MANY A DRUNK In
3 PER CENT. BEER
By the United Press.

By the United Press.
WASHINGTON, March i3.-lou can
get drunk on less than per cent beer
the Anti-Saloon League today claimed,
and announced its intentions TO tight
all legislation TO legalize the per cent
product.
ITO define 3 per cent beer as non
intoxicating is absurd" said Wayne b.
Wheeler. general counsel for the league.
Everyone knows that a person can
beconle intoxicated on less than 3 per
cent beer.
'The proposed definition OF liquor and
Intoxicating liquor in the New York
7 oeisIature is a combination OF incOn-
sistency, absurdlty and futility. The in
prsdient that makes liquor intoxicating
is alcohol.
"Thls attempt by the New York Leg
islaiure TO nullify the Federal prohibi-
lion acis will be futile. The war prohi-
bition act prohibits Intoxicating liquor
when the enforcement code is enacted.

house with wooden snake cunningly
carved and colored. / observed there
were many things on the tree which
had not been taken down when we
younger ones gathered up our wealth
and repaired to Aunt DeePs room to
feast our eyes upon 1t and compare
our good fortune.
The women and the big girls rolled
up their sleeves and went to work with
Aunt Deel preparing the dinner. The
great turkey and the chicken pie were
made ready and put in the oven and
the potatoes and the onions and the
winter squash were soon boiling in
their pots on the stovetop. Mean
while the children were playing in my
aunt's bedroom and Uncle Hiram and
Uncfe Jabez were pulling sticks in
corner while the other men sat tipped
against the wall watching and making
playful comments-all save my Uncle
Peabody, who was trying toptouch his
head to the floor asd then straighten
up with the aid of tihS broomstick.
In the midst of it AGat Deel opened
the front door and old Kate, the Silent
Woman, entered. To my surprise, she
wore decent-looking dress OF gray
homespun cloth and a white cloud
looped over her head and ears and tied
around her neck and a good pair Of
boots.

She smiled and nodded Aer head and
sat down in the chair which Uncle Pea
body had placed for her at the stove
side. Aunt Deel took the cloud Off
her head while Kate drew her mittens
newly knitted of the best yarn. Then
my aunt brought some stockings and a
shawl from the tree and laid them on
the lap of old Kate. What a silence
fell upon us as we saw tears coursing
down the cheeks of this lonely old
woman of the countryside-tears Of
joy, doubtless, for God knows how long
II had been since the poor, abandoned
soul had seen a merry Christmas and
shared its kindness. 1 did not fail to
observe how clean her face and hands
looked She was greatly changed.
She took my hand as / went to her
side and tenderly caressed 1t. A gen.
tier smile came to her face than ever

returned for a moment as she held one
finger aloft in gesture which only
and my Aunt Deel understood. We
knew it signalized peril and a mys-
terry. That 1 should have to meet 1t,
somewhere up the hidden pathway, /

cheerful voice of Aunt Deel.

How can I forget how she held my
arm against her with that loving, ia.
miliar, rocking motion of a woman
who is soothing baby at her breast
and kissed my coat sleeve? She re-
leased my arm and turning TO the win
dow, leaned her head upon its sill and
shook with sobs. The dusk had thick

stove / could dimly see her form

sat in silence for little while.
Then Uncle Peabody rose and got a
candle and lighted it at the hearth.
