Republican anti prohibit
tionists held a caucus before
the house convened, but broke
up in disagreement when old
line leaders insisted on the
privilege of attempting to
amend the bill.
A test of wet and dry strength
came on motion to have the house
consider striking out the bills en-
acting clause. This would have had
the effect of killing the beer meas
ure forthwith. The amendment was
defeated, 1853 to 118.
Refuse to Reduce Tax
The O'Connor amendment was
defeated without a record vote
An attempt by Representative La
Guardia CRep., N. " to secure a
vote on other amendments taxing
beverages other than beer was ruled
out of order.
This decision, made by Represen-
tatlVe Bankhead Dem, AlaO. the
presiding officer, was of importance
as a precedent. 1t will bar anv at
tempts to write other taxing pro-
visions, notably the sales tax. into
pending beer legislation.
Representative Palmisano dem.
Md sought to amend the bill to
reduce the proposed tax from SIS to
So barrel. The old-time Baltimore
saloon man said his reason was to
enable "the working man to get a,
glass Of beer for a nickel"
Hold 80 Per Cent Clause
Representative Treadway (Rep
Mass replied the SIS tax had been
decided upon because it would re-
turn the maximum revenue and in
sisted beer under it could be sold for
cents. The amendments was de-
feated.
The Republican leadership sought
TO amend the bill, when Represen-
taClVe Kitchener (Mich), assistant
Republican leader, introduced an
amendment to reduce the maximum
alcoholic content from 80 per cent
by weight to 2.75 per cent. This was
rejected. ~

THAT BODY OF YOURS
BY JAMES w. BARTON, NJ. d.

Coughs are divided into two classes,
those that are trying to rid the throat
and chest of some mucous obstruction
by expectorating (spitting) and those
that are just irritating and have no
useful purpose.
Thus, as DR.. Stuart Pritchard points
out, the eXpectorant cough has pur-
pose and should be aided. The irrltant
cough serves no good purpose and
should be stopped or suppressed.
Both types of cough have their char
acteriStic sounds, and both may occur
in the same patient The SOUNDS of an
expectorant cough are always linked to-
gether, and once begun this cough can
be checked only with difficulty until it
ends with the usual characteristic
sound of the eXpectoration coming up
from the lower part of the throat.
The sounds of an irritant cough on
the other hand, are independence and
may be likened to separate blows OF a
hammer The irritant cough not only
fails to serve any useful purpose but if
unchecked may be dangerous. The Ill
effects OF unchecked severe irritant
coughing may cause complications in
early stages of influenza, spread infec-
ton to the pleural coverings of the
lungs in pneumonia, aggravate pain.
cause loss of sleep and interfere With
the hearts action.
The thought then is that with any
severe cough the family physician
should be consulted SO that the cough
may be aided or stopped, according to
its cause.

talking back quite out of the question.
This problem ought never to arise.
When it does it indicates that the child
has not been admitted into the councils
of the family. He has not been ac-

j. s. REGULATION OF
HIGHWAY COMMERCE
Also Suggests Water and Rail
Carriers be Encouraged
to Use Roads

Washington, April 18.-(P)-The In
terstate Commerce Commission Mon
day recommended federal regulation
OF motor vehicles engaged In Inter-
state commerce and that railroads and
water lines be encouraged to use the
public highways.
The commissions decision In the
form of recommendations which are
expected to be transmitted to con-
gress, makes the following findings:
That transportation by motor We
hicles. buses and trucks, over the
public highways is, within certain
distances. and In certain respects a
superior service and that the rail and
water lines should be encouraged in
the use of this instrumentality of
commerce wherever such use will pro-
mote more efficient operation or i'm
prove the public service.
THAT there Is substantial competi-
ton between rail and water carriers
on the one hand and motor carriers
on the other for the transportation of
both passengers and freight and that
this competition Is increasing.
THAT such competition is conduct
ed under conditions of inequality,
in regard to regulation.
THAT contributing cause. aside
from the general business conditions,
of the present unsatisfactory financial
condition Of the railroads, Is the ex-
istence OF unrestrained competition
by rival transportation agencies.
THAT there Is today and probably
would be under normal conditions an
excess of carrying capacity Of exist
ing transportation facilities.
That unrestrained competition Is
an impossible solution of the present
transportation problem and is incom-
patible with the aims Of coordination
under regulation.
THAT federal legislation relating to
the regulation of motor vehicles oper-
ating upon the public highways and
engaged in interstate commerce Is de-
sirable in the public interest"
