by Senator Harding was substituted for
the entire prohibition committee amend
ment BY vote of 81 TO 50.
Under the new amendment the presi-
dent is empowered to make regulations
concerning prohibition in the army.
The question whether to make the
new army to be conscripted bone-dry
caused a bitter fight in the senate late
this afternoon.
Before the legislative snarl was over
the senate had voted, 80 to4S, against
tabling the prohibition question, and had
adopted Senator Underwood's amendment
10 Senator McKellar's amendment. The
Underwood amendment adopted by a roll
call vote OF as to'4S, would make con-
gress bone-dry.
The committee had offered an amend
ment making the army dry. Senator
Mcclellan offered another late this after
noon making the amendment more dras-
tic. Mckellar's amendment to the COM
mittee amendment was adopted, 81 to 80.
Then Senator Underwood offered an
amendment to the Mcclellan amendment
making the act apply to members of
congress as we'll
McKeilars amendment would make it
a crime punishable by a heavy penalty
to give or sell to officers or any person
connected with the army, whether on or
off duty.
Under the Underwood amendment, it
would be a crime carrying a severe PEN
atty TO give or sell a federal legislator

amendment for the welfare Of the ma

Senator Hoke Smith assailed the
amendment as bringing ridicule upon
what we've already done"
That members of the cabinet should be
included in the prohibition was sug-
gested by Senator Thomas. of Colorado.
On the theory that the clear-headed-
ness of everybody ought to be as
sured during the war, another amend
ment was offered to prohibit the sale
or gift of liquor to all federal officials
including the president and vice presi-
dent and the diplomatic corps.

verdict finding there was no evidence

premeditated cause, nor does any of the
evidence submitted point definitely to
any other cause.
The verdict includes the statement

A Frog and Golf.

How would you like to be a frog
a nice little shiny green and black
and yellow frog, and live by a brook?
There once was a little frog who
lived in such a hole and he thought
it was great fun to be a frog and
that he lived in the very incest frog
hole in the whole world.
It's really very nice feeling, you
know, to think you live in the very
best hole in the world.
So he was very happy all the days.
Any time he wanted to take swim
he just gave one big hop and-bingoi
he was in the water. Or if ne wanted
something to eat, as he usually did,
he lay under some leaves and then
jumped out to snatch the flies and
insects that lowered above the water.
One day big bullfrog came along
and saw the little frog-he noticed
frog seemed and it made him cross.
ugh he croaked, what an aw-
full place to live
(Some frogs like to croak, you
know; they pretend they have 20, but
really they like to. So they croak all
they live and they die croaking)
"Oh, do you think it's awful:" ex-
claimed the cheerful little frog. Il
think it's fine place and 1 like to
live here
well. you'll be sorry some day."
croaked the big frog.
Il don't see why" answered the
little one.
IF you would only explore around
the world same as L do. you would
know why" And the bullfrog blew
himself up big and fat as Tho what
a very important person he was and
how hard it would be for the world
to get on without him -fS
You see," he condescended to eX-
plain, your hole is right in the mid
die of a golf course and some day
you'll get hit by one of those awful
golf balls and then you'll he dead
croak, croak."
What is a golf ball like?" asked
the little frog.
Il don't know exactly" adrcitted
the bullfrog, but my second cousin
knows of a frog that saw one once
and so I know they are very bad,
croak, croak."
We'll. I'm not afraid" laughed the
little frog, and the big frog, disgusted
went croaking down the creek
So the little frog lived very hap
PLY in his nice little hole till ore day
something did happen.
A nice round white golf ball rolled
down the hill, bounced over the creek
and into a clump of deep grass just
where the frog lived.
