Philadlel phiam, May 26.-'Another amendment to the federal constitution providing a single standlardl of morals for men and women and infieting severe penaltie4s for immorality was predicted by WVillianm Jennings Bryan in an address before the general as sembly of the Presbyterian Church in the Unitedl States here today. 'ile then commended the assem'bly for having gone on record for a single code of morals. A plan of union for 18 Protestant churches in the United .States was ap proved todlay by the general assembly. This is the biggest step taken 80 far by the body at the present sessions in brlnging about a union of Protestant denominations. Two (lays ago a union of Presbyterian and reformedl church es, both of which hold the Calvinistile faith and conform to tme Presbyterian system, was ap~proved'. This was fol lowedl by similar action by the Prae byterlan church in the South. The assembly .was almost unanimous In adopting the majority report of its committee which favored the plan of church union. The same action mumst now ho taken by other denominations included in the plan and then finally by representatives of the combined body. The churches included in the merger plan a the Armenian Evan gelical' church, IBaptist churches, Christian church, Christian Union of the United States, Congregational, Church of the Diseiples, Evangelical Synod of North America, Society of Friends, Five Years' Meeting of the Friends in America, Primitive Metho dist, Methodist Episcopal, Moravian Presbyterian, Protestapt Episcopal, Reformed Episcopal, Reformed Church in the United States, United Presby terian and the Welsh Presbyterian. The report of the commission whicir has been studying the question of ad mission of women to ordination as ruling elders recommend.ing that the matter be referred to a referendum vote of the entire denomination in the United States was adopted after a brief discussion. The new report of the executive conmission on the Interehurch World Movement will be made tomorrow Yesterday the commission recom mended that the Presbyterian church sever its support of the movement, but the assembly voted to have the commission reconsider its action and make a new report, it is indicated that the new report will embrace some plan of continuing the support of the church. Four cities are turder consideration for next year's general assembly. They are Atlantic City, Seattle, Winona Lake, Ind., and Springfield, Mass. TENNE4SSEE JL'DGE WARNS VIOLATORtS Change of Conditions Told In Charge to ,1ury it Chatianooga. Washington, May 27.-At ast the strong arm of Uncle Sam has been ex tended in a manner that is well nigh dosigned to gather in the city "boot.. legger" who peddles his poison dope at a fabulous price, and the mountain "mnoonshiner," Who conducts his oper ations largely with the use of his ever liandy "long Ton." Since the prohibition law went into effect-and, in fact, long before that time, the government was perplexed as to what course to follow when these makers of the booze Were brought before the courts for sentence. The r.'atter has caused no small amount of trouble of one kind and an other, largely for the reason, so far as the moonshiner is concerned, that he is recognized ini many respects as a good man but he just can't stop making his corn juice. , 'lowever, there Is a revolution con ing as will be seen by the following excerpt from a charge made a day or two ago to a grand jury at Chat tanooga by District Judge Sanford: "In fortner days we had in the moun tains of this section a typical moon shiner who was honest and fearles:i. They were 'of the best stock in the country-a great race of unfortunate circumstances. They had no schools, no education, and in some cases were not well fed or clothed. They were an object of sympathy and pity when they appeared in court. They were honest in their contention that they believ'ed it right to make whiskey from the corn they grew in their fields. "But of recent years the type of moonshiner and bootlegger lhas changed and the enormous profits to be realized from the manufacture and sale of illicit liquors have swept ed ucated, resp~ectable, wellI-to-do farm ers, merchants and profesisonal men into t'he business. The passage of the national prohibition lawv has changed the statps of the question. It is no longer a question of revenue but of the enforcement of laws that have becen adlopted as the permanent poliey of the United States. "It is not a wvise or cunning thing to (1o to violate the law. It is the height of folly. The United States gov ernment never lets up or spares ex pense to run down violators. 'This wvhiskey questlion is the most .perplex ing and trou'blesome question I have faced in all my service on the bench. it was once my custom to give long jail sentences, but it soon became ap parent that a long term in the averagA county jail would either kill or ru(3in a man instead of curing h'im. I then adopted the short jail sentence and the lawbreakers took advantage of my ieniency. D~urinig t'he war, when I considered the making of whiskey an act of treachery to pur country. I 'be gan the imifosition of penitentary' terms. It is now my intention, :n cases where there are no mitigating circumstances, to impose penitentiary sentences together with heavy flnez. if moonm'hiners and bootleggers make big profits in making and selling Whiskey 'v must not lbe allowed to keep) it.'' "Stop making tmoonshine-the bust head, white lightning and other kinds," the jtudge said, "or go to the lpen." No Worms In a Healthy Child All children trombied with worms have an en. healthy color, which indieates poor blood, and as a rule,there is more or less stomach disturbance. ORIOVE'S TASTELESS chili TONIC given regularly for two or three weeks will earioh the blood, im prove the digestion, and act as a General Strength ening Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then throw off or dispe~l the worms, and the Child will be in perfect I uth.

Ho denied that his company was making exorbitant profits but said its profits in 1919 were $13,288,481 compared with $4,876,923 in 19-14. Mr. McAdoo said that because of "a marked decline" in the demand of shoe manufacturers for leather, his company had reduced production from 10 to 22 per cent. during the past three weeks, but added that no further reductions were anticipated in transportation and financial be came more nearly normal.
