The ai- titude as we begin the New Year ap- paréntly is the same as in the pre- | ceding Congress, when no major legis- lation was passed directed toward regulation or restriction of legitimate business enterprise.

SEATTLE, December 19.—Liquor was not the only thing that was hit by prohibition, said Carl J. Deutsch, representative of a Japanese fan com- pany, who has just returned from the Far East. Since the advent of the Volstead era the decorated fan has almost ceased to be, he said. Before pro- hibition millions of the fans were sold, especially to brewerles, which used them for advertising purposes. “In those days,” said Deutsch. “it was quite the fad for ladies, especially when sitting in beer gardens, to cool themselves with our fans, but since the country went dry this business has dropped to almost nothing.” = California claims to have the high- est percentage of population enrolled in public schools and educational in- | sututiens of any of the States. 15 were insured through the par- | W tempts by the National legls- | | | i i | | lit | walking {with a | planted | the Treasury 1se of the re. | idge will play | i | | opened today with a distinct spirit of | presses 4 switch.
