'The Alibi," Theme
 of Dr Edmond Sermon

We have too many ali n Atd and ought to quit blaming O. tsiiares mistakes we might easily oia i5 Avs ing right. telling the trulh ard fseigT the facts, according to en Edmonds, pastor of tn asoan3tat Presbyterian Church, WI acf tf large audience Sunday night Lyric theatre on the subject o4 Alibi"
 In taking up his subject, pr. Ed monds explained that he was not going to discuss the real alibi, the word com ing from the Greek as meaning else where" and used in courts as a per-
 feet defense by absolute proof that a defendant was somewhere else when the act with which he is charged oc-
 cured
 "The word alibi as I intend to use It
 eneans in the language of everyday life an excuse" said pr. Edmonds. The
 real meaning of the word has come to mean in common usage an excuse for doing something we should have done or explaining to our friends why we failed to do what we started out to do" pr Edmonds took his text from Gen. esis, the story of creation, where Adam, in exlaining and offering an excuse for mans first sin, said Eve made him do it, while Eve, in turn, said Adam was the cause
 "Alibis as we know them in ordinary life, and the kind which man puts forth when he planes every failure on his wife, from the failure to be on time at business appointment to that of failing to pay his debts, are simply excuses" said Dr. Edmonds. -Thev l may be divided into six classes. each class having it's own pet words of ea | planation The first is accident, I did not mean to do it. second. ignorance | I did not know the gun was loaded: third, opposition. I could not help it.; | fourth, prudence I did not dare.' fifth, l heredity, T could not change my dis 1 position and. sixth, environment. I could not raise myself above my sur roundings.
 Some alibis used in the sense of ex- | cuses may be acceptable. but the great 1 majority of them are not. We must ad . init our failures with the truth We must confess and repent and then there Is the greatest power in life-- {, that of Christ, who, if we will accept
 Him. and do as He would have us do | and live as He would have us live, will enable us to succeed without petty ex | etses and useless alibis."

for every ounce of the alcohol they se- cure they have to keep accurately rec
 ords of who gets it and how much. Beyond this, there can be no traffic
 in liquor in Alabama. In fact pure grain
 alcohol is not considered a beverage and
 the restrictions governing the handling of this alcohol and the limitations upon the quantities to be secured and the pur-
 poses for which 1t is sold will prevent
 any considerable amount of it being used for other than purely medicinal purposes. ENTIRELY ERRONEOUS The federal law allows the disposition of whisky and certain other liquors, but
 of course. this cannot be done in Ala-
 bama for the state law prevents if. The
 idea that the whisky held in the bonded warehouses in Birmingham can be sold is entirely erroneous. It must be held
 there until disposed of by the owners through some enabling act of congress. At present there is no provision by which the liquor in Birmingham can ever be shipped out of the country by the own CTS"
 There is no use for any one to get pre- scriptions and come to him expecting to get them filled out of confiscated liq~or, according to John D. McNeel. collector of internal revenue. There can be no whisky sold in Alabama, declared Mir McNee1 While the federal government allows druggists to dispose of whisky
 under certain restrictions in states where there is no state law to the contrary such is not the case in Alabama. And as to the report that l will fill all pre- scriptions for whisky, nothing could be further from the truth. Tn the first place, the whisky in the bonded ware house here, while under control of the government. is the property of private | owners. There is no way under which any of it can be disposed of
 ''There is no confiscated liquor to be l sold. Government agents capture more 1 or less moonshine whisky, but that is de- stroyed There will be no legalized sale of liuuor in Alabama while the laws re-
 main as they are"

In other words, Alabama is dry and is going to remain dry and those who de- sire to partake of whisky must continue to make the home distilled or secure some of the mesgre private stock which con- stantly grows more private or else they must connect with some mountain dew which may still be obtained in more or less quantities in certain sections of the state.
 But as for the legalized sale of whisky in Alabama. by way of a physician's prescription. through the druggist or from the stores of confiscated liquor, there will be nothing doing
 CANNOT BE SOLD
 There is no way under which whisky can be sold in Alabama or any prescrip- tions for whisky filled declared J.. Kelly Dixon, in long distance convcr- sation with the Age-Hersld yesterday. How can any druggist sell whisky in can't secure any from any source" asked the federal prohibition enforcement of- ficer
 "I have sent out to the druggists infor- nation regarding the sale of pure grain alcohol for medicinal purposes and have notified them of the regulations pre- scribed by the government for the hand ling of this pure alcohol. But as for whisky, no provisions are made by which any druggist in Alabama can secure 1t or keep it after he secured it, or dis pose of it in case he had it.
 "The federal law provides that drug gists, who secure permits and make the proper bond, can secure a certain amount of pure grain alcohol which they can dispose of for purely medicinal purposes. upon prescriptions properly made out for limited amounts by physicians who are properly authorized to write these pre- scriptions The druggists have to account
