PROHIBITION MEASURE

COLUMBUS. Ohio, March 31.-Ex'
posure of what was seen as the dom
inant power of the Anti-Saloon League
over the Ohio senate was demonstrat
ed Wednesday in unexpected fashion
1t came through the adoption of an
amendment to the leagues bill to pro
hihit physicians from prescribing wine
beer, whisky or other alcoholic bev
erage for medical purposes.
This was drafted by the representa-
tive Of the State Association of Phar
macists, Theodore Welterstroem, anc
was devised for the purpose of protect
ing members of that profession and
physicians from the harsh provisions
of one of the sections of the measure
which. If applied in the original, would
debar them for two years from fol
lowing their callings.
Leader Accepts Change.
It was said that the head of the
league, James A. White. who occupies
a seat in the senate lobby. had prom
ised to accept this amendment. At the
last moment Senator Joseph Gardner
of Cincinnati. was called upon to Offer
it upon the floor.
Instantly 1t was attacked by Senator
J. F. Burke. of Elyria, former Anti
Saloon league official and chairman ot
the temperance committee, who de
nounced it literally
Senator Gardner Immediately ISSUED
a warning to the body that it woulC
do a vain thing by defeating the
amendment, sarcastically explaining
that 'the man who issues orders here
had agreed to having it inserted in the

you'll have to vote for concurrence,
said the Cincinnatian.

Drainage of 100000 or $1,000 900
acres in the coastal areas along the
gulf and Atlantic seaboard and un-

Elizabeth F. Fisher, OF the Department
of Geology and Geography of Wellesley
College.
The statement Of Secretary Hoover
Of the department of commerce that
this country is apparently about to
pass from food exporting to food
importing nation was quoted by Pro
fessor Fisher in addressing students
today as indicating the immediate
necessity of increasing the yearly pro
duction OF food in the nation.
