Breweries to Open
for Business Again

New York, March 18.-The Lager
Beer Brewers Board of Trade of
New York, representing forty-two
brewing concerns in New York and
New Jesey, announced today that on
advice of counsel its members would
resume at once sale of beer contain
ing "a per cent alcoholic content.
This was forbidden by a ruling of
the internal revenue department,
which, interpreted President Wilson'S
proclamation effective December 1,
last.
Upon a representation by the
board to Elihu Root and William D.
Guthrie, counsel for the organization
that beer of the alcoholic strength
specified was not intoxicating, the at
torneys advised the organization to-
day that sale of the "a per cent
product would not be contrary to
law.

Many $500 Jobs
Soon To Be Open

Washington, D. c., March IT,
The census which will be made III
January, 1920, is now less than ten
months distant The Census Bureau
has under consideration the selec-
ton and appointment of not over 400
supervisors who will have charge of
the 10000 enumerators. The super
visors' districts in most cases, except
in the large cities, will have the same
boundaries as the congressional dis
tricts. The supervisors are to be ap-
pointed by the secretary of commerce
upon the recommendation of the di-
rector of the census.
The following instructions have
been given by the secretary of COM
merce to the director of the census
in regard to the procedure to be fol
lowed in making selections and ap
p-ointments of census supervisors:
"a test examination, of which a
record win be kept, is to be required
for appointment to the post of SUI
pervisor. In addition to this, care
full personal inquiry is to be sepa-
rately made respecting the qualifica-
lions of each candidate. Of this in
quiry, also, record will be kept.
I'm making appointments from
those who shall have passed the test
examination and the separate inquiry
as to qualifications, preference is to
be given to those candidates who
have had executive, administrative,
statistical or accounting experience
and to those who have had charge
Of bodies of men as administrators,
provided in all cases that men with
the experience stated possess the
other qualifications necessary. No
candidates are to be selected for APP
pointment who do not pass both the
test examination and the personal in
quiry.
"In particular, the appearance, as
well as the TACT, OF polltlcal patron
age is to be avoided, and fitness for
the work to be done will be the con-
trolling factor in the appointments"
The supervisors cuties will occupy
their time for the greater part of
year, beginning about July 1, 1919.
Their compensation will be $500,
plus 81 for each thousand or major
fraction of a thousand of population
enumerated. The total compensation
in an average-sized district, outside
large city, will therefore be be-
tween $500 and $500. Clerk hire
and other necessary expenses will be
paid by the government.
All candidates for supervisorships
should address Their applications to
the director of the census, Washing
ton, d. G.

Mrs. W. A. Sunday left the tri-
cities at 1890 this noon for a few
days at her home at Winona Lake,
Ind. Il don't like to leave the COM
munity at the very beginning of the
campaign, but have to this time.
You see our son, Billy Jr is going

Tips from the
Tabernacle

Rev. Billy Sunday this morning
addressed the students at the Pal
mer school of chiropractic, speak
ing at 10:45 for a short time. He
found one OF the most interested
audiences he has so far addressed.
Mrs. William Asher, who has
been in Chicago on a short bust
ness trip. returned today to the
city and will be on hand tonight
to assist in the girls rally at the
tabernacle.
Mr.. Sunday did not go to Mus
catine yesterday, some misunder-
standing having arisen as to the
time for making the trip. A dele
cation of Muscatine people is to
come tomorrow to confer with Mr..
Sunday relative to the time that
he will visit the Pearl city.
Mr.. Sunday has announced that
next Sunday afternoon service will
be given for men only, and a ser
mon directed to men will be deliv-
cred. He hopes in this way to
reach many who may otherwise be
prevented from coming. and he
will have message that is pertin-
ent to the occasion.
Homer Rodeheaver, director of
music at the tabernacle, is consid-
ering the organization of a mems
chorus to furnish the music at the
meetings for men only which may
be held from time to time through
out the series of evangelistic meet
ings, the first of which is next Sun
DAY. Mr.. Rodeheaver will welcome
volunteers for this chorus and is
on the lookout for recruits.
The Palmer school of chiroprac-
tic of Davenport will send a dele
CATION of approximately 1000 stu
dents to the Sunday meeting to-
morrow night. And they will come
prepared to sing, for there has
been going on among them rous-
ing rehearsals of school songs,
which it is said are the real thing
for pep and enthusiasm. Presi-
dents Of the various classes are
prepared to challenge Mr.. Rode
HEAVIER when it comes to chorus
singing and are sure they can put
it over on the already trained
singers.
Sunday talked to the Davenport
Rotarians yesterday noon at the
Hotel Blackhawk The Rotarians
and the Sons of the Revolution, he
said, are the only two organiza-
lions to which he belongs. and OF
these he is very proud to be one.
He then lit into the bad citizens
and gave them a fiaying such as
only Billy Sunday can give with
his torrent of words and unusual
phrases, and how he did lambast
the evil-doer.

MRS. SUNDAY IN
TALK ITO WOMEN
COUNSELSFAITH
Vile Of Evangelist Conducts First
Meeting at Central Church
This Morning.

Opening the work in what Is to
be known as the Long View district
during the Billy Sunday campaign,
Mrs. W. A. Sunday gave her first
talk to women OF the tri-cities this
morning at 10 o'clock in the Cen
trail Presbyterian church. In her
direct, simple way she brought
home to the women the necessity
for prayer and for the prayer meet
ings in connection with the evan
gelist's work here.
Taking passages of scripture
which dealt with prayer, Mrs. Sun
day based her talk on the encour-
agement which comes from consist
ant prayer. She first called on the
women gathered to relate anything
encouraging which had happened
in connection with the preparation
for the campaign or since its open
ing.
There is no use doing things -
said Mrs. Sunday, unless they
bring results. And this is true with
praying as with anything. You are
wasting time if the conditions of
your lSd4I anu L4AS 81 IudL
God cannot act If we pray we
want an answer. When Daniel
prayed his answer came after %
days. There are circumstances in
our lives which withhold our an
swers. Sometimes 1 think the an
swers are withheld as test of our
faith
Three conditions have been set
to acceptable prayer. First, we
must have an undivided heart. And
whatever we do let us do it with
all our hearts. Let's ask God
whom we are responsible for. Peo-
pie ask me, and they do the same
thing with Mr.. Sunday, when they
have gotten their own hearts right,
what they can do to help their hus-
band, or brother, or some relative
or friend to have the same bless
ings they are enjoying. They i'm
mediately want others to enjoy
their great blessing.
Mrs Sunday continued: I'VE
must have a clean heart. If I keep
sin in my heart deliberately He will
not hear me. If it is an unknown
sin it is different of course. The
Lord insists on having a clean yes.
sci, but it need not be gold nor
silver. The Lord will not use peo-
pie as powers if their hearts are
not right. Many have an unforgiv-
ing spirit. Stephens example,
when he was dying after having
been stoned, is wonderful. think.
His last words were: Lay not this
sin to their charge They were not
for himself, for he knew that his
heart was right.
peoples relations are the hard
est to reach. When we were in Chi
cago ! felt it my duty to try to win
the hearts of some of my relatives,
who live there, for Christ. really
felt it a duty. But l decided that if
1 did not speak to them, who else
would take enough interest to do
it. So l invited them all to come
to the tabernacle. and I was re-
warded. for many OF my cousins
and second cousins and distant rel
atives of my parents came and were
converted. I'm telling you these
things because I've gone through
the experience of dealing with
ones relatives in matters pertain
ing to their salvation. Our heart
must be a forgiving one also.
Our hearts must be obedient.
Our campaign has a two-fold pur-
pose. 1t is to revive the church, as
well as to get new converts. Be
obedient to seek Christ"
Prayer meetings are to be held
in the Long View districts, which
