Federal Prohibition Commissioner Kramer Wants
American Women to Help Enforce Volstead Act

Women frequently ride as pas
sengers in cars used for whiskey
running, Kramer said. Their pres
ence is supposed to divert suspicion,
he said.
Kramer has received reports that
in many cities women by hundreds
join in liquor parties and revels dur
ing which large quantities of intoxi-
cants are swallowed. Police records
bear out the reports, he said. Girls
under twenty were reported to have
been caught in police raids on such
gatherings.
Undoubtedly there are many
women who indulge in intoxicants

A great man-hunt was in full

A whole section of the city, on the

Of gun butts against barred doors
and shouts of command.

the identity Of the Slim Feiners
sought, but it was generally under

tanglements at all street openings.

ESCH -CUMM|NS ACT
UNDER HEAVY FIRE
NEXT CONGRESS- MAY HAVE TO
REWRITE LAW TO PRE-.
VENT REPEAL
TWENTY STATES ATTACK
Object to Section Putting Intra.
State Rates Under Interstate
Commerce Commission

/ WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-(United
Press. )-The next congress, which
meets soon after March 4, will have
to rewrite the transportation act, IL
the double-headed drive being carried
on against the law is successful.
One attack is made by 20 states,
which hold that the sections of the
act giving the interstate commerce
commission power over intrastate as
we'll as interstate rates, makes it un-
constitutional. They will carry their
fight to the supreme court.
, Another attack is made by organ
lied labor, which has never lessened
its opposition to the principles in
volved in the labor clause Of the act,
although 1t has agreed to abide by
them. The executive council Of the
American Federation Of Labor meets
here a week from today and some
new announcements against the
transportation act may come at that
time.
! While the state officials attacking
the act complain chiefly Of the con-
flict of federal and state authority
involved, they also intend to take in
other features.
, Criticize 3 Per Cent Guarantee
! The sections of the act which guar
antee the roads 8 per cent. they say.
are economically unsound without re-
gard to the earnings of the business
es, or the value of the transportation
service at any particular time, the
roads must get per cent, they say.
One Of their arguments that obsolete
roads must be kept up at the ex-
pense of the strong ones.
If he state officials prevail on the
supreme court to accept their argu-
ments and knock out sections of the
transportation act, railroads will sud
denly find themselves unable to bor-
row money, which would force action
by congress.
Kenyon's bill would do by legis-
latiOn what Is being attempted by
attorneys general from nearly score
Of states.
Under the Interpretation Of its
POWcTS Hlduc ny tuc tutcTSldlc COul-
merce commission, safe railroad COM
missions are utterly powerless to con-
troll rates within the state" Kenyon
pointed out.
Rates Keep Going Up.
THE result is that rates go up and
up; people stop travelling and quit
shipping freight all they can; the
railroads don't make the money they
expected from the higher rates and
then they ask even higher ones. In
my opinion it was never intended
that the interstate commerce COM
mission should have power to fix or
control either passenger or freight
rates within the states, or to take
away from the states the power to
do So"
Senator Cummins. Kenyons' col
league, and one Of the authors Of the
Esch- -Cummins railroad law. agreed
with Kenyon, while Representative
Esch, the other author of the bill, Is
understood to hold that the inter-
state commerce commission was in
tended to control inrastate as we'll as
interstate rates.

DAIRY CATTLE NEED SILAGE
SuccuIence 1t Supplies Is Very Neces-
sary for Large Milk Production
Cheapest of Feeds.

SilaGe is the best and cheapest form
in which to store succulent feed.
Many forage crops can be made into
silage, but corn, where it can be
grown successfully, makes the best
silage.
Good silage depends upon cutting
the crop at the right stage, fine cut
ting, even distribution, thorough
packing and plenty of moisture in the
cut material When rightly put up
and CAREFULLY fed, there should be
little if any loss through spelling.
Silage is well suited for feeding to
all live stock Dairy cows need it
perhaps more than other classes of
animals, because the Eucrulence il
supplies is very necessary for large
milk production. 1t is cheap and
economical feed for beef cattle, from
breeding COW to fattening steer. Sheep
like it, and it is well suited to their
needs. Even horses and mules may
be fed limited quantities of good
silage with excellent results.

ICE-HARvEST TIME AT HAND
Farmer Should Lay in Ample Supply

hold Uses in Summer.

Farmers who have not already done
so, should prepare to lay by a store
of ice now for cooling milk and for
household use next summer. In places
where nature provides sufficiently
low temperature, the cost of harvest
ing and storing ice is low when COM
pared with the saving effected. Ordi-
narily, it is safe to harvest 2 tons of
ice for each COW in the herd This
will allow for melting and leave
enough for family needs. Where
cream only is sold, about one-third of
that quantity of ice will be needed.
Two farmers bulletins, No. 623, Ice
Houses and the Use of Ice on the
Farm, and No. 1878, Harvesting and
Storing Ice on the Farm, may be had
by applying to the Division of Publ
cations, United States Department of
