NATION DRY 1922.
Amendment Probably viii Be
Ratified by Next April.
Law Becomes Effective One
. Year After Ratification.

Kansas City, Aug. 17-NationaI
prohibition by April 1, 1920, is the
confident prediction of dry leaders in
the middle west.
Fourteen of the states have ratified
the national prohibition amendment
and the twenty-five more necessary
are expected to ratify it not later than
April !, 1919. The amendment be-
comes effective one year later.
At the time the amendment was
passed by congress, twenty-seven of
the state were dry and ratification
was needed by at least nine of the wet
states to bring about the adoption of
the amendment. Since that time. four
teen states have voted favorably upon
the amendment and of those seven
were wet-Keptucky, Maryland, Tex
as, Delaware, Massachusetts, Montana
and Louisiana.
Two More Dry States.
Since the ratification of the amend
ment, Texas has voted state wide pro-
hibition and similar law will go into
effect in Montana January 1, 1918.
1t is significant. Mr.. Bertch says.
that Louisiana is the only state that
ment, and louisiana since has voted
favorably upon it. In New York a
tie vote occurred in the senate and in
Rhode Island, the amendment was not
put up for final action.
May Vote Again If Defeated.
"Under a supreme court decision,
rejection of the amendment by a state
does not count against 1t and it can be
brought up again and again until it Is
finally adopted" Mr.. Bertch said.
But when it is once adopted. it can
not subsequently be rescinded by a
! legislature. The same decision ap-
plies to congress"
All the state legislatures that have
not passed upon the amendment will
be IN session this winter and the
thirty-sixth state-Florida-ise expect
ed to ratify it not later than next
April L.
OF the dry states yet to vote on the
amendment, only two have been con-
sidered doubtful-Iowa and Alabama
In Iowa both political parties have
endorsed the measure in their plat
forms and the Alabama legislature is
safely dry.
Missouri Will Ratify.
The Missouri legislature is expected
to ratify the amendment by a big
vote. The house is dry by very large
majority and the senate will be con-
trolled by the drys. their leaders as
sert, 10 to Is.

COOTIE-PROOF CLOTHES
Iowa Women Believe They Have q
Garment That Will Protect Soldiers.

Des Moines. Ia, Aug. 17.-women
of Iowa will continue to make "cootie-
sproof' trench underwear for soldiers
from this state, despite the recent
statement that the garments were un-
satisfactory.
/. Governor Harding recently received
a letter from Col. E. r. Bennett, COM
manding the Iowa regiment in the
Rainbow division, saying the garments
did not perform the function for which
they were intended.
While Colonel Bennett expressed the
belief that the elimination of the
''cootie" Or trench 1ouse trouble could
not be accomplished thru wearing of
chemically treated undergarments, the
women say a similar treatment has
been endorsed by the Canadian gov
ernment and is in wide use.
1t is thought by leaders of the cam
paign here that the garments supplied
the 16Sth infantry unit of the
Rainbow division-were of too light
texture, and that the garments more
recently made of a heavier material
will prove effective.

Unnecessary Intestines.

The human intestine seems to be
partly a relic of prehistoric times,
largely useless in this modern day and
age. The uselessness of the vermi-
form appendix, which is simply the
stump of what was once an impor-
itant and functioning branch Of the
nlimentary canal, is well known. Re
cent operations in London hospital
seem to indicate that large part of
the lower main canal, the colon, can
be dispensed with without harm. In
these operations sections of the colon
have been removed. The work brings
up again the famous scientist Metch-
nikoff's debated contention that these
parts of the anatomy are not only use.
