SUPREME COURT KILLS
KICK" IN NEAR BEER
One.Half of One Per Cent. Alcohol
Is the Laws Limit. Court Was
Closely Divided.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The prohi-
bition enforcement act, defining as
Intoxicating any beverage containing
one-half of 1 per cent. or more of al
cohol, was declared constitutional by
the supreme court in an opinion on
which the court divided 5 to a.
Proceedings brought by Jacob Rup-
pert, of New York, to enjoin the gov
eminent from prohibiting the sale of
PTS per cent. beer were ordered dis
missed.
Ruppert's case was brought under
the war time act. He alleged that 2.75
per cent beer was Notwithstanding,
but that the Volstead act by limiting
the alcoholic content prohibited the
sale of beer manufactured under reg
ulations prescribed under the Lever
food control act by President Will
son.
Indictments brought against the
Standard Brewery at Baltimore, and
the American Brewing Company at
New Orleans for manufacturing 2.75
per cent. beer before the war time
prohibition enforcement act became
effective were ordered dismissed.

RECORD OF AUTO
INDUSTRY IS BROKEN
PASSENGER CAR PRODUCTION
WAS 1885, 1877; MOTOR TRUCKS
ao5.142; TOTAL VALUE OF THE
OUTPUT $780,, 200, 900.

Notwithstanding the small produc-
ton during the first three months OF
1919, following the armistice, when
the industry was on practically lOO
per cent. war basis, motor car man.
ufacturers made such gigantic strides
during the other nine months that the
wears production of 1891, 1929 motor
vehicles exceeds all previous records,
including 1917, when 100000 cars
and trucks were produced. The whole
sale value brought the industry al
most to the S2,00O,O00,000 mark.
1t was only twenty years ago when
automobiles were barred from Cen
trail park-yet within these two de-
cades no year has gone by except the
war wear of 1918 which has not seen
an increased demand for these time
saving vehicles now such an import
ant part of our American life, having
advanced from the position of toys
for the rich to position on par
with the telephone, telegraph and the
railroads in their work of transport
ing men and merchandise.
Passenger car production was
slightly less than in 1917, totaling l.
586,787 as against 1,740,0OO for
1917. The truck production, however,
increased substantially, rising from
227,O0O in 1918 to more than $685.
900 in 1919.
The total wholesale value of pas.
senger cars was $1,399, 282,995, an
average of 1882 per car; while the
truck value was $408,311,58 an
average of 1888 per vehicle.
The total value of these products
was $1,807, 594,580, which, wher
combined with the wholesale value OF
bodies, spare tires and accessories tc
equip the cars or trucks ready fol
the owners use, brings the industry
close to the S2,OOO,OO0,000 class with
a practical certainty that this year its
position will be second only to stee
among the manufacturing industries
of the country.

Washington, May 13.-Wlth few
thrills and no hitch in the pre-arrang-

The measure was in the form of a

That the President will veto it is
a foregone conclusion, unchallenged

It is uncertain when the final reso-

"WhitWorth Girls Mean Busi-
ness.

An item clipped from the Prem
tbs News under the above cap
tion, gave a most complimentary
reference to our popular and
capable representative at Whit
worth, Miss Ruth Magee.
Under the chaperonage of Miss
Letitia Carter, voice teacher,
the college quartette, Misses
Fondern, Cox, Kearney and Ste-
vens with their accompanist,
Miss Kitrell, accompanied Miss
Magee to Prentis and furnished
delightful music to q large crowd
assembled to hear the claims of
the Y work as presented by the
gifted young woman.
The News reporter made the
following conclusion: Miss Ruth
Magee, speaker of the occasion,
in a graceful and able manner
told of the determination of the
Whitworth girls to build a Y hut
on the college campus. Miss
Magee touched the hearts of
every one present and a volun-
tary offering was made amour t.
iry to S187.50."
Miss Magee later made a sim.
liar appeal to the people of Brook
haven and received a donation to
the cause amounting to about
$4,000
Personally we are all interest
ed in the splendid service Ruth
is performing, especially since
her class average is one of the
best the college records show
for the term.
While in Prentis, Miss Magee
was entertained by Miss Annie
Rose Berry who was at the head
of the Home Economics Depart
ment here last year.

Saturday night three young
lads from Bogalusa, Sheridan,

car and clothing reeked with the
ordor of lemon extract, several
bottles of which were afterward
found in the cur.
They raced in their car thru
the streets with wild whoops and
yells and a continuous firing of
guns and resisted all efforts Of the
city police to arrest them. Sheriff
Bateman and his deputies finally
took the matter in charge and fol-
lowed the boys to Bogalusa where
they were arrested and brought
back here and lodged in Jail till
given a trial in the city court with
the following results:
Willie j. Sheridan charged with
being drunk plead guilty and fin
