WASHIXGTOX. March 10. A
new fight Involving enforcement
of prohibition opened today in the
senate during consid?ration of a
bill to authorize 19 additional
federal district judges.
Democratic senators opened
fire on the bill immediately, some
opposing more judges, others cri
ticising the assignments proposed
for the extra judges and others
opposing a provision, which, it is
said, might place "dry" Judges in
wet" states, or vice versa.
Broussard Leads Fight
Th prohibition enforcement
question was brought up by Sen
ator Broussard, Democrat, Louis
iana, one of the leading oppon
ents of the Volstead law. He said
the bill's provision authorizing
the chef justce of the supreme
court to assign district judges to
work in other than their own
states might result in trials by
judges who were "not in accord
with the ideas of the commun
ity."
Senator Caraway. Democrat,
Arkansas, said he had been ap
proached by a man urging ,sup'
port of the bill and told that "the
only excuse" for the assignment
provision was to meet a situation
caused by refusal of certain Judg
es to enforce the law.
Sectional View Deplored
Senator Cummins. Republican,
Iowa, in charge of the measure,
said that never during its consid
eration by the committee had he
heard any suggestion that some
organization was behind the bill
for the purpose cited by Senator
Caraway, adding that he deplored
"any narrow or sectional Tiew'
in dealing with the bill, and lack
of confidence in the chief justice
Fie could not assume the assign
ment of power would be abased
Cummins Sees Need
"If I believed that. I would
want to abolish all courts," said
Senator Cummins.
The extra judges proposed, Sen
a tor Cummins said, were needed
urgently to correct present
"shameful" administration of
justice and the congested condi
tion of federal court dockets.
The bill went ovpr for further
consideration.

"Probably the sends him to bed

in the same spirit. "From his

"This morning." I replied.
"Then you ought to have some

"Nothing but a cup of tea and

steadily, looking after the con

for the two great dehydration
plants at Salem and The Dalles.
GreaXest Foes
Every household should have
its lifeguards. The need of them
is especially great when diseases,
the greatest foes of life, find
allies in the very elements, as
colds, influenza, catarrh, the grip
and pneumonia do in this stormy
month.
The best way to guard against
these diseases is to strengthen
the system with Hood's Sarsa
parilla one of the greatest of all
life-guards. It removes the condi
tions in which these diseases
make their most successful attack
gives vigor and tone to the vital
organs and functions, and im
parts a genial warmth to the
blood.
Remember the weaker the sps
tem the greater the exposure to
disease. Hood's Sarsaparilla
makes the system strong.
If the liver is torpid or the
bowels are sluggish, causing bil
iousness or constipation, Hood's
Pills will be found of great ser
vice. They are especially made to
be taken with Hood's Sarsapa
rilla. Adv.

CHAPTER 316
THK MEETING THAT CHANCE
BROUGHT ABOUT
As if to convince me of the sin
cerity of his protest that he would
not "bother me with the old fol
ly." and help me to "forget every
thing else save that we1 were tw
very good friends off for a holi
day." Dr. Pettit sent his car along
the turnpike at a speed that whip
ped my cheeks refreshingly with
the stimulating autumn air and
forebore to utter anything save
platitudes concerning the weath
er and the scenery until he reach
ed Ticer's.
"You are acquainted with our
Amazonian friend, Mrs. Ticer?"
he asked, smiling whimsically, as
we turned in at the. sagging wire
gate leading to th ramfback'e
dwelling. I
"Yes. also with her redoubtable !
husband." I laughed, looking
In Another Car.
"In the next room," Mrs. Ticer
replied meekly evidently she
stood in much awe of the "doc"
and she started to lad the way-to
her afflicted son, but Dr. Pettit
put out an authoritative hand.
"I can find Jerry by myself.
he said. "Give Mrs. Graham your
whole time." He disappeared in
the other room as he spoke and
closed the door behind him. Mrs.
Ticer drew a long, troubled
breath, as she looked at me.
"The doc certainly has a way
with him," she said, bustling
around and drawing up a chair
for me. "Now, I'll put the tea
to draw, and then you can talk
to me,"
The Innate delicacy of the
rough, untutored woman forbade
any inquiry as to my business
with her, although I knew she
must be consumed with curiosity
as to the reason for my sudden
visit. Therefore as soon as she
had come back into tho room 1
struck directly into the subject
that had brought me so far.
"There are reasons why friends
of mine wish to know certain
things about that man Jake Wll
sey," I said, "so I have come to
ask you to answer certain ques
tions if you will."
"Sure, anything I can," she said
heartily, and the next half-hour
was taken up with my writing
down the answers to the questions
I h.-d memorized for Lillian. 1
mpant to memorize the answers
also, but interrupted by Mrs. Ti
cer's hospitable tea and cakes as
I constantly was, it seemed to me
safer to jot them down first.
I had just finished when Dr.
Pettit came out from the other
room and hurried. me away rath
er unceremoniously with the an
nouncement that he wished to get
to the Southampton hospital with
in the next hour. I am always
flurried when I am hurried, and
the annoying result was that we
had gone, perhaps half a mile
when I made the discovery that I
had left my purse at the Ticer's.
Dr. Pettit made no comment, but
turned his car quickly around and
we sped back in record time.
As we turned into the yard we
almost collided with another rjun
about, also headed toward the
house, and with a quick thrill of
dismay I recognized Harry Under
wood in the driver's seat of the
other car.
