THE MORNIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, 3IARCII SO, 1920 7, i -i EARLY DECISION ON PROHIBITION LIKELY Supreme Court Judgment in April Expected. . "-i i - -t i MORE ARGUMENTS HEARD 'Perversion of Constitution," Says Elihu Root, in Protest Against the Eighteenth Amendment. i I WASHINGTON". March 29. A possi bility that the supreme court might nass final ludement on prohibition questions before it by the middle of next month was seen by some oDserv rs today in the announcement that the court recess to be taken after ar- amenta on these cases, probably to morrow, would extend to April 19 in stead of April 12. The opinion was expressed that a decision might be rendered Immediately when the court reconvenes. . Further argument on questions . ,' touching the validity of the consti- . t tutional amendment and the enforce- i ment act was presented today. They .' were in connection with the original euit brought by New Jersey as well aa appeals from that state and Wis . " ' consin. The Rhode Island. Kentucky ' end Massachusetts cases already have '. . been argued and will be considered ." at the same time. Klibu Root, representing Christian - Geigenspan. a brewer of Newark, N. J.; Attorney-General Thomas F. Mc r ' i Cran of New Jersey, in opposition to the constitutional amendment, and ' - ,.f Assistant Attorney-General William L. Frierson for the government, ad V . m dressed the court. '' Perversion, Says Mr. Root. " Mr. Root characterized the prohibl- . -. tion amendment as new legislation " , made under "color of an amendment" j ' '. affecting personal rights. If its va-i iidity was upheld, he said, the effect . 'lm.' would be that the court recognized ' In addition to the legislative power of congress and states, a third lcgis- - lative power, enactment of legisla . ! tion by consent of three-fourths of ' '', the states, which, he said, would be ..' "a perversion not only of the word ; but of the whole tone of the consti- . , tution." 'Jt is of little consequence," Mr. Koot said, "if there be or be not pro- '" i bibition in this country. It is of vast j consequence. however. that your ' Jionors now decide rightly and for the .' ' j good of our country in the future if there are to be any limits to the power . ' of amendment and where the line of '. 'i limitation is to be drawn. i '"I insist that your honors are not . , ' ; at liberty to put a construction of the , ' j power to amend that will overturn the fundamental character of this government unless the language of the article is too plain to admit a question." Soper-Legialatlon Seen. Mr. Root argued that the original bill of rights on which the federal constitution was founded would be 6wept away if the amendment were sustained, and laws enacted as con stitutional amendments would be made superior to other laws. This would mean, he added, that "we are not a government of limited powers because there is a legislative body that is not subject to those limita tions." Replying to an inquiry by Associate Justice Day, Mr. Root said that only two ways existed to insert a prohibi tion amendment in the constitution to transfer power to regulate the liquor traffic to congress, as was done regarding interstate commerce, or to call a convention to propose amend ments on the same authority, as was done for the original constitution. "I contend that they have not put that power into the hands of the amending authorities." Tie said. day's effort yesterday.

CHEAP WOOL NOT COMING EXPERT SAYS ENGLAND HAS SITUATION" IX HAND. i .'V Early recognition of the symptoms f anemia will often save a great deal of worry and avoid much sickness and suffering. Thin-blooded people who are weakened to the point where ex haustion follows siight effort some times notice a fluttering and palpita tion of the heart. This often leads them to fear that they have heart trouble. Anemia is very often accom panied by indigestion. This leads suf ferers to think they have organic stomach trouble. In most of these cases all that is needed is a reliable tonic that will so replenish and build up the blood that It can carry nourishment to the organs that are suffering because of a lack of the vital fluid. Try the remedy that Mrs. Cornelia DeHeer of No. 2325 Lincoln avenue, Ogden. Utah, recom mends and see how speedily the en tire system is toned up when the blood becomes rich and well-oxidized. "I had been in poor health for five years." said Mrs. DeHeer, when seen recently at her home. "I don't know how I endured all the suffering I did and still remained alive. I became so run-down and thin-blooded that I had severe spells of nervousness. During these spells there was a pressing down sensation on the top of my head which almost drove me wild. There was also a sharp pain in my left side and in my stomach. My eyes were affect ed and I lost a great deal of sleep. "I tried several medicines that were prescribed but they didn't help me. One day I decided to try Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills as I had used the pills with great benefit while a resi dent of Belgium. 1 had only taken them a few days when my husband remarked that I looked better. I felt better, too. and continued taking the pills. Slowly my strength returned, my color improved and I began to feel more like myself. The nervousness had practically disappeared and I no longer suffer from pains in my head, stomach or heart. I have gained weight, sleep better and enjoy my food. I strongly recommend Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills and urge others not to wait as long as I did before trying them." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or direct from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady. N. Y -at 60 cents per box, postpaid. Write today for a copy of the free booklet.

"In developing better and happier communities along the lines urged by community service, Portland is serv ing as a model for many of the smaller Pacific coast cities," said John B. Carrigan, press representative of the Pacific coast district for na tional community service, who yes terday arrived in Portland after a survey of the Pacific states. "Portland may attribute her leader ship in this work to the early adop tion of the community service idea. This was the first city on the coast to adopt ths programme of social, rec reational and educational activities suggested by the national organiza- Clolhing in Great Demand Every where Throughout Europe and Wages in America High. Press lip your little old last year's suit, or prepare to ouy another at the market price for- the price of wool garments is not going to slump in many a long month to come. Such is the substance of the opinion by Morris May, vice-president of the Kirschbaum company, New York and Philadelphia, one of the largest cloth ing concerns in the country. Mr. May, who is at the" Hotel Benson during a visit to this city, is particularly qual ified to speak inasmuch as he has charge of the woolen purchasing de partment of his company. "Present prices of clean wool," said Mr. May, "are around $2 a pound. Back in 1914 the price was 55 cents. None of the wool at $2 a pound, that enters into clothing, will go into cloth until next spring. It must pass from the wool growers to the dealer, the spinner and the weaver. We look for delivery late in 1920 or early in 1921. "The price of wool depends upon the mood of England, which controls the wool market through the tre mendous Australian clip. The Eng lish government has the situation well in hand and appears to be desirous of maintaining the present price. "In Investigating the goods mar ket, one of our representatives in England found that field bare of mer chandise. The supply was sold from nine months to a year in advance, to me continental countries, which were not able to get woolen goods during tne war. "Viewing this situation. It is an parent that there will be no decrease in the price of the raw material for some time to come. "Labor conditions are operating to Keep uie price oi woolen clothing up in America. Ninety-eight per cent of the clothing manufactured in America is made under the control of the amal gamated unions. This organization dictates its own terms, and has cre ated a condition that is apt to remain for some time. At present women workers receive a minimum of ISS and upward to $60. The men receive from $40 to $90. "It is obvious that people must ac cept the present condition of the wool en market as stable, and reconcile themselves to prevailing prices." 5800-Slii SOLD The Shirt for the Well-Dressed Man To feel that you look well-dressed, so that you can forget all about your clothes and just enjoy yourself that's worth while, isn't it?
