WHISKEY CAN BE
SECURED LEGALLY
FOR MEDICINAL USE

Washington, Jan. 29.-It's all
very we'll to permit hospitals to lay
in a supply of alcoholic liquors with
which to treat influenza patients,
but how about the thousands of
victims who are confined to their
homes and whose physicians have
had and may have difficulty find
ing drug stores with stock of such
stimulantS?
Inquiry at the legal department of
the internal revenue office here,
where directions\are given for the
national enforcement Of the prohibi-
ton law, yielded me some pertinent
information IS to the manner in
(which the law is being construed as
we'll as the legal method by which
the wants of anybody in the United
States suffering from influenza or
any other ailment for which a ply
sician declares alcohol is necessary
a medicine can be upplied.
The process is this: Any physician
who sets forth under oath that he
needs alcohol, whether in the form
of beverage or anything else and
makes the proper affidavit before
United States attorney can get the
liquor. The United States attorney
iof course, must apply to federal
court in his jurisdiction for the
necessary permission and if there is
an available supply in the hands of
the collector of internal revenue OBJ
tanned through confiscation, the
court may require the collector to
sell to the physicians or to GrGs
stores who hold permits for sale or
distribution of alcoholic medicines.
Available WhisE:cy
Under the law the United States
court may authorize the grant of
liquor free Of charge to a2y goyc.-'::2-
ment agency; thus the army or navy
could get it from any collector Of
internal revenue who happens to be
nearest any camp or port. Also it
is quite probable that the American
Red Cross would be construed to be
a government agency" The Red
Cross hitherto has not supplied ncd-
iicines to influenza patients, but has
confined itself to distribution Of
gauze masks and nurses, but it would
appear to be possible for the Red
Cross to obtain supply of liquor
for distribution in needy cases, al
though this point is still under dis
cussion at the headquarters of the
Red Gross and at this writing no de-
cision has been reached.

EFFORT is MADE
TO RESTORE u. S.
AIR MAIL LINES

! Washington, Jan. "a fight to
save the air mail service started to-
day in congress.
The air mail must be abandoned
at the end of the fiscal year, June
80. unless the senate restores to the
postoffice bill an sS50,000 appro-
priation for maintenance OF this
service which was, cut out. by the
house in line with its economy pro-
gram.
! Otto Praeger, second assistant
postmaster general, went before the
senate postoffice committee today
to plead for the air mail. He is in
charge of it.
Friends of the air mail said to-
day that America led the world in
its development and that abandon
ing it at this juncture is reaction
ary move. Its foes said they believed
it was not worth the money it
takes to keep it running.
! Mr.. Praeger declared today that
if the senate does not restore the
appropriation, an extensive program
Of air mail Development, which
wo1ld bring many new cities within
Us scope, must be given up.
THE plan was, during the next
fiscal year," said Mr.. Praeger, ''to
extend old air mail routes and create
new ones so that the service would
include daily mail deliveries by air
over these routes:
"New York to the Pacific, prob
ably San Francisco.
"New York to Atlanta, via Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and Washington.
! "Pitt3auGg to Kansas City, via
Cincinnati and indianapolis.
/ "St. Paul to st. Louis. through
the Mississippi Valley.
"Tho-a nlans must be abandoned
as well as extending air mail routes
which are New York to Chicago, via
Cleveland, and Washington TO New
York.
"Thirty planes now constitute the
air mail fleet. They carried more
than 100000 pieces of mail from
the beginning of the service to Jan
uary G."
! The air mail as now operated can
carry the mail it handles much
cheaper tnan if carried by railroad,
Mr. Praeger said. Thus, it now costs
about $365,000 a year to operate. If
abandoned it will cost 100000 an
nually, Mr.. Praeger figures, to carry
the same quantity and class of mail
by train. The new air routes plan
ned for next year, Mr.. Praeger as
serted, would mean a saving of ap-
proximately $2,600,000-seventy per
cent in charges paid railroads and
thirty per cent in salaries of train
clerks. To open up these new lines
the post office department is asking
congress for S3,OOO,OOO appropria-
tion for equipment.
! More than 100 cities have appliec,
for air mail routes, Mr.. Praeger sai;,
and interest in the service is rapidly
increasing all over the country.
Members Of the senate post office
committee said hey wanted Mr..
Pracger to give them facts and
figures showing how the air mail has
worked cut financially.
! Senator McKellar, Tennessee, caid
today, he will lead a vigorous fight
for return of the appropriation. He
also is fighting to have eliminated
from Senator News bill, creating an
aircraft department, all reference to
the air mail service. This bill is now
pending. in the senate, and Mr.. Nc
Kellar has prepared an amendment
to take out the air mail service and
leave it under post Office supervision.
