UNITED Press Leased y, ire Service. ]
WASHINGTON,sF Feb. 1.-THE first
indication that the right to make the
country wet again by amending the
prohibition enforcement law, will start
with the next elections was seen
today when Representative Ware,
Penna., announced he would seek re-
election on five percent beer plat
form. A plank in his platform pledges
him to support an amendment to the
volstead act to allow sale Of five per-
cent beer.
It is expected that large number
of candidates for congress will come
into the field, promising that If elected
they will workito amend the law so
that light wines and beer will be
legal. This can be brought about by
simply changing the law, which now
bars beverages containing one half Of
one percent alcohol. 1t would not be
necessary for constitutional amend
ment which decreases prohibition but
fails to specify what constitutes
liquors.

Mr.. Sands said that Keokuk was
one of the few cities in the state to
not be materially affected by Lack of
housing facilities. He explained this
by saying that during the time Of the
boom when the water power was
being built there were sufficient
houses provided. Since then many of
these have not been occupied Now

Housing Commissioners Speaks Before
Unity Club and Tells Some of
Things War Has Brought
to Us.
URGES CITIZENSHIP PLAN
Americanization Involves This and
More, He Holds-Oiscusses
Housing Situation in
State.

Some problems which have resulted
from the war were discussed this noon
by Edwin H. Sands, state housing
commissioner who was the guest OF
the Unity club at its meeting. Mr..
Sands spoke on three main problems,
citizenship, health and housing, as
they were brought to light through the
activities of the war.
In speaking of citizenship, or Amer
termination programs, Mr.. Sands de-
clared that there was need for a re-
discovery of America. He said there
were many citizens, born of American
parents, with no trace of foreign
blood or connections who were failing
to live up to the American spirit. He
said that Americanization had fire.
lquently been thought to mean teach
ing foreigners to read and write Eng
|lish. His Interpretation was broader
and he included it in program OF
citizenship. He urged the teaching of
to the American born as well as the
foreign born man, the realization OF
his obligations as a citizen.
In the matter of health Mr.. Sands
said we were inclined, before the war,
W DSlltNc Will bIydu, llldC oil yOu
needed was the emergency and a
million men would spring to arms
over night. When it came to- the ply.
|sical tests it was proved that Ameri-
can manhood was wanting in physical
qualifications. The majority of all
ments were preventible and this is
bringing us to the realization of the
need for campaign along health
lines.
Problem Of Houses.
The third problem was that of hous-
ing. War Industries showed us, he
said that industry's big problem was
that of housing. 1t is necessary to
have contented workmen to avoid
turn overs" in the factories, and the
war Industries realized this when they
Ispent millions of dollars building quar-
tiers for their workmen. Good housing
facilities resulted in little or no un-
rest; poor housing facilities bred
these things.
The housing problem is acute today
because during the war there was a
suspension of building activities. This
caused a shortage, which was now
being felt, this and the high prices of
materials.
