REFUSE TO COMMENT ON
HOMEMADE WINE RULING
TBy Evening News Correspondent

lBy Evening NEWS correspondent
TRENTON, Aug. 16:-Counsel for
the Anti-Saloon League, G.. Rowland
Munroe, today refused to comment
on the latest ruling of Prohibition
Director Browne that householders
may make 200 gallons of wine a year
for home use.
Mr.. Munroe said he was unfami-
liar with the section of the federal
regulations under which Director
Brownies order was issued. The
A~nti-Saloon League counsel assert
ed that before expressing an opinion
as to the privilege of making home
brew, he would prefer to compare
the dry directors ruling with the
State Enforcement Act.
Munroe added that the Elliot law
regulating permits for the manufac-
ture and sale of medicinal beverages
has been modelled after the federal
legislation on the same subject.
In ruling that it is permissible for
anyone to make 200 gallons of wine
a year., provided it is for personal
use, Browne stated that part of the
law permitting such wine making is
still in effect and is not affected by
the new dry laws. The only condi-
ton is that a person must first get
a permit for the making of the wine.
Those who do not obtain such a per-
nit are liable to arrest under the
law.

Dalton and Clarence H. Rex, both
of this city today instituted a suit
in the supreme court for $4,000
damages against Firman r. Will

bezzlement in connection with the
purchase by the Mercer Omnibus
Company of automobile buses for

vile. Charges against Dalton and
Rex were thrown out by the May
term of the grand jury, it Is alleged.
Complaints filed against William
son by Dalton and Rex charge that
the bank president caused them to
be falsely arrested and m~aliciously
prosecuted. This action by Will
hanson was the result of a conspir-
acy, according to the men, who
claim that they will make revela-
tions involving prominent men OF
Trenton when the case comes to
trial.

PLANE INDUSTRY
IN BAD WAY
Successful Commercial Sys-
tenn is Necessary for Ma
tiOnaI Defense

WASHINGTON-The airplane in
dustry of the United States is in a
bad way.
Developments of commercial
aviation is a standstill.
Appropriations for army and navy
aircraft have been held down, un-
der the administrations program OF
economy and retrenchment to less
than 100000 for the year.
The result is that there are not
enough orders to go around and the
small organizations of skilled air.
plane mechanics that had been built
up are going to pieces.
This situation will impede the up
building of an adequate air force
for our. national defense.
For before such an air force can
be maintained even on a peace time
footing, there must be a going air.
plane industry back of it.
Administration Stumped
How to maintain such an indus
try, however in the face of the pres
ent slump in commercial aviation
demands and the restricted appro-
priations by congress, is a question
that has the administration stump
ed.
Experts agree that its solution
must depend on the ability of an
airplane to make its living" in
times of peace.
Present transportation and COM
m~unication demands, however,
promise no Immediately profitable
field for airplanes.

corps and post Office department.
Through this means it is believed,
it may be possible to hold together
a sufficient number of trained aero
mechanics to maintain q few plants
on a basis of reasonable production.
Such an organization, however,
does not put us, for war purposes,
much ahead of where we were in
1917.
Planes Made by Hand
On present schedules, no plant is
geared up for quantity production.
The work is altogether hand-work
On orders of from 10 to rs planes
at a time nc plants can afford to tool
up with the jigs, dies and equipment
for automatic tool production, which
is essential to quantity manufac-
ture.
Handwork necessarily, means
greatly increased cost per plane.
Lacking a commercial airplane In
dustry as a support for u aerial
1efense, we would be hampered
rom the outset in any emergency
hat might come.
Even if our aviation forces were

SCOUT s
Conducted by National Council OF th'
Boy Scouts OF Amerlca.)
DRIVE FOR REPRESENTATION

The fact that. large number OF
scout troops fail annually TO re-register
and consequently have to be stricken
from the national records Is causing
the national council so much concern
that they are endeayoring to investi-
gate each case of q dead or lapsed
troop 10 see what ended its dormant
condition and what, II anything, can
be done to revive IL AID put II in good
working order again
In many casex The trouble has been
traced to the lack of proper leadership,
OF laxness in handling troop business
on The part Of those In charge. This
Is, of course, n serious Injustice to the
boys themselves, who are usually not
only willing but anxious to carry on"
Scout leaders everywhere are being re-
minded that unless a troop Is regularly
registered at the national council head
quarters Ii cannot be included In the
boy scout membership nor so reported
to congress- This means even more
to the boy according to act of con-
gress: No unregistered scout Is emit |
tied to wear the scout uniform and in |
signia.
The chief scout executive has this
20 say on the subject:
1.-The fundamental detectives OF
scouting are character development and
citizenship training Good citizenship
means law and order That is. not
only knowledge of laws, but observ-
ance of laws. rules and regulations.
Surely every scout leader wants to
have members of his troop lawful and
orderly in the matter of membership
In the Boy Scouts Of America.
"Only scouts and scout officials who
are duly registered in accordance with
the regulations of the Boy Scouts Of
adopted pursuant to federal
charter granted by congress, can law
fully represent themselves as scouts
to wear the uniform and
official insignia
Scouts whose membership Is al
owed to lapse violate the regulations
md therefore are not lawful and or |
lerly.
This is an Important matter. Act
1t is to be hoped that every person
in scouting will concern him
elf with the question involved and see
it that no scout troop is allowed to
apse for want Of adult leadership and
ction in behalf of the boy and COM
lunlty who both need scouting.
