PROHIBITION BILL COMES
UP AGAIN IN SENATE

The prohibition bill bobbed up again
unexpectedly in the senate yesterday
afternoon having been reported favor
ably Monday by the committee on ju-
dietary.
Chaplin, who introduced it said that
the bill was practically a copy OF the
initiative act with the exception of an
added section making it operative on
March l, 1918, and amending the first

section defining liquor" by inserting
words that would not bar certain soft
drinks coming within the malt
class.
Senator Harrington said the bill. II
passed would have to go on the ticket
with the initiative measure. He took
the position that it must be treated as
a substitute for the initiative measure.
He said that for this reason it should
be amended so as to become effective
in 1919. after the election on which II
would be vote upon. Huskey sup
ported this contention and on his
motion the bill was re-referred to the
judiciary committee.

FLOATING Drydoeko.

Our largest floating dock Is the Dew
ey, at the 0longapo naval station, in the
Philippine Islands. Floating drydocks
are SO arranged as to lift n big battle
ship bodily from the water. When it
is desired TO dock a vessel the floating
dock is sunk by admitting water to It,
and the ship is floated over It, When
the ship is in the proper place over the
dock the water Is pumped out, and 1t
rises, lifting the ship with it. When
it is desired TO renoat the ship the
dock is sunk again by admitting water,
and the ship is hauled off. There are
side walls to the dock which remain
partly above water. In these are To-
Gated the pumping machinery, and on
them the docking gangs work. The
Dewey is in three sections, OF which
the two small end sections lift the
large central section and are them
selves lifted by it.
