WEARY OF BEER TALK? STUFF EARS House to Start Quiz Tuesday Along With Senate — Then the Campaign. BISHOP BEFORE SOLONS * Submits Five-Fold Plan for Tighter Enforcement. H ,7 Timex Soccia! WASHINGTON, April 19.—There is nothing- except bad news to report for those who are growing tired of this talk about prohibition. More talk is likely before there is less. What we are hearing now is only tho preliminary work-out of the larynx for the local period of verbal activity that lies ahead. Time is proving that the lute Mr. Harding, whatever his short comings may have been, was a good prophet when he said that prohibition would be a political football for twenty years. If ho erred, it probably was on the side of conservatism unless tlie vocal organs of the American public are duo to givo out sooner than our best statisticians anticipate. House Next As the {senate beer hearings reach the seventh inning, the House Alcoholic Liquor Traffic Committee is about to organize for its hearings on prohibition. It will meet Tuesday, and the hearings probably will be as long as the Senato hearings, for the i louse, always jealous of the public attention the Senate gets, will try to make Its hearings j uat as prolonged. Congress often is condemned for its great capacity to talk, but its capacity for voluminous hearings probably is greater. used about half of their alotted twen-ty-four hours and the wets all except twei hours.

Wets Absurd, Says Food Expert Beer, Wines Gone to Stay and We’re Better Off, Dr. Wiley Believes.

Dr. Harvey W. Wiley.

“I am a fundamentalist on prohibition. The only change I would make In the present dry law is to make enforcemeent more strict and the conutry drier.” With these words today I)r. Harvey W. Wiley, former head of the Bureau of Chemistry in the Department of Agriculture, and famous pure food expert, who arrived in Indianapolis to address the Sons of the Revolution at diuner at the Woodstock Country Club tonight, opened a vigorous attack on modification of the Volstead act to permit light wines and beers. Dr. Wiley is a brother of U. Z. Wiley, 908 Fletcher Savings and Trust Company Bldg. After Ills aklret*s lr. Wiley will hasten back to Washington to ap- • pear Thursday as a witness in tlie prohibition l waring before the Sesv ate Judiciary (Vwnmlttee. The present drive for light -wines and beer, under the claim that such beverages are not in fact intoxicating, is absurd,” Dr. Wiley continued. "It is'merely an attempt to bring back drings with a kick in them.” No Minimum "There is no minimum of alcoholic content that can he said truthfully to be nonintoxicating. “Even one-half of one percent alcohol,' as now allowable under the Volstead act, may in fact prove intoxicating to some people, Invalids and children. As for wine with 11 per cent everybody knows that Ls intoxicating. “General Andrews. Federal prohibition director, clearly violates the law when he permits the -So-called malt tonic of 3.76 per cent alcohol to be manufactured and sold. The beverage ls intoxicating and will he drunk for the kick and not for health. “The 3.75 per cent beer has no food or medicinal value whatever. "It is claimed to be particularly beneficial to nursing mothers. As far its they are concerned, it is worth nothing. “Milch cows fed on the stuff would dry up. Asa tonic the present nonalcoholic near beer on the market is just as good as the 3.75 beer. “I believe sentiment in the country is overwhelmingly dry. Os the preachers 70 per cent are in favor of the dry- law, and 80 per cent of the women and over 50 per cent of the men voters.” " Parallels Burbank Wiley’s religious theories closely parallel tho recent pronouncement of the late Luther Burbank. Said Wiley: “If there is a fundamentalist Hell, I want to keep out. If there is a Heaven, I want to go. But my interest is concentrated on the here and now. “On the point of future life I do not know. People so generally make the error of speculating about the unfathomable future or of regretting the mistakes that are pasL Uvo for today. Don’t give a thought to yesterday or tomorrow.”
