TO obtain the precise tone and quail

purest copper and tin. In the proper

WASHINGTON, Mar. 25.--..The

by the newspaper poll apparently
has had little effect on the prohi-

y United Press poll of the sen

Several seniors asserted that the

Others charged that "only those

On the other hand, the few
'Wcts' said that the newspaper
poll was significant and indicated
definite trend against prohibition.
Some of those classed as "doubt-
ful y suggested that the question
ought to be put to a nationwide
referendum to end the argument.
Other doubtful' senators said
they wanted to "sce what legisla-

modification, before declaring
their stand.
1t is certain from the results of
the United Press poll that any beer
