Prohibition Bill Divided.

The pending bill. as reported by the
Judiciary committee. is divided into
three chapters. The first title deals
with wartime prohibition. the second
with forever-and-ever prohibition un-

Constitution of the United States and
the third with alcohol used in the
arts and industries.
There is also pending before the
committee bill offered just before

Spirit of Amendment.

An equal quantity of the same
hquor may make one person dead
drunk and but slightly affect another
AS some contend. there may be per-
sons who have become so tolerant of
alcohol that they cannot get drunk
on beer containing 2 2. per cent of alco-
hol by weight. which, by the way. con-
tains only one-half of one per cent of
alcohol less than the ordinary beer
but We are not legislating for a spe-
ciai class. This amendment was in
tended 10 apply generally and to pre-
vent the sale of any liquor that will
make anybody drunk. 1t is not only
intoxication that this amendment seeks
TO prohibit. but the useless waste as
we'll of the uncounted millions in
money that should go TO provide lux
uries, comforts and conveniences in
the home.
Aside from these considerations
there is another reason why Congress
has the power to define the meaning
OF the phrase Intoxicating liquor
The amendment in express terms gives
Congress power to prohibit such liquor
and to enforce that prohibition by ap-
propriate legislation. If to accomplish
that purpose it finds that IT is neces-
sary TO prohibit liquor that is not in
fact Intoxicating, may do SO. This
right does not rest upon any police
power. but is derived from the Con-
sutution, as interpreted by our courts"

Contest Over "Intoxicating."

over the construction of the term
Intoxicating liquor" and the declara-
ton of the bill that one-half of one
per cent of alcohol constitutes in
toXicating liquor. The report of the
committee on this subject contends as
follows:
I'm determining what is meant by the
phrase Intoxicating liquor Congress
has the same power as a court to COM
pare it with prior legislation on the
subject and to take notice of the pur-
pose had in mind in passing it. 1t is a
part of the history of this country that
for many years a bitter and persistent
struggle has been going on against the
liquor traffic. This amendment is the
elimination of that struggle. Many
states have passed constitutional
amendments to accomplish locally the
same objects as that sought by this
amendment; they are all substan-
tally in the same language as this one.
Half Per Cent, State Bodies Say.
THE legislatures of these states. more
than thirty in number, have passed
statutes to carry these amendments
into effect, and they have all with
out exception defined the meaning of
this phrase Intoxicating liquors
as all spirituous, vinous, malt. and
fermented liquors or all such liquors
that contain one-half of one per cent
may differ somewhat, but that is the
effect of all of them. This clearly
argues that as this phrase is under
stood in these amendments it in
eludes all liquor that contains any
alcohol in excess of one-haif OF one
per cent.
Every state in the Union has in
dealing with alcoholic liquors treated
all beverages containing more than
one-half OF one per cent of alcohol
as Intoxicating. and has either pro-
hibited their use or sub iected them to
heavy tax. The national govern
ment has for years imposed tax
upon all alcoholic liquors containing
one-haf of one per cent or more OF
alcohol. and thus recognized this dis
tinction between intoxicating and
non-intoxicatng liquor. This policy
has put legislative construction on
the phrase that has become popularity
known and thoroughly understood
everywhere No one who supported
this amendment had in mind that
there could be any question as to
the meaning of the term. 1t meant
to them as ii meant to all the people
that all the liquor that has been
treated and taxed as Intoxicating
should forever be banished and they
are asking Congress to carry out in
good faith what everybody under
stood was the mandate written into
the Constitution

Bob Renders Harmless an Ammunition Dump In The Hacienda

Mexico is a marvellous mixture OF
past and present, Of old superstittons
and modern ambitions. 1t was by way
of the superstitions that Bob and l
perfected our plan to guard the inter-
est Of our country.
As Bob improved physically he seem
ed to slump mentally.
'I'm going around like a dead man,
Jane" he whispered as we sat by the
fountain in the patio one warm morn
ing. Can you keep on playing up to
my game? Your accepting h-and max
ing out my case to be as bad as pos
sible-will prevent DR.. Certeis from
putting me through some Of his scien-
ticic tests. Nothing else will, my
dear"
My acceptance Of Bob's relapse into
forgetfulness Of me-4ny grief IN con
seQuence-did blind Hamilton Certels
TO the truth about Bob. Or perhaps
the man was too busy making a care
full diagnosis Of the case.
Bob and 1 realized that all Of the
servants were guarding IS though no
restraint was apparent. On the contra

deplored the sad fate Of the young
American.
The rather magnificent dame-the
housekeeper- who had told me the
story Of the miraculous altar piece
she who believed that DR.. Certeis had
stepped out Of the frame-this clever
but credulous raf]A insisted on becom'
ing my most sympathetic companion.
She delighted in entertaining Bob
and me with the traditions connected
with the hacienda. According to her
account, every nook and corner of the
place had its own creepy tale. Even
the attic of the long adobe building
next the great field had its startling
tragedy.
Under its caves was haunted

the most magnificent of all the own
ers Of the hacienda had killed his law
full wife up there. The lady had re-
fused to live in the hacienda with
his mlstresses, it seemed. So she had
slipped away and had concealed her
self for weeks in that low attic quite
close to the great castle. But pretty
young servant-girl betrayed the wife
to the master. The girl doubtless had
her own ambitions-so ran the tale.
