NEW RULING WILL SOFTEN NDRY' LAW
No Limit on Beer and Wine Allowed Patient on Doctors Prescription, and
 It's Up to NJ. D.'s Not to Abuse Privileges.

Washington, April 24.--New regu- lations governing manufacture and sale of beer and wines for medical purposes, have been drafted and are ready for approval by Internal Reve- nue Commissioner Blair when he takes office in few days, Prohibition Commissioner Kramer announced to- night.
 Chief among the provisions of the new draft to be submitted for ap- proval, are:
 1.-No limit is placed upon the amount of beer and wine consumed under prescriptions during given period.
 "A maximum limit must be estab- lished upon the amount of malt or vinous liquor prescribed at one time in an individual case.
 3.-The suggested limit of the amount which may be bought at drug stores upon single prescription is | tentatively fixed at three gallons of wine and four and seven-eighths gal Ions of beer.
 | vious policy of the prohibition bu- reau. Officials had sought to fix the amount of beer and wine to be used on doctors prescriptions in thirty days l period. This plan is abandoned as it does not conform to the opinion of Former Attorney General Palmer | Commissioner Kramer said tonight un- der this opinion and in the view of his legal advisers the government is \ without power now to place restric- tions upon doctors. They are to be left free as far as possible, Kramer said, to meet the needs of their pa. tients.
 Liberal Allowance. "The government, however, mus establish some definite line as to thu amount of liquors sold at one time under prescriptions, and the new reg ulations will fix a maximum of thu amount for an individual case, Kramer said ''It is impossible for ui to say what a patient needs or how long he will need it; this is for thu doctors to say. The Palmer opinior gives us a right to restrict the amount sold in an individual case to som, reasonable limit. But such ailment o. the amount prescribed at one tim, will be raised high enough to allow wide discretion by doctors, and thu limit will not in any sense interfere with the requirements of patients" May Change Again. Commissioner Kramer said the reg ulations drawn may be changed if ( different policy is decided upon by tn,
 new revenue commissioner. It wa. suggested, however, that any changes
 possible would further 'giberalize' thn t-,lnc

New Orleans, April 19.--lf means can Ae found to keep the American people working their purchasing pow CT will be improved, and i've will arcsently see the tides of prosperity cunning stronger" Comptroller of the Currency Crissinger said in an ad- dress here before the Louisiana Bank ers' Association.
 "Our own country" Mir. Crissinger said, sspresents to us the market in which we must always do most of our business and on which we shall de- pend chiefly for establishment of in- dustrial prosperity. There is plenty of consuming capacity here, if we could only make it possible for the po- tential consumers to buy those things they would be glad to consume.
 Resumption of peace conditions will come soon, the comptroller asserted, but European rehabilitation must be slow and it's reflection in more favor able business conditions very gradual. Must Help Ourselves.
 We must help our own people to be able to buy their own products, y he said NWe also help the outside world to maintain money system in such relation to gold that exchanges will be possible. Therefore, as to the domestic problem we must extend thru our financial instrumentalities, every encouragement to the produc- CTS. The farmer must be assured right now, that in his effort to buy fertilizers, the seed and implements and labor for the next crop he will be given the fullest support, the broadest credit that can possibly be extended thru the banks and that the federal government and it's banking struc- ture will stand squarely back of in- dividual banks that will work hand in hand for these purposes.

 Turning to the cotton industry, Mir Crissinger declared no other Ameri- can industry so thoroly deserved as sistance at time of temporary stress Authorities guiding the broader finan. .cial policies of the country, he said are determined to exert whatever power and influence may be necessary sta bring the industry back to a basis e6f assured prosperity.
 Efforts set on foot to enable for. .eign buyers to continue taking Ameri. can cotton, Mir Crissinger said, will receive every feasible and safe en. ,couragement. Conditions abroad are improving and the outlook for increas. ing trade with the United States is decidedly hopeful, he added.
 At this point, again" he concluded .'I give assurance that the utmost sup. port will be given by the govern. ment's financial authorities to every effort at extension of credits by which foreign trade may be developed Tue task must be handled hereafter thru the processes of commercial transaction; of those transactions which represent the unceasing flow o1 supplies and the constant, if at times postponed liquidation of accounts.

COTTON CROP IS SLOW.
Unfavorable Weather Impeded Prog.
 ress During the Week.

Washington, April 20.-Generally unfavorable weather impeded prog ress of the new cotton crop during the past week. Only the Eastern states of the belt had conditions susceptible to planting, the weekly crop bulletin of the Weather Bureau today showed
 Planting has become general thru out Georgia. Much of the cotton is up and being chopped, the report said, but this work was hampered in the central portions of the belt, due to heavy rains.
 The Piedmont section of South Car olina was the hardest hit by the re- cent cold snap, although the plants are showing up pretty well. The recent frosts would necessitate replanting in Louisiana and Arkansas.

 Thayer, Kas., April 21.-Being women, Mayoress Forest and her fem mine city council have elected as their first official act to give this town a jolly good tubbing.
 Sunday amusements, the town mor- als and such things are something for the evangelists to worry about, in the opinion of Mayoress Forest, but when a town needs good scruhhing behind the ears, there is a job a woman exe- cutive can handle to the queens taste.
 The first thing we are going to do is to use soap and water on our town" she said today. "The park is a sight. There is dust all over the city council rooms and the city hall hasn't had real bath since goodness knows when. Then we will order the grass trimmed in the cemetery and flowers planted. We will then go to work on the other things"
 Mayoress Forest does not know as yet whether she will appoint a woman town marshal Right now she does not know woman in Thayer husky enough to handle the job.

IN JAPAN SUSPECTED
Japanese Fail to Interpret Meaning of American Legion, Believing Americans Belonging to It
 In Nippon Reservists.
By DUKE N. PARRY International News Service Staff
 Correspondent


 Tokio, April 21.-The American Le- zion member in Tokio, the morning after a legion meeting, feels some what like the hero in Sherlock Holmes detective story. Referred to in an aside by the Japanese clerk in the office as an American lieuten- ant looked upon with some suspicion by his servants, who perhaps know, too, that he is connected with the organization of "American soldiers" as they are known. he is in a peculiar position.
 It is fact that one American who holds responsible position in Tokio, position which carries with 1t the impression that he may know some thing of the plans of Uncle Sam in the Far East, was recently away from his office for few hours when a Japan csc employed in the firm asked com rade of this American, also identified actively with the Tokio- Y oklahoma post of the American Legion, "how many Germans did he kill in France ?"
 Japanese, despite continued att tempts at explanations, are unable to get the Americans real meaning of the American Legion. Translated in- to Japanese the expression American Legion means ''Gungin Dan," or leg ion of military men" Going on this translation the Japanese who sees a legion member immediately takes him for an American military reservist, and, despite the fact that Americans here frequently take the trouble to ex- plain this fact, there seems to be no way of sufficiently convincing the Jap anese that the "Gungin Dan" is not a body of men with concealed arms and ammunition, ready for an attack on their hosts.
 Japs in Hawaii.
 "The American Legion," said an old American resident of Tokio recently, lis misunderstood in Japan much the same way that Japanese living in Ha- waii is misunderstood. 1t is a fact that the Japanese in Hawaii is really a military man of Japan; that he is ready at any minute to go to war with America, and is always active in serv- ing the cause of Japan. The Japanese suspects the Americans in the Ameri- can Legion somewhat the same way and insist on believing them military reservists.'
 An American Legion man, inter. viewed on the subject in Tokio recent ly. said: "The difference between tht American Legion man and the Japa nese citizen is marked one, and whil, that is one reason why the ignorant Japanese thinks tine legion is 'reser yist' organization, it does not excus, the educated Japanese, who pretend, to look upon us with so much suspi cion. An American cannot be a re servist' by being in the legion, and i is known that American does not hay, the system that Japan has, and whicl compels the Japanese to be a real re servist.' Because the Japanese mus be a reservist, due to the militaristi laws of the country, he feels that tn, American Legion is just a bit o eamouiiage to conceal a group O American reservists in Japan"
