War conditions have prevented the

GEORGIA'S EXPERIENCE
WITH DRY LAW AND BEER
Under Her Prohibition Law Beer
Manufacture and Sale was Per-
nitted; Made Law a Farce; Soon
Changed

When Georgia first adopted Prohi-
bition to become effective January /,
1908, the alcoholic content was fixed
at per cent The law did not there
fore close the saloons nor stop the
breweries. Two per cent beer was
sold just the same as in the old days.
Rank violations OF the law resulted
because few OF tho saoonkcepers were
willing to limit themselves to that
per cent They sold all sorts OF stuff
and then boasted that Prohibition was
failure.
The good people OF Georgia refused
TO be fooled. \ special session OF the
Legislature was called within a few
years and a drastic law enacted pro-
hibiting all liquors containing any
per cent whatsoever of alcohol. That
law is in force today and Georgia
likes it. The appeal for beer and light
wines finds little response in that
STATE.

LIQUOR DEALERS MAINTAIN
THEIR OLD ORGANIZATION
Four Hundred Philadelphia Dealers
Hold Regular Monthly Meeting
Warning to Drys

According to the Philadelphia pa
pers, 400 members OF the Retail Liz
uor Dealers Association of that city
held their regular monthly meeting
the other day.
For hours these old liquor dealers
picked flaws in the Eighteenth
Amendment and proved at least to
their own satisfactf6h that neither
the Eighteenth Amendment nor the
Volstead law will be upheld by the
courts, nor enforced il upheld
Now, when 400 saloonkeepers in
one city attend meeting in the in
terest of the outlawed traffic it should
be danger signal to those drys who
are consoling themselves that there
is nothing to do and that the fight is
over.

BOOZE FAILS TO PREVENT
LABOR UNREST IN EUROPE
France and England, Despite Much
Booze, Are Facing General Strike
of Labor

A press dispatch carrying a Paris
dateine OF March IS reports that
nearly 100000 prisoners are ON strike
in France, according to estimates
made by officials OF The Federation Of
Labor.
A London dispatch OF March Is by
the Associated Press says that the
National Conference OF Coal Miners
at its session on that date declared
in favor OF general strike
Now, isn't that strange: France is
dripping wet and England is soaked
with booze And yet there are labor
disorders!
Whenever there is a strike or a
threatened strike in the United States
the booze publicity men have no dill
fculty apparently in getting their
declaration printed in the big news
papers to the effect that the labor dis
order is the result of Prohibition.
We'll, anyway. the situation i'll
France and England offers good evi-
dence that booze is no preventive OF

NEW YORK CROWDED
- WITH EAGER BUYERS
Evidence That Country Has Diverted
$2,ooo,o0o,o00 From Booze Till to
Channels of Legitimate Trade

New York is crowded with buyers
this early in the spring. Never before
were there so many and never before
did they buy so generously,
This influx is from every part of
the country and the purchasers are
after every kind of merchandise. Pro-
hibtion is quite generally credited
with this phenomenal buying boom.
The people have more money to
spend because they have stopped
worse than wasting it for booze.
The New York hotels, many oil
which believed they would be ruined
by Prohibition, can not take care Of
the visitors. The hotel business is
booming along with everything else.
When country suddenly diverts
two billion dollars annually from
booze to merchandise it is certain to
Improve general business. This is the
argument, and it is we'll founded

NEW YORK FINDS USE FOR
DISCARDED BEER BARRELS
Use of Beer Kegs to Relieve the
Shortage of Milk Contain
ers Is Suggested
JAKE RUPERT "WILLIN' !"
Grave Doubts Entertained That
the Odoriferous. Kegs Are
Not Sanitary

1t is said that New YORK City's
milk supply is about 100000 quarts a
day short and that this shortage is
due to shortage in milk cans.
Somebody suggested that the dis
carded beer kegs be utilized and, ac-
cording to the New York Tribune OF
March 20, this suggestion has drawn
chemists, retired brewers, milk deal
ers and health officials into a contro-
sversy.
1t is estimated that there are about
million beer kegs piled high and
dry i'll back yards of breweries, and
it is certain that their owners would
be glad to find profitable means Of
disposing of them.
officials of the Health Department,
however, say that milk would become
contaminated from the wood of the
kcg and might result in ptomaine
poisoning of consumers.
Jacob Rupert New York brewer,
when approached on the subject, was
interested. He is quoted in the Trib-
ane as saying: "Why not? Why
should we let all the beer kegs go to
ruin2 The scheme seems practicable.
A sanitary milk can lining might be
put into the key, one end knocked
put and milk can top provided. A
beer key holds 128 quarts, as against
4S quarts capacity of milk can. This
would mean that three times as much
.pilk could be shipped in one key as
IS now shipped in one cam"
Peter Dolger advised that a chem
st be brought into consultation. He
was not sure about the sanitary lin
ing. He explained Beer kegs have
pitch in them. The cleansing pro-
cesses to which milk containers are
subjected would melt the pitch and
his would contaminate the milk"
1t remains to be seen whether the
milk key will supplant the milk can,
but one thing is certain; milk is sup
planting beer to large extent among
workingmen in the big mills.
Many employers have established
milk dispensaries in their plants and
HE workingmen are now rushing the
milk bottle instead of the GROWER
: In fact, this experiment was tried out
before Prohibition became operative
in some of the largest mills OF the
rountry and the men put their APP
sova, upon it. The big shipyards of
Te Pacific coast which held the rec
ofd for speed and production during
he war were manned by milk drink
rs instead OF beer drinkers.
No doubt some use will be found
for the discarded beer kegs whether

TWELVE DRINKS CAUSE
SENSATION IN CHICAGO

The newspapers OF Chicago on
March II reported that y DRINKS
were taken in by the police on the
night of the 10th, which is the big
gest harvest of wet nigh since the
town went dry" says the Chicago
Journal The fact that the arrest of
II men for drunkenness in a single
night in a city OF considerably more
than two million population is OF such
unusual occurrence as to be featured
i'll the newspapers, speaks we'll for
the enforcement OF the dry law. Such
an event would not have been news a
year ago. No explanation is given
for the sudden increase in drunken
ness.

Seattle Y M. c. A. Physical Training
Department has Big Increase in
Membership Since Advent of Pro-
hibition

Another beneficial effect OF Prohi-
bition of unusual character is noted
in the Seattle Post lntelligencer OF
recent date in an editorial under the
caption Popping Up The Intelli-
gencer says that recent large in
crcases in classes attending the Y. NJ.
c. A. physical culture department are
ascribed to Prohibition law. 1t used
to be the habit for men with frazzled
nerves and low vitality to resort to
his dram. but when a man feels the
need of more pep now sin his daily
life he goes to gymnasium instead
of barroom. The editorial quotes
the director OF one athletic society
as follows:
We have taken a thousand new
men into the department in six
months-that much net gain.
The result began just after the
first pinch OF Prohibition was felt,
and it is still SO strong that we
are hard put to accommodate all.
The editorial continues:
"One society in Seattle devoted ex-
clusively to special system of phys
ical training has something like 800
business men of middle age or beyond
on its membership lists. Other ath-
letic and physical culture societies
have as many or more. Not only has

Death of Matty Mcintyre
Brings Back Memories of

Matty Mcintyre, old Detroit star, who

most Popular players of the game.
The announcement of McIntyres death
brought to the mind OF the fans recollec-
tions of great days in baseball from the
first incursion Of the American league
into majordom until the end of Detroit's

dropped back 10 the minors and wound
up his professional career as manager
Of the Mobile team in 1916
In recent years he had played indie
pendent ball in Detroit, just for the love
of the game.
Mcintyre was a great hitter in his day
and always lowered around the 800 mark
Also baserunners feared his strong left
arm. for no outielder of his time could
boast of n better or truer throw,
His former admirers as a ball player
will be glad 10 know that In passing
out ne left an unsullied record as a man
and that his widow is we'll provided for.
She is the only close relative surviving
