NAVY RECRUITS
Maryland viii Likely Raise Her
Increased Quota,

Not since the 'bg Spring drive" last
April when 500 Navy recruits enlisted
from Maryland in 20 DAYS have enlist
ments tor that branch of the service
been more plentiful than during the
last three weeks.
Young men from all sections of the
State have applied and the medical
authorities at the Main Recruiting
Station in Baltimore have been especial
ly impressed with the physical quail
tications of the applicants. Very few
have been rejected and nearly all of
those accepted enlisted at once.
Prospects are encouraging for the
Maryland District to raise Its new quota
Of l06 apprentice seameu by February
23rd. The spirit OF patriotism seems
rehino!ed among the goung men all
over the State.
Applicants could, however. expedite
their enlistment if they bear in mind
that they must have proof of the date
Of their birth when they go to the
recruiting station. This can be GER
titled by their parents or guardians
or by records of their baptism.
Date of birth and proof of citizenship
are absolutely necessary before a man
can enlist in the Navy.
Full particulars of Navy enlistments
can be obtained from the postmaster;
directly from the Navy Recruiting
Station, Calvert and Lexington Streets,
Baltimore, or from the Navy Recruit
ing Substations at Cumberland and
Hagerstown.

MAKING OF WHISKEY
 WILL STOP TONIGHT I
Effective Only For Duration of War, But PrOhibitiOnists De- clare Whiskey Making Will Never Be Known Again.
(By United Press.)

Washington, Sept. Whiskey mak ing in the United States ends legally at II o'clock tonight But whiskey drinking does not end. There were 232,404,S70 gallons of it stored in warehouses at the last report, not to mention supplies in saloons, wholesale liquor stores and with licensed liquor dealers. This supply will last several years.
 While the food control law under which John Barleycorn is knocked out is effective only for the duration of the war, prohibitionists declare whiskey making never will be known again in this country. They are con tident that with the experience gained from the present war experiment, na- tion-wide prohibition will soon be adopted by feder&i constitutional omendment.
 John made hard fight in Congress before the knockout was administered lin Section 15 of the food control law Herbert Hoover counted John out in order to save about 40,O00,000 bushels of foodstuffs to fight the war.
 What will happen to whiskey dis tilleries is problematical Some have already announced they will go out of business. Others plan to continue making alcohol for industrial pur- poses. Many may enter other lines even making matted milk.
 The 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 whiskey.
 Hoover's order stops all processes in the production of whiskey at II D. m. "The use of foods, fruits and food materials or feeds may not even be initiated unless the entire process may be fully completed prior to Il D. m.," his order stated
 He did not give John Barleycorn a single moments grace. While 30 days from date of approval of the law August 10-would be tomorrow, Sunday, Hoover fixed the hour of Johns demise at Il p. m. tonight be- cause the internal revenue laws pre- vent the operation of distilleries be tween II Saturday night and the fol- lowing Monday morning.
 Two other dry" provisions in the food bill have not yet been acted upon by Hoover. One gives the President the right to commander any or all distilled spirits if necessary for re- distillation and use in munitions mak- ing or other military purposes. The other empowers the President to limit, regulate or prohibit the use of food- stuffs to make beer,
