Repeal of national prohibition on December 0 Is now a foregone conclusion, but a review of the ?ituation Indicates that only about balf the states will have liquor this year and in some the wet flood may bo ?harply restricted by local option. There are 19 states which either never had prohibition by Constitution or statute or which hnve cleared their books of such prohibition. These will have liquor ns soon ns federal prohibi tion Is repealed and although only 10 of them have so far passed control laws It Is assumed the others will quickly do so in order to start the flow of license fees Into the state coffers. 81* of these ten states specifically pro vide for local prohibition where de sired. Nineteen "Wet" States. Of the 29 other states. 27 still hnve Statutory prohibition and of these 27 there are 11 which also hnve constitu tlonal prohibition. Two of the 211 hnve constitutional prohibition only. In only ft few of these 29 states have arrange ments been made which might clear the way for liquor by the date of fed eral repeal. The 19 states where repeal is ef fective at once are Arizona. California, Beautiful Fall Gown Fan pleatu lend Interest to the pep lam and to the square train of I'atou'a Slender gown In blackberry crepe roma. Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illi nois. Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsyl vania, Rhode Island, Washington and Wisconsin. Wet organizations here Include Indiana In the above list with the notation that although It repealed its prohibition enforcement act, some doubt exists as to whether a prohibi tion statute Is still In effect. States which have statutory prohi bition are Alabama. Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho. Jowa, Kansas. Kentucky. Maine, Massachusetts. Michigan. Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Da kota, Ohio. Olknhoma, South Carolina, South Dakota. Tennessee, Texas. Utah, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. Of these the following also have constitutional prohibition: Idaho. Kan sas, Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma. South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia. Florida and Wyoming have constitu tional prohibition alone. Among the states which have statu tory prohibition alone no plans for special sessions to act on the statutes have been reported from Alabama, Ar kansas, Georgia. Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee or Vermont. Three More May Get In. The legislatures will meet this fall, however. In Iowa, Michigan and Min nesota. which leaves the way open to adding these states to the list which might have liquor coincident with fed eral repeal. Also, a special legislative committee Is considering a control law In Massa chusetts, a commission Is studying a control plan In Missouri, and a liquor control commission has been named In Virginia, which recently voted both for repeal of the Eighteenth amend ment and of the state prohibition law. The states most likely to trail the repeal parade onto actually wet ground'! are the 11 which have both statutory and constitutional prohibi tion and the two which have only constitutional prohibition. The latter,' Florida and Wyoming, are definitely out of the liquor group for more than a year. Duck Turns Placer Miner Chicago. ?

The gold was found In the craw of the duck by Frederick Rlaschke. Kitchen Door Is Winner in Lottery Istanbul. ?

By Lame Bode mm WNU 8#rvl<v MOTIVES By LEONARD A. BARRETT Only In criminal law does motive de termine the punishment for crime. If a murder Is pre meditated, the pen a 1 1 y Is death. Should it have been committed by ac cident or without malice afore thought, tli e pen alty may be life imp r I s o n in e n t. When j ist Ice de mands a penalty for other violations of law the element of motive Is not considered. It has been a long time since JennViljenn, t n Los Miserahles. served 10 years ns a pulley slave In 11 French prison for stealing a loaf of brown bread. True, he stole the bread, but the motive which Impelled the act was the hunger of the seven little children of his widowed sister. That the penalty was unjust goes with out question, but how far'have we ail vanced In this respect from the days when Victor Hugo wrote? In the reconstruction of our social order ? and who doubts It is under going a very significant change? ? the element of motive is bound to receive more serious consideration. The most dnngerous condition In our social or der today is the problem of unemploy ment. This Is due to tw# factors^the impossibility of procuring worif by men who honestly seek for It. and the mental attitude of those men who do not care to work even when they have the opportunity. The latter believe that the government's duty Is to pro vide shelter, food nnd heat for all per sons deprived of these necessities. Buckeye Quarter Carl Cramer, quarterback on the Ohio State university team, la consid ered one of the most brilliant of the Huckeye players. lie halls from Dayton, Ohio. The element of motive always asks the question, Why? When welfare workers disregard the element of mo tive and Rive necessities Indiscrim inately to whomever applies, It only encourages that dangerous attitude which not only accepts but demands these necessities as the rights of citi zenship. If a man's motive In accept ing help Is to escape work, there Is no moral law which de"mnnds that he be assisted. * The element of motive Is also vital to our national recovery. Why do we want recovery? The universal answer seems to be. recovery Is essential to prosperity. Rut why prosperity? If our motive In seeking prosperity Is that we may again become extrav agant and Indulgent and repeat the same mistake which brought about the depression, then the return to pros perity might be open to serious ques tion. Whenever we have a recovery of our moral and spiritual resources along with ^he recovery of our mate rial values, our prosperity will remain stable and secure and Its recovery fully Justified. <C>, 1981. Wont?rn N?wnp*p?r Union. Frogs Alive in Clay of 34-Year-Old Wall Schenectady, N. Y. ? Examination of a bullfrog to determine whether It may have lived In hard clay beneath the foundation of a Schenectady building for 34 years, was tinder way today. The frog Is one of Ave itfiearthed by workmen while laying a pipe line along the foundation. The frogs were Imbedded In the clay 10 feet below the surface.

There nre some chambers In which It seems almost Impossible to arrange the furniture because of the Interfer ence of windows. Since It Is through these openings that sun ami light nnd air with their purifying elements can get Into the Inclosed walled area, the homemnk'?r who finds this dlfllcfilty should realize that It Is an error In the right direction. It Is far better to have too many windows In a room than too few. Now that the summer Is spent, and draughts of air nre undesirable across beds, seek to find some position for the bed which will give the sleeper protection when windows are open. To sleep In a room without windows open Is to .hamper good health, the air should fill the room without blow ing on the sleeper. An excellent position for the dress ing table, whether It Is necessnry or whether It is by preference, Is before a window. The dresser should be low so that the standard does not come too high above the sill. The mirror should be Bilhouetted against the I i glit. The person using the dresser will find the light Is good. It comes evenly from both sides and also from the top and It Is thrown on the per son who Is reflected In the looking glass. A Homemade Drrasrr. An unsightly table can be convert ed Into a beautiful window dresser, (''over the top with wadding first, then with glazed chintz and net.

Or It can have mercerized sateen or percale under the net ns best suits the purse. A triple mirror, stood on the top Is sufllclent, but one with side supports from an old bu reau can be screwed to the top, or at the back of the table. If the supports nre good looking, they require no decorative treatment. If not they can be covered to match the dresser. I have s<"-n old. low bureaus, posi tloned before windows, and prove successful features tn the room dec ' oration. In one Instance the bureau was drawn out from the window enough for easy -ccess to It to be per mitted so that the sash could be raised or lowered readily -<to air the room, which was small and had but the one large window. ?. 1933.
