Washington, Dec. 18-By vote of 282 to 128-more than the necessary wo-thirds-the House of Representa- to submit to the states an amendment for national prohibition.
 The resolution goes to the Senate today, when Senator Sheppard will ask that body to concur in the House amendments to the measure. It is considered certain the upper branch will acquiesce.
 When the Senate passed the Prohi- bition resolution, on Aug. 1, 1916, the period given to the states for ratif1ca- ton was six years. The House amendment makes the time limit seven years. It is to agree to this change that the Senate will be asked to act today.
 A great demonstration followed the announcement of the vote in the House. Advocates of temperance on the floor and in the galleries yelled and applauded. As the storm of re- joicing began, William Jennings Bryan entered the hall Representa- tive Webb. who led the hosts of the total abstainers arose and gave the former Secretary of State his seat.
 Col Bryan Was Busy.
 MT. Bryan had worked hard during the day, wearing a smile that could not be effaced. He was confident but taking no chances. He checked up the debaters and sent out final hurry calls for those who might become absentees. He did not leave his post until the final announcement gave him respite.
 Six hours of speeches preceded the vote. Comparatively few members

WHAT is THE SECURITY?

q. A United States Government
bond is frequently spoken OF az
best security in the world" why
Is this true?
A. Because the promise to pay a
Government bond is backed by the
faith and honor of the United
States Of America and by the tax
Ing power Of this whole country,
which is the richest nation in the
world.
q. Has the United States issued
bonds before; and, II so, has 1t ever
failed to pay all Of its bonds when
they became due?
A. This Government has issued
bonds before, and has never failed
to pay every bond when 1t became
due with all the interest on same.
Even after the Civil War, when the
country was suffering from a heavy
debt and was not nearly so rich as
II ID today, all Of the Government
bonds were paid when they became
