HOME BREW NOW UNDER
THE PROHIBITION BAN

Prohibition enforcement by the gov
ernment took a new turn when Com
missioner Roy A. Haynes began what
the Prohibition Bureau promises to be
a nationwide drive to halt the man
ufacture of home brew. Heretofore the
bureau has centered its attention on
bootlegging, smuggling, illegal with
drawals and illicit transportation OF
liquor. Now, it says, the home brew
which former Commissioner Kramer
considered a mere trivality in enforce
ment of the law, must go.
Home brewing will be struck at
through stopping the sale of all brew
ing devices and closing up hardware
stores selling them, it was stated at
the bureau. The first move came when
under the direction of Mr.. Haynes
several Washington concerns charg-
ed with the sale of apparatus, uten-
sils, and ingredients and manufactur-
ing intoxicants, were raided. A supply
of malt, hops, fruit sugars and bott-
ling appliances were seized.
