HOME MANUFACTURE

TIE new Stanley amendment as
agreed to in conference seems to pro-
vide that in liquor proceedings no
search warrant against a dwelling
shall be issued "unless there is reason
to believe such dwelling is used as a
place in which liquor is manufactured
for sale or sold"
The new regulation is stated mega
lively there is no express AUTHORIZE
tion of domestic manufacture, but IL
does not strain Interpretation to see
in this provision recognition OF a nght
to produce and consume at home bev-
erages with more than one-half OF 1
per cent of alcohol.
Under this regulation foundation
seems laid for revival OF the once
widely practiced domestic art. NO
one need suffer from lack of potable
Iiquor who has energy enough to as
semble a few easily obtained lngredi-
entS and the patience TO wait as ma
ture gets to work.
Mr.. Volstead, who voted for the pro-
vision, SAYS it was never intended to
interfere with home manufacture. Per-
haps he is right. Wayne b. Wheeler,
general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League, a gentleman who seems a
sort of Supreme Court to determine
what is the law, recently encouraged
the grape growers of Ohio to make
wine as they pleased provided they
did not sell. The reason for this toler-
ance, it would seem, is the number of
home brewers and the difficulty in sub
DUNG them.
Is national prohibition in the end to
be merely prohibition of the saloon
and it's adjuncts? To the strict tee
totaler this, of course, would not be
an ideal result, but it would have
many practical advantages. The pub
lies attitude toward the bootlegger
probably would quickly change-with
acute pressure off and John Barley
corn bubbling in private cellars the
'bootlegger would find jurieS less
friendly and would be more vigorous
ly attacked as a vender of poison.
Perhaps the elimination of the saloon
is about all the prohibition achieve
ment of which a single generation is
capable. Many prohibitionists will be
angered at what they deem is an I'M
speakable betrayal, but those who look
at matters with an eye to definite re-
suits will not Der certain that prohibit
tion has lost anything.

Use Camera in Telephone Accounting


A new method of photographing rec
ords in the Accounting Department of
the N. Y. Tel Co. makes a great hit,
says The Telephone Review, N. Y. An
unusual camera has been brought into
service for a most ingenious scheme
Of obtaining message register readings.
The Market Central Office is at the
present time the best equipped for this
Photographic feature. Under the SUI
pervision of N. D. Pease, chief toll
supervisor, New Jersey, the camera
has been put into practical use and
every month neat Photographic rec
ords are available for billing purposes.
Pictures are taken in the Cortlandt
and Stage Central Offices, N. Y. c.,
also. Eventually, every Office equipped
with registers will use this method.
1t is by just such innovations that
the Telephone Company is making
leaps and bounds ahead in the game
of business efficiency. ----------

A large number of interested citizens
were present at the meeting of the
local Board of Education at the high
school on Thursday evening, last week.
OF the committee heads asked to
make reports Mr. Fox of the building
and ground committee had a report.
He stated that Otto Hansen was now
working in school No. and Menshing

he had contracted for. Practically all
plumbing had been finished and the
auditorium seats in the high school are
| to be finished in a week

dent Goemann. He reported having

pointed as school medical inspector.
Auditor Heatan'S report was on hand
and several members glanced over it.
Councilman Post asked several ques.
lions of several members but nothing
could be made clear. During a dis
cussion, the blame of the mix up was
laid on the shoulders of the custodian
of funds.
Mr. Velsey tried to clear up a
mystery of a $1,000 note that seems to
have wandered here, there, and every
where 1t was started on it's journey
one evening when only one member
of the finance committee was present
at meeting of that committee two
years ago.
a motion was then passed to give
the audit to the finance committee for
them to report at a special meeting
this week.
Mrs Korsinek spoke of the under
nnnri she'd children r1nSpd nv the
short lunch time allowed the pupils of
the high school.

reviewing the situation. By vote of

medical Inspector of the schools. Sc
cret ballot was used.
| Mr.. Hall again gave the dates of the
schools openings, September for the
teachers to report at three o'clock and

dents He also reported that the edu-
cational committee of the WOmen's

Streets With Duplicate Names.

London's duplication of its street
names is notorious. A casual glance
at the directory reveals no fewer than
ten Charles streets and half dozen
Charlottes. Park street also appears
half a dozen times, and Hill street
only one less. Even our best known
thoroughfares have their duplicates,
for you will find an Oxford street in
Whitechapel and Regent street in
Standardization Chronicle.
