WANTS DECREE ON BEER.
Representative Anderson Seeks In
formation From Secre tary Wilson.

Representative Anderson of Minnesota
being determined 10 get an answer to
the query What is beer" has intro
duced resolution into the House OF
directing that Secretary
Wilson OF the Department OF Agriculture
shall send to the House all the data on
the subject collected by DIR. Wiley. The
question as TO what beer really is was
answered some time ago. but
barley growers and brewers are still agi-
tating the subject. The real power be-
hind the Anderson resolution is the Con-
sumers' League. which says that beer
has never been put within the scope Of
the pure food law.
The Anderson resolution charges by i'm
plication that powerful influences have
been at work to keep beer outside of the
law-hence the existence of near-beer
beverages masQuerading as the raj thing
and creating great dissatisfaction among
the beer-loving citizens of the United
States The resolution also implies that
because there Is SO much OF this near
beer being sold in bottles and kegs and
other convenient containers. a tremen-
dous amount of misbranding is going on
and II is now time to stop it, The reso-
luton asks Secretary Wilson the direct
question why no misbranding decree has
been made covering beer.

SAY CONTROL Of CANAL
IS DOMESTIC PROBLEM
Senators Bradley and Massey
Declare England Has Moth
ing to Do With 1t.

Great Britain has no right to partici-
pate in an understanding regarding the
operation and control of the Panama
canal, and the regulations imposed by the
United States are not subject to review
by an International court because the
control Of the waterway is q domestic
problem.
Such were the views advanced in the
Senate yesterday afternoon by Senators
Bradley of Kentucky and Massey of Ne
vada, two advocates of the proposition to
give American coastwise shipping the
preference in canal tolls. 1t was argued
that the purchase of the Canal Zone re-
moved the subject from international con-
sideration.
Senator Bradley declared the people of
the United States would not have sane
toned the spending of $4OO. 100000 to build
the canal had they believed they were to
have no rights there that were not en-
joyed by all other nations of the world.
lie contended that the United States had
the right under the treaty to protect its
own interests and its own shipping. and
claimed that since the United States had
of the canal became a domestic question.
and one which should not be submitted to
an international court.
Pledge of Equality"
The pledge Of equality to all nations,
Senator Bradley said. meant that the
United States would give equal treatment
to all nations in the use Of the canal.
while reserving the right to protect itself.
The United States adopted the rules of
the treaty. he said. to apply to all other
nations. but not to itself.
The fact that England had entered no
protest against fertilization of the canal,
Senator Bradley said. was evidence that
she recognizes the right of the United
StatesN under the treaty to protect its
own interests.
NO one regards the honor of our coun-
try more than t. he said. but a nation
cannot be bound under treaty to destroy

WOULD ABOLISH THE ROD
Representative Wilson Has Bill
to Stop Whipping in the
Schools.

Well. schoolboys, three cheers for Rep
resentative Wilson OF Pennsylvania, who
stopped In the House yesterday in the
heat OF debate on the rise Of the price Of
anthracite coal to drop into the wire bas-
ket by Speaker Clark's desk a bill to
prohibit corporal punishment in the
schools Of the District of Columbia II
his bill becomes a law. it will be a grave
misdemeanor for a teacher to spank an
Grant pupil.
Representative Wilson used to be a boy
himself. over in Scotland, where they still
wear kilties and eat oatmeal, and they
say that the schoolmaster had a birch
that warmed the bare legs of every little
Scotch laddie who attended school near
the wee auld kirk in Blantyre. One day
little Willie Wilson (for such is his true
Scotch name) put a pin in his teachers
chair. and the resulting switching made
him promise that when he grew up he
would go to parliament and have all
teachers put in prison on sight.
Fate interviewed, in the nature OF an
emigration TO America. So when the little
Willie grew up, he couldn't go to parlia-
rnent. but he did find his way to Congress-
and yesterday he started to keep his
promise made behind the schoolhouse on
the heather so many years ago.
The rules covering switchines, spank
lngs and other variegated and oft-neesied
hckinGs in the public schools of the Dis
rrict of Columbia require that the offense
be an aggravated one, that the teacher
shall temper justice with mercy, that a
witness be on hand to see her ply the
birch and that report be made Of the
bout 70 the superintendent of schools
Last year about dozen licl1ings a month
