BLAMES GREEN MELONS
AND NOT FERTILIZER

washington's gardening enthusiasts
ought to learn how TO eat cantaloupes
while they're learning how to grow
them.
That's the advice Of DR.. William e.

who shot full OF holes today the
theory that fertilizer used for grow
ing cantaloupes In local gardens IL
making hundreds of people ILL.,
The increase during the present
summer in the number OF persons who
blame cantaloupes for their sudden
attacks OF illness, Is probably due to
the fact that they couldn't w4it for
their cantaloupes to get ripe. -

DRY ISSUE MAY BE
PUT UP TOSTkTES.
At THIS SESSION

Submission to the States OF a pro-
posed national prohibition amend
ment is a serious possibility at this
session OF Congress.
Senator Sheppard of Texas, in
charge of this proposed amendment,
expects today to get an agreement
for q vote early next week. Tuesday
is suggested
II such an agreement is obtained
Senator Sheppard and other dry
leaders of the Senate predict that
two-thirds OF the Senators will vote
Tor submission.
Moreover, II the Senatae votes for
submission, the dry forces in the
House assert they can carry II
through that body, although the situa-
ton there is close.
For some days II has been apparent
that the wet leaders in the Senate
were getting ready to consent to a
vote on the Sheppard measure. SEN
ator Penrose intimated 1t strongly
more than a week ago when the food
control bill was under discussion
No Further Objection.
Yesterday, Senator Lodge objected
to a unanimous consent agreement for
a vote because Senator Penrose was
absent. but at a conference later OF
the anti-prohibition leaders II was de-
cided not to offer further objections
to fixing q time for voting.
The reasons which have impelled
the anti-prohibition leaders to this
decision are simple.
In q word, they fear bone dry"
legislation in Congress as q war
measure, and they believe that II n
proposed amendment Is submitted II
will tend to satisfy many OF the dry
forces, and thus tend to defer, and
perhaps to prevent, "bone dry" legis-
iation.
On the other hand, It would take
three-fourths OF the States to ratify q
prohibition amendment
Can Block Measure.
The wet forces hope to be able in-
definitely to prevent thirteen States
from voting dry and so long as. they
can do this they can block national
prohibition through constitutional
amendment. In any event, ratification
would require two or three years at
the least because some Of the legis-
latures will not meet until 1918.
The Sheppard amendment pro-
hibits manufacture and sale OF
liquors anywhere in the United States
or its subdivisions. Twenty-six
States have already gone dry. For
control of the ten more States need
ed to make up the thirty-slx required
for ratification, there would be a
tremendous struggle.

As appears from the table, France,
Italy, Russia and Belgium were self
supporting, while the United Kingdom
drew its entire sugar supply from ey-
terror sources. The supply of the Unit
ed Kingdom came to the amount Of
about 10 per cent from countries from
which II is now cut off by the war.
Ten per cent came from the East In
dies and 20 per cent from the United
States and the West Indies.
The prospective 1913 crop in France
has diminished to 207000 tons and
that of Italy to 10000 tons, and they
are therefore short 100000 tons. The
displacement of United Kingdom sup
plies amounts to 1,435,000 tons; and
therefore, in total, these three allied
countries must import about 100000
tons in order to maintain their normal
consumption. OF this, 100000 tons
must come from new sources.

There has been some complaint of
