Curran today austalned the bone-dry law against an attack on its constitutionality. Attorneys for Adolph Kurent. of Breezy Hill, charged with violating the law. moved that the complaint be quashed on the grounds that the law is invalid. E.

Judge Curran cited the opinion of Justice Marshall that intoxicants are to be classed with explosives, poisons and diseased meat as a menace to the public. The legislature, rather than the courts.

Is to determine the scope of the exercise of police power. Judge Cur ran saio. it did not go beyond its rights In enacting the bone-dry law, he held.

State Superintendent Ross delivered an able address on the value of education and urged every parent to see that his child remained in school until his education was completed. REGISTERED MEN WILL BE DIVIDED INTO FIVE CLASSES (Continued from Page 1. Column 1.) fronted the provost marshal general and caused him much concern. "One of the most serious of these has been keeping together the great organization of the local and district boards which, from a numerical view point, is of the strength of an army division; many of these officials have been clamoring for relief pn account of the drain on their time, and the new system will make it easily possible for them to continue the duties for which they have proven themselves eminently fitted.

Most Needed Man Goes Last. "Another problem solved was the question of expediency of continuing the examination of the entire registry, thus fixing each man's status. This would have involved a medical examination of each man, whose physical condition might change from day to day, thus making this great, undertaking valueless. "Again, under the old system of exemption and discharge. It would have been necessary, if the national need required It, to vsend or the exempted men to return foK physicaLre-examlna-tion, while in the meantinW his industrial or family status might have changed, thus involving endless appeals and confusion.

"The new system fixes a man's class and calls him in his proper order when he is needed. He will be examined physically only when needed. Thus the labors of the medical officers will be called for only when required. If the nation needs a half million of men. they will respond each in his turn fixed by his class.

"The man who can least be spared, either as the head of a family or the head of a business necessary to the defense of the nation, will be the last to go. "The new plan is being made ready for the printer and will be submitted to the local and district boards in ample time to enable them to familiarize themselves with It and thus approach their next draft with a thoro knowledge of its requirements." Questionnaire la. Complete. The success of the plan depends upon the completeness of the questionnaire. The questions to be answered by the registered men have been worked out with Infinite care from the vast fund of Information gleaned from the first use of the draft machinery.

Included in the plana of the government, it is understood, is a provision which will place the services of a trained attorney at the disposal of every registrant to assist him in making his answers. Presumably all the machinery of affidavits to support claims for exemption also has been absorbed into this document, making the work of the registrant in getting his situation properly before the board for consideration far less arduous. The new plan. General Crowder points out. settles the vexing question of continuing the physical examination of registrants until all have been classified in this way.

Presumably It will be necessary to examine men under the new plan, only when called upon, or if greater speed can be secured in that way to examine and classify physically all members of the class that is under call. To Retain Rotation TV'ambera. A point not made clear In General Crowder's statement Is how the rotation numbers of the drawing to fix the order of military liability are to be applied. Since no abandonment of that means of fixing the place of each individual in any class Is announced, it seems certain that the rotation numbers of the men In any class will govern the order in which they come up. In that case, each class group would have its own order of liability list, based on the master list.

The effect would be to eliminate, in classes, men who would have been certain to have been exempted, at least temporarily, had they been called up and examined individually. Tha result of the new plan undoubtedly will be to place in the first class men who are without dependents, whose civil occupation Is not vltal'y Important to the nation's work at home, and who are physically best able to endure the hardships of war. This undoubtedly will be the largest class of the five. At the same time, however, it will bring forward a majority of the single men of the entire registration, only those who have relatives directly dependent on them or who have Im portant places in industry, being placed in later clasfes. Will Conserve Skilled Lnbr.

Presumably married men who have independent Incomes also would be placed in the first class, where the support of, the dependents in their absence was assured. The new plan will afford, also, a better opportunity of conserving skilled labor. Where men needed in the various industries are otherwise eligible for service, a means Is for i holding them back from the army under a-definite, centralised plan. Ichabods Go Dovyn in Defeat Before Heavy Kansas University Eleven by a Score of 34 to 2.

U. men were able to, score in every quarter. The only Washburn score came soon after the second Kansas touchdown, at the start of the second quarter. Caliban, heavy end of the Topeka team, broke thru when Pringle fumbled and the ball rolled behind the K. U.

line. Pringle was downed by the Washburn end before he could run out with the ball. K. V. Off to Slow Start.

Coach Olcott's men started slowly and. held back jy a twenty-yard penalty, were forced to kick at the start of the game.

Nielsen made the touchdown and Nettels kicked goal. The first quarter ended with the ball on the 11-yard line and it took fifteen seconds for K.

U. to score, Pringle again carrying the ball in a smashing play thru the line. Calihan returned 17 yards on the 43-yard punt by Lon-berg, but the Ichabods were soon forced to kick. The Jayhawker machine was soon in action again, Foster making a 7-yard gain, but Pringle was the real ground gainer and lugged the ball over on an 8-yard plunge. Block a Kick.

Score. Baker was downed' on Washburn's 8-yard line, Lonberg nailing him. On the attempt to kick Frost broke thru and grabbed the ball for a touchdown. At the start of the third quarter, with the ball on the Washburn 2-yard line, Nielsen went over the line, but K. U.

was penalized fifteen yards and the play was not allowed. On the next play, a 17-yard pass. Pringle to Lonberg, the Kansas right end caught the ball and dropped it. Washburn started a good offensive eoon after this. Perry, Hope and Captain Logan making gains, and carried the ball id the K.

U. 23-yard line. Mandeville helped the Jayhawker back field get under way a little later, the ball being carried over from the 7-yard line by Pringle. Lonberg kicked goal making the score 34 to 2. Coach Hamilton sent in substitutes in the last five minutes of play, but the game ended 'with the ball jn mldfield.

Logan Showed Up Strong. Captain Logan, at left tackle; Perry, at fullback; Hope, at left half, and Calihan. at right end, showed well for the Ichabods. Several times Logan broke thru the heavy K. U.

line and downed the man before he got started, while Perry was the only man to gain consistently. He ran eleven yards on one play. It wat Calihan's wideawake playing that resulted in Washburn's only points and he was good at stopping Pringle. Hope made one good pass to Logan for 17 yards, but the receiver was too well covered by the Jayhawkers. in the other attempt.

He punted fourteen times for an average of 32 yards. Kansas plays around the ends were generally disastrous which speaks well lor the work of both of Kennedy's ends. The one onslde kick attempted by Washburn was not fast enough and Mandeville grabbed it. C. Hutchinson was very much In the game and blocked one of" Foster's punts.

Hope attempted to kick goal from placement early in the game, but it was blocked with a loss. The Topekans played a clean game and suffered no penalties while the Kansans lost eighty-five yards by this route, mainly for holding. Line-up: Kansas. Position. Washburn.
