HOME BREW IS ILLEGAL.
Commissioner Haynes Explains What
 May and May Not Be Made


 Washington, Sept. 2O.-Warnina that the making of intoxicating nome brew is illegal was issued tonight bv Frohibition Commissioner Haynes.
 Numerous inquiries have been re. ceived recently, he said, concerning the home manufacture of fruit juices growing out of reports that a head of a household was entitled to make two hundred gallons of wine year under permit The prohibition units attitude on the home brew question was defined by MT. Haynes as follows:
 iSon-intoxicating fruit juice can be made in the home. Intoxicating wine, nome brew and distilled spirits may not be made. Two hundred gallons or non-intoxicating fruit juice nav he manufactured, tax free, by the head Of a family registering with a col lector Of internal revenue.
 This tax exemption provision has been the source of confusion. The effect Of this is not to allow the manu- facture of two hundred gallons of in toxicating wine free from restrictions or the national prohibition act. but merely to allow the manufacture of two hundred gallons of non-intoxicat, ing fruit juices free of taxr

MRS. STOKES THE VICTOR.
Millionaire Hotel Man Loses in Sem
 sational Case.

New York, Sept. 20.-W E. D Stokes, millionaire hotel man, was refused divorce today from Heller Ewood Stokes.
 The court, however, granted Mrs Stokes an interlocutory decree on her counter complaint.
 The question of alimony was no; settled in the decision handed down by Justice Finch.
 Stokes divorce action has been un- der consideration in the supreme court since the taking of testimony was fin- ished, several months ago. The case was one of the most sensational in the history of New York courts, which have been the scene of many world famous divorce suits.
 Stokes, owner of several big hotels, demanded divorce, naming a number of correspondents. He produced wit nesses to swear that Mrs. Stokes had been familiar with a number of men.
 The wife in her defense declard that Stokes charges were "frame-up'' and on her part, alleged that the mill liohaire was unduly familiar with many women.
 Judge Finch's decision covered fif- teen closely typewriter pages, and was an exhaustive review of all the evidence introduced by both sides.
 Mrs. Stokes was permitted to retain custody of the children of whom. she has had charge as the result of a de- cision of the Denver probate court.

Further Attempt to Reduce Services
 Expected in Congress.

Washington, Sept. 17.-While the international conference on limitation of armament is meeting in Washing ton, Congress will stage fight of it's own to further reduce Americas ar mament regardless of the decisions of the conference.
 Plans are already laid to wage a spirited campaign in both the Senate and House to cuftail the size of the army and navy, cutting far beneath even the minimum fixed for the pres ent fiscal year.
 Fear is felt that the prospective de- bate and the probability of action by , Congress while the conference is in progress might seriously embarrass the American delegates and handicap them in their negotiations with the representatives or the other great powers. On the other hand, disarma- ment advocates contend that further curtailment of American armament would not interfere with the proceed ings in the international conference, but would furnish an example of dis interestedness and assist in accomp- fishing the primary object of the con- ference, namely the limitation of ar mampnt

ANYHOW GERMANY
 WASHELPEDAHEAP
Her Sympathizers in United States Bought Bales of Her Money and Now Seem to Have Lost Millions
 in the Deal.

New York, Sept. 17-The collapse of the German mark to point below cent, for the first time in financial history, has caused loss of millions of dollars to American investors and speculators in the mark, as well other continental exchange.
 The exact amount of this loss is diff ficult to even approximate for marks have been sold in this country, as well as in all other countries, in every con- ceivable manner, and thru hundreds of varied channels.
 One Puts Loss at 100 Million.
 The guess of one banker is that no less than 100 million dollars worth of marks have been disposed of in the United States since the armistice, and that the average price paid for these marks was approximately 21a cents. On that basis, and at the present quo- tation, approximately so cents of ev- cry American dollar put into German marks has been lost. Another banker cuts the estimation in half, and says that irrespective of the professional sales by bankers incident to repara- tions settlement, about 50 million dol lars has been invested here in German exchange.
 It was not until midsummer, after the armistice was signed, that quota tions in the German mark were re- sumed. They started at "A to 8 cents per mark. In the meanwhile many bales of the German currency appeared in the United States and were sold surreptitiousiy to those known of German sympathy.
 Sold It in Stores.
 New York appeared to be the cen ter of this distribution. Small stores recently sprang up on prominent cor ners where the paper currency of Ger many was sold to the extent of thous- ands of marks. Foreign exchange" stores began dotting the country as well as the cities. At one time no less than six were running, day and night, countries could be purchased, too. Peddlers also hawked the paper marks about the streets, selling from mark up. One enterprising distribu- tor sent large crew of canvassers to call from door to door. Even the part payment system was adopted. Com pared to the transactions handled tn 1 banks, it was but a small part of tla total, but it put thousands of good American dollars into Germany's till and no doubt aided the country in amassing the first separations pay ment of 100 million gold marks, re- gently discharged.
 Believe in German Comeback"
 The appeal of the traffic in German currency was directed at those fam iliar with Germany and her industrial financial efficiency in pre-war days With the mark selling at 5, 4, 3, or 2 cents, the point was made that the German government would soon be or it's feet, and that her financiers would 1 quickly bring the mark back to 23.s cents, its prewar worth. The bait was attractive.

SOME STRANGE WAGE IDEAS.
Applicants Want Printer at S10 Week,

Special to The Star.

oDeCAAl to ne ntars
 Little Rock, Sept. 20.-Some pecu- liar cases are brought to the attention of the State Labor Commissioners. There is a notable decrease in the number of applications for employ ment, which is taken to be favorable indication. There is a marked decline in wages and salaries all along the line, some however, are ridiculously low. For instance the commissioner received an inquiry yesterday from a printer, offering $10 a week for a linotype operator with experience;F it was stated that good board could be secured in the community at S8.50 per week. Another correspondent asked for the services of a man and wife on farm, the man to do general farm work and the woman to keep house and do the washing. For this service the couple would receive $25 a month, and no extra charge for board. These two applications will not be fulfilled
