Question Looms Up as National
Issue in the Very Near
Future. Say Many Leaders
in Washington.
Suggested Amendment to Con-
stitution is Now Pending in
Committees in Both Houses
of the National Legisla-
ture.

WASHINGTON, Feb, s.-The
spread of the prohibition sentiment
In the United States in the last year
has made a deep impression on lead
ers in congress. The events of that
period, when viewed in the light of
perance advocates have set for them
selves in the Immediate future, are
causing a lot of serious thinking and
some anxiety on the part of mem
their noses.
In fact many OF the leaders in the
national legislature believe they al
ready see the prohibition question
looming as a national issue. They
fear the time Is nearing when con-
stitutional amendment. providing for
national prohibition will be submitted
to congress for a referendum of the
States.
Pending Amendment.
Such an amendment is now pend
Ing in both the house and the SEN
ate and the promotion of it through
congress lis the accomplishment to-
ward which all the anti-rum forces
are looking most hopefully
1t has long been a matter Of COM
ment In Washington that the only
way In which temperance legislation
can be prevented in congress Is by
holding the bills in committee and
keeping them from the floor of the
house or senate. When the average
congressman Is face to face with the
liquor question. and a delegation OF

Red Letter Events.
That. at least, was the history OF
the two most important developments
Of the last year in congress. The
passage Of the Jones-Works excise
law for the District OF Columbia, and
the enactment of the Webb Kenyon
law to prohibit the shipment or H.
auor into prohibition territory for
sale. were regarded by the temper
ance crusaders as red letter events
on their last years calendar.
The ease with which the passa sc
Of these laws has been obtained has
left it's impression on congress. too
Few members dared to oppose them
in the open and both went through
by overwhelming votes, the Webb
Kenyon measure over the veto OF

TO SAVE MILLIONS
In CITRUS CROP
Method Of Preserving Orange
Lemon and Lime Juices u
Discovered

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2S.-Flye
million dollars at least will be saved
annually to the citrus fruit Industry
through the discovery, made by
Charles e. Burke, OF the University OF
CALIFORNIA; department of chemistry,
furnishing ar inexpensive process for
preserving orange. lemon and lime
juices.
DR.. Burke has succeeded, after ex.
haustive experimentation extending
over two years, In perfecting a pro-
cess whereby the fluids OF citrus fruit
are retained as pure and wholesome
as first drawn from those fruits.
He uses no alcoholic base, HIS pro
cess being a chemical and mechanical
filtration which extracts all solid mat.
ter, leaving the juice pure and really
clearer than when first squeezed from
the fruit.
DR.. Burke points out that as citrus
growers raise the lemon for its juices.
the extraction Of the early stages of
the handling OF the fruit would mean
an immediate saving In the handling
or the product, as the cost Of freight
on pulp. and the cost OF picking, Gull

mated. The juices could be bottled In
handy and compact size and shipped
everywhere.
The greater part of waste In hand.
ling citrus fruits, according to DR..
Burke. comes from over-production,
culling, bruising and the failure TO
market before the product becomes
over-ripe. Through the practical ap-
plication of the new process. pure
orange juice, prepared according to
Dr. Burkes formula, has retained its
original flavor and has been pro-
nounced perfect by horticultural ex-
perts.
The s40.000.000 annual citrus fruit
crop NJ California IL wasted each year
from to 20 per cent through neces-
sary processes Of handling. The loss
represents millions OF dollars, the
greater portion OF which could be saw
ed under the application of DIT.
