Question Of Nationwide Prohlbs
ton TO Be Submitted To
State Legislatures
VOTE IS 262 TO 128
Bill Would Prevent Manufacture, Sale
or Importation Of Liquor For 0cv.
craze Purposes-States Have
7 Years to Ratfy.

Washington, Dec. l9.-Only slight
difference in resolutions between the
House and Senate now stands In the
way Of submitting to state legislatures
an amendment to the federal consti-
tuition forbidding the manufacture,
sale or importation Of intoxicating IL
quor for beverage purposes in the
United States or its territories, for
nationwide prohibition has won in the
House.
The vote in the House, taken after
a day Of debate before crowded gal
leries. was 2S2 to 1913, with the parties
divided almost evenly. The margin
for prohibition was just eight votes
more than the necessary two-thirds
vote of the House required for adop
ton and 26 more than two.thirds OF
those voting.
Same az Senate Measure.
The resolution adopted by the House
is Identical with that passed by the
Senate last August, except that 1t
gives the states seven years instead
Of six in which to ratify the amend
ment. Senator Sheppard, author OF
the resolution, predicted that the Sen
ate would accept the amendment at
once. He said he had assurances
that the seven year period would be
approved and that he did not believe
q roll call necessary.
Every attempt to put on amend
ments to except light wines and beer
was beaten and 141 Democrats stood
aligned with 1877 Republicans and four
Independents to win the final victory
for the prohibition forces.
Text Of Resolution.
Following is the resolution as adopt
ed:

of Representatives. that the following

BEST WAY TO HANG SKIRT
Valuable Pointer for the Woman Who,
From Choice or Necessity, Makes
Her Own Clothes.

The woman who makes her own
clothes is always on the alert for
means which will facilitate the work.
A splendid way to hang a skirt hem
Is to use an ordinary foot rule folded
together so that it measures six inches.
Place one end of the rule on the floor I;
then put pin or chalk mark on the
skirt where the other end would come,
and continue at intervals all around
the skirt. When done your dress
measures exactly six inches from the
floor and hangs perfectly true. Place
the skirt on the table and measure
down two or more inches, according
TO the number of inches you wish your
skirt to hang from the floor.
1t is a splendid idea to hang a skirt
by the belt for "a hours before you
attempt to turn up the hem. This
prevents sagging.
The woman who has no one to turn
up her skirt 'hem will find the follow.
ing method helpful: First Of all. the
skirt is put on a belt and fastened on
the figure. Taking a yardstick and a
ricce of chalk or pins, line is traced
around the hips one yard up from the
floor. When the line is we'll marked,
remove the skirt, and then after de-
termining the number of inches the
skirt is to be above the floor, measure
off the required number from the SO
inches already lined off. For instance,
If you wish your skirt to be six inches
from the ground, merely pin off or
chalk off 80 inches along the bottom
of the skirt, measuring from the line
placed about the hips. At the lower
traced line the hem is turned up.
