Photogra Doty Still Gets the Hon
ors I'm Photographic World
Photographer Doty still keeps up his
remarkable record Of carrying off the
highest honors at all the exhibitions.
Someone remarked recently that it was
getting to be just like slot machine
"He has only to drop picture into an
exhibition, and out comes a medal" His
latest achievements are gold medal from
the Virginia-Carolina photographer as
sociation last week. and loving cup from
the Northwestern association the week
before. Both represent the highest hon.
ors in open-to- -ths-world class. Coming
from such widely separated parts OF the
country as these last awards do, 10 good
evidence that his work appeals TO oil
classes OF critics.
He now has an even dozen OF Grand
Prizes, all won in open-to-ths- world COM
petition in the last IL months. No sp-
proach to such record - this he's ever
been made in the history OF photography
before, and the members Of his profession,
the world around, are sitting up to take
notice.
Mr. Doty recently sold single one OF
his prize winning pictures for 5000, for
advertising purposes, SO it is evident that
they are not altogether empty honors"

FULTON BILL KNOCKED OUT.
Revenue Cutter VIII Not Be Placed
in Commission at Portland.

Advices from Washington, D. c.,
state that Senator Fulton's amend
ment to the sundry service bill, in
which the Oregon senator asks for
S250,OO0 for the maintenance of a
revenue cutter on the oregon coast,
has been knocked out. The commit
tee alleges the appropriation was nev-
er asked for or recommended by the
department.
The object of Senator Fulton's
amendment was to have a suitable
vessel on hand to go out to ships in
distress and to take such action as
was necessary when trouble was re-
ported to the land forces by lookouts.
At the same time, the conference
committee cut the Seattle appropria-
ton down by some $4,000. 1t also
sliced the Alaskan and Oriental ex-
hibits.

"Near-Beer" Plentiful.
In Georgia, the last state to come
under the prohibition regime, the in
ternal revenue officials have sold
many more retail liquor licenses than
were disposed of during the same
period last year, before prohibition
became effective, and from present
appearances 1t is likely that fully four
times as many licenses VIII be dispos-
ed of this year. The answer to this
is "near-beer."
"Near-beer" is an imitation Of the
foaming lager, containing less than
per cent alcohol, and its manufac-
ture has already become a profitable
industry for the brewerles which can
no longer manufacture the real ar
ticle. 1t is real Temperance bev-
erage," inasmuch as no person of Or
dinary capacity can hold enough OF
IT to become "soused," but It has al
ready become highly poular in
Georgia. Under the United States
revenue regulations, the dispensers
of this beverage are required to take
out retail liquor licenses, and this
will add to the income of Uncle Sam.
In addition to the "near-saloons,"
which have been established to dis
pense the "near-beer," nearly all soda
fountains and drug stores and many
country merchants have taken out
licenses to handle the beverage. Re-
ports show that the Georgia brewer
les are turning out more OF the "near-
beer" this year than they did of real
beer, and the profit, both to the
brewer and the retailer, is larger than
is the case of the real article.
While some of the Anti-Saloon
league workers are anxious to sup
press the manufacture Of NEAR
beer" there are others who believe
that 1t supplies a satisfactory solu-
ton of the liquor question, providing
beverage that satisfied the appetite
of the confirmed beer drinker with
out producing intoxication.
II the Georgia "near-beer" indus
try proves financially successful, the
brewers themselves may soon take
part in the prohibition crusade and
thus reRove as competitors the dis
tillers and manufacturers of stronger
beverages.

plants in Michigan. giving employ
ment TO several thousand men. Dur
ing the month OF June. 1.0l6 No. 10
runabouts were turned out, besides
the regular trade IN the other pat
terms. Only last week, the Buick peo-
pie combined with the Maxwell Auto
Co., thus bringing together two plants
that bid fair to give strict competition

ally understood that one OF the main
reasons for the combination was
question OF savings in the sales de-
partment. as the agents under the new
plant can handle both machines at
much reduced price.
