Before Congress 40 Years.

Bills providing for nationwide prohi.
bition by legislation and resolutions
proposing constitutional amendments
for the same purpose have been before
congress almost continually for more
than 40 years. Senator III. w. Blair Of
New Hampshire proposed the first
amendment In 1876 This provided only
for the prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of spirituous distilled liquors
for beverage purposes. He introduced
a similar measure nine times, chang
ing 1t In 1885 to include all alcoholic
liquors.
Congressman Hobson of Alabama in
troduced the famous "Hobson resolu-
ton" in the house December 10, 1918.
The amendment was amended many
times by Hobson himself, finally pro-
viding for a division of responsibility
for the enforcement of the law be-
tween state and federal governments.
This was done to secure the support
of certain advocates of state rights"
The resolution came to vote Deem
Der %, 1914, but received only 1877
votes, while 25S were necessary for Its
adoption.
May Go to Courts.
There is probability that antiprohi-
bition forces will attempt to secure an
annulment of the ratification vote In
several states and will attack the le-
gality Of the action Of congress. In
San Francisco court order has been
secured restraining Governor Stephens
temporarily from signing the ratifica-
ton Of the amendment. 1t has been
stated that similar action may be taken
in other states, including Arkansas.
Colorado, Maine, Nevada. New Mexico.
Oklahoma, Oregon. Utah, Washington,
Missouri and Nebraska. In these
states. 1t is declared, all action taken
by the state legislatures may be sub
mitted to the people under a referen-
dun.
Attorneys for the liquor interests
claim that there are many points on
which the amendment may be attacked
In the courts and plans have been
made. It ID declared, for action along

Among the interesting bits of news
in the world of clothes, is the return
of covert cloth. 1t is made up into

worn with dark blue skirts and con-
sidered the top notch of fashion.

Mississippi was the first state to

North Dakota the states acted in the

keeping the jaws from becoming
cllnched. which might otherwise hap

completed and the gratis grown to-
