REAE "ESTATE. CORK AND KEG CASE - RULES BEING MADE Agents Being Instructed by Dry Bureau on Recent ' Court Decision. The..prohibition bureau is preparing instructions to enforcement agents throughout the country on ways and means to enforce the recent, so-called | cork, keg and container decision by the Supreme ‘Court of the United States. Prohibition Commissioner Doran said that ecareful consideration was being given to the decision, which makes ap- aratus for manufacture of alcoholic liquor forfeitable, and comprehensive instructions were being prepared on the | subject. As soon as- these instructions are completed they will be forwarded to all prohibition administrators for informa- tion of the entire corps of prohibition Bgents. The new decision by the Supreme | Court, Dr. Doran feels, is a powerful faztor which soon can be swung into us> generally against the big liquor sup- | 1y houses, but careful study is first eing given the Supreme Court decision to interpret carefully not only its refer- ences to what is forfeitable but also to the protection which is to be given under the law to every American home. The Supremé Court referred particu larly to that section of the Volstead act which says that no -home may be eniered without a proper warrant At the Department of Justice, officials were hesitant to discuss the new de- cision, but sc far as could be learned | there 'is no provision for sending out from the Department of Justice here any special instructions on this decision | to the United States district attorns throughout the country who will have th» responsibility ‘of ~prosecuting the cork and keg cases While a few sporadic attempts tol bring into effect the new decision have ‘bobbed up already in different parts of | *the country, here in Washington the| tendency appears to be to hold off awhile for further and more explicit instructions-on the matter from prohibi- tion headquarters and the district at- torney himself.

BY EDWIN F. COLLINS. Like the happy blackamoor of the song, America today has a rainbow round its shoulder. The people of this land of the free and home of .the brave are in the throes of a color jag, and some learned doctors frankly fear the whole move- ment may wind up in coloratura D. T, This jazz age began playing it strange symphony upon the chromatic scale right after the war—and some re- | gard it as a postlude to the war’s art of camoufiage, which fooled nearly everybody. First, the handles of broomsticks and mops, with which the mothers of a former generation had clouted com- monsense into their erring young, were painted red and green. Pots and kettles, which had so long called each othe black, soon came forth in glamorous enamel coats. Eventually the whole in- terior_of the kitchen was touched up with bright colors. Presently the glassware and linen trades fell into step and the dining | room table had its face lifted, so0 to | speak, by application of color. By and by the wallpaper dealers saw the hand- writing on the wall, and their merchan- dise took on lighter tints to match the lighter paint surfaces used in room de- coration simply to harmonize the whole with snappler dress styles for women. ‘The bedroom was next invaded, and the color range in which both beds and cove of Ta 4 bedspread of yore is headed straight for the ragbag of oblivion, housewives seem agreed Manufacturers then began to adver- colored sinks, tubs, tiling and toweling for the bath room to replace sanitary-looking white interiors which, in turn, had replaced the hooped, blue- painted wooden washtubs in which the children of the masses were given their Saturday-night scouring about 1900 A.D. How this almost universal fever to brighten-the-corner-where-you-are had completely changed the interior picture at home. Places of public amusement had joined the big decorative parade. In office, factory and store this aston- ishing phenomena registered’ itself in its | skyscraper will be a sort of architec- tural exclamation point to all this mon- key business of giving life generally so much rainbow coloration! Some $15,000,000 is to be invested in this. first modern tower of barbaric splendor in colors. Some ask: ‘How will such a fluffy- looking building stand the gaff and the grime and soot of New York or any modern city? ~ Without sunshine to bring out all tints in the picture, won't such a building be a messy-looking affair? How will it look the morning after a heavy snowfall? How is it to be illuminated after dark? Does this mean that color is going into the archi- tectural field to stay? If so, will Amer- ica’s metropolises be made over in colors? Shall American cities in a generation or two be made to look like the Bazaar de Bashibazooks or the crazy archi- tectural patchwork of the Buffalo Ex- position ~buildings? Isn't this color frenzy being carried a bit too far? In hort, ugh! And finally they say, ‘Pooh-pooh!” Blackbirds Are Green. Others say in general ridicule of this riot of color as one outstanding archi- tect said in particular, “Yes, we have no sky-blue bananas, but we can give you aimost anything else in almost any vivid color that suits your daffy fancy.” “Look at thess nice, green black: birds for the nursery!” he said.

What does the answer to this riddle portend in the future life of the United States? A dozen psychologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, all skilled in interpreting humanity’s mind, emotions and in- stincts as expressed thus in the mass, were questioned about the rush to the colors. This group’s answer is as complex as the color revolution itself, and yet each opinion fuses into general common sense. To begin with, we're Nature's Prodical of color as it is, Nature’s handiwork in the colors of Spring, Summer and Fall makes her children eternally marvel. Indulgence in love of color is one way of escaping _complexes, inhibi- tions—of having a good time. So every one strives to avoid the indictment of being a colorless personality, and this lentails the craving for excitement. | An eminent architect, a sharp on | medievalism, says the cotemporary | rush to colors isn't anything new under | j{the sun. Such lavish coloration char- acterizes medieval time: and the churches of the middle ages were deco- | rated without as well as within. Think. says he, of the luried tapestries and carpetings and royal robes and scarf: {and shawls of these and earlier times, | relics of which remain. Another more conservative architect suggested that present-day colorists may have forgotten the admonition about ‘moderation in all things,” and he pre- dicted an early slowing down of this color craze and returning popularity for | things in blacks, whites, grays, just by way of contrast and to preserve the balance. It was he who recalled the hodge-podge of the Buffalo exposition buildings, and he also is doubtful about Department, the practicability and durability of | for” the color idea, it appears.
