SHOULD EAT GRASS Man may not be wiser than animals in his refusal to eat grass, according to recommen dations of one scientist in an address to the American Chem ical Society. C. F. Schnabel thinks grass a good substitute for spinach and carrots, espe cially for those who cannot af ford green vegetables when they are expensive. This gentleman reported the discovery that young cereal grasses, such as oats, wheat, barley and rye, when cut prior to jointing in twenty days, had a biologic value from two hun dred to five hundred per cent, greater than any of the twenty common vegetables. The dried grass, he says, smells and tastes like malted milk. As far as we are personally concern ed, before the scientist made his report, we could have told anybody that grass would be preferable to spinach. Mighty Casey Tod. WASHINGTON . . . Daniel M.

Henderson, Tax Collector, Duplin County 1 - ATTY. GENERAL LEAVES RUM TANGLE TO COURT Raleigh, May 16.—Attorney General A. A. F. Seawell yes terday announced he would not rule on the constitutional ity of the local bills by which the late Legislature authoriz ed the sale of liquor in 18 counties, on 'the condition the counties voted wet. “As the Supreme Court un doubtedly will be asked to set tle the question within a very short time, which ever I might rule, I think it would be pre sumptious of me to say how I think they will decide,” ex plained Mr. Seawell. He added that the written request for a ruling which tie expected from the commission ers of one of the counties had not been made but that the board had gone ahead and call ed a liquor election without bothering about the Constitu tion. Mr. Seawell had been quoted on the floor of the House of Representatives, during the li quor debate, as saying he be lieved the law was constitu tional. Later he explained, however, that his bad been merely a “horse-back opinion,” given on the street with no thought it would he quoted. At the time he had not even read the bill and since then has not found the time to make the stu dy necessary to an opinion in such a “hair line”, controver sial matter. That the local liquor bills would be declared unconstitu tional by the Supreme Court, in so far as liquor sales are con cerned, was the consensus yes terday of those who were in closest touch with the situa tion. Even lawyers who believed that the court could rule either way with impunity and in di rect accord with other opinions on kindred, hair-line cases thought the chances were that they would turn thumbs down on counties going into the whiskey business. Such a de cision, in the opinion of most 'of the executive officers of the State government, would be in the interest of the welfare of the State. It is not the legal sale of li quor they are worrying about, it is the uncontrolled sale by the county governments. But if the majority opinion was that the county sales would not be allowed, there was a wide difference of opin ion as to that section of the new, 17-county liquor bill which seemed to authorize any body to bring as much as four quarts into the State. Some were sure that it would be ruled out along with the rest of the bill, as it was “ap parent” that the bill intended to refer to bringing liquor in to the wet counties, not the State as a whole. But some very good constitutional law yers, judging by their reputa tion and recognition, were_just as strong in the belief that ■vfrhat the Legislature actually did was to legalize the trans portation, up to four quarts, of “Virginia liquor,” or that from some other state, and nothing else. In the meantime the atten tion of hotel and restaurant men, grocers and druggists all over the State was turned to the wine bill. There seemed no doubt that the sale of na turally usually h*ve a maximi holic content of about 14 cent but sometimes go__ 20 per cent—was legal, al though “on premise” consump tion was limited to hotels and cafes. The question was whe ther the Legislature had a con stitutional right to do what it tried to do, limit the wines to those made in North Carolina. Many doubted it and this ques tion, also, is due for official de cision. “We will begin serving wines with meals within U0 days,” sfliid Roland Mumford, mana ger of the Sir Walter HoteL He added that the hotel was waiting for a decision as to what wines it could sell before stocking up.
