DRY LID
By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH

Another step to tighten the pro-
hibitIon lid was taken today when
Gen. Il. q. Andrews, dry car, ~
proved an amendment to the Vol
stead act which would make JAIL
or penitentiary sentences cOmpul-
sorry in cases OF conviction.
Under the Nolstead act as Il now
stands. Federal courts have the OPP

sentences against first offenders.
Minimum penalties would be con
sfderabIy more severe under the
Andrews amendment.
Along with other changes II the
national prohibition act, customs
ans internal revenue laws, the pro-
m@- was submitted to Attorney
General Sargent for approval.
If the drastic amendment Gets
Sargent's o. K, az was anticipated
by the Treasury, It may be laid
before President Coolidge by Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Mellon.
The Presidents backing was
Anticipated for the Treasury's legis-

Although no special menu
has been planned, since not all
housewives will wish to serve
special dishes for this day, it
will be good TO think about the
possibilities of varying the
Sunday meals.
The Easter breakfast, for ex-
ample. may be made very lovely
by letting the children deco

Of Springlike colors. Any num-

for these eggs.
Later in the day, for lunch
con or dinner, attractive favors
made in the shape of bananas
and decorated. with ribbons are
most alluring. Bunnies for
place cards and little flowers at
each place will make the sim
plest form of home meal very
festive indeed. There may be
chicks, and let the after -dlnner
nuts and bonbons be served In
cunning little boxes with the
bunnies and chicks riotiug
across the covers. These de-
vices may also be had in crepe
paper. If the children have
artistic ability. SO much the bet
ter. They may then design or
even copy their own decora-
tions.
a violet and green luncheon
will be pretty for Easter. Serve
a cream of green pea soup. Let
the main dish be a delicate let
tuce salad combined with eggs,
cottage cheese and sprinkled
with chopped nuts. The des-
sert may be white or violet ice
cream, accompanied by violet
frosted cakes, and the decora-
tions as suggested by the plan
in accordance with this scheme.
