Washington, Jan. 22.--Means OF en-
forcing prohibition after July are
under consideration by officials OF the
Department of Justice and the Internal

special enforcement agency will not he
taken until Congress he's had time to act

agents would not attempt to cover tne

OFFICIALS say the fact that inc
nrohibition measure is a Federal ACT
might be interpreted In some states
which never have had referendum Oh,

This reason. and because of the expressed
feeling in some communities that prom

that some Federal agency must exercise

House Committee Adopts Sec

Washington, Jan. GA tribute to

was adopted by the House Pensions
Committee as a part of its favorable re-

Lane wrote the committee that Congress
had set precedents by granting pensions
TO the widows of Presidents Polk, Tyler.

The committee unanimously voting
favorable report, found that the Secre-
tary's letter constituted "one of the most
beautiful fair and just tributes" to Mr..
Rooseyelt's life and character, II fol-
lows:
.'The impression that Theodore Roose-
yelt's personality has made upon the
world does not need emphasis. What
ever his fame as a stateman, 1t can never
outrun his fame as a man. However,
widely known men may diner from him
in matters of national policy. this thing
men in their hearts would all wish, that
their sons might have within them the
spirit. the will, the strength, the manli-
ress, the Americanism of Roosevelt He
was made of that rugged and heroic
stun with which legend delights to play
The idylls and sagas and the iliads have
been woven about men OF his mold. We
may surely expect TO see developed a
Roosevelt legend, body OF tales that
will exalt the physical power and en-
durance of the man and the boldness of
his spirit, his robust capacity for blunt
speech and his hearty comradeship, his
live interest in all things living-these
will make our boys for the long future
proud that they are of his race and his
country. And no surer fame than this
can come to any man--to live in the
hearts of the boys of his land as one
whose doings and sayings they would
wish to make their own"

The Wonders Of America
our NATIONAL CAPITOL.
syT. T. mAxEY

TT Is but fitting that America-the
L greatest nation in all the world
should have the finest capitol building
on earth. The architectural beauty OF
our national capitol building at Wash
ington Is most impressive and, for capt.
Iol purposes. IL is said to surpas'
every other building in the world.
The base of this immense. sym
metr cally shaped and imposing editicp
tests on a level plateau, at an eleya-
ton of 81 feet above the historic PO-
tOmac river. The building faces the
east and Is about one mile distant
from the White House. The corner
stone OF the original structure. which
comprises the central portion OF the
present building and is of Virginia
sandstone, was laid by President Wash
ington on September IS, 1793-125
years ago. Later, when it became
necessary to enlarge the building, two
additions or wings, of Massachusetts
marble. were added. President Fill
more laid the corner stone; Daniel
Webster was the orator. These wings
were burned by the British in 1914, but
were restored. The original building
was completed In 1927. ........
The present structure is 751 feet
long and $50 wide. 1t covers three
and one-half acres, The central por-
ton is surmOunted by one of the most
graceful, pleasingly shaped, and mas
sIVe domes In the world This dome Is
2S7 feet high. 1t was completed in
1865. 1t weighs more than 100000
pounds and is topped by a statue Of
Freedom almost 20 feet high.
The total value of the building and
grounds is estimated at $25 100000.
