Labor, and the other members of the

Use plenty of newspapers about the

is easier to gather them up than to

well to burn these papers every few

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
EFFECTIVE ON JULY |.
RIDER MAKING NATION DRY FOR
DURATION OF THE WAR Is AP.
PROVED BY THE HOUSE.
Proposal to Extend Day for Wine De-
feated, as Are All Amendments to
Prohibition Bill-Meeker Makes At
tack on Anti-saIoon League.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington. prohibition,
effective next July for the period OF
the war, was approved by the House,
which adopted, III to "a, the Senate
prohibition rider to the $12,OOO,OOO
emergency agricultural appropriation
bill. The measure now will be sent to
conference for adjustment of Differ
ences between the two Houses on ap-
preparation items After voting in the
Committee of the Whole to accept an
amendment permitting the Importation
of wine until next May, the House later
reversed it's decision, and by vote OF
121 to 50 retained the original Senate
provision that importation OF VINE
must cease when the measure becomes
effective upon the signature by the
President. The amendment was APP
proved by the House Agricultural Com
mittee to meet an objection by the
Governments of France, Italy, Spain
and Portugal.
All other efforts to amend the legis-
lation also were defeated. A proposal
by Representative Kahn, OF Callfor-
MIA. Republican, to extend the enec-
tive date for prohibiting the sale OF
wine and beer to December 81, 1919,
was defeated, 112 to So, as was one
by Representative Beshlin, OF Penn
sylyania, Democrat, to change the
date for stopping the manufacturing
of beer and wine from next May to
December 1, 1919. Four other amend
ments. two of which sought to have
the Government pay for the liquor I'M
sold when prohibition becomes ef-
fective, also were rejected. Repre-
sentative Gordon, of Ohio, proposed
that the Internal Revenue Bureau be
authorized to make the payment, but
was ruled out of order, as was sub
seuuent proposal by Representative
SABBATH, of Illinois, to provide a FUND
of $3.50 100000 for the same purpose
| The other amendments voted down
were by Representative Igoe, of Mis-
| souri,, who sought to limit prohibition
to the declaration of peace instead OF
to the rehabilitation of the army, ana
by Representative Cannon, of Illinois,
who tried to have stricken out the
provision, recently enacted into law,
authorizing the President to establish
"dry' zones about mines, munltlon
plants and other factories.
California grape growers, who pro-
duce 95 per cent of the domestic wine,
will be unable to liquidate their busl-
ness before wine sales are prohibited
next July, said Mr.. Kahn. He an
nounced that later he would offer an
amendment extending the time to De-
cember 81, 1919. Mr.. Kahn said sales
Of habit forming drugs are increasing
in prohibition territory, and COM
planned that the present law does not
stop the sale of medicines containing
large quantities of alcohol and drugs.
"The charge of drunkenness is not
borne out by Statistics" continued the
California representative. "When you
write this into the law you indict the
whole nation, and l resent that"

aMosr UNGENTLEMANLY.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Being himself the very pink of cour- tesy. it is easy to understand why the German should be distressed by the bad manners of others It is an un- pleasant thing for an officer to sur render, and his enemy is bound by all the laws of chivalry to show everyUos- sible consideration for his feelings. That diabolical invention of tho British. the tank, has changed all this. Ger man officers" says MT. Robinson in his dispatch to the Public Ledger yester- day, consider it most ungentlemanly of us to employ a machine to which they surrender" Hence the spectacle of 'hochwohigeboren running after tanks as if they were busses and hailing them vainly. How can one say "Kamerad" to tank? Never. said one victim of British brutality. did he think that he would be so treated. It is easy to un- derstand how men who showed such exquisite consideration for their own prisoners should be outraged by treat methods. Yet there is no room for them in the tanks. and. after all. tkey have their chance to make a
 formal surrender later on. They ought not to resent too bitterly the neces- sary inconvenience which the ungen- tlemanly weapons smashing through their lines impose upon them.

Labor Day To Be a
 Patriotic Work Day

NoMoRROW will be Labor Day, 4 but it will be observed in this district and in many other sections If the country by wage earners work ng and donating their wages to the Red Cross.
 The government, and especially the fuel administration, urges every man 10 do full days work. Labor Day is ,ne of the most popular of Ameri- .an institutions. It is legal holiday n every state of the union, and being ,uch the banks are required to close; put on the initiative of labor organi- cations other places of business here will be open as usual.
 In industrial pursuits production is mperatively demanded for the win aing of the war. Every ton of coal that can be mined is needed and in 
 Ill essential activities every man and every woman who foregoes the diver sion to which all toilers are entitled ls manifesting high spirit of patriot sm.
 Workmen, union and nonunion alike, lre worthy of strong commendation In the attitude they have taken. They not only desire to contribute a days wage to the Red Cross, but to aid Uncle Sam in his general "speed up" programme.
 The community sing in Capitol park this afternoon will be arranged as Labor Day affair, and that there will be great outpohring of people goes without saying. Every commu- nity honors labor in the collective sense and every right-minded em- ployer feels like taking off his hat to the individual son of toll.
 The relations between capital and labor are more friendly in this coun- try now, as rule, than ever before, and in the Birmingham district the spirit of cooperation and mutual re- gard are distinctly in evidence. May it be ever so!

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT STEEL MAKING
 AND PEANUTS, BANANAS AND GINGER ALE

Y. M. c. A, and buying literally of Lib- erty Bonds.
 But there are other men here who are making lots of money by the cap italizing of other forms of genius, so to speak
 There is Sid Lee, for instance, who discovered that the. proper mixture of ginger, sugar and water would make a delicious and healthful drink. He concocted Buffalo Rock ginger ale and sold so much of it, that he abandoned the wholesale grocery business and went into the making of ginger ale ex- c1usively. Regardless of the curtail- ment of his sugar. he is making mill lions of bottles of it in his several plants here and elsewhere, and is in- cidentally making so much money that he can go fishing whenever he hears of place where the fish are biting.
 No one deserves greater success than Sid Lee. He is a prince of good fel- lows, full of energy and executive abil- ity, and wholesome to the core.
 4 \, x Another hereabouts of whom the gen. eral public has seldom heard is making a generous fortune out of bananas.
 Alex Kontos has a cellar under the old Mayberry building. running from First avenue to Morris avenue. It is 50 feet wide by some 300 feet long, and this cellar is practically always full of punches of bananas. Thousands upon thousands of punches are hanging there to ripen; for bananas are shipped in the green state from Central American ports
 Two or three refrigerator carg of ba- naras can be seen on the Morris avenue tracks in front of his place almost any day and the wagons of retail fruit stands are continually upon the streets hauling off, the punches. Kontos has innumer- able wagons of his own delivering, and he ships all over this section of the south, for Kontos is the greatest bananas dealer

PonU CAN SEE HIS FAMILY

From the Kansas City Star. To no Frenchman does the American advance. and the recapture of the precious soil of France, mean more
 than to one poilu at a certain point of a sector taken over by the Americans "Just a few more days; oh, just few more days, and then le bon Dieu," he says to himself as he stands at the observation post. He gazes intently through powerful glasses. In the bluish wavering field of the lens is small. familiar looking house of stone. He can see the windows and the door. He can even tell when the upper half of the puaintly constructed door swings open. Even more, he can recognize the faces which occasionally bob above the sill. And sometimes the face is that of his wife. and sometime the face is
 that of one of his children. So near and yet so far! For the house. which was his home. is just beyond the line, in the country held by the hated Germans So. when the weather is good. he can see his home and family three or four days out of the week, although when the haze of bad weather pals the land- scape. he is fortunate if he sees them once a week.
 This man escaped across the line when the war broke out but his family did not.
 Thus the father does not measure
 time by the end of the war. With him lit is until the Americans drive the Germans beyond my home over there"
 For him that will be heaven.
