House approves 12.8 million for prohibition enforcement
Washington Feb 15 The House kept intact the 12 799 000 appropriation for enforcement activities in the next fiscal year and retained 28 040 000 for the coast guard as part of the anti rum-running campaign.

A Florida joke spurred laughs as Rep Green called Florida dry as the Sahara.
