Senator James J. Davis is on record for fmmediate modification of the Vol- stead act and substitution of the eight- eenth amendment with a plan of State lquor control. He announced this position last night in making known his candidacy for re- election to the seat he won in Novem- ber, 1930, At that time he ran on the Republican national platform with its enforcement plank, adding a declara- tion that he would await for a final prohibition decision the report of the Wickersham Commission In his new stand he adopted the | constitutional program of the late Sen- ator Morrow of New Jersey, who an- nounced himself prepared to vote for a constitutional amendment to “restore |to the States the power to determine | their policy toward the liquor traffic | and vest in the Federal Government full power to give all possible co-operation and assistance to those States that de- sire prohibition against invasion from the States that do not.” Because constitutional change must take a long time, Davis espoused in the meantime “such a_modification in the Volstead law as will permit the regu- lated use of beer and light wines, not ntoxicating in fact The Pennsylvanian, who gave up a | cabinet post to enter the Senate. must JOHNS kEolcmE BUILDS STRENGTH QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION t is the joyful cry of thousands Dr. Edwards produced Olive the substitute for calomel a practicing physi and calomel’s old discovered the formul ts while treating pa- nic constipation and ve Tablets do not contain calo- st a healing, soothing vege- axative safe and pleasant is the ‘“keynote” of e sugar-coated, olive-col- They help cause the er to act normally. ce them to unnatural| tablets. bowels and They never for these ored “dark brown mouth” tired feeling— | s headache—torpid liver—consti- | pation, you should find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two | of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. have a breath—a dull, night | 0c, 60c.

Since the Navy Department told Con- gress & few da at it would like to sell the dirigible U. S. S. Los Angeles competition has been developing among those who would like to own the vet- eran ariship. First, Rear Admiral William A. Mof- fett, chief of the Navy's Aeronautics Bureau, and other officers suggested that the Geodyear Zeppelin Corporation buy the ship. Then, Howard Hughes, movie producer, let it be known he would like to have her for a thriller. Yesterday, Representative Branner Democrat, New York, told Moffett that it the ship were sold, Edward H Holmes, who operates the Holmes Air- port at Jackson Heights, Long Island would like to have a chance to bid ‘We might be willing to better the $500,000 the Navy wants” Brunner said. “At any rate, Mr. Holmes would | like to bid for her. He would use her in commercial transportation, probably on long trips. He isn't contemplating a transatlantic service at present.” Brunner added that if Holmes should obtain the Los Angeles its name prob- ably “would be changed to Long Island or something ltke that.” Wild Strawberries Are Ripe.
