MUCH MEDICINE
ONLY BEVRAGE
Speakers Tell Of Change With Pro-
hibition- Meeting of The
Drug Men.

Washington, March 22-Prohlbl-
ton has brought in its wake hun
dreds of mushroom business estab-
lishment engaged solely in making
booze beverages, speakers declared
here today at meeting of pharma-
ceutical manufacturers and manufac-
turing chemists. The conference was
discussing the prohibition law and
regulations as they affect the manu-
facture of medicines containing al
cohol..
Speakers also charged that the &C.
tivities of manufacturers who catered
to the beverage medicine trade had
compelled prohibition enforcement
officials to brand all pharmaceutical
manufacturers as potent criminals" ."
Several expressed the belief that an
injustice had been done to them, and
in order to talk it over with Com
missioner Kramer, the conference in.
vited him to attend tomorrow's ses'
sion that he might learn their ideas
and plans.
There was some criticism of the
Volstead act, but it did not 60 far.
The position of manufacturers az
stated by their chairman, W. ]. Wood
ruff of Detroit, was that they de,
sired only to have an understanding
with the prohibition officers. They
want to work unhampered and they
want the prohibition Office to fee
that they can be trusted to obey the
law, Mr.. Woodruff said. He added
that resentment exists because the
gether under the same regulations
good and bad had been classed to.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, former chief
chemist, one of the speakers told the
manufacturers that their troubles
were all founded on the "person with
thirst and that their future ser
vice to their trade should be govern
ed by that knowledge.

STATUS OF CAMPS
NOT DISTURBED NOW

Washington, March 22-Any state
lient regarding disposition of the
various camps throughout the coun-
try, prior to the enactment Of the
army reorganization and appropria-
tion bills, would be premature, it is
announced today by Col. J. S. Hall of
the adjutant generals office.
This officer had been questioned
regarding the report which came to
Senator Dial from Columbia yester-
day that the war department plan
ned to abandon Camp Jackson or to
consolidate it with Camp Meade. As
to whether or not the department
had considered such action was not
divulged, but Colonel Hall made it
emphatic that nothing had been de-
termined and would not be until it
was conclusively shown what the ac-
ton of congress would be.
Senator Dial said today that he
had not heard the report of the pro-
posed consolidation until information
reached him from Columbia. He is
impressed with an idea that the war
department does consider the aban-
donment of certain camps, and he
will be on the alert lest danger Of
obliteration .confronts Camp Jack
son.

GERMANY UNABLE
 ID PAY INDEMNITY
Hamburg Chamber of Com merce Says Treaty Must
 Be Modified
By Associated Press

Hamburg, Germany, December 2S.- The efforts of Germany during 1921 to fulfin her peace obligations have failed, and 1t Is Idle to think that any political or economic efforts will now succeed unless these conditions are modified, declared the annual re- port of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce, issued today.
 Those who still believe the Lon don ultimatum can be carried out" says the report, either are without judgment or do not desire fulfillment, but the destruction of Germany. which in time would react on France, England and America"
 The report asserts a way out of the dilemma could be found by a very simple means, as follows:
 Revision of the treaty of Versailles and of the London agreements to a reasonable basis, making 1t possible for Germany to secure foreign cred it's; a conference of issuing banks of interested nations for the regula- tion of German exchange, and the res- tftution of the German colonies, or at least German mandate over these colonies.
 The report expresses slight faith iA the speedy return of world eco- ncmio normality and criticises the American policy toward shipping in general and toward German shipping in particular. The outlook for Amer ican merchant shipping is unfavor- able, says the report.

minutes to give the spectator a good, clear. complete vision of what tram spired at Jersey City, and 1t was stated the show would start on each hour. MT. Rudolph has adhered strictly to this rule.
 "No scenes have been cut out to speed up the picture and increase the number of shows. no orders have gone to the operating room to speed up the film. The fight pictures have been shown methodically. so that each patron may see every blow. This is one thing that deserves commen- dstion."
 The battle of the century" Is to be shown for the remainder of the week at the Rialto. each show start ing on the hour from 10 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock at night. And, as a special attraction for the holiday ce1ebrants, Promoter Rudolph has arranged for special New Years Eve party, starting at II o'clock Sat urday night and lasting until just a minute or so of 12. This will give the merry makers, who wish to see the old year out and bid the New Year greetings chance to spend a rec reational hour prior to the New Years celebration.

Playing square with the public Is one of the greatest advertisements a fellow can have. w. c. Rudolph, pro moter of the Dempsey Carpenter pictures, which have been showing to capacity crowds at the Rialto theatre all week, has played the game fairly and squarely with the people of Bir- mingham. He's a stranger here, but has acted with all the squareness of man who makes his livelihood out of the picture game here all the time.
 One man, well versed in the thea tre game, commented on this fact yesterday, and pointed out an exam

FOLL|ES OPEN AT JEFFERSON TONIGHT
Radiant Spectacle "The Greenwich Village FoIIies"
 An Artistic Revue

That radiant spectacle. built around the radical fancies of the fam tastic folks of Greenwich Village, the famous Latin quarter of New York, The Greenwich Village Fol- lies" will be seen at the Jefferson tonight in its opening engagement. The foliies will be at the Jefferson through Saturday night. with a mat inee Saturday afternoon.
 The follies Is one of the most ar tistic and colorful revues that has been seen here. Few of its prede- eessors can approach it in novelty of scenic investiture. in bizarre costum- ing. in beauty of lighting and stag ing, and in the striking beauty and shapeliness of the 20 famous artists models.
 The follies revolves about no one star. It numbers among Its players at least a dozen artists, any one of whom might be elevated to stardom in an ordinary musical concoction.
 Highlights of the follles are the inimitable singing and dancing com edians, the Hickey brothers, the broad travesty of Billy Bann. the .petticoat parodist," the waggish gossip of Ray Marr, the impish ma neuvers' of Mayme Gehrue. thu exotic dances of "Japonnette," the lsinging of Alice Humphries, Judy Carson and Robert Dilts. the rippling sRlves of jazz produced by the McDougal AL ley Syncopators, and the singing of the Bohemian quartet.
 The artistic high spots are the exquisite Cameo" and the colorful "Javanese" numbers. the first a sim pie picture in sheer satiny white and the last a resplendent tableaux blazing with vivid fabrics and gor- geous hues.

 HAMPDEN SCORES IN LIGHTER ROLE IN FRAMING THE SHREW'

As Petruchio, wooing the shrew- ish Katherine, Walter Hampden, em- inent Shakespearean actor, showed action that can best be described by word not used in the day of the immortal bard--it was pep" that was displaSed in "The Tanning of the Shrew" at the Jefferson last evening.
 The role required the depletion of many emotions, all of a light vein, and MT. Hampden showed an apti ., tude for the comedy roles as well as he did in heavier assignments, like Hamlet and Shylock-at early week performances.
 With modern characters and cos tuning, "The Tanning of the Shrew," by catch name. could fit as a peer. if not the perfection of modern com edies but it would lack that charm which comes with every one Of Shakespeares plays. and the histor- ical setting which gives a greater latitude for the romantic.
 Hampden's portrayal was that of physical and mental action and his stage personality overcame what ego might have been construed for the character if played by an actor of the swashbuckling type.
 The fact that every one of the large cast in this comedy played his or her part we'll tended to make the work of the star even more impress sive. Mary Hall as Katherine. the shrew, had difficult role. which was enacted to perfection. It required stage genius to portray it without affectation which she did
 Some of the most pleasing bits came from actors playing minor charac . terss but who were called upon 10 enact comedy that would have been branded as slapstick if played by the average Thespian.
 The performance concluded three days engagement at the Jefferson theatre.
