FEDERAL DRY s LAW SUPREME Anti-Saloon League Attorney Interprets Amendment. BOSTON. Mass., May 15.— Section 2 of the eighteenth amendment, containing the ■words ‘concurrent poTrer,’ means that thet states hare delegated to congress power to enact such legislation as that body deems appropriate to enforce the prohibition of intoxicating liquora for here rage, while the states retain the power to enact such legislation for the same purpose as does not permit that which the federal law prohibits nor does in any other way conflict with the federal law,” says Orville S. Pollard, attorney of the Massachusetts Anti-Saloon league, in discussing the phrase which reads: “The congress and the several states shall hare concurrent power to enforce this article its appropriate legislation." •ftefore the submission of the prohlbitiaa amendment' continued Mr. Poland, •“twenty-eight states had prohibition by sUJtute, or constitutional amendment with the addition of local option units, 90 per cent of the territory and over 80 per cent of the population of the country was dry. NATIONAL UNIFORMITY PURPOSE OF LAW. “It may be fairly presumed that if it were possible to secure elective enforcement of prohibition by the local unit method that there would never have been any agitation for national or constitutional prohibition. “And ao the fundamental purpose of the amendment, conceded by friend and foe alike, was national uniformity, which must of necessity Include a uniform maxisam of alcoholic content and such other teddents of enforcement as may be required to make that enforcement effective. “It is highly significant that at no time prior to the ratification of the amendment was it seriously urged that A state would have the power to pass legislation differing in any essential det ree frem the federal law. “In fact. 1: was frequently and loudly contended 1 hat a dry South might ‘force’ prohibition on a wet New York. “It is scarcely imaginable that the reolve of amendment could have passed he acrutlny of congress and of the legslat u res of all of the forty-eight states, :o say nothing of countless counsel, and it the same time contain a clause which would vitiate the conceded fundamental purpose of the amendment itself. WITHOUT POWER BEFORE RATIFICATION. “Prior to the ratification of the eighteenth amendment, congress, which la possessed of only enumerated and delegated powers and such powers as are necessarily implied from them, had no power to prohibit intoxicating liquors. All congressional legislation to this end was enacted as an exercise of war power or the power to regulate interstate commerce or to levy raxes. “Accordingly In the first draft of the

BRITAIN WORKS OUT RAIL PLAN System Divided Into Four Operating Districts. LONDON. England, May 15. A scheme for the future administration of the railways of Groat Britain has been drawn up, it Is understood, by the ministry of transport, and Is now under consideration by the cabinet. This scheme provides for distribution of the railways of England and Wales into four well-defined districts, based largely upon working agreements which were in operation between groups of railway companies prior to the war. The districts into which it is proposed to group the railways are, according to Modern Transport, us follows: 1. Northeastern and central system: Great Central, Great Eastern, Great Norahern and North Eastern railways, mileage 4,772. 2. Northwestern and Midland system: London A North Western, Midland, Lancashire & Yorkshire, and North Staffordshire railways, mileage 4.399. 3. Southwestern and South Coast system : London A Southwestern, London Brighton A South Coast anil South Eastern & Chatham ratlways, mileage 2.108. 4. Western and Wales system: Great Western, Cambrian & South Wales railways, mileage 3.IHM. SEPARATE LONDON AND SCOTTISH LINES. “The Scottish railways will together constitute a separate district, and the electric railways of London will form another, as It is realized that In the latter case the best working results will be obtained by treating these undertakings separately. "The new plans have not yet been worked out In their entirety, ns oxten sive alterations have to he made In the present system of inter-company 'running powers,' which together result in the expenditure of much unnecessary euglne power. Limited running powers will, however, continue to exist between the various groups to facilitate the working of cross country service, whilst superfluoua goods and passenger trains will be withdrawn. ROLLING STOCK TO BE POOLED. The locomotive and rolling stock, in the various groups will be pooled and a largo amount of recording and other work, formerly carried out by officials of the railway clearing house, will he dispensed with. “In arriving at what is eonaidered to be a fundamentally economic division of the railways, the minister of transport has been obi •ged to pay due regard to two factors. The first was the necessity for balenclng the groups in areas of as nearly ns possible equally relative Importance from a commercial point of view, as It was realized that eich must be self-con-tained in the matter of population and industry with Its own route to the metropolis. Secondly. It was essential that minimum disturbances should be caused to

existing undertakings, and, therefore, it bns been decided to follow certain well defined lines of development which were apparent before the war rather than adhere to a strictly geographical distribution.’’ BRAZILIANS SEEK GOODS FROM U. S. Mississippi Valley- South America Trade Route Urged. ST. LOI'IS, May 15.—Admiral Cordeiro de Graca of the Brazilian navy has spent some time here advocating a plan whereby steamers may ply between South America and the inland waterway ports of the Mississippi valley. The St. Louts Chamber of Commerce has been greatly impressed with the plan and its foreign trade bureau Is now studying the possibilities. "America is asleep so far as trade with South America is concerned,” said Admiral Cordeiro de Graca. "Brazil has waited, and is waiting, patiently for the United States to send ohlpe down there with American goods, and take Brazilian raw materials. “Brazil would rather trade with the United Statea tbun with any other country. “Brazil is at the door of the Mississippi, and I wonder why it is necessary for the people of the great Mississippi valley to get raw products by way of New York. “The valley can get into direct touch and reap untold benefit, commercially, if It will only awaken to the full possibilities.” Dr. Sebastiao Snmpalo, recently appointed commercial attache for Brazil at Washington, is aiding Admiral de Graca In outlining the proposed steamer service. Both Brazilians emphasize the ne<-p* sity of an American merchant marine and state that the end of actual hostilities in the world war ushered In a commercial struggle that will be of intense bitterness. It is asserted that the contest for supremacy of the seas has started, and that European countries are actively competing now for South American business.

Saturday Feature of The Times HELPFUL HINTS ON POULTRY Artlclo 0. Need for More Poultry.

By FREDERICK J. CRICK, Former Extension Poultry Ilusbnndmrvn. United State* Department of Agriculture. The future outlook for poultry product* is now brighter than ever before.. Tn the poultry industry, the period of prosperity has come. The reason for these statements lay In the fact that a large portion of the world Is today ! actually starving. The meet supply of ! the world Is limited and can riot be replenished for many years to come. Other food supplies are equally ns short, and because of these conditions the peoples of all nations will have to depend more than ever before upon poultry and eggs to keep the table full. Dut to the fact that the wheat crop will be short and that the farmer is short of labor, putting in only enough corn In the ground that he can care for properly himself, making the price of grain exceedingly high to feed beef , find pork stock, one can easily see that the demand for poultry and eggs will be greater than ever. Asa result of these conditions, persons having a few feet of space will be paid excellent returns by keeping a few chickens. Much of their feed can be supplied from table scraps. Present prices of poultry indicate tha, future prices will be much higher, and even though the price of grain has ad vanned, the prices of poultry have advanced and will advance in greater proportion. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Mr. Crick—l have two hens that were egg-bourd. I removed one egg from one of the birds but the other several days after. What can be the cause? Also had another bird which acted sluirtflsh and seemed crippled. T killed It and found the liver greatly enlarged. MBS. R. F. D. Jeffersonville, Ind. Answer—As to the bird being eggtiound there are several causes why

this should heppen. Imperfect formation of the oviduct, unusually large eggs, lack of moisture inside the oviduct below the point where the shell Is formed, and sometimes the twisting of the egg sideways. Hens that are orerfat and not getting sufficient exercise are subject to this trouble. Enlargement of the liver is usually the result of overfeeding. The most satisfactory way of treatment is to change the diet and reduce the proportion of fat producing feeds in the ration. Give less food and Induce hens to exercise, using deep litter to scratch in. Plenty of green food is also essential.
