One day last spring, when there

a month or so before. They scooted

n federal government has itself been
operating a distillery. The distilla-
ton plant was not conceived with q
view of evading the internal evenue
laws, yet there a no special tax is
sued for it's operation. The output
has not been of the regulation moon
shine" character, and there was no eff
fort at concealment, though the ap-
proach to the plant located in the real
OF 1858 B Street Southwest would in
dictate such. The undertaking has not
been one for profit, but for scientific
research. DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief
OF the bureau Of chemistry, depart
ment of agriculture, has been the
chief distiller, and he is going to pub
lish to the world the results of his ex-
perience; a demonstration of the
methods of making, the sources, and
the uses of denatured alcohol.

Automobiles In Nova Scotia.

People who have been making auto
mobile tours in Nova Scotia have run
up against some strange regulations
Of the provincial character which have
tended to considerably abridge their
convenience and comfort.
They did not find an absolute pro-
hibition against cars. as In Nantucket,
but the regulations they did find were
even more annoying than that at Nam
tucket, because of the latter they are
specifically informed and so would not
undertake a tour there.
1t appears that the Nova Scotia reg
ulation forbids cars from using the
highways in certain sections on the
market day in each week, when the
country folk flock into the town to do
their trading.
They discovered, too late for their
convenience. that the market days do
not occur on the same day of the week
in every town, so that while they
steered clear of that in one town they
brought up with a bang against the
bars in another town on the line OF
the routes they had planned.

denaturing of alcohol and denaturants,
and the use of denatured alcohol for
manufacture and medicines-was dis
cussed by officials of the bureau of
chemistry. The object in view, d.
rectly, has been to determine by prac-
teal demonstration the value of the
various farm products as alcohol pro-
ducers-to determine the feasibility of
the farmers utilizing by-products and
unmarketable fruits and vegetables in
the production of denatured alcohol.
All material used at the distillery was
bought in the open. market by DR..
Wiley personally in order that he
might observe its condition and there
fore be the better informed in sum-
ming up the results. He also person
ally superintendent the operation of
the plant. At the present time he
and his assistants are engaged in sum-
ming up the results Of the experiment
tation. The exact proportion of alco.
hol produced by various vegetables
will be discussed at length in a re.
port; as also will be the primary or
necessary cost of production. While
it is impossible to learn at this time
the conclusions of the officials, it may
be said in a general way that the al.
<cohol can be distilled from refuse and
unmarketable vegetables. and farm
products at a cost of from Is to 80
cents a gallon.
A feature of the report of DR.. Wiley
will be a discussion Of the practicable
ty of individual farmers distilline
their own products at a profit; like
wise the feasibility of cooperative
distillation plants in thickly settled
communities .

FRIENDS TO HOLD
YEARLY MEETING

Wilmington Orthodox Friends will be
represented at the Philadelphia yearly
meeting in Philadelphia commencing on
next Monday. It will probably be the most
important and interesting annual meeting
Of that religious body held in many years.
Wide interest is being taken by Friends
in a proposition that will come before the
meeting to make a change in the rule Of
discipline regarding marriaoe.
Heretofore It has not been possible for
a Friend to marry one not a member OF
the society without provoking the official
displeasure OF the meeting, and I'm many
cases in the past Friends who married
out Of meeting were promptly disowned.
Effort will be made to have the Disci-
pline so altered at to allow the marriage
of Friends with non-members under cer-
tain conditions. BY this means II is hoped
not only TO retain in membership all
Friends so marrying, but in many cases
to bring the nonmember into the society.
