ARGUE THAT DRINK
WITH MEAL $50. K.
New York Attorneys Explain When
A Nip Is Not . Nip, But
Court Is Skeptical

NEW YORK, Dec. when is a
drink not a drink?' another conun-
drum bred of prohibition, was sprung
in the supreme court here yesterday.
The answer is when il is taken at
meals for food or alimentary purposes
At home, hotels, and restaurants"
The contention was made by coun-
sci for Howard Major, Of this city. a
stockholders in the American Malt
and Grain Company, a s13 200, 005 con-
cerGiin q suit brought against erst-
while directors, combating their &C
tion in selling out at a loss to an
other corporation. The plaintiff as
serted that If they had obtained
competent legal advice" they would
have known" that the words "bever-
age purposes" In the Federal prohibit
tion amendment did not mean total
prohibition"
Majors counsel declared that "by
legal, economic, and pathological def
milton, beverage purposes as used in
the amendment, means drinking be-
tween meals, for tipping purposes,
and for pleasure only, as at bars and
in saloons" and that restaurants will
in a very short time be enabled 10
sell liquor"
Justice Lazanzky remarked that If
the definition of the term beverage
purposes" must be gone into. he de-
sired time 10 do it, and asked for
briefs. ....

CANAL ZONE GOVERNOR
BARS LABOR LEADERS
A. F. of L. Protests Action of Har-

For ENJOYS To Land

NEW YORK, Dec. &c. Howard
Sewers and Anthony Stair, representa-
tives of the American Federation of
Labor, who sailed away a few weeks
ago for Cristobal to hear the griev-
ances of 5000 organized canal zone
workers, returned here aboard the
steamship Tivives, asserting that Gov
Chester Harding, without giving them
any explanation, had refused them
permission to land.
Sewers, assistant to the president
of the United Brotherhood of Main
tenance of Way Employees and Rail-
way Shop Laborers. and Stair general
organizer of the brotherhood. said
permission to land at Limon also
had been refused them by provisional
President Francisco Aguilar Barquero
of Costa Rica-
The labor men said they carried
in addition to passports, credentials
from Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor;
Senator Edge and Representative
Hutchinson of New Jersey.
The only reason to which the labor
men said they could attribute for
Governor Hardings action was that
on voyage down the coast they had
become involved in a disagreement
with a fellow-passenger. who, they
added, had lodged complaint with
boarding officers at Cristobal. Ac-
.cording to their version, they had OBJ
jected to a remark which he had
made to the effect that he was "glad
he had never become an American
citizen" and that ill-feeling had fol-
lowed.

ern themselves, produce wealth and keep their
promises.
Destroying that faith invites a universal
smash. Tearing down the fabric of production
means universal misery. To attempt to exploit
that production for immediate personal profit,
runs the risk of killing the faith upon which
production rests.
A new age can grow from the old only if the
soil is not destroyed Social institutions of
long evolution. Breaks in the chain make nee
essary long new'processes of preparation.
To be concrete, it is bad time to start profit

credit is to be restored to life. Reciprocally be-
cause industry and production, organized to-
day rests on credit, it is bad time to start a
fracas that will smash credit The worlds fu-
ture hangs the faith that and women
will continue to work and produce wealth. IF
that faith fails, the rest will bring little hope
comfort to this generation.
The reactionary and revolutionist alike are
rousing cosmic forces that might be easily
managed and directed in other times but that
today can as easily wreck the best of what the
past has gained the present possesses or the
future promises.

WHOSE BUSINESS?

Examinations, made just before the close of
the schools of Escambia county last spring,
showed definitely that not less than eight out
Of every ten children in the rural schools are
suffering from hookworm disease If all of us
could realize what a tragedy this is to the nd-
vidual child who harbors the parasites, how it
retards his growth both physically and men,
tally, how it diminishes his capacity to learn
his lessons, to perform physical tasks, in short
to earn livelihood and enjoy living while he
does it, if we could realize all that, there would
be no necessity to insist that SOMETHING be
done to destroy the destroyers and to prevent
their return
A hookworm is small thing as an individual
but he is large in number and once anchored
to the lining of the intestine he persists at his
task of drawing blood for his sustenance, drop
by drop, day after day, for years until the poor
sufferer fails utterly to replenish the supply of
or impoverishment of the blood with it's inevi-
opment and lowered resistance to all sorts of
diseases.
There is law which gives the State Board
of Health authority over sanitary meas
ures of city and county, and much benefit is
hoped for by it's enforcement, but WHOSE PAR
TICULAR BUSINESS IS 1T GOING TO BE
to see to it that proper measures carried
out in THIS COUNTY to prevent the reinfec-
ton of children with hookworm and other in
testinal disease. WHOSE BUSINESS IS 1T
GOING TO BE to rid the hundreds of little
sufferers of this county of the parasites that,
right now are draining the very life blood from
their veins?

CONSOLIDATION OF
RURAL SCHOOLS is
NOW IN PROGRESS

Taking the initiative in school con-
solidation and motor transportation
of students in West Florida and south
ern Alabama the county school board
has ordered bodies for five auto trucks
which will be used in this district
during the coming term.
One of the trucks will be put on
the route from Gonzalez to Film
gimville and ii is probable that Con
zalez. Walnut Hill and Oak Grove
will be on the proposed transportation
line. Another may make the trip to
the school created by the Brent-Gould-
ing consolidation and it is possible
that the Bayou Chico school may be
included.
The bodies Of the trucks have been
ordered through j. W. Clements, of the
Wayne Works, Richmond, Indiana who
is consulting with school board Off
Gals here. The chases will be supplied
locally in order to simplify the matter
of repairs. Bodies are guaranteed for
a period of 20 years.

WORLDS CREDIT FOUNDATION.

The modern business world is built on credit,
and most of modern civilization is built on bust
ness.
Credit, hitherto built on broad foundations &C
cording to tested principles, is vast invert-
ed pyramid with it's apex on shifting sands.
Gold payments, the accepted test of national
credit stability, have everywhere been suspend
ed. The refusal of the Bank of England to re-
deem its promises in gold has always been sign
that the las tbulwark against universal bank
ruptcy was cracking. That bank has paid out
no gold for five years
No nation is meeting its obligations. Billions
of dollars of paper money have flowed over the
world with flood that has lifted the price level
to demoralizng heights. All these are promises
TO pay gold. None of these promises are now
being met. Business relations maintained
the hope that the payment is but deferred.
But that hope has been so long deferred that
the business heart is very sick
Other billions, unimaginable ten years ago,
have been issued in bonds. Those of Germany
Austria, Turkey and Russia seem certainly lost
But the threads of the credit web interlace
closely all across the world Tearing out such
great sections strain and threaten its stability
everywhere.
Moreover. most of these billions were borrow
ed to buy things to destroy and be destroyed
and have done their work. The world went to
the verge, if not over the verge of bankruptcy
to buy fuel for a frightful bonfire. The money
is spent. The security is destroyed.
Great financiers in every land now say the
only way out lies through greater debts. Be
cause Europe has destroyed so much more must
be given it. Only by stretching the thin and torn
web of credit over the whole world can it be
rebuilt
II cannot be rebuilt upon the old material
things. They are gone 1t must be founded upon
the substance of things hoped for 1t must be
built upon faith in the power of peoples to gov

On April II, 1850, the triangle at the
north end of Long Acre Square,
bounded by Broadway and Seventh
Avenue, Forty-seventh and Forty
eighth Streets, with other property to
the east, some of which is the site of
we'll known theaters, was disposed Of
at public auction. The triangle as
then sold extended much further
south, the impression being that it
included the land now used by the
Knights Of Columbus community
house. This is indicated by the fact
that there were seven parcels in the
triangle and each one was of good
width. The seven sold for total of
$3,925, the prices ranging from $21O
for the apex to Sl,lo0 for the Forty
eighth Street frontage now the site
of the Palais Royal. The triangle will
be assessed at $l,52O,000 this year.
Who Would Not Pay $l7,S20 for Plaza
Site?
Refusal to pay taxes led to the sale
of considerable land through the
central sections of the city some time
III the late 40's. The land improved
with the Hotel Plaza was part of this
sale. The hotel site, the city thinks.
is worth $4,175,0O0, and unless the
owners Of the properly can snow that
the land and the building are not
worth as much as $S,1OO,O0O they will
have to pay taxes on that amount.
At the sale held by the city for the
non payment of taxes the same area
sold for S17,82O. The eight lots on
Fifth Avenue brought $15.4OO, the cor
ners Of Fifty-eighth and Fifty ninth

Startling Statements of Auction Ads Are
True - Many Ins tances Where a Few
Thousands of Dollars Have Grown
Into COod-Sized Fortunes - Prices
Then Like To-day

Retrospcction is always amusing and
interesting, and very often astonishing,
especially when the survey is back
through the real estate fields of this
city.
1ncredulity was clearly written on
many faces in the crowd which attend
ed the auction sale OF Van Cortlandt
estate lots after ]. Clarence Davies
had said the valuable property at the
southeast corner of Broadway and
Forty-second Street not more than half
century ago brought only S4,05o. The
expression of doubt was the visible
sign Of mental. excitement, because it
is rather difficult to comprehend
contrast so great in so few years
The fact is that Anthony Bleecker,
who auctioned the property by the or
der of the Sinking Fund Commission
ers of the City of New York for the
non-paymcnt of taxes or for some other
reason. had rather difficult time get
ting even s4050 for the corner. He
had to take many S25 and $50 bids to
get the price up to the figure which it
sold at. Evidence Of the poor opinion
real estate folk of the 4O's had of
property in the vicinity of Broadway
and Forty-second Street is shown by
the prices which they begrudgngly
gave for the land now the site of the
Hotel knickerbockcr, the Longacre
Building. at the northeast corner of
Broadway and Forty-sccond Street, and
for other property on Longacrc Square
From s23.OSo to so.57O,OO0
1t seems ludicrous, in view of prices
paid to-day for the most diminutive
space in the Forty second Street sec
ton, to see the prices paid for the 3l4
