SENATORS TAKE
UP PROHIBITION
Drys Want Question Settled lmnned'
lately, But Vets are Fight
ing for De-
lay.
l[By L. G. Martin, United Press Staff
CORRESPONDENT

Thy L. c. Martin, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Senate
drys who favor immediate prohibition
of intoxicants from the United States,
today called to their aid treasury de-
partment experts to prove that no
great financial loss will result.
Armed with a great mass of figures
they plan to tell the senate that the
claim that scores Of banks will be
forced to the wall unless liquor in
terests and banks which hold their pa
per are given ten months or year
to settle their affairs, is "bosh." They
already have quoted a high official OF
the department as saying that six
months would be ample time to let all
the banks which have loaned money
to liquor interests get out from under.
But in spite of the radical drys' de-
termination to fight for immediate
drough, the belief grows that July /,
1919 will be the date fixed.
The whole question will probably
be settled one way or the other TINS
week. Prohibition has the right OF
way until disposed of. Vets are pre-
pared to forestan the efforts OF Sen
ator Sheppard (dry LEADER to open tbs
discussion today. The day has peer
set aside for eulogies on the life Of
the late Senator Newlands. Preced
ing that however between noon ano
two D. m. the regular business of the
senate is in order. Sheppard wants tc
set this aside to take up prohibition
The vets will insist on the regular
business. They have seen to. 1t thai
there will be pletny of such BUSINESS
But under an agreement, the prohibi
ton question comes UP Thursday al
the latest and must be kept before the
senate until finally voted on.

Easy Way to Kill
Rats and Mice

There is no need OF suffering from
the depredations of rats and mice
now that Stearns' Electric Paste is
readily obtainable at nearly every
store A small box of this effective
extermniator costs but few cents
and is usually sufficient to completely
rid the house, store or barn Of rats
and mice. The U. 8. Government has
bought thousands of packages of
Stearns' Electric Paste to extermin-
ate rats and mice. The Paste Is also
efficient in destroying cockroaches
and waterbugs.

PROFITEERING
TO BE CHECKED
Steps Taken to Thwart High Rentals
of Apartment Houses and
Sky High Hotel
Tariffs.

UNITED Press Leased Wire SerVlce:I
WASHINGTON. Aug. 28.-Drasuc
steps have been taken by the capital
issues committee of the treasury de-
partment to thwart prof1teering IN
rentals and in hotel tariffs, 1t was
learned here today. At the same
time, it was learned measures were
under consideration which Will check
exorbitant profits in other lines by
limiting funds which could be COM
manded.
Ratifications of rates Of hotels and
apartment houses in half a dozen
cities, including the national capital,
has been refused by the committee
because the corporations seeking
funds would not submit schedules OF
prices to be charged. The commit
tees action has set adrift the taxation
of one large apartment hotel in New
York, one in Washington and SINH
lar project in Chicago, it was stated
officially.
Numerous small propositions have
to await the wars termination, be-
cause funds were not available after
the capital issues committee were not
furnished with rental schedules. AL
though no official confirmation could
be had, it was reported the commit
tee soon might withhold its approval
of loans to finance the handling of
foodstuffs in large quantities unless
confirmation is provided on profits to
be gained. The committee had no
power to check the profteering ex-
cept through it's refusal to approve
loans But through its advisory com
~, faIaro1 dig
trict, it could obtain first hand infor-
nation, and therefore is in position
to force out blood money grafters.

MAKING MANY CORES

Three women are now employed in
the core room of the Pechstetn Iron
works. sl'i
Formerly only men did this work,
but war conditions have caused the
firm to add the women to Its core
making force for the first time since
the plant was established in Keokuk.
The women, who are employed, are
Miss Hazel Alberts of 70S Des Moines
street, her sister Mrs. Jessie Strong
of the same address, and Mrs. Edna
Rhode of 1419 High street.
Paul G. Smith, foundry foreman,
praised the work the three women
the doing.
1.-THE plan Of employing women is
working fine" he declared today.
1.-The new workers will qualify nicely.
In fact there isn't any doubt OF 1t.
They work faster at the small core
making than men, and they do one
third more work day than man
does in that same position"
How They Make Cores.
The representative of The Daily
Gate City went into the core room to
see just what the three women had
to do. They were seated at long
bench working with piles of wet
block sand. Every woman wore
long, plain kitchen apron No over
cites there-that was plain.
The sand was mixed for the women
by boy and brought into the room
and put on the bench. The first step
in the work was the ramming of the
sand into the boxes, which came in
all shapes and forms. Each box was
raped to get the sand loose, then the
box was lifted from the cores, the
whole process being a simple one.
Later the cores are placed in an oven
and baked. The next morning they
are assembled on trays for the
molders.
| Ten Thousand Cores Per Day.
Some of the boxes contain as many
as forty cores. This means that
nearly every day the women have
/ turned out 1900 cores apiece.
| The nature of the work is more
adopted to women than to men," said
Mr.. Smith Eventually the company
will use six or eight women for this
work
| Special preparations were made at
the foundry before the women joined
THE working force. A place in the
pattern room was boarded OH Tor
them and this is now where the
women work separate from the men
in the molding room.
! Mr.. Smith gave up his private
office for them to use as dressing
room. They eat their lunch there,
| too, at noon.

[United Press Leased Wire Service.1
DETROIT. Mich, Aug. 2S.-Henry
Ford won the democratic nomination
for United States senator in yester-
DAVIS primaries by a good majority,
figures today indicate, but lost the
republican nomination for the same
office. Although Ford made no per-
sonal campaign he was one of the
leading candidates on both republi-
can and democratic tickets. Truman
H. Newbery, who made the campaign
on the ground that the issue between
him and Ford was Americanism
versus pacifism, apparently has won
the republican nomination by an
overwhelming majority.
The vote throughout the state was
extremely light.

Fitting Replies

President Wilson has sent the Kaiser a fitting reply to the Peace camoufage, by calling the Kaiser's hand.
 Our boys at the front in con- junction with the allied armies, have given the Kaiser a fitting reply, in the late offensive that has broken completely thru the boasted Hindenburg line, de- clared impregnable, and now threatens an overwhelming catastrophe to the entire Ger man army in France and Bel gium.
 It remains for the American people to give their fitting re- ply to the Kaiser in the form of an oversubscription to the 4TH Liberty Loan, that will wreck the Hohenzollern dynasty of blackmailers, robbers and mur- derers, and free the world.

 On the stage were tables where the hungry dancers could enjoy the delicious Span7 ish dishes, tamales, encialadaes and tortillas; while on the floor below were booths where one could obtain candies and soft drinks. A feature of the occa- sion, and one which caused much laughter and applause, was the "jail', where any ''Se- nor" who had failed to pur- chase a carnation was allowed to cool his heels, smoke a cigar cite, and mediate on his sins. then allowed to go free on the payment of a small fine. As it was all for the benefit of the Red Cross, no protests were heard, but instead, all paid up manfully.
