Washington, Nov. 1S-The brief
days of medical beer were con-
sidered numbered today when the
Senate, after a debate of extra fervid
character, by a vote of IS to 80 fin
ally adopted the conference report
on the anti-becr bill. -
With legislative action concluded,
the bill, fought out for months, now
goes to the President, who is expects
cd to give it his approval within the
ten day period in which he can act.
1t was thought possible, however,
that there might be few days delay
while an opinion as to the constitu-
tionality of the measure was re-
ceived from the attorney general. =.
Until the Presidents pen goes on
the bill, manufacture and sale by
physicians prescriptions will con-
tinue, the treasury department an
nounced, but in all quarters the lease
of life for medical beer was not
placed beyond ten days, although
the bars on the beer went down only
a few weeks ago. with the issuance
of the treasury's beer regulations.
1t was deemed certain that brew
ing interests would carry test case
to the supreme court.
Besides prohibiting beer, with
more than one-half of one per cent.
of alcohol the bill would reduce the
amount of wine which physicians
might prescribe.
Twelve Republicans and ten
Democrats voted against the confer.
ence report.
Two others, Senators Reed, Demo-
crat, Missouri, and Moses, Republi-
can, New Hampshire, were paired
against the bill.

Washington, Nov. 19.-One of the

the other British representatives
here. 1t Dug htto be added, how

BRITAIN STOPS
ALL WORK ON HOOD
TYPE Of WARSH|P

London, Nov. 1S-(By A. P)-The
British Admirality's announcement
today that it had ordered the cessa-
ton of all work on the four warships
of the super Hood type evoked a
chorus Of approval by prominent au-
thorities throughout England.
Vice Admiral Ballard, in an article
published by the Evening News, es-
Inmates it will result in an ultimate
saving of 50,000,O00 pounds sterling
Moreover, he says, it means the
abandonment Of design embodying
the experiences of the late war in
favor of a design to be adopted
decade hence anG t;nat it is conceiv-
able that the decision may lead to the
entire disappearance of capital
ships. He thinks, however, that if
the armor plate mills are idle for a
decade it will be difficult to restart
them, especially as regards their
personnel.
Admiral Sir Percy Scott, who
warmly approves of the admirality's
announcement places the saving it
will evolve at 100,000,000 pounds
sterling. He thinks no country will
scrap its submarines, except possibly
the long range ones, because he says
they are primarily weapons of de-
Tense.
W. L. Kitchens, chairman of the
shipbuiloing firm of Cammcll Laird
& Company, Ltd, thinks that al
though it is very disagreeahle to
armament firms. it is unwise to con-
tnue spending money while the out
look favors disarmament. He be-
lieves that temporary allowances to
the STATS would solve the employ
ment problem.
Vice Admiral Mark Kerr, is of
similar opinion. adding:
I'VE already have sufficient battle
ships for Europe. although the ships
used overseas are not Of much use"
The mayors of Chatham, Roches-
ter and Gillingham will meet tonfor-
row to discuss the situation arising
from the disarmament proposals.
The mayor of Chatham said today
that the closing Of the Chatham
dockyard would he catastrophe
for the district and that the admiral
ity would be petitioned to provide
ship building for the mercantile
marine.
