MAKING WHISKY
STOPS TONIGHT
After II O'Clock No Liquor for
Beverage Purposes Will Be
Distilled Until Close
of War.

Washington, ID. c.. Sept. s.-whisky
making in the United States ends
legally at IL O'Clock tonight. But
whisky drinking does not end. There
were 2S2, 4O4, $40 gallons of it stored in
warehouses at the last report, not to
mention supplies in saloons, whole
sale liquor stores and with licensed
liquor dealers. This supply will last
several years.
While the food control law under
which John BarleycoEn> is knocked out,
is effective only for the duration of
the war, prohibitionists declare whisky
making v will be known again in
this country. They are confident that
with the experience gained from the
present war experiment, nation wide
prohibition will soon be adopted by fed
eral constitutional amendment.
John made a hard fight in congress
before the knockout was administered
in section Is of the food control law.
Herbert Hoover counted John out in
order to save about 40, 00O, 900 bushels Of
foodstuffs to fight the war.
What will happen to whisky distil-
leries is problematical. Some have al
ready announced they will go out Of
business. Others plan to continue maxi
ing alcohol for industrial purposes.
Many may enter other lines-even maxi
ing matted milk.
Can't Be Made to Drink.
h law prohibits the making of dis
titled spirits for beverage purposes.
Straight alcohol and denatured alcohol
may continue to be manufactured.
There are about 700 plants equipped for
making alcohol in this country. Only
about 600. however, actually have been
making whisky.
He did not give John Barleycorn a
single moments grace. While 80 days
from date of approval of the law Au-
gust 1O-would be tomorrow, Sunday,
Hoover fixed the hour of Johns demise
at II p. m. tonight because the internal
revenue laws prevent the operation Of
distilleries between II Saturday night
and the following Monday morning.
Two other dry" provisions in the
food bill nave o yet been acted upon
right to commander any or all dis
titled spirits if necessary for redistilla-
ton n use in munitions making Or
other military purposes. The other em-
powers the president to limit. regulate
or prohibit the use of foodstuffs to
make beer.
To Seize Imports.
Customs officials throughout the
country after tonight will seize all i'm
p%ortations of s%pirituous liquors reach
ing the United States. Officers of the
internal revenue bureau throughout the
country will see that distilleries make
no more whisky.
Distillers may continue manufacture
ing alcohol for commercial purposes
and many of them have arranged for
this work, others turning their distil-
leries into manufacturing plants for
yeast, vinegar II hynroducts.
