HOME BREWERS ABSORB
 MICHIGAN'S GRAPE CROP
lBy Initel Pres.l

Lawton, Mich, Aug. 20.-The fluid to be pressed from the greatest grape yield in the history of Michigan's vast arbor acreage will lose it's identity n Hectars of home ingenuity
 Home brewers are demanding all the grape juice they can get for their ] favorite connections. And when WIl- liam Jennings Bryan, as he spoke to Chautauqua audiences, prophesied the juice of the concord would soon be- come the beverage of the nation, he was partly right-partly only-be- cause he did not conceive of nat on countenancing home brew.
 According to Mrs. Fern McPherson, manager of the Southern Michigan Fruit Growers Association, almost all | the 3O,OOO tons of grapes yielded by the arbors of the member growers will find it's way to stills of home brewers.
 " We will harvest about 90 per cent of the grapes from arbors within an area of 50 square miles, said Mrs. McPherson. Orders have been com Ing in for weeks from home brewers from as far west as Denver, as far south as Texas and Memphis and from several eastern cities such as New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
 Michigan grapes go into new areas this year, notably sections hit by the Eighteenth amendment.
 Our clients tell us they must have grapes at any price. For instance New York and New Jersey buyers want options on the whole output. We have analysed this demand. h. varlably the answer comes back to us confidently that home brewesr, have written grapes into the.r re- ceipts.'
 Last year only sixty per cent of the yleId was marketable, and in 1918, only thirty-three per cent.
 Grapes wholesaled at S110 ton last year. They may go at $50 a ton this year, says Mrs. McPherson.
 Concerns here manufacturing grape lades and jellies will run to capacity. A well-known manufacturer is open ing plant here to manufacture grape juice.
 Grape growers are assured the high est price ever paid them for their largest crop. Weather has favored grape growing-just enough rain and cool weather. The yield, according to the State Agricultural Department is ninety-one per cent, and the highest on record.

LONDON SEASON ENDS
 IN SOCIAL FAILURE
lBy United Pressl

London. (By Mail. il.)-London's so- cial season is closing and it is unan- imously agreed that it has been .a failure.
 The opinion is generally expressed that the old era of magn ficent enter tanning during the town season" has gone forever. Certainly 1920 has proved a disappointment to those who make a fetish of the social round.
 No crowds collected in Hyde Park to see the reigning society beauty canter down Rotten Row There was no reigning beauty to see. Big town mansions which normally would have been gay with window boxes, avn ings and red carpets to denote the festivities going on within, have re- mained untenanted with dismal no- tice, "To be let furnished," giving proof of the "season's" lost lure.
 CQvent Garden Opera, usually a so- cial function was merely social fiz- gle this year.
 Florists, restaurant proprietors, tailors, dressmakers and others who are financially interested in the Lon don season ruefully confess that there has been nothing doing. The slump has also been felt in theaterland.
 This state of affairs Is attributed mainly to high prices. Society has been content to mingle with the throng. Slogans have changed. From custom which amounted to Stand aloft and make splash,-' it has now become, "Lie low and save the cash" Never was there less class distinction than today Even the magnifcence of the Court of King George shows a de- cline. What court receptions there have been this year have embracer both plebeians and patricians and there was none of the old-time gilt. and glamor.

CAMPUS FALL RUINS
 LAST MEXICAN OASIS
(By United Press) ]

Tia Juana, Lower California, Aug. ,20.-Passage of this famous gambling and racing center, long the mecca of American sportsmen and tourists, loomed today as the outcome of peace ncgoations between the Mexican fed eral government and Governor Esta- ban Cantu, Lower California chief executive through several Mexican revolutions
 Along with Mexicali, across the border from Calex.co. Tia Juana, only r miles from San Diego, has grown in importance as the center of racing, drinking and gambling, until 1t has become internationally ia nous.
 Now the prosperous American con- cessionares are facing the problem of disposing of property worth mil lions of dollars in the way of liquor stocks, gambling halls, and other sideshows of the sporting world.
 Under the rulership of General Cantu, both the state government and concessionaires have enjoyed tremen- dous profits, particularly after Jan uary 16, 1920 Now Governor Cantu is faced with political extinction, while owners of large liquor stocks fear their property will be confscat- ed by the Mexican federal govern ment.
 Americans here point out that the virtually independent rule of the pro vnce by Governor Cantu, under which drinking and vice resorts flour Ished, has been a thovn in the side of the de Ia Heurta government for months. The de facto government, following the flight of President Car ranza, placed rigid restrictions on re- sorts along the Texas and Arizona border Cantu, however, refused to follow central government orders to close Tia Juana and MeXicai.
 Thousands of tourists have an nually visited here, some of them ayowedly on stunning parties, :" others to escape the great American drouth. During the hundreds days" of racing here last winter, sports men from all parts of the country, including all classes of followers of the turf sport, made this their head quarters.
 Mexicali has enjoyed similar "wide- open" conditions The "Owl,' fla nous gambling resort of that city, is known tO oan, blarc ae ono of the most unrestricted houses in the world.
