The debate was limited, and the House re-passed the bill with a a wide margin over nearly two- thirds, ns the Senate had done. The supporters of the bill say it will make effective the prohibition laws of the dry states, which are now being violated, because intoxi cants are shipped to private indi viduals, and they say further that the bill will have the effect of nulli fying local laws. The Senate re-passed the bill late yesterday. The^bill will now become a law. Only one other time in the last fifteen years has Congress over-rid den a President’s veto. That was when the Rainoy-Riverday bill was passed over President Roosevelt’s disapproval. WOMEN INSPECT TWO SITES Parent-Teachers Association Go Young's College and Mallette Heights.
