THIRSTY PLEAD.
IN CONGRESS
FOR BEER
Witnesses Dry Physically But

for Foamy Beverage.

international News Service.

Congress, through its House
Judiciary Committee, was quite sur
prised today to learn that there is
some agitation in the country for
beer with gentle shove in it if
not real kick.
The legislators had been stunt
bnng along in their well-meaning
way, thinking the nation was very
happy, content and in love with
life. But today witnesses galore,
with parched tongues and dry
throats, flocked to the Capitol to
tell Congress the fifty-nine bills, all
alike, which have been introduced
to give been 2.75 alcoholic content
were not fooling.
Procession Begins Early
The procession up Capitol Hill
began shortly after dawn. Flocks
''Tof the thirsty, who nearly had for
gotten how to say Draw two
more" trudged toward the mirage
under the foam-colored dome. There
they went before the judiciary
Committee and gave sincere indorse-
ment to fifty-nine separate and
distinct bills that would allow the
manufacture and sale Of beer with
real wallop.
In all directions from the sun
baken Capitol Hill the witnesses
gazed for succor. Not a bar in sight.
So they turned their attention 10 the
Judiciary Committee and one and
all cried with right good Will:
"Give us beer!"
And when they said beer, they
meant beer. Not the sort OF stuff
That fit to wash a buggy or a dog
with. Not the weak, spineless
Habby fluid that gurgles into one
and lies there.
The Kind They Want.
They meant beer that will moi
hesitate to use its elbows and Its
toes to make itself known to the
inner man. SO they all put theii
