DRYS FOR PLAN
TOPAYFOR
LIQUOR
Government May Buy Big
Stocks and Sell in Law
full Ways.

Owners of intoxicating liquors will
be fully compensated for losses sus-
tanned under the. operation of ma
tional prohibition. If a plan now be-
ing seriously considered by dry"
leaders in Congress and officials Of
the Bureau of Internal Revenue IS
enacted into law.
The proposal was drafted by a
group of the more conservative pro-
hibitionIsts in Congress. and was
submitted to the revenue department
for examination and approval 1t
provides that all liquors now held
in bonded warehouses, approximate
ly 100000 gallons. shall be pur-
chased by the government.
The government would dispose Of
the liquor for medicinal. scientific.
Industrial and other legitimate pur-
poses authorized under the prohi-
bition law. Government experts also
would be engaged to make expert
ments for the purpose Of discovering
new uses to which the liquor could
be diverted. 1t has been suggested
that the alcoholic beverages might
be transformed into fuel for
motors.
Pay o. Sale. Are Made.
Payment for the liquor would be
made in Treasury certificates ma
turing only as the government
could find a legitimate market for
its tremendous stock. The authors
of the plan estimate that from ten
to twenty years would be required
to exhaust the supply.
News that such a proposal has
the support of the dry" leaders
came as a surprise. In cNplana-
ton they declare this method of
relieving the government of what
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer
declares is likely to become a per
petual white elephant will make

enforcement Of the dry" law.
Ii Is pointed out that many millions
of dollars are involved in investments
based on the bonded liquor and that
many banks holding warehouse GER
tificates will suffer heavily il some
form Of relief is not provided. This
has great weight with conservative

Men and Business
BY RICHARD SPILLANE.

jeremiah Evarts was a man OF
high culture and refinement, and
the son of a man Of wealth.
Some of the items in his account
are amusing. 1t wasn't a sin in
his day to drink and he put down
his score for beer. wine, etc. with
out appreciation of how it looks to-
day. Some of the Yale boys of the
present have been suspected OF
spending more in a night on re-
freshment liquid and otherwise
than Evarts did in four years.
And that item, Shows, as cents"
What kind of shows did he at
tend in his four years that made
only a six-bit impression on the
Evarts purse? Dancing schools
balls and such things apparently
were more expensive in those days
than shows" What a shock Jere-
miah would have il he returned to
earth and was asked IS for a scat in
Broadway show and. in addition
had to pay a 5O-cent tax.
Many persons can study the
Evarts expense account with profit
One of the causes of the high cost
of living today is the seeming in
ability of many persons to disCrim-
mate between luNuries and neCes-
sites. Not a few women spend
more for one fur coat than this rich
young man did for all his needs. in
addition to school charges. in the
four years he was in the leading
college of America.
Reference was made here recently
to the fact that. while some South
ern"rS were Criticizing Northern
textile mills for their very high
profits. it would be found that there
was just as much Of this in the
South as in the North. Statements
which have been coming forth sup
port this view. and more. too.
The Tucapau Mills. of Spartan
burg. S. G. has declared a stock
of 500 per cent. Its shares
are quoted $3.50 bid.
The Easley Mills. of Easlcy. s. C,
has declared a stock dividend Of
preferred stock.
The Saxon Mills has declared a
100 per cent dividend and many
other mills have declared big stock
The financial condition of the
whole textile industry of the South
is declared to be "amazInCly pros
porous" With this statement comes
the report Of the American Cotton

Notes By a Washington Observer
Raids Made on Pigeon Lofts--Polk Leases His
House to Swiss Mnister-W -Washingtonians
Seeking "Pot of Gold"

Owners of homing pigeons who
nave been suffering within the past
Two weeks from depredations on
their lofts may trace the cause of
their misfortune to the recent tests
carried on by the War Department.
Iweive pigeons were released In
washington more than two weeks
ago with messages for Gen. Bullard
OF the Eastern Department. Two
OF the birds were late in reaching
Camp Alfred Vail. New Jersey, and
rewards for their return were Of
fered- Both eventually turned up
without outside aid, but messages
have been received from all over
the country announcing that the
pigeons had been found and claim
ing the reward. The War Depart
ment authorities believe that raids
on lofts in the hope of obtaining
the reward have become more or
less common.
The carly departure of Frank l..
Polk. undersecretary of State, from
the diplomatic service is indicated
by the fact that Marc Peter, min
lister from Switzerland, has taken
a lease on the Washington residence
which Mr.. Polk is occupying. 1t
has been known for some time that
Mr. Polk intended to quit the dip
lomatic service as soon as Balm

Polk intends to make his departure
very soon he has been unable to
fix definite date.
An interesting feature Of the
Bergdoll case Is the eagerness
which has been displayed toward the
search for the hidden pot Of gold -
Visitors to Hagerstown, Md, within
the past few days say that searchsrs
from all over the country have
come to the town to see II they could
not locate the spot where the Phila-
delphia Stacker left his treasure.
Several we'll equipped automobile
parties from Washington are
among those that have gone into
the hills behind the city on the
elusive trail.
The War Department has per
fected an armored airplane designed
for use against troops or land for
tifications. Tests held recently at
McCook Field. Dayton, Ohio, proved
that the machine was a great sue
cess. The armored craft is the La
,Pere trlplane. equipped with two
Liberty engines. Both engine and
fuselage are completely armored. 1t
carries eight machine guns and
thirty-seven cannon and performs
and handles very well in the air.
This plane is we'll equipped, the De-
partment says, for battle in the air
at high altitude. or for ground
straffing troops close to the earth.
