Feb. 10.—A re- _ port is expected to-day from the joint : tive committee that yesterday H @ hearing in the fight to _ Overthrow the Eighteenth Amendment and upsct the Volstead Enforcement Act. The hearing was on Gov.’ Ed- wards’s 4 per cent. Beer Bill. » Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Shipon League, and Wil- Ham D. Guthrie, associated with Elihu Root, were chosen as leaders for the “drys” and “wets,” respectively. But for a long drawn out debate on the woman suffrage question, which kept the Legistature in session until early | “Mr. Wheeler admits,” ‘think that any such procedure id be wise. The league has al- ‘Ways opposed such a course.” said Mr, Guthrie, “that the definition con- tained In the act of Congress is taise and that instead of prohibiting bev- erages that are intoxicating they pro- hibit those which are non-intoxicat- Ing. Innocent acts, according to Mr. Wheeler, must be prohibited in order that other acts which the Anti-Sa- loon League thinks are not innocent, may be prevented. “Mr. Wheeler's admission |s inter- esting in this, that {f Congress can Prohibit by amendment the use of beverages which are not intoxicating it can go further and prohibit alco- holic liquids for sacramental pur- poses. “The advocate of the league has at last been unmasked. If the Volstead act is sustained, Congress can pro- hibit whatever it sees fit. Do you know what. that means? It means that the holy sacrifice of the mass can be carried on only by suffrage of the Anti-Saloon League of America and it be prohibited at any time the | © deems it necessary to carry threuth its fanatical cam- paign. “Mr, Wheeler has come here and to-day, the joint committee might 1 have made its report last night. . Mr. Wheeler, speaking, in op- . position to the 4 per cent. Beer E. Bill, admitted that beverages con- 4 ~~ taining one-half of 1° per cent. A % alcohol were not intoxicating. Upon 1° Deine questioned by members of the * “committee, the league's counsel stated that Congress has power to prohibit i the use of alcohol for sacramental and cs Toverage purposes. ‘ . ’ “However,” added Mr, Wheeler, “I told you what is your duty. Ho tells| You to follow the example of Western and Southern States, You have one duty, and that is to the people of the State of New Jersey. Pay no heed to the crack of the whip of the Anti- Saloon League. You owe no duty to the people of the South and West. Your duty will be fulfilled when you have safeguarded the people of New Jersey from the tryanny and oppres- gion of a measure which seeks to place into every household a detective terfere with their personal liberty.” Mr. Guthrie came to Trenton ac- companied by Drs. Smith Ely Jellifte and Charles A. Rosewater of Ni York and Hobart Amory Hare anv John Marshall of Philadelphia. Af-| fidavits submitted to the joint com-| mittee by the physicians held that, af- ter numerous experiments conducted during the last nine months, it has been found that beverages containing 4 and even 5 per alcohol, by vol- ume, are non-int ting | —> |NEW YORK STATE ASKED TO DEFINE | |INTOXICATING DRINK) | Cuvillier Bill Also Seeks Court Test} | of Validity of Eighteenth 1 Amendment. | ALBANY, Feb. 10.—Another propo- | gal to determine by scientific test how much alcohol a beverage must contain to make it intoxicating was presented to the Assembly last night by Louis A.

There are heavily worked borders of conventional flowers, scroll work, leaf and block designs. Several of the pat- terns, we believe, were inspired by ancient Egyptian de- signs, suggesting scarabs and other interesting symbols of a past civilization. These borders are worked in softly blending colors—several shades of blue, jade, henna and gold. Many of the most attractive patterns are embroidered in rich black silk.
