followed by five companies of

BILLS
To AMEND
STATUTE
DUE
Both Vets and Drys Are Lin
ing Up Forces for Radical
Changes.
By VIM. X. HUTCHINSON,
International News Service staff
Correspondent.


The Volstead law, which has
now become an international
issue, is in for the greatest pull
ing and hauling of its career at
the hands of the next Congress.
Five Bells Framed.
This became assured today when
plans of both vets and drys became
known. No less than five changes
in the law will be proposed at the
outset of the new Congress, with
probably many more to come. The
five amendatory bills already
framed are:
1. To permit the sale of per
cent beer, proposed by Senator
Edge Rep.l of New Jersey, leader
of the vets in the Senate;
2. To legalize beer and light
wines,' championed by Congress-
man Hill Repl of Maryland, House
wet leader;
8. To extend the ''three-mile" dry
zone to three nautical leagues or
nine miles, suggested by Senator
Sterling Rep3 Of South Dakota,
Senate dry leader;

American ships everywhere, pro-
posed by Senator Sterling, and,
5. To legaIize the transportation
of liquors as stores" aboard
foreign vessels within American
waters, sponsored by the Admin
iStration.
In addition, Congress will be
asked by Senator Spencer Rep.l of
Mo-, to create a 'booze-finding
commission to officially determ-
inc what constitutes Intoxicating
liquors. Spencer would have this
commission's report used as a basis
for amending the VoIstead Act to
legalize the sale Of such liquors as
are not intoxicating.
Edge Assails- Law.
"The Volstead Act is an unfair,
unjust and confused Interpretation
of the prohibition amendment"
Senator Edge declared today in ex-
planning his wet fight. "The reg
ulatory law went further than the
parent law. The Eighteenth Amend
ment merely prohibits intoxicating
liquors while the Volstead Act pro-
hibits all alcoholic liquors. If the
amendment was intended to read

MISSING WORD CLASSICS.

Contribs have always shown an
interest in missing word poems of
a classical nature, and H. b.
Rossel submits below a famous
classic, with it's form changed,
and asks how many contribs can
give the original classic:
A 'bOotlegger'' sat wrapped in his
"OVercOat" gray,
Watching the radiance" of moon
beams play
On jug Of whisky that near him
lay,
And this song did he sing:
"ThOu 'cOntrOllesH the mighty, thou
'persuAdest' the strong,
The outcome Of battle does to thee
belong"
And the wind with a "murmur'' took
up the song:
John BarleycOrn, the King"
For the seven words that are
quoted individually substitute
seven other words, which words
must be synonymous, or nearly
so, with the original words. The
new words all have the same
number Of letters and all of the
words must be made of identicalIy
the same letters.
