PRIZE WINNERS
IN BIC CONTEST
To BE ANNOUNCED

Promptly at 8 o'clock last night the
big craftsmanship campaign which
has been conducted by the News dur
ing the last five weeks, came to a
close. The judges, J. H. Haughton,
c. E. O'Connor and J. C. McCrocklin.
were present when the last return
was made and the polls closed. I'm
mediately thereafter the records were
turned over to the judges, who are
now engaged in auditing the returns
for the purpose of announcing the
prize winners. This announcement,
with the total vote of each contestant
will be published in the News tomor-
row afternoon.
The contest was conducted exactly
as outlined five weeks ago. There
was no deviation from the rules pub
llshed at that time. Every candidate
was on the same footing, and while
the returns in dollars and cents to
the News was hardly sufficient to pay
for the prizes the publishers are en-
tirely satisfied, for it gives to the
News power which is worth more
than dollars and cents circulation.
While the relative standing Of the
contestants has changed but little
since the standings were published
two weeks ago, all added much to
their total of ballots before the wind
up, and yesterday was the busiest
period they have had.

BEER WITH KICK
To De AVAILABLE
ON PRESCRIPTION
By James T. Kolbert.
tied Press STAFF Correspondent


Washington, March 24-Real pre-
prohibition beer with a kick is being
held to the lips of the Ealing citizen"
but it may prove herculean task to
tilt the bottle.
Principal provisions of the regula-
lions carrying into effect the ruling
of Attorney General Palmer that
manufacture and sale of beer as med
icine is not illegal, were learned by
the United Press today They are in
brief:
That a doctor may prescribe four
and seven eighths gallons of beer for
each ailing patient every thirty days.
That a doctor must find good and
sufficient reasons for prescribing
beer; that he must not prescribe the
maximum oftener than every thirty
days, but he is not limited as to the
number of patients for whom he may
prescribe.
That manufacture of real beer can
not be carried on in the same plants
used for manufacture of near beer
the kind containing less than one
half of one percent of alcohol.
Get 1t Through Druggists
That breweries may sell only to
wholesale druggists, who in turn sell
to retail druggists who must have
permits to deal in real beer.
Even these technical restrictions
are not all that is preventing the tip
ping of the bottle. There is a polit-
ical difficulty incident to the recent
change in administration.
The regulations as outlined were
drawn under the direction of Internal
Revenue Commissioner William M. |
Williams, Democratic appointee. |
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon |
must approve them and it is said he
is reluctant to do so, until they are
reviewed by Republican internal
revenue commissioner. President
has let it be known he will
not hurry about appointing COM
missioner.
The new commissioner, when he
takes office, may approve the present
tentative regulations or he may order
new ones drawn up. In either case
the operation may take some time and
then Melons approval must be Sc
cured. All this probably will take
month or more.
Expensive to Breweries.
There are about 100 breweries now
n operation, according to Wayne B.
general counsel for the Anti ;
Saloon League. Wheeler declared ,
hat few of these would engage in
he manufacture of real beer because
he cumbersome regulations, heavy
axes they will have to pay and the
United field in which they can oper-
tie, will make brewering improbable
Even under the Palmer ruling,
Wheeler said, beer can be sold in only
en- states--Maine, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, Ohio, New
FORK, California, New Jersey, Penn {
ylvania and Louisiana. Other states
ave state prohibition laws which
orbid beer manufacture and beer
annot be transported into these
tates.
Despite Wheeler's predictions, nu- T
lerous breweries have made inqui-
y concerning the new regulations
nd have indicated their intention to
lake medicine" as soon as they are 7
iven the word by issuance of the =
ew regulations.

The Hopi Indian villages. located
about eighty miles north OF the Santa
Fe railroad, in eastern Arizona, and
which during most Of the year are left
in almost absolute secIusion, are now
commencing TO show more life as the
time is drawing near for the annual
snake dance
The time for this event is not def
nitely known as it is decided by the
Snake Priests from the position Of the
moon and stars, but it is expected to
take place the latter part of this
month commencing about August 20.
The snake dance is a nine days
ceremony which annually attracts
many tourists and scientists and is
full OF unique and weird ceremonisls.
The meaning of the ceremony-ali
Indian dances and ceremonials being
religious rites-is that the Hopi IN
dian is praying to his God for rain
for his garden and farm
Snake Hunt Comes First.
The first four days are taken up
largely by snake expeditions, the snake
priests going in each of the four di-
rections in search of snakes. Every
kind of snake found is captured re-
gard1ess of their specie or fighting
ability. The men scatter, looking for
snake tracks in the soft sand, and
beating the sage brush here and there
to arouse some sleeping reptile. When
a snake is discovered. tho it may be a
