If a certain elderly sea faring man,
made famous by Mr.. Coleridge, lived
in Washington today, he would have
occasion to exclaim, "Liqour. liquor
everywhere, and not dfop to drink"
Yes, sir, there are quarts upon quarts
of liquor stored in far away
corner of well-known building
within a siphon's reach Of the Execu-
tive Mansion.
Beer ranging In power from the
legal half Of 1 per cent to ye old
fashioned ale, that packs a dynamite
blow of 10 or more per cent, lies be-
hind those walls hidden from the
view of the unsuspecting millions who
still mourn the death Of the beloved
John.
And whiskey. all the favorite
brands-and a few new ones. includ-
ing the Districts own concoction,
Jump steady" Added to these is
the gin wherewith to make the fes-
tive board more festive, not to men
ton the cocktail that both cheercd
an inebriated.
Wines of Rare Tuste.
Within this morgue of alcoholic
beverages there is enough to make
the most blase ''maitre de hotel' jump
with joy. Wines of rare yintayns.
and brands that graced some of the
best and most expensive hotels in the
country rest here under lock and key.
Besides the more familiar sources
OF joy, there are various liquids, con-
tanning large alcoholic contents. such
as lemon extract Jamaica ginger,
liver and stomach medicines. odorif-
erous lotions that bring to mind the
beauty of Persia, hair tonic, and hard
cider.
And yet. with all of this stored
away in one large room, il Is abso-
lutely unapproachable as a beverage,
for it is the property of the United
States Government. and the commits
sioner of intcrnGl revenue IS Gus
tOdiau.
Taking Analysis.
ON the fourth door rf tho Treasury
building, in the laboratory of the
division of technology of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue, analyses of 100
different varieties of liquids are made
daily to determine their alcoholic con-
tent.
No liquid that contains alcohol is

Requa, Standard Oil official who has
been directing the oil division acti-

The only preventive, Requa believes,
is an engine that will burn crude oil.
The American society Of automotive
engineers is considering this problem,
put up to 1t by Requa ard his associ-
ates. J. z. Pogue. who has been de-
voting his attention, for the govern
ment, to oil conservation, Is scheduled
to tell the engineers that but so per
cent OF the petroleum produced in
this country is being utilized, that
Kerosene burning engines. while a
great help in conservation, will not
solve the difficulty, and that much
higher prices for gasolene are ahead
unless the crude oil burning engine
comes to the rescue.

WORLDS GREATEST AVIATION
CONTEST

Major Carl Spatz and Lieutenant E. e.
Kiel were the first to complete the trip
across country in the trans-continental aer-
ial race which has been the cynosure of all
eyes during the past week.
These men, flying from San Francisco to
Mineola, New York, arrived at the terrnin-
us control within twenty seconds of each
other. Major Spatz is reported unoficially
to have won by the remarkably narrow mar
gin of 81 seconds in a 2,701-mile race.
Both Immediately began work on their
weather-beaten planes in an effort to get
them ready for the return to San Francisco
within the 96-hour maximum time allowed.
Lieutenant Melvin w. Maynard was the
first of the flyers going from east to west
to reach San Fra~"ieco making the Journey
from Mineola in "a hours, SO minutes, 4815
seconds.
Sixty-two aviators took part in the con-
test, which was limited to military aviators
only. At present writing, five of this num-
Der have mt death in the race. A number
of other accidents have occurred
