Effective at Once. Discussion as to whether the new unendment becomes a part of the lonstitution now that thirty-six states have ratified it or whether it ecomes a part of the basic, law only vhen each State has certified its ac ion to the Secretary of State, led oday to a search for precedent which howegl that the only two amendments atified in the last half century-pro riling for income taxes and direct lection of Senators-were considered ffective immediately after the thirty ixth State had taken affirmative ac ion. Senator Sheppard, -uthor of the rohibition amendment, held that na ional prohibition becomes a perma lent fact January 16, 1920. Fourteen Certified. Only fourteen of the States have ,ertified their action to the State )epartment. The vote of the Missis sippi legislature, the first to act, has lot been received at the State Depart nent. The Mississippi Secretary of State said today at Jackson that'the 'ertificate had been mailed to Wash ngton immediately after the Legis!n' nre acted, and that a duplicate would e sent if the orie-inal had been lost. roclamatiop of the ratification of a iew amendment is made, but this was ;aid to be a formally and not a re luisite part of changing the Consti ;ution.

DRY WORLD THEIR OBJECTIVE Firsf Line Trenches Are Taken, Hin shaw Now Makes Claim. - Chicago, Ill., Jan. 18.--A dry world is the objective of prohibition 'forces now that the dry constitutional amendment has been ratified by the necessary three-fourths of the State, Virgil G. Hinshaw, national c'hairman of the Prohibition party, said in a statement. "America is dry at last," said Mr. Hinshaw, "and our vision now pen" 'rates to the shores of foreign lands which have been the dumping ground for American liquors for a century. We inaugufated our program for world prohibition early in October. "Hon. Eugene E. Cijafin, twice Presidential candidate, and daughter, -irrived in Sidney, Australia, Jan. 14, to pass a year to help,Australia dry. They went there to answer to the . call of the strength of the empire movement. "Today there comes a telegram fro'i Tokio, . Japan, which says the %emperance forces will invite Kera Smart Root, of Los Ang'eles, to in 'ugurate a camnaign to make Japai. Iv by 1930.
