WOMEN ELIGIBLE AS DELE
GATES IN STATE CONVENTION

Jefferson City, Aug. 12.-Women
will be eligible to sit as delegates in
the new state constitutional conven-
ton as result of adoption of the wom-
ems amendment last week, according
to Asst. Atty. Gen. Merrill E. Otis.
There has been some question
whether women would be entitled to
sit as delegates in the convention fol-
lowing the adoption of the amendment
"The law requires that the delegates
to the constitutional convention shall
have the qualifications of state SEN
ator," said Otis, "and under the wom-
ems amendment, they now have those
qualifications"

WARRANTS REQUIRED IN
SEARCH OF HOMES
House Committee Adopts Mild Substi-
tute to Stanley Amendment to
Antibeer Measure.

Washington, August 14.-Dry for
ces in Congress rallied yesterday and
regained some of the ground they lost
in the Senate when the vets, earlier
in the week, compelled adoption Of
Senator Stanley's amendment to the
so-called anti-beer bill providing heavy
fines and Imprisonment for prohibition
officers who fail to conform strictly to
the constitution in enforcing the law.
The House Judiciary Committee
struck out the Stanley amendment and
adopted a mild substitute. Under the
provision of the Stanley amendment
prohibition officers would be subject
to heavy fine and Imprisonment for
searching, or attempting to search,
"any property" without warrant. The
Stanley amendment was broad enough
to prevent the searching of automo-
biles, suit cases or trunks, and afford
ed some relief to those engaged in the
illegal sale and transportation Of
liquor. The drys contended that it
would render enforcement of the
Volstead act impossible.
The substitute agreed upon by the
House Judiciary Committee would linn
it the adoption of the Stanley amend
ment to private dwellings. 1t reads:
"That no officer, agent or employe
Of the United States while engaged in
the enforcement of this act, the ma
tional prohibition act, or any law in
reference to the enforcement of or
taxation of or the traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors shall search any private
dwelling without warrant directing
such search and no such warrant shall
issue unless there is reason to be-
lieve such dwelling is used as a place
in which liquor is manufactured for
sale or sold. The term private dwell !
ing shall be construed to include the
room or rooms occupied, not transient
y, but solely as a residence, in any
apartment, hotel or boarding house.
Any violations of any provision OF
his paragraph shall be punished by
4 fine of not exceeding $1,000 or
not exceeding one year
Or both, such fine and imprisonment
N the discretion Of the court"

lime and phosphate is also being de-
termined.
One test is being made to find out
the best culture methods for corn.
Another test is for the purpose OF
comparing corn and sorghum. The
effects of growing soyheans in corn,
nnder conditions in Southwest Mis-
souri, are being studied.
For wheat and oats experiments
are in progress in connection with

lime and fertilizers, applied separately
