CIDER? DRINK 'ER DOWN
It's All Right, Even If Hard" At
torney General Rules.

W Washington, Dec. I8-Use OF cider
in the home by its manufactures, ever
after, it has become Intoxicating b,
ferme entation, is lawful and without
the bounds of the prohibition en-
tcrcement act, according to an opi,l.
ion submitted to the secretary of the
treasury by Attorney General Paine,
made public today.
The opinion is in direct conflict
with the regulations Of the bureau oi
internal revenue, which state that
home made cider must be "non-intox-
eating in fact" although not neces.
sarily containing less than one-hali
-of per cent of alcohol.
Secretary Houston asked for an
opinion as to whether the term mon
intoxicating cider. and fruit juices
means non-intoxicating in fact OF
containing less than one-half of l per
cent Of alcohol. The phrase occurs
in section 2o of the prohibition act,
which permits the manufacture of
notwithstanding cider for use i'll the
home without permit.
In answer, the attorney general
held that the expression meant con-
tanning less than one-half of per
cent, but added
I'm view. however, OF what l un-
derstand section 20 to mean, | am
sure it would be misleading for me
to content myself with this direct an
swcr to your question
Congress intended by section 2o to
prohibit the sale, but not the manu-
facture OF Intoxicating cider for use
in the home, the opinion said.

BILL TO BE INTRODUCED. TO
REAPPORTION HOUSE
Plan to Increase Membership From
AS to 4S3 to Correspond with
Increase in Population Un-
der Io3o Census.

Observation-Disclosures Ire.
publican members of the House at a
caucus tonight decided to put through
at this session of Congress bill re-
apportioning the membership of the
House to correspond with increases
in population as reported in the 1890
census.
The definite basis for the reappor
tionment was understood not to have
been decided on at the. caucus, but
most of the Republican members were
said to favor a reasonable increase il,
the House membership.
Drafting of a reappprtionment bill
would be in the hands of the Census
Committee, of which Representative
Siegel of New York is chairman.
Siegel already has prepared and in
troduced bill increasing the House
membership from the present ass to
483, and this bill is expected to be
the basis for the reapportionment
legislation.
The Siegel bill would make the
population basis for congressional
district between 218,ooo and 2Io,ooo
instead of approximately 2II,ooo as at
present. Under the measure no state
would sustain loss in its representa-
ton in the House and twenty-five
states would gain >in representation.
Decision to push through a reap
portionment bill at this session was
understood to have been due to the
fact that number of the State Legis-
latures will meet soon after January
I, while if the bill went over to the
extra session it would be passed too
late for many Legislatures to act up
on until their meetings two years
hence. The State Legislatures de-
fine the limits of the congressional
districts. the power of Congress be-
ing limited to determining the num-
ter of Representatives state shall
have.

HIGH TARIFF AGAINST IMPoR-
TATIONS PLANNED TO-
RELIEVE FARMERS
Emergency Measure to Rum for One
Year and to Act d Embargo.

Washington, December 17.-Con
gressional leaders decided today thal
the only way out of the maze o1
farmer relief bills was enactment ol
an emergency tariff to run for one
year and to act as an embargo agains,
importations. 1t would apply tc
wheat, cotton, wool, beans, potatoes
live stock and meats.
Agreement. of the Legislative lead
ers was reached at q joint conference
Of members of the Senate Finance
and House Ways and Means Com
y 1nittees, at which determination also
was reached to press the proposed
measure to speedy passage. Actual
drafting of the bill was started late
in the day by members of the Ways
and Means Committee.
Much discussion was evoked in the
conference relative to a choice be-
tween flat embargo and high. tar
iff, but the House leaders held out
against the employment of a ban on
importations in peacetime, urging
that the age-old custom of no en-
bargoes except in time of war be fol.
lowed. Senate members of the con-
ference declared that an embargo
measure could be put through their
branch of Congress more easily than
high tariff bill, but they finally as
sured the House conferees that they
would use all of their influene to push
the measure through as soon as it was
received from the House.
The subjects of the rates to be e1n-
bodied in the tariff measure was not
directly discussed. Members of the
House committee which will draft the
bill were informed that the rates
would be left entirely to them. Ex-
planation was made that the reason
the conference attempted no decision
on rates was that such discussion
might have resulted in breach and
the destruction of the whole program.
Suggestion was understood to have
been made by Demoratic members of
the conference that they seek an ex-
preston of views of the President
with respect to the relief tariff. Re-
rublicans, however, strongly opposed
such a move, the contention being
made that it would not be Known
whether the bill could be passed unail
the final roll call, and further, that
the measure might not go to the Pres
ident in the form now proposed

FOWLS OPEN DOOR or HOUSE
fitting Platform Arranged So That
Hens May Libsrste Themselves
BY Stepping on It

The following Is one Of the simplest
methods of enabling hens TO open the
henhouse door in the morning, there
by relieving their owner of the neces-
sity Of rising at daybreak TO let them
out. The door of the henhouse is
hinged al the top, so that II opens out
ward, and the lower edge catches
against the floor, so that II cannot
swing inward. Near the lower edge
on the outside cord is attached,
which passes upward over two small
pulleys hanging from beam. The
other end of the cord supports tin
can weighted with stones, so as to be
just heavy enough to pull the door
open and keep II so. On the floor of
the henhouse, right In front Of the
door, is hlting platform, With hook
in the front edge, which fits an eye
screwed Into the door. The door can
therefore be locked at night by catch
ing the hook in the eye, and the pull
of the cord against the door on the
outside has the effect of making the
hook hold securely. When the own
err has locked the door In the evening,
after the hens have gone to root, he
sprinkles few grains of feed on the
outward emf Of the fitting platform,
which is now in horizontal position,
and leaves the henhouse by the large
door, which he locks behind him. On
the following morning, the first hen
which jumps upon the platform to
pick at the feed tiis the platform,
releasing the hook from the eye; and
the weighted can on the outside pulls
