Women For Dry

The most novel plan yet
brought forward to enforce pro-
hibiti0n was carried to the White
House yesterday by Mrs. Clifford
Pinchot, wife Of the new gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. who
has embarked upon q campaign
to dry up all the cases in the

Mrs. Pinchot proposed to Presi-
dent Harding that he put prohi-
bition enforcement entirely in the
hands of women, discarding most
of the men sleuths now on the
pay rolls:
"This is no JOKE" said Mrs.
Pinchot, when she emerged from
the Presidents office. "I'm Sc
rious. I can get 5000 suitable
women at once to enforce the
prohibition laws-and they will
enforce them, too. They won't
be subject to the brides that are
now such a scandal in prohibition
enforcement.

he would take it up with Com

BILL FIGHT
CONTINUES
BITTER
Passage of Big Army Supply
Measure Strengthens
Subsidy Supporters.
BY international News Service.

The ship subsidy bill, officially
displaced from its preferred posi-
ton as the unfinished business"
Of the Senate, was sailing through
the same rough waters today as the
coalition battalion of death" con-
tinued q filibuster against its pas
cage.
Supporters Of the measure were in
a stronger position as a result of
strategic maneuvers which enabled
them to finally enact the army ap-
preparation bill. the last OF the great
Government supply measures, which
had been caught behind the legisla-
tive jam caused by the filibuster.
To do this, the subsidy was laid
aside, but the army bill had been
counted on to serve the insurgents
with ammunition in their fight to
cause abandonment Of the Admins
tration's ship bill
The parliamentary tactics, how
ever, forced the Administrator
leaders to face two test votes before
the subsidy can again be brought
under Senatorial consideration. A
motion by Senator Jones of Wash
ington. to take up the subsidy again
was pending when the Senate con-
vened. but leaders Of the filibuster
announced they would Immediately
move to substitute the Ladd filled
milk" bill.
This brought the subsidy back to
practically the same position it
occupied yesterday, but with the
army supply bill out of the way.
II thu n CT fSor1 oo~o 5oFook %Ia
Laid motion, it can also return the
subsidy to it's preferred position.
Administration leaders predicted a
majority vote on both tests.
The battalion of death" continued
optimistic, it's leaders announcing
they had no intention of delaying or
preventing passage Of the great
supply bill.
'The Democratic side aided the
Administration in enacting all ap-
preparation bills, and we did not
vary our position in this instance"
said Senator Fletcher. 1--WE are in
the same spot we were yesterday.
but without having had to debate
the subsidy all night long. 1t has
just brought us one day nearer our
goal-the adjournment of Congress.
The action of the Administration in
permitting the subsidy to be laid
aside makes their journey to it's
enactment one step further. The
bill can never be passed"
Republican insurgents, led by
Senator Brookhart, expressed the
same opinion. They declared the
Administration had added one more
obstacle to the enactment Of the
subsidy.
With only ten legislative days re-
naming before adjournment the fill
busterers declared they had seventy
hours Of speeches yet to be made
against its enactment. This supply
or orations. speeches, addresses and
talk. they say, will carry the fill
buster up to March 4.
