Divine was hurried out and put
through the third degree. He was
beat, kicked and insulted, but could
give the detectives no satisfaction. Ex-
tradition papers were signed, allowing
the police to send Divine to Boston for
trial. The innocent mans attorney
Immediately asked for a writ of ha-
beas corpus and hearing was order

Divine was asked to write his name
so that it could be compared with
Parker's on the check. The signatures

Finally Divine was able to prove an

1T has now been learned that the

explains their hasty retaliation by

DETROIT Nov. 25.-Despite the fact that Michigan has voted dry" the States GO brewerles, in which approximately $SO.OOO,OOO is invested, need not be abandoned. according to Henry Ford.
 Economically 1t would be a waste to have them become idle" said Mr. Ford in statement issued today. There is no reason why they should Every standard brewing plant can be transformed at an ex. pense that is in no sense prohlbitiye, from a brewery into a distillery for manufacturing denatured alcohol for use in automobiles or other internal combustion engines
 And with the worlds supply of petroleum, and. therefore, of gaso- line, fast playing out and the day Of the alcohol fuel for automobiles and tractors just dawning. the pres ant brewery properties are assured future much more useful to the community and quite as profitable to themselves as been their past.
 By practical experimentation car ried on during the last IS months in the Henry Ford & Son laboratories, it has proved two things:
 "Frst-That denatured alcohol can be used successfully as a fuel for the gas engine in automobiles and tractors
 "Second-That denatured alcohol can be manufactured and marketed at a price that will permit it's gen. eral use as a gas-engine fuel"
 After e long study of breweries and their methods, Mr. Ford and his engineers have come to the conclus- ion that all the standard brewing plan needs to be transformed from brewery into a distillery is the addition of a continuous still. And, with raw materials on every hand, the same amount of labor. no tax and an unlimited market. the dena- tured alcohol business will be fully as profitable for the brewery as the manufacture of beer, Mir.
