Ily Hulph F. Couch. (United Pro Huff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 17. Federal Prohibition Commissioner Kramer today appealed to American women to help enforce the Volstead act. "The women of the United States can bring strong public sentiment behind tho law for its strict enforce ment," he said. "They are moral lenders of any community In a gen eral way.

His office is now working for conviction of some feminine whis key runners, said to have operated with a boldness and deftness sur passing the efforts of their male as sociates. "Undoubtedly there are many women who Indulge in intoxicants in a spirit of bravado," the commission er said. "The same spirit actuates men who are trying to evade, the law by drinking all sorts of intoxicating beverages. It is up to the mothers and fathers of young girls to see that they obey the laws of the United States. The mothers especially should be able to help." GARAGE MEN FIGHT GRAVITY GAS TEST Telegrams Sent From Ik-nil Urging Repeal of Law Which Is Warned For Motor Fuel Shortngc of 1020.

SA I. KM, Feb. 17. Tho soldier bonus anil loan law passed the senate Into yesterday. Tho house had prev iously adopted it und the final ac ceptance Is novr up to a vote of the people. SALEM, Feb. 17. House bill 108 was passed in the house by a vote of 34 to 26, after a debate which occu pied two hours. This bill is to bar aliens from Asia from ownership of property in Ore gon. The .bill is patterned after the California alien act which waa re cently enacted In that state, and ! aimed to prevent the encroachmonts of Japanese companies, associations and corporations in colonizing Ore gon by acquiring and leasing land. Leonard of Multnomah, one of the authors of the bill, opened the de bate with a vigorous and scathing criticism of Japanese methods and motives. He pictured the Japanese as "the Prussians of the Orient" and declared their purpose was the event ual conquest of the Pacific coast through peaceful penetration. He told of the hordes of Japanese In California and their methods there, also in the Hawaiian Islands. He de clared the question one of patriotism . and charged the Portland Chamber of Commerce with opposing the meas ure from a commercialistic stand point. Seek to Dodge Issue. Kay of Marion said that the state should keep out of the question, aa President-elect Harding was pledged to act, and that passage of the bill would be a slap against Senators Mc Nary and Lodge. He read a telegram from Secretary Dodson of the Port land Chamber of Commerce in which he protested that the act would em barass the government, and that the passage of the measure would make trouble. Gordon of Multnomah declared that the matter should be left to Washington. Carter of Jackson said that the only mistake California had made was in not acting in the matter soon er. He said the Japanese are a men ace to the country and that Oregon should stand by California in the ef fort to preserve the state. He said further that it was the action of Call- ' fornia that finally stirred the nation al government to take action. Davey of Marion said he knew that the Japanese depreciated land values, could not be assimilated, and that Americans could not compete with them, but that the state should not involve the nation in trouble, and that It was a national and not a state problem. Burdlck opposed the bill because he believed in the sanctity of treaties and held the new administra tion pledged to action. Movie Kill Slaughtered.
