Prohibitionists will present, in the
Senate at a very early date, a pro-
posal to prohibit absolutely the sale
of all intoxicating liquors.
The decisions to fight Immediately
for this straight-out, bone-dry, fedora
and effective prohibition was reached
yesterday. Senator Sheppard. Of
Texas, author OF the National Pro
hibition amendment now before tht
States, is confident of victory.
This fight will not be made on any
indirect amendment such as that at
tached to the food stimulation bill by
Mr.. Randall" the Senator said. 1--WE
will force a vote for absolute pro-
hibition, and we believe we can put
it over"
The prohibitlonists say that a bill
stopping the sale of intoXicants would

made against the Randall amendment

dry proposition as a substitute for
the Randall amendment.
The food stimulation bill has now
reached the Senate Agricultural Com
mittee. 1t is generally conceded that
this committee is controlled by the
"drys" and that the Sheppard plan
will be voted out favorably as an
amendment. No date has been set
for a meeting, but the prohibitionists
say they expect the committee Will
come together inside OF a week.
The Senate passed the constitutional
amendment, submitting the matter of
national prohibition to the States
August last, by a vote of 65 to ~.
The House passed II in December by
a vote of IT'S to 135. The constitutional
amendment required a two-thirds
vote in the Senate, but the contem-
plated amendment would require only
the ordinary majority Of one ballot.

Ways and Means Seeks
Facts as to Its
Effects.
MARGINS TO BE LESS
R. S. Brookins and B. {.
Marsh Appear Before
Committee.

The effect of the government s
price-fXing policy upon the profits
of business in America Is viewed
with serious concern by members
OF the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, which held its first session
yesterday on the framing of the
new $4,000, 900, 900 revenue bill.
The committee learned that the
profits for 1919 will be very ma
terially less than for 1918. A large
part of the shrinkage is attribut-
ed to the fixing of prices by the
government upon articles used in
war manufactures.
The committee spent nearly the
entire session in discssing this
problem. 1t sent for Robert S.
Brookins. chief of the price-fxing
division of the War Industries
Board. and held him as a witness
J in executive session all the after
noon. From Mr.. Brookins the COM
mittee desired the following infor-
nation:
/. How far has the price fixing
of the government been carried, and
upon what articles have prices been
| fixed?
.. What is the future policy of
the government in the matter of
! fixing prices, and how far is 1t to
! be carried?
! Brookins Appears
/ Mr. BTUokins related to the COM
! mittee a large number of instances
/ in which prices have been fixed by
| the government. He promised to
| appear aain today and attempt
to outline what the future policy OF
/ the oyernment win be.
The committee spent some time
discussing methods of reaching the
/ profits of corporations which have
! not been appreciably increased as q
! result of the war.
Secretary McAdOo in his letter 70
Chairman Kitchin recommended that
corporations in this class should be
\ reached by means OF a tax upon
! invested capital. He suggested that
| discretion be given to the Treasury
Department to levy either a tax
ON profits or upon invested capital
! according to which form of tax
would yield the largest return.
Secretary McAdOo's recommenda-
tion that distinction be drawn be-
tween unearned incomes and those
that are earned has met with unan-
imous approval amoung members

HOW TO CLASSIFY
A SOLDIER
80 -
Hat Cord Deagnates Branch
of Service

A military man can Immediately tell
10 what division a soldier belongs by
glancing at the cord on his hat, but
to the average citizen the color of the
hat cord denotes little or nothing. 1t
is an interesting feature to be familiar
with, especially now when so many
soldiers are seen all over the country
and any one who takes the trouble TO
learn the following list will be reward
ed by being able to satisfy his own
curiosity respecting any soldier he
happens to see without having to ask
questions:
A cord of light blue signifies that
the wearer belongs to the infantry
red denotes artillery: yellow. cavalry;
buff, quartermaster's corps; red and
white. engineers corps; orange and
white, signal corps; red and black,
ordnance: black and white. field clerk
maroon and white, medical corps;
black and gold. officers; silver and
black, adjutant generals clerk; green,
instructor home guards, and green and

Thomas Jefferson ROdman
Said TO Have Been Father
of Big Gun Used in Europe

Thomas Jefferson Rodman, the
American inventor and ordnance ex-
pert, who initiated the movement for
big guns which eliminated in the giant
cannon used in Europe, was born 103
years ago in Salem, Ind, and after
graduating from West Point, entered
the ordnance department of the army
He early devoted himself to expert
ments with guns and gunpowder. Rod
mans greatest triumph, notes q writer
In the Sacramento Union, was the in
vention of n method of casting guns
hollow and cooling them from the In
side, which worked revolution in the
making Of artillery.
The long and earnest study devoted
TO the properties and manipulation of
east iron, then regarded as the best
material for heavy ordnance, by Rod
man and other officers, enabled the
United States to produce guns then
admittedly the best In the world. In
1860 cannon weighing 35 tons, the
largest In the world, was cast, but the
eXigencies of the Civil war required
heavier and better artillery. In 1868
2O-inch smooth bore, weighing near
ly So tons and throwing q solid shot
Of 1850 pounds, was cast This great
gun attracted international attention,
and many years passed before it was
surpassed in size and effectiveness.
Rodman also introduced the use of
mammoth powder for the 15-inch
smooth-bore guns of his invention Dur
ing the Civil war his guns were used
in both navy and army, and were of
great assistance in deciding the out
come of the struggle. During the war
period ROdman had command of the
WatertOwn arsenal.

Raising of Rabbits Grows
in Popularity as Cost of
Beef and Pork Increases

Since the price of meat has been
soaring, substitutes for beef and pork
have been in demand.
The most popular method of filling
out the menu without patronizing the
butcher is to raise rabbits, and hun
dreds of persons are now SO engaged
with profit.
1t is the consensus of opinion among
breeders, writes correspondent, that
the Flemish giant rabbit is the best, its
meat closely resembling the taste of
chicken. Many persons who have
served Flemish rabbit have been COM
plimented over their 'lovely chicken
dinner"
The Belgian hare, which has many
followers, is not so toothsome by far.
The Flemish is bred for meat and
weight, while the Belgian is favored
for color, symmetry and small-sized
bones.
The weight of rabbits varies greatly.
The giant Flemish leads, specimens
being known TO reach % pounds, al
though the average ranges from ID to
10. Belgian hares, when a year old,
weigh about II pounds. The other
species are somewhat lighter.
Rabbit hides bring 80 TO 20 cents a
pound. although there are instances
where the white fur brings much high
er prices, according to quality and ap-
pearance.
