T Webrpw PROPOSESATICK ONVOLSTEAD LAW Maryland State Senator, in Resolution, Asks Change Be Made by Congress. BALTIMORE, March 23.—In the senate yesterday, Senator Prick of Baltimore city introduced a joint reso- lutfon requesting. Co; ss to amend the national prohibiflén law o as to “preserve the right of trial by jury, to permit the use of malt liquors for medicinal purposes, and to permit the manufacture, sale and use for bever- age purposes of non-intoxicating beverages containing up to 3% per cent of alcohol by weight.” Duty of State. The resolution declares that the eighteenth amendment “does not im- pose upon the legislature of Maryland or the legislature- of any other state any obligation or duty to undertake the enforcement of any law which it may not deem appropriate for the en- forcement of the amendment.” The resolution then continues: “If Congress chooses to pass a law ‘which’ this legislature, in the exercise’ of its independent judgment, does not consider to be appropriate or proper for the enforcement of this amend- ment—such a law as this assembly would never have dreamed of enact- ing—then Congress should enforce its own law, and not expect this assembly to submit to the humillation and ignominy of imposing upon the law officers of this state the obligation of enforcing such a law. “The so-called Volstead law, re- VIENNA GIRLS FOOLED BY AMERICANS’ ADS SEEKING MATRIMONY VIENNA, March 1.—Vienna girls are being warned not to be mis- led by marriage advertisements from America. Half dozen alleged cases of deception that are cited by Der Morgan, which asserts they are “but a few out of hundreds” in which Austrian women have gone to America to marry. One case described is that of a daughter of & “high oficial” who answered an advertisement in & Vienna paper stating that an en- gineer' in Chicago desired to wed™ . & pretty educated Viennese. In German the word engineer always means a professional titie and is never applied to mechanlcs. When she arrived she found the man was a metal worker. He soon lw his job and the giris' parents h to sacrifice even their house- hold goods to send her money to return. Another Instance is recited in which the advertisement gontain- ed the phrase: “An American (dark), wishes to marry,” etc. The prospective groom was a negro. Usually, says the paper, the ad- vertisements describe the man as earning so many million crowns a month, which the woman finds to mean virtually nothing in Amer- ican standards. such a law. ‘It is a law such as no lpgislature of Maryland would ever have had the hardthood to enact. “Amendment Spirit Violated.” “It s the opinion of this assembly that no beverage containing 3% per cent of .alcohol by weight, or less, can bé said to be intoxicating in fact, and any legislation by the Congress which prohibits the manufacture, sale or use of such beverages, or prohibits the use of malt liquors for medicinal purposes, violates the spirit of the eighteenth amendment, agd was beyond the expectation of our people when the assembly, in 1918, ratified the sail eighteenth amendment. Be it, therefore, “Resolved by the senate and house of delegates of Maryland, that the Congress of the United States be and is hereby requested to amend the national prohibition act so as to preserve the right of trial by jury, to permit the use ol malt liquors for medicinal purposes, and to permit the manufacture, sale and use for beverage purposes of non-intoxicat- ing beverages oontaining 3% - per cent of alcohol by weight.” —_— DIVORCE BARS LET DOWN.

Moreover, the wife could not bring ac- tion uniess she deposited five pounds with the court.

If unable to deposit flve pounds with the court, it will be possible for her to obtain an or- der for her husband to pay the amount. 'SEEK FUNERAL CHEER.
