DRY" OFFICER
HOLDS CIDER is
UNDER THE BAN

I'VE have no information re-
garding the reported decision
by Attorney General Palmer
which holds that 1t Is legal to
manufacture cider for home
consumption, and we will con-
tinue to arrest all those having
in their possession cider with
more than one-half of ono per
cent alcohol" Captain r. E.
Perkins, chief of the prohibi-
tion enforcement squad in New
Mexico, said yesterday.
Attorney General Palmer's
opinion, carried in an Asso-
ciated Press story in the Jour
nal Sunday, holds that by sec
ton 29 Of the national prohi-
bition enforcement act, 1t is
legal to manufacture cider for
home use, arguing that when
the cider Is first made it con-
tains less than one half. of one
per cent alcohol and that the
kick" comes in the fermenta-
tion and not in the manufact-
ure.
Captain Perkins stated that
the decision is in conflict with
provisions of the enforcement
act under which he must ope-
rate, and unless he is advised
from Washington to change his
scheme of attack, he will con-
tinue to hoIc, cider with more
than the minimum alcoholic
content as grounds for speedy
arrest.

Two 10-YEAR-0LD BOYS UNDER
ARREST CHARGED With ROBBING
MESA P0ST0FFlcE OF $4,000
Their Method, Officers Say, Was to Open
Lock Boxes, After Experimenting to Dis
cover the Combinations, and Then Re-

tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Phoenix, Ariz.. Dec. 20.-Teles-
foro Robles and Fernando Montijo,
f0-year- boys, were arrested in
Mesa, sixteen miles southeast of
here, this afternoon by United
States Marshal j. L. Dillon on a
charge of robbing the postofficc.
The marshal said the boys had
taken more than $4,000 in checks
and money orders from the postof-
flee in the last three months.
Their method. according to the
marshal, was to open the lock box
es after experimenting sufficiently
to discover the combinations, and
then remove from patrons mail
money checks or money orders
There was nothing to indicate any
attempt to cash money orders or
the marshal said, but on
the contrary they were believed to
have been destroyed. He said the
boys were caught today in the act
of tearing UP several hundred dol

The only amendment discussed
by the lords today was that adopt
ed by the lower house providing
that if either area in Ireland re-
fused to set up a parliament the
executive could not make the offer
a second time. unless within three
years after June J.. next, both
houses of the British parliament
adopted a resolution asking for 1t.
Earl Middletown objected to this
time limit and challenged ID divi-
sion on the question. He was de-
feated decisively by a vote of 81 to
IA, where upon this and the other
commons amendments were agreed
to without further discussion.
One of the principal changes in
the bill made by the lords is that
senates will be created for both the
northern and southern parliaments.
AS proposed by the government
the question of the method of es-
tablishing the senates was to be
left for the decision of the Irish
parliaments,
Another modification secured by
the lords Is that instead of the
council of Ireland being named by
the two parliaments. each senate
will appoint seven of its members
and each parliament 13. making a
total of 40, while instead of the
president of the council being the
lord chancellor of Ireland. as pro-
posed by the government. he will
be named by the lord lieutenant
on the advice of the crown.
The lords also defeated the pro-
posal that the Irish parliaments
should have the power to levy a
surtax.
1t is generally supposed that the
government regards the bill as the
basis for future negotiations and
with this idea has purposely re-
served the question of customs and
excise from the bill.

"AM | MY BROTHERS. KEEPER?"
ALBUQUERQUE ANSWERS "YEsv'

This was the question asked by
the first murderer. in the effort to
conceal his guilt
rms question is still asked today
by men and women who seek to
dodge their responsibility for the
welfare Of their fellowbeings.
AND they answer it something
like this:
"oh, well, have troubles
enough of my own"
Il have to deny myself
things. Why should I worry
about the other fellow? No
ME-"
Il gave enough during the
war. Now I am going to think
about NUMBER ONE!"

cause of their own lack of
thrift. Why should I encour-
age the lazy by giving any
thing? The more you help
that KIND of people, the more
they WANT
IAN you hear these days is
Give, give, GIVE!' 1t makes
fellow tired"
All these attempts to salve ones
conscience are but variations of
that age-old question of Gains:
Am | my brothers keeper" And
all are equally resorted to for the
purpose of concealing something
OF which one might well be
ashamed--the Demon Selfishness.

not many such persons in Albu-
