but defeated
in the senate. Bills providing for 3)4
per cent beer are now pending in the
Massachusetts and New York legis
latures. Delaware is considering an
amendment to the state prohibition
code providing for the sale of liquor
for “medicinal purposes,” in hannony
with the federal code. The “drys”
oppose it on the ground that it nulli
fies much of the state enforcement
law.
INLAND EMPIRE LEAGUE
, DID NOT MATERIALIZE
SPOKANE, May 11 (by Associated
Press).—Plans for the organization of
the Inland Empire Baseball League,
with six teams, two from this oity,
have been dropped by backers of the
proposed semi-pro organization, with
the entry of Spokane into the Pacific
International League.
Chewelah and Colville, Wash., and
Wallace and Kellogg, Idaho, were ap
plicants for berths in the league, but
the expense of “jumps” between
those towns and Spokane was said
to have made the success of the league
financially doubtful, with the Pacific
International opposition here.

BIG SHORT AGE
NEW YORK, May 11 (by Associated
Press).—A nation-wide campaign to
“measure service of teachers, school
equipment and course of instruction”
so that every 'municipality may know
how to deal with its public school prob
lem has been started, it was an
nounced here recently by a national
committee composed of secretaries of
chambers of commerce and superin
tendennts of schools representing
sixty-four American cities.
On the ground that the public
schools of the United States are facing
a grave crisis, due to the alleged need
of $2,500,000,000 to provide adequate
buildings, and $200,000,000 for raising
salaries to stop the increasing short
age of teachers, the national commit
tee says that it is enlisting the aid
of chambers of commerce throughout
the country for the purpose of ac
quainting every citizen and taxpayer
with the facts.
“The United States is now actu
ally 35,000 short of the number of
teachers required to fill positions,”
said Secretary Richardson. “This
shortage exists after about 65,000
makeshift teachers have been em
ployed; in other words, the real short
age of trained and experienced teach
ers is fully 100,000. The cost of liv
ing has increased at least 80 per cent
in the past six years, and yet teach
ers have had a salary increase of less
than 30 per cent since 1914. Building
programs -also have been held up by
the war. Many communities have out
grown their old school plants, and
overcrowded half-day sessions, and
the forced use of portable and tem
porary school buildings, have been
evils which cry out for remedy.”
NORMA TALMADGE AT
EMPRESS AGAIN TONIGHT
Norma Talmadge is with us again
tonight in “Her Only Way,” repeated
for the last time at the Empress.
Norma, with hej; glorious eyes and
bewitching smile, tells the story of a
girl who chose between poverty and
riches, love and duty, and how she
found “her only way,” the royal road
to happiness.
Tomorrow night “The One Woman,”
by Thomas Dixon, author of “The
Birth of a Nation,” will be on the bill.
This is a powerful play based on the
doctrine of free love, practically ap
plied. It will make you laugh and
cry, thrill and shudder, and leave you
something of vital importance to
think about.
