National Dry Law
 May Have Loophole

M1EwsPAPER readers have noted J N with increasing interest the de- |velopments in the legal fight to de- termine whether beer may continue to be manufactured containing not more than 2 3-4 per cent alcohol. Elihu Root is counsel for the manufacturers in this litigation which means that no Iexpense is being spared to protect the interests of the beer manufacturers. A federal judge in New York has just ruled that beer containing this percentage of alcohol may continue to be manufactured pending the de- termination by the courts of the ques- tion whether such beer is intoxicat- ing. Evidence is being gathered from |the four corners of the country to |substantiate the claim that 2 3-4 per cent beer is nonintoxicating. Food experts, health experts, chemists, |dieticians, laymen and others are making depositions for <and against the contention.
 A look into the future may give a clue to the reason for the intensity and thoroughness of the legal battle that is now being waged. The high est courts of the land will be called upon to make a decision giving an affirmative or negative answer to the question, "Is 2 3-4 per cent beer in toxicating?"
 The people of the United States, through their legislatures, have rati- fled constitutional amendment eff fective next January, the first and vital section of which reads as fol lows:
 "Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article, the man.
 ufacture, sale or transportation of in
 toxicating liquors within, the importa-
 tion thereof into, or the exportatior
 thereof from the United States anc
 all territory subject to the jurisdic-
 tion thereof for beverage purposes is
 hereby prohibited"
 Suppose that sometime before next January the highest courts of the lanc lhave ruled that beer containing 2 3-4 Iper cent alcohol is not intoxicating
 Plainly the new constitutional amend
 ment would not apply to such beer cl ito any other beverage which con
 tained not more than ? 3-4 per cen
 alcohol because the courts wduld al
