These open spaces are wellprovided with seats, and when the weather permits are frequented also by sundry people in various walks of life. There are many old men. and women, who sit through the drtys in the sunshine or shade; there are .-.mall playful children in charge of their nurses, and there are numerous young people, mow out of work, who while away languid hours in the pleasant- parks. From these sources the squirrels and the pigeons get a bountiful supply of food, in the shape of nuts, bread crumbs and other morsels. The pigeons have become so tame that a pedestrian using the wulks has to be careful to avoid stepping on them, and* th0 squirrels show no. timidity Jm approaching and accepting a desirable contribution from a human friend. It is not an unusual sight to see one of each con" testing the ownership of a tempting nut tossed on the grass by some one, * * Undoubtedly elections* held today (will settle the matter of the elimination of the eighteenth amendment from the constitution of the United States, but the formalities will not be completed before the first (week in December, when conventions will be hebl of the delegates elected and declarations made in accordance with the votes cast. It has been judicially held that an amendment becomes effective immediately upon ratification by the last of the necessary number of states, thirty-six in this instance, so that within a month's time South Carolina will go back to the "quart-u-month" plan, states, which weVe formerly totally dry will j again become so, and- other states I will invert 16 ' the laws which were in operation before national prohibition, or will become subject to laws . which may have been passed recently I since it became evident that re.peal would become effecti.ve. * ? It looks now as though there will j not be at this time a test, which may I come later, of the constitutionality of t O Ine laws pa>-o<l hy Conjjri'ss looking j toward industrial recovery, which (contingency was threatened by the j attitude of tin- Ford Motor Company. Ill seem- that the company has given j satisfactory assurance of intention to I comply ub.-tan'ially with the pr.ivji -boils of t lie N HA code, and the mat-her may rest there.
