HOMEMADE CIDER
MAY HAVE ITS KICK
Is the Attorney Generals Opinion
Not Unlawful to Have 1t in the
Home, He Says.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Use of CT
der in the home by its manufacturer,
even after it has become Intoxicating
by fermentation, is lawful and without
the bounds of the prohibition enforce
ment act, according to an opinion sub
mitted to the secretary of the treasury
by the attorney general made public
a few days ago.
The opinion is in direct conflict with
the regulations of the bureau of inter-
NAL revenue, which state that home
made cider must be notwithstanding
in fact" although not necessarily con-
tanning less than one-half of one per
cent. of alcohol
Secretary Houston asked for an
opinion as to whether the term mon
Intoxicating cider and fruit juices"
means less than one-half of one per
cent of alcohol. The phrase occurs in
section % of the prohibition act which
permits the manufacture of non-intox-
icating cider for use in the home with
out permit.
In his opinion the attorney general
held that the2 expression meant con-
tanning less than one-half of one per
cent.
Congress intended by section % to
prohibit the sale but not the manufac-
ture of Intoxicating cider for use in
the home, the opinion said.

The following editorial from a cur.
rent issue of Editor and Publisher
will be interesting to all newspaper
men and probably to their readers:
The newsprint bill of the American
press for the calendar year 1921 will
be considerably over $500, 600, 900, pro-
vided the contract prices announced
by five big companies, as effective TOT
the first quarter, rule firm for the en-
tire year.
The $300000,000 should be compar-
ed with a paper bill in 1920 of approx
imately $226,000,000.
Roughly, the increased cost in 1921
for newsprint alone that American
newspaper publishers now face is $751;
100000 This vast sum must be wrung
from the very life blood of the newspa-
per business-and in turn advertisers,
and finally the public in general.
These figures are naturally conserva-
tive, because they are based upon a
total production of $4,000 tons in
1920 and an estimated production OF
100000 tons for 1921, under an aver
age selling price of the FIVE largest
manufacturers, and no account is taken
Of the spot market prices under which
percentage of the tonnage of 1920
was sold.
Such prices can not be viewed in
the light of anything but extortion.
There is no sound economical reason
for such increases and it remains to
be seen whether publishers will meek
ly submit to such treatment. 1t may
be safely said that newsprint can be
manufactured with handsome profit
at cents a pound or $500 ton. Pub
fishers would gladly pay such a price,
but they simply can not continue in
definitely to pay $3.50 per ton. Indeed,
there is already evidence that the Mead
customers will not pay $40 ton, the
price demanded, and which in the case
of the Detroit News means an indeease

LEOPARD REARS CHILD
IN JUNGLES OF AFRICA
BEAST STOLE BOY FROM HIS
MOTHER AND KEPT HIM 3
YEARS. A WILD" BOY.

The story of a leopard child, the We
racitv of which is vouched for by E. c.
Stuart Baker, member of the Zoolog-
;cal Society of Great Britain, has ere
ated great interest among scientists
throughout the world. According to an
investigation by Mr. Baker, he discov-
cred small boy living in village IN
the North Cachar hills, in India, who
had been stolen by leopard and kept
in the iungles for three long years.
Mr.. Baker said he was in that part OF
India some months ago when he was
met with protests on the part of GER
tain native, who objected to furnishing
his share of forced labor" form of
taxation still used in isolated parts OF
India. When Mr.. Baker questioned
the native the reply was given that
he had little wild" son to look after.
Story of the wild" Boy.
The Briton accordingly went into
the hut, where he saw a small boy
about seven years old squatting on the
ground like an animal. AS soon as
Mr.. Baker came near him he put his
head in the air, shifted about and then
ran on all tours to his father The boy
was almost blind The boys father
then narrated this story, which Mr..
Baker believes to be true.
About five years ago the villagers
found two leopard cubs close to the
little community. The cubs were kill
ed. The mother leopard had tracked
the sayers back to the village and had
haunted the outskirts for several days.
The third day woman cutting rice
laid her infant boy on a cloth while
she went on with her work. Hearing a
cry, she turned and saw leopard
bounding away and carrying the child
with it, The whole village turned out
and hunted for the leopard and the
boy, but without success.
About three years later leopardess
was killed close to the village by a
sportsman, who brought news to the
natives that the leopard had cubs that
he had failed to secure. The whole
village turned out and eventually cap
tured the cubs and one child. He was
at once identified by his parents.
When brought before Mr.. Baker the
boy had been more or less tanned He
walked upright except when startled
into extra rapid action, was friendly
with his own villagers, whom he seem
ed to know by scent, would eat rice
and vegetables and consented to sleep
in his fathers hut at night. His blind
ness was not in any way due to his
treatment by the leopard When
caught the child was in perfect con-
dition and with quite an exceptional
development of muscle.

GHOSTS OF SALEM
FISHERMEN RECALLED
BURIAL OF JOHN WINTERS
REVIVES STORY OF SCHOON-
Err AND PHANTOM CREW.

GLOUCESTER, Mass.-The bur-
ial today of John Winters recalled to
old time fishermen a tradition of a
modern flying dutchman" and its
ghostly crew that were believed to
roam the seas in pursuit of a ship that
had sent them to the bottom.
Winters was the last survivor of
the crew of the Gloucester schooner
Charles Haskell, which in a storm in
March, 1869, ran down and sank a
Salem schooner and its entire crew on
Georges fishing banks. He died at the
Fishermen's Snug harbor in his eigh-
ty-second year, repeating almost to
the last the tale of the ghost ship of
the fishing banks which was suppos-
ed to have pursued the Haskell
throughout its career
Once off Eastern point, at the en-
| trance of Gloucester harbor, Winters
said, a schooner ran down the wind,
drove alongside the Haskell and her
phantom crew climbed the rigging,
declaring themselves the ghosts OF the
| Salem fishermen.
Winters and others of the Haskell's
and new crew was taken on. These
returned with a similar story OF
ghostly visitation at sea, took their
dunnage bags and quit.
Another and still fourth crew
were shipped, but each came to port
with a renewal OF the story of a ship
shrouded in white and a spectral crew
and the Haskell was hauled up, I'M
able to get men. She finished her sea-
going as a sand freighter, and the Sa-
lem ship was not heard of again.

Lured by the promise of mutual
help in solving the problems of the
newspaper publishing worl d, the
American publisher has met the news
print manufacturer more than hall
way in an effort to cooperate during
the last year.
The American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association has gone so far as to
have its representatives meet with
manufacturers representatives and the
representatives of other interests that
have had a part in depicting Ameri-
can forests to cooperate in drawing
legislation and formulating national
policy on forestry, which plays an i'm
portant part in newsprint production
The newsprint manufacturer has
been welcomed at gatherings of news
paper publishers everywhere, and the
hand of fellowship has been extended
to him.
Publishers have gone on record pub
licly in favor of price for newsprint
that would insure profit to the man.
ufacturer and would encourage expan-
sion of the industry on broader lines
than ever before attempted.
With all other prices declining, many
publishers will have difficulty in hold
ing to the new levels reached on adj
vertising and subscription rates during
the general prosperity of 1920. To a
majority further increases are impossi-
Bile.
Instead of giving their promised CO.
operation newsprint manufacturers
have announced that they want for
the coming year, on top of the most
prosperous year in their history, $751;
100000 additional.
Newsprint manufacturers have had
their chance to cooperate, but when
the confidence of publishers had been
won they reached forth to crush it
for golden orgy not equaled since
the days of frenzied finance.
The day of cooperation has passed
The newspaper publishing business
must now organize to fight to free it
self from the selfish interests that are
attempting to strangle it again. This
old menace that is back with us under
the cloak of friendship must be thrown
off if the newspaper profession is to
be kept free to serve the public inter-
ests as in day gone by, and the bus
mess is to live in the security that it
deserves.

DEATH DEFYING LADS
LEAD DANGEROUS LIVES
PILOTS ON UNCLE SANS AIR
MAIL LINES ADVENTUROUS
LOT. WEAR PAJAMAS.

An exciting, death-defying existence
that is attracting many American
youths, who have been unable to sat
isfy their thirst for adventure since
the world war came to a close, is that
of pilot i'll the aeroplane mail service
of Uncle Sam.
Already this service has taken its
toll of lives, but the postoffice depart
other airmen to take the places OF
those who were crushed to death in
falls from dizzy heights.
One of these narrowing experiences
was had by three pilots recently.
There was a dense fog OVERLAPPING the
town OF Bellefonte, Pa, which is a
scheduled stop in the flights between
New York and Chicago. Three mail
planes were due to arrive at about the
same hour The field was not con-
nected with the planes by wireless.
Smoked Cigarettes While Circling.
The superintendent first heard the
buzz OF single motor overhead, as
the aeroplane circled the field again
and again in the fog, unable to land
Soon there was the buzz OF another

third had joined the chorus. After
more than two hours the superintend-
ent received a report that one aero
plane had landed eight miles away.
Another landed five miles distant in
another direction, the third came to
earth on the landing field when the
fog thinned a bit.
The cockpit of the machine that had
landed on the field contained the butts
of SO cigarettes that the pilot had
smoked while circling the field in the
dense fog.
Mended Wing in Mid-Air.
A pilot upon another occasion ran
into the teeth of a sleet and hail
storm. The sleet tore the fabric of the
wings and damaged one to such extent
that the aviator had to crawl out and
do bit of mending with his leath belt
while the machine dropped through
space.
During the past summer when it
was extremely hot the flyers travelling
from New York city disrobed before
starting and put on their pajamas.
Thereupon they went to bed in the
machines, so to speak, and few in
comfort through to Chicago, where
they dressed for the street once more
and appeared the ordinary citizens.
