To Introduce Bill For Purchase Of Mammoth Cave (By Associated Press) Louisville, Ky., March 4. Unless the government acts soon a will, with a strange request; may crevent the purchase of Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, as a national park. This was pointed out by Stephen T. Mather, director of national parks, in a report recently Issued. A move for the purchase of the Cave as a National park Is now under way and has been urged upon congress for action. "The 3,000 acres sought for the park purposes at the entrance to Mam moth Cave," says Mr. Mather's report, are in private hands under the terms of a famous will which dictated that the land must be held in trust until such time as the death of the last of the named heirs occurs, when It is to be sold at public auction In its entirety. "Because of the advar.ged age of two surviving heirs, it may be expected that it will not be long before this world-famed cavern will be sold under the hammer,- and unleemie. -weans are found to take It over nationally at that time either through Congres sional approprlaion or through dona tion of some public-spirited Individual or organization, the cave will be lost for all time as a national park poa sibility and will continue to be priv ately exploited." "I trust Congress will make an ception In its evident, policy not to utilize public funds in the acquisi tion of park areas by purchase of the Great Mammoth Cave of Kentucky Harold Lloyd In "Now or Never" Vulgar is a word that has never been applied to the comedies of Harold Lloyd, the newest of which, "Iow or Never," is showing at tho Acme Theatre today. This Is in deed a distinction and a deserved one. Harold Lloyd believes it Is not necessary to be vulgar to be funny, In fact, he does not see fun In vulgarity, and, furthermore, he be lieves there are enough people in the world who think the same to warrant making clean comedies. That his faith in the wholesome tastes of the public is Justified is proven by his marvelous rise to the top of a ladder where the going was not only steep, but crowded. After little more than a year of special two-reel comedy features, Harold Lloyd Is recognized as the screen's cleverest and most talented comedian. "Now or Never" Is Harold Lloyd's first comedy of a new series under a new contract with Associated Ex hibitors. As usual, he is supported by beautiful Mildred Davis. A new assistant Is four-year-old Anna Mny Bilson, a child tor whom a great future is predicted.

The Women suffrage or Nineteenth amendment to the constitution was challenged' In the Supreme Court in proceedings Insti tuted by Charles 8. Falrcloth of New York, for himself and In behalf of the American ConslUtutlor.al League, to enjoin the Secretary of State from Is suing and the Attorney General from enforcing a proclamation declaring the ratification of the amendment, acd by Oscar Loser and other citlxens of Maryland, constituting an ' organisa tion known as the "Maryland; League for State Defense.". The former pro ceedings were based on the ground that the amendment had , not , been validly- adopt ; and -the- tatter- that the amendment was unconstitutional. The Federal courts in ths District of Columbia and the State courts in Maryland, where the cases, respec lively, were originally brought ruled against the objections to ths amend ment. In the oral arguments In ths Supreme Court in the Falrcloth case, the government contended that ths Secretary of State having issued ths ratification proclamation there was nothing to restrain, and that ths case therefore became moot, not present- leg a controversy for Judicial decision. In the Leser case, the government acknowledged that the proceedings had been Instituted by voters who bad sufficient Interest to warrant their presence In court, but that ths issue raised was political, one tor decision by Congress or for settlement In some other avenue than by adjudication In tho courts. While the State of Mary land had refused to ratify the amend ment, it was pointed1 out the Stats also refused to question Its constitu tionality. The power of Congress to propose the amendment to the State legisla tures for ratification was assailed by Its oponents on the ground that ths people reserved to themselves in their State constitutions the right to reg ulate suffrage, and that the Federal government legally could not have anything whatever to do with chang ing the "sovereign power" embodied in suffrage qualifications. The people were not setting up sn amending agency for their own des truction." the opponents contenaea, asserting that in limiting Federal jurisdiction the "sovereign people did not intend that their agents conducting theFederal Government, should have the power to destroy them. Follow ing this line of argument It was argu ed that the people alone by amend ments to their 8tate constitutions or by a constitutional convention called for the purpose could extend or abridge their sovereignty. The Fifteenth or race su rage amend ment, adopted after the war between the states, was not a precenent. It was asserted, by theopponects because H was an expression of the "results of revolution, acquiesced In by all the people, for the "reconstruction" of the Nation, by extending to ths negro race freedom and jualtty, "for which the war was fought" Any other method "for permanently registering the Inexorable decree of the civil war would have been equally effective," It was argued.
