...effort to unearth Supreme Court decisions which would bear directly on the issue. Precedent. In 1920 Elihu Root argued the brewers' case before the Supreme Court. According to Judge Clark, Mr. Root invoked the loth Amendment against the 18th only to show that Prohibition was a "reserved" or forbidden power for the Federal Government, but not to question the validity of its ratification. Mr. Root, said Judge Clark, "proceeded on assumptions entirely foreign to the present controversy." The Anti-Saloon League, on the other hand, insisted that Mr. Root had used the loth Amendment just as it was used...
Congress was last week asked to pass a measure allowing corporations to deduct from their income tax all sums which they give for charitable, social-welfare or unemployment-relief purposes. Individuals already have this exemption. Corporations heretofore have been forbidden it. They pay a flat 12% income tax, whereas individuals pay up to 25%.

...Secretary Jahncke's immediate predecessor, Theodore Douglas Robinson, take an arrest and confiscation which he underwent last week at Nogales, Mexico.

Consul, crossed the border irate and without...
...designing of college buildings for St. Paul's College at Tokyo, and for Yale-in-China at Changsha, the latter group being an adaptation of Chinese architecture. It is in connection with this work that Mr. Murphy derived his inspiration for the careful study of the buildings of the "Forbidden City" at Peking, which led to his permanent interest in the adaptation of the old architecture of China to modern needs. This has not only been a study in theory but in actual practice, including as varied subjects as banks, office buildings, college groups and similar designs...
Briefly, graduate students and fellows of Yale have suddenly, and without warning or precedent, been forbidden to use alcohol from the laboratories for the purpose of beverages, now and forever more. After all, this is rather a tough situation down at Yale. They have always been lead to believe that they could count on those laboratories. No wonder they think it's a sin and a shameful waste. Harvard men may even be a little worried themselves, all except those who are smart enough to realize that forewarned is forearmed, and, according to a current rumor, intend to go down...
