CONSTITUTION {Decisions of Supreme Court Sometimes Work Plain Havoc WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. — The Supreme Court, in its quiet way, has reminded the country that amending the Constitution may invite an awesome backfire. Amendment 21, prohibition peal, providing that no intoxicating liquor could be transported into any stat “in violation of the laws thereof. But that sounds simple. It was simple, in the minds of Congre ind framers of the amendment. The idea was that any state wishing to remain dry while the rest of the country was wet could simply out- law liquor and the Faderal Govern- it would be cping the liquor out. re- URPRISE ON CONGRESS But did Congress have the slight- est expectation that its one simple idea could be converted into & state tariff act? Certainly not Yet California came to the Supremc Court with a law generally vizwed as intended to tax out-of-state beer producers so California brewers would have a big advantage. And the Supreme Court agrced the amendment permitted such a pro- teetive tax, or tariff. It was strictly in violaiion of the commerce clause of the constitution but the Supreme Court held the states were given the ‘right, under the prohibition amendment, to in- terfere with interstate commerce when it came to liquor. There seems to be no immediate end to the matter. Home grown breweries and liquor plants can be fostered in any state by such a sys- tem of taxation. California cer- tainly had not intended to protect itself as a dry state, for with its potent wine industry it was the loudest in the clamor for repeal. California, or any other state, now may protect its liquor indust'y un- der an amendment which was in- tended to help smash the industry in dry states. LABOR FEARS BOOMERANG Often cited is the 14th amend- ment prohibiting any state from depriving “any person of life, lib- erty or property, without due pro- cess of law.”” It was intended to protect negroes after they were freed from slave plantations. under the widespread wing of the protective “due process” grown a corporate structure of tre- mendous proportions. Even labor, most eager for legis- lative social remedies, is reputedly in a turmoil over how to phrase an amendment to get around an ob- stacle found by the Supreme Court. Labor wants Federal assurance of job security. But some leaders are asking, can an amendment do this end not at the same time be used to coerce labor, or perhaps prevent a workman changing jobs on the grounds it would upset the balance of employment?

He is however, improving rapidly HARRY LAUDER NOW IN HAWAII ISLANDS Harry Lauder, former Alaska Juneau employee and widely known 1ere, is now in Hilo, Hawaii, accord- ing to a letter received here by Al- frd Zenger of The Empire. Lauder reports Hawaii suffering from the strike but says the Islands are not feeling it as badly as Alaska due to the fact that there is more tripi- cal foods in the Islands. Lauder has established new connections at {Hilo and expects to make the Is- lands his home in the future. the | i | PARIS PREFERS TOUCH OF GOLD FOR CHRISTMAS By ALICE MAXWELL PARIS, Dec. 17.—French party frocks for the 1936 Christmas sea- son, will gpaykle with Parisian elegance and scintillate with jet spangles, gold embroideries and jewel-studded clasps. Evening dresses destined to grace holiday fetes give luxury the right- of-way. Gold embroideries cluster on lustrous pastel-colored satin gowns. Gold braids and laces tone up dusky velvets with medieval brillance. For the reveillon parties, where chic Parisians will gather on Christmas eve, filmy black frocks in tulle and lace incrusted with wide bands of flashing jet spangles are shown. Toreador jackets to cover white shoulders rising above low-cut bodices are massed with sequins. Turkish Trousers Rainbow chiffon frocks, blending three delicate shades, will claim space on dance floors beside crisp, wide-skirted black organzas, trim- med in gold braid nail heads and banded with self-ruching. From cocktail buffets to gllsten- ing supper tables, gowfs in the Grecian style will step along with Turkish-trousered frocks. Both are fashioned of sheer crepes #hd.ide~ pend on drapery for their fine et'-‘ fects. The bustle decade is revived in, back-draped, tight-skirted gowns! ending in split trains and made ot' stiff moires in coral, mauve, per- venche or turquoise. Jeweled brooches clasp halter| necks and diamond clips flash from | square decolletes. Sashes add grace to numerous lrrocks. Many fall nearly to the floor and often partially drape a high slit in the form-clinging skirt.| Hem-lines, rounding up in front almost to the knee, highlight dainty hose and sandals of colored crepe trimmed in gold or made emtrel}” of gilded leathers. l Black Velvet Ensembles Belts take the form of rope gir- dles in heavy gold cord—or jewel- studded, gold - embroidered corse- lets. i Christmas party elegance is ac- cented in black velvet ensembles which have three-quarter-length, | flared coats trimmed in wide bands of silver fox. Headdresses feature such orna- ments as two black paradise plumes or a single bright quill, curved. into a bandeau. Triangles iof lace peasant fashion for outdoors and slipped over the shoulders indaol!. are popular. and chiffon, tied with the chin in ||} Daily Cross-word Puzzle 13. Bark of a trec used ACROSS .
