BILL PROVIDES BAN
E ON ALL BEER IN j. s.
New VoIstead Measure Pro-
poses to Tighten Up Dry
Law Leaks.

A ban on beer as medicine and a
limit on wine. and stopping liquor
imports and closing distilleries until
the existing supply is consumed, is
provided in bill introduced by
Chairman Volstead of the House ju-
dietary committee yesterday. 1t is
designed to meet former Attorney
General Palmers ruling, ami to
tighten up any leaks in the prohibit
tion enforcement law that bears the
name of Volstead
The measure would not prohibit use
of wine for medicinal purposes but
would make more specific and strin-
gent the regulations on this subject.
Declares Beer Is Not Needed.
Frankly declaring there was no real
necessity for beer as a medicine, Mr.
Volsteat announced that his bill, de-
scribed as supplemental to the ma
tional prohibition act, was put for
tion created by the opinion of former
Attorney General Palmer that beer
and wine, under the Volstead act
could be prescribed for the ailing.
In tentative regulations announced
last week by Prohibition Commits
sioner Kramer. but which must await
approval by David H. Blair, the new
commissioner of internal revenue, an
arbitrary limit of four and seven-eighths
gallons Of beer and three gallons of
wine was fixed as the maximum that
might be prescribed by physician at
any one time. Mr.. Palmer had ruled
that the law fixed no limit.
Prepared to Seize Bull.
Regardless of what Commissioner
Blair may rule, Mr.. Volstead indicated
that the prohibition forces in the House
were prepared to take the beer bull by
the horns and let the world know that
there will be no beer.
The bill also would impose certain ad-
ditional restrictions on the manufac-
ture Of alcoholic preparations, mas
Querading' as medicine and tonics,
which prohibition leaders assert are
drinkable. In support of this provision
MIR. Volstead said the bootleg trade was
being supplied through Withdrawals os-
tensibly for the manufacture of these
products.

tion to do everything within his power
and within the scope of the money al
lotted his office to add to the attrac-
tiveness of the parks and to educate
the public to use them with greater
frequency.
The accommodations at the bathing
beach have been greatly increased, and
this popular spot is being made ready
for its annual opening within a few
days. The municipal golf links, which
are being frequently used by President
Harding. and which have called for his
most enthusiastic praise, are being con-
stantly improved and extended, as are
the scores of public tennis courts. The
polo grounds are growing more popular
all the time. and many Washingtonians
are becoming regular attendants at the
matches.
Col. Sheriff. among other things, is
anxious to supply more music to the
public of Washington. and he is now
negotiating for the services this sum-
mer of the Camp Meade and Camp
Humphreys bands. by which, with the
four or five other well known bands
at the disposal of his Office. the musi-
cal end of the public amusement and
entertainment features of the govern
ment in Washington will be greatly
added to.

MR.. WEEKS URGES
NEW WATER LINES
Secretary Says D. C. Item
Not Omitted From Army
Bill on His Suggestion.

Secretary of War Weeks in a state
ment today to The Star representa-
tive corrected an impression which
apparently has developed in certain
quarters that the District water sup
ply item was omitted from the Army
bill because he had listed it as an i'm
provement not absolutely required at
the present time.
The Secretary said he strongly
favored an appropriation at this ses-
sion for new conduit and that he
had made no statements to the SUBJ
committee in charge of the Army bill
which could have caused the omission
Of the conduit item
He expressed the hope Congress
would make an initial appropriation
for new conduit in the deficiency
bill. as recommended by the District
Commissioners.
1t also was stated by the Secretary
that he did not consider the Army bill
the proper measure for carrying Dis
trlct water supply Legislation. but
that he would not make an issue of
this if it meant jeoparGizing the
at this session.
system"
A safe water supply for Washing
ton urgently is needed. he said. and
should be provided at the earliest
moment possible, in either the regu-
lar Army appropriation bill or some
other measure.
Army engineers. Secretary Weeks
said, have explained the water situa-
ton to him and stressed the need of
new conduit as something upon
which the health and welfare of the
people of the District vitally depend.
delay action in the matter would
amount to inviting a complete break
down of the present water supply
Secretary Weeks statement today
brought hope to the District Commits
sioners and water advocates in Con-
gress, who had begun to fear that
misinterpretation of the failure of
the Army bill to carry a conduit item
might seriously impede the efforts be-
ing made to bring about water legis-
lation at this session.
View of the COmmfssioners.
Tho District Commissioners agree
for new conduit should be carried
in District Legislative act and would
like to see the item reported in the
District deficiency bill.
However. they regard the need of
water as the primary thing and will
not interpose technicalities. If it
should develop that the best chance
in connection with the Army bill
they will favor that measure carrying
a conduit, item. just as Secretary
Weeks today said he would. rather
than run the risk of obtaining no

The resolution which the Associa-

citizens committee on the loan shark
question Mr.. Baldwin stated that the
law as now enforced had prevented
legitimate pawnbrokers' loans in the
District OF Columbia from being made
during the past five years, as the rate
of interest allowed was too low to
make the business profitable. He
further declared that Washington was
the only city of its size where such
a law was in force. He stated that
it was unfair to the people who need
