McLemoro bases his contention on the fact that the amendment ouly pass ed the house by a two thirds vote of those present. The constitution provides that amendments must hare "a two thirds vote of both houses." McLemore interprets this to mean two thirds of all members. The house vote was 2S2 to 123, lack ing eight votes of being two thirds of the house membership of 425. The amendment passed the senate by two thirds of all members. The constitution specifically provides in other instances, such as impeachment,! j IMPERIAL 11 nn rnr lUlLi L A splendid economical material for making Dresses, Waists, Gowns, etc., 36 inches wide.

Groups 3 and 4 will probably be put on a 50 per cent coal ration.' Embar goes by the railroad administration will be used as a means of enforcing prior ities established. Members of the priority board will in-' elude representatives of the war and . . . . .- - cmae representatives of the war and!
