BIRD TREATY v.JITH DOMINION 1 aaiiMi Expert Finds That Legislation Pre- dudes Any Question as to the '.A* if Federal Laws Con atltutionallty. BEFORE SUPREME COURT JYM*SM»SSS I Investigation Into Question Is Made by William S. Haskell, Coun Kjj sel for the Game- JfMin A«*#c,atl n'' I NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—As soon as the treaty providing protection for birds that migrate between Canada and the United States was ratified the question that became uppermost in the minds of those interested in wild life protection, was whether this action precluded any further question as to the constitutionality of the fed eral law for the protection of migra tory birds. Treaty and law are prac tically the same In their provisions in so far a« this country Is concerned and the federal law Is now before the United States supreme court on an appeal from a decision which pro nounced It unconstitutional.. William S. Haskell, counsel of the American Game Protective associa tion of New York City, has Just com pleted an exhaustive study of the question and has come to the con clusion that there is no doubt that the treaty does preclude any question as to the law's constitutionality. Mr. Haskell states that the supreme court in construing Article VI, clause 2 of the constitution, which provides that all such treaties shall be the supreme law of the land, has decid ed that beyond question the states surrendered to the federal govern ment the treaty making power, there by making a treaty a law binding within the territorial limits of each state and requiring tne judges in every state to recognize its provis ions. The treaty, therefore, being consti tutional, and it being the duty of the United States to carry its provisions into efTect, any law which enforces the treaty must be recognized as valid. The agreements in the treaty are identical with the regulations made under the law so that the treaty is given effect through the law. With out the law there would be no machin ery to carry into effect the treaty agreements and therefore it is highly improbable that the court will declare jthe law unconstitutional. I It would be helpful for the moral I effect on those who have doubted the I constitutionality of the law, if the {supreme court would consider the matter and express its opinion that as the law is required to carry out the treaty agreements, it can no longer be questioned or disregarded, and it is to be hoped that the department of justice will be able to obtain such an expression from the court.

Cooper Has Novel Pictures Dem onstrating Engine, at Grand Opera Houee Wednesday. 1 1 Picture yourself standing inside an automobile motor—imagine yourself gazing at close range on the hereto fore mysterious "whys" and "where fores" of what makes the wheels go round in that small but formidable space underneath the hood on the car you drive. This is a "thrill" in store for Keo kuk motorists who attend the lecture on the Knight sleeve valve motor by J. H. Cooper next Wednesday evening at the Grand opera house. Vividly Shown. With the aid of the science of motography Mr. Cooper has been able to produce a series of motion pic ture views of the Knight motor in magnified form. When projected on the screen the audience almost ex pects to behold the immortal Gulliver ride out into the picture on the back of his favorite giant. Because of the Gulliver-like effect, every detail in the parts of the Knight motor is brought out just as the works of your watch would be brought out were they magnified to a size equal that of an automobile. "And this," says L. Irwin, president of the Overland-Irwin Co., under whose auspices the lecture Is to be held, "is only one of the treats which Mr. Cooper haB in store. In Simple Language. "The lighting effects in the studio where the pictures were made are said by film men to have been excep tionally good.

The lecturer has prepared for this purpose a chart which in turn has been filmed in the studios of the Lyman-Howe company, the effect on the screen being new in the science of motography and very interesting to the public. MAY CHANGE LORD'S PRAYER Episcopal Convention Expected to Cut Word "Obey" Out of the Mar riage Ceremony. (By United Press) ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 10.—The Ten Commandments, the marriage cere mony and the Lord's Prayer as they have stood through the ageg are to be changed by the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church which convenes here tomorrow If the reports of committees and sub-commttees are endorsed. In the marriage ceremony the committee will recommend that the word "Obey" in the bride's promise be replaced by "Keep," that the giving away of the bride be omitted entirely I and the groom's promise to "endow" I the bride "with all his worldly goods," be eliminated. A committee will rec ommend that the commandments be shortened by the omission of the reas on for their observance. The recom mendation will be based on the fact tha. the reasons were peculiar to the fHE DAILY GATE CITY THE WHOLE BODY NEEDS PURE BLOOD The bones, the muscles, and all th? organs of the body depend for their strength and tone and healthy action on pure blood.

The comjnlttee on revising the Lord's Prayer will recommend the elimination of the words, "For Thine is the King dom and the Power and the Glory For ever." In requesting the omission the committee will say the words consti tute a part of the Doxology added by early translators and that they are not in the original text of Holy Scriptures. The omiBsion would make the prayer identical with the Roman Catholic version. The same committee will probably ask the elimination from the Book of Common Prayers the prayers for "Jews, infidels and Turks," The proposal is based on tlje ground that it is unwarranted to class the Jews with the others. A canon prohibiting marriage when either party to the con tract has a wife or husband living and has been divorced for any cause aris ing after marriage will be presented for action.

Most of the boys and girls who have gone from Keokuk to the various colleges and universities have made fraternities and sororities. There is one men's fraternity, Phi Delta Theta, which has one woman member. It came about- in this way. In one of the colleges of the south, I've forgotten just which It was, a girl visited her brother, who belonged to Phi. Delta Theta, during commencement. One afternoon she went into her brpther's room to take a nap. The bed was in an alcove and she slept soundly, weary with the festivities of com mencement. She was awakened by hearing voices beyond the curtain of the alcove and listened to hear who it was. She came to the realization that the Phi boys were initiating a new member. She was panic-stricken tor a few moments and hardly knew what to do. Finally she called her brother, which stopped the ceremony mid way. She had heard too much to be turned loose without some restraint, so the boys, after some discussion, decided to give her the oath of the fraternity and of secrecy so Bhe be came the one woman member of a fra ternity for men. Here's a conundrum and it's a good one. Which is the heavier Taft or Wilson? The answer is the full name of one of the presidents of the United States. There is a book, which haB been one of the season's best sellers, a book which every woman who has a daugh ter ought to read—The Bent Twig, by Dorothy Canfield. It Is a good book for girls themselves to read. It is a book which holds the reader's in terest and teaches a wholesome les son. There are several copies of it in the public library. In the years that are gone, before the great war put a bar on European travel, among the Interesting places visited by tourists were the cathe drals. Visitors studied them archi tecturally or historically, or looked upon them as a sort of a museum or visited them idly as all in the days work of sight seeing. Recently, par ticularly in England, the people are beginning to think of their cathedrals as houses of God, and not as examples of Gothic architecture. So strong is the sentiment on the subject that the London Times expresses a belief that the cathedrals will come again to be what they were built for—places of worship, and that after the war, when European travel is resumed, that those who visit the cathedrals will have to go to them In the spirit of worship, or at most ostensibly in that spirit. Most women have had the experi ence of having misfortune come to a new dress and ever after that gar ment seemed to be "hoodooed,"—ev ery time it was worn it was soiled in a new place. This happened to a Keokuk woman. She bought a hand soma piece of blue faille silk. In thk days when dresses were made in one piece. The dressmaker cut out the dress and when she came to baste the pieces together, She found that about the middle of the length of one side there was a defective place in the silk, the sort of defect that couldn't be passed over. The woman took the piece back to the merchant, who said. "I'd be awfully glad to give you an other length, "but I don't have it. I sold the last of that bolt yesterday." The woman sat down in despair— there was that expensive silk cut out and no account, unless they could match It by sending to the whole sale house. A clerk who heard the conversation, said she thought they had a remnant nearly like it. She got the piece. It was pretty nearly a match, but not exactly, and when they measured it, it was barely long enough, but the woman took it grate fully. She took it home to the seam stress and they tried It right side out and wrong side out to see in what light It would match the best and in the worry the seamstress cut the gores for the wrong side of the dress. They spent the best part of a day rectifying that mistake and late in the afternoon a neighbor came in to sym pathize and was shown the dress sewed together and they all decided that it looked first rate. Just then the neighbor's little boy, who had been playing in the snow, came in and laid his wet mittens on that dress and soaked through four thicknesses of the silk. The gloom in the room could have been cut with a knife, so deep and dark It was. The next day was given to gasoline and finally the rings around the wet Bpots were obliterated, but you can imagine that the woman never had much pleasure in wearing the dress. Mrs. James B. Diver has gathered more than a peck of hollyhook seeds from her garden on the bluff below Park Sunshine. She has divided them into seven parts which she will dis tribute to the ward schools for plant ing in the children's gardens. They make a very effective background for a garden and should be planted in the fall. There are two plants which Mrs. Diver allows to grow any place they will in her garden, one is holyhocks and the other the mullein plant. The latter she encourages be cause the birds love the seeds and of the cultivated plants. In England it is cultivated and is called there American velvet instead of mulliea.
