WASHINGTON, D. C., April 1S.- National prohibition will doubtless re- duce the amount of liquor consumed, once it has been decided who is to en- force the measure, but there are some signs that it will not reduce the variety
 of beverages used, for while at least
 Soft drinks, of course, are in for a
 phenomenal boom. Then there is the
 rise into pernicious prominence as bev- erages of such things as toilet prepara-
 tions and furniture polishes containing

 ises to furnish the federal prohibition agency whatever it may be, with the most difficult and embarrassing prob lem of all.
 Making liquor at home is not a nov city frecent origin in this country. but city of recent origin in this country, but i days, not only did the settler distill his own corn whiskey, but his wife made wines and cordials out of grapes. ! blackberries and various other fruits. With the coming of "store liquor" the distilling of whiskey became restricted to the moonshine stills of the remote mountain districts, and the making of wines and cordials in the homes also became less common. But, although the
 fact is not widely known, wines are still
 made by housewives quite generally. in the Allegheny regions, by recipes that are many generations old. The product is bright red wine, very sweet and palatable, and not very strong. but con- taining alcohol enough to make it illicit.

 IN MESA CITY NEXT

MESA, April 21.-"Beville brings home the bacon''-which in this in- stance means that he secured for Mesa what he went after, the Arizona New Mexico Interstate convention of the Woodmen of the World, which will meet in March or April of 1921. Next time they will meet in Mesa, thanks to the energy of Beville, ably seconded by A. A. Betts and Mir. Leyhe, of the Phoenix delegation.
 Securing this convention was a nice piece of smooth work and credit is due the gentleman named for their earnest efforts. Some time ago the attention Of the Mesa Commercial club was called to the fact that the convention which has pust closed at Deming, N. M. would decide where the next should meet. The club agreed that if the local Woodmen would aid in the matter, an effort would be made to land the con vention for Mesa. In pursuance of this the lodge selected a delegate. who at the last moment found it impossible to go. The lodge and the Commercial

by some reckless or ignorant people, with the result that some become blinded through atrophy of the optic nerve, and others are killed outright. Women alcoholics are more likely to use perfumes than are men, and are heavy consumers of medicines contain ing a high percentage of alcohol. Often the medicines are taken in large quan- titles by persons who have no idea of the amount of alcohol consumed, and occasionally they are not aware that they are taking alcohol at all.
 These commercial preparations are all supposed to be so medicated as to be undrinkable. Certainly only a per verted palate would find furniture poll ish acceptable. In Russia, where vodka was banished iIst before the war started, furnitu polish and many things not alter pted by alcoholics ill this country are drunk with disastrous results. Benzin', naptha, and kero- sene are Russian drinks reported to be consumed in such quantities as to ere ate a shortage of these commodities All of the n-beverage spirits are highly injurious as many of them con- tain methyl, or denatured, alcohol, and all have in them other ingredients, some of which are dangerous to the system.
 The internal revenue agents also have an eye on the private still or brewery, and are now running down il- lieit manufacture in dry territory. Three weeks of a campaign in one town netted twenty -four home distil- lers and still the searcn goes on. Just what are the signs by which the rev enue detective spots city moonshiner the internal revenue bureau cannot, of course, divulge. But agents are given special training for their sleuthing du- ties. in connection with enforcement of prohibition.
 All sorts of formulas for home made drinks are scattered abroad. Old cook books are ransacked for ancient recipes and rare formulas are passed from one person to another with elaborate sec recy and careful handling.
 Of all the protests against prohibi- ton by far the greatest number have been relative to beer America seems willing to give up whiskey as Russia willing gave up vodka, and France ab- sinthe. But many citizens demand some substitute stronger than soda water
  for New York brewers announce their intention of manufacturing beer tc contain three and one-tnird per cent oj alcohol by volume (two and three quarters per cent by weight), on the grounds that this brew would not be | intoxicating.
 No one has ever demonstrated accur- ately the exact amount of alcoho which a liquid can contain and still b, unintoxicating. One-haf of one De- l cent is the maximum fixed by mos | prohibition legislators, as this is re. l garded as safely unintoxicating, anC 1 because this much alcohol is absolutel, necessary in some drinks to preserv, them. Soft drinks served at the sods fountain,f for instance, contain a yer, slight percentage of alcohol in he basil l fruit juices. | Because the national prohibition lav does not fix the amount of alcohol , drink may contain, the brewers hay, set their own proportion. Whether the, can make the government agree witt ! them, remains to be seen.

ARIZONA WOMEN TO
 DO THEIR BIT FUR
 THE VICTORY LOAN

Women of Arizona do not need spurring up to do their full duty in any national or patriotic matter" said Miss Alice M. BirdsalI, chairman of the Woman's Division of the Victory Liberty loan for Arizona, but if they did d telegram received today from Mrs, W. c. McAdoo. national chairman, would furnish the ircentive. The tele- gram read: The women of the United States felt, year ago, that no money price was too high for the winning of 9 victorious peace.
 ''The government of the United States is now asking us to help raise the four and half billion dollars sub scription that totals the Victory Lib erty loan
 Can we do less than our best to pay the price of peace?"
 Miss Birdsall, who has been state chairman for previous loans, realizing the need of giving the government ev- cry possible assistance, has again ac- cepted the chairmanship and now has her organization complete with chair man in every county who knows just what is expected of her and is eager to help Arizona go over the top quickly.

NeW Drinks For Old

live in town. There are some good sized American cities where house. wives regularly make their own beer, and it is not near beer, either.
 Closely allied with the soft drinks which have recently multiplied so greatly are the imitation hard drinks. These are announced with swagger de- scriptons and names suggestive of the mixtures they aspire to resemble. They are, in fact, the same drinks lacking only the one ingredient hitherto re- garded as essential.
 Detroit has evolved a nearer ap- proach to the old-fashioned cocktail. but even this IS only vaguely suggestive Of the real article. Detroit's new drink is a grape juice unfortified, served in cocktail glass. With it is offered a small yeast tablet which, when intro duced to the grape juice, produces a 1lzzy something that Detroit is pleased to call the Cocktail a la Mode.
 Mixtures less drinkaDie to most peo- Die than these prohibition proof cock tails, but nevertheless more popular. are non-beverage forms of alcohol. In- ternal revenue agents have for years combated the use of patent medicines and toilet preparations as drinks. and now extra effort is being made to pre- vent the sale of these articles for bev- craze purposes. Some of the commer- cial preparations drunk by alcoholics contain as much as seventy-five per cent of alcohol. Considering that whis- key and vodka contain from forty to sixty per cent, and that absinthe con tains about seventy per cent and is &C., counted rank poison. the danger of drinking this kind of alcohol is ap- parent.
 There are hundreds of these medical and commercial preparations contain ing alcohol. Wood alcohol even is drunk
