OF the beer bill to the Senate. Then.
he said, the discussion turned to franz
ing the language so as not to make it
necessary to declare the beer non-irl-
toxicatii1g and unconstitutional.
Moral Issue May Be Decision.
Moral rather than legal issues may
determine whether President Hoover
VIII sign the bill II 1t reaches him.
Leading Government legal authorities
70 whom the President would turn for
ADVICE on the constitutionality OF the
proposed legahzation are denying all
private requests for an Official express
sion Of their opinions, but informally
they express as many and varied views
as there are lawyers discussing the
subject.
There are those on the inner circle
OF the administration who put aside
the question of constitutionality and
turn to the broader moral question Of
nullncatlon." Although as reticent as
the President himself on what the fate
OF the beer bill would be should it reach
the White House, some of his closest
advisers hint they consider this point
more important than the legal issue.
Opinions On Legality Differ.
Their attitude Is that no matter what
might have been the sentiment for or
against repeal or resubmission. as
represented In the recent elections, the
beer Dill does not meet the prohibition
issue as such.
Borah, q dry law supporter, also take
the view that repeal must be dealt with
before modification.
Some leading attorneys held the opin-
ion that the Collier bill, II enacted into
law. would be con- -titutional. An cp-
posite view is taken by attorneys for dry
organizations.
Those believing the bill valid base
their arguments on the one point of
whether a court would take judicial
cogniZarce Of 80 beer as an intoxicating
beverage. They believe not. saying
court would weigh heavily passage Of
the bill by Congress as indicating it did
not consider such beer forbidden by the
eighteenth amendment.
Peculiar Situation Faced,
They make further point that If the
courts held 80 beer by weight uncon-
stitutional, why not one-half CT l per
cent by volume, as provided in the VOL
stead act. since some State courts have
ruled that beverage containing any
alcohol is an Intoxicating beverage.
Many of those opposed to beer on the
grounds it would lead to notification Of
the Constitution forbidding "intoxicat-
ing beverages" base their stand on the
peculiar legal situation in which the
Government would find itself in the
event the bill became law and was at
tackled in the courts
A bill passed by Congress and signed
by the President is assumed to be con-
stitutional until adjudged otherwise by
the courts. Thus, they say, the gov
ernmental agencies, which for the last
II years have used every possible means
to combat attacks on the prohibition
laws, would have to defend just as vig-
orously beverage now held outside the

HAVE YOU A SUPPRESS ED DESIRE for a beautiful
 diamond ring?

A chap who is hard up and needs the money badly sends us ring that must have cost somebody a lot of money awhile ago when money was easier, and offers to take a ridiculous price if he can get quick action.
 We have very little demand for Engagement Rings at more than one hundred dollars, and we have plenty on hand at higher prices, so we made arrangements to try to sell it for him for a small com mission.
 It is a platinum hand made lady's ring of medium size, con- taining one large center stone weighing more than three-fourths of a karat of excellent color and we can find no flaws in it. It is surrounded with twelve smaller dia- monds of good size and color. The style and brilliance of the ring is beautiful and it must have sold for about seven to eight hundred dol lars when bought. There is no perceptible wear and we unhesitat- ingly recommend it to any one in- terested at his price of three hun dred dollars.
 If you can afford this ring and can afford to keep it few years we believe you will make some money. You cannot lose unless the whole country goes busted. For a few days only.
