WINE BAN DROPPED.
imported or Domestic Product Now
Allowed for Sacramental Use.

David II. Blair, commissioner of in
ternal revenue, has definitely removed
the ban from sacramental wine, in a
decision which repcals two former de-
cisions placing restrictions on wine for
sacramCntal use, and amends the reg
ulations governing it's distribution.
X is provided that wines for sacra-
mental purposes may be either import
ed or domestic. Persons desiring to
import or manufacture such wines
must obtain permits from the prohibi-
ton director. Domestic wines for sac
ramental purposes must be produced
on winery premises as provided in the
present regulations.
A rabbi, priest or other minister OF
the gospel may qualify as proprietor
of a bonded winery for the purposes
of manufacturing sacramcntal wines
for general distribution. but not for his
congregation only. A priest, rabbi or
minister of the gospel also may bc en-
ployed as o qualified wine maker TO
supervise the production Of the needed
wines.
Wines for sacramcntal purposes
must be tax paid at the regular legal
rates. They may not be consumed on
the promises where produced but may
be removed upon tax payment for de-
livery for sacramcntal purposes or
like religious gitcs on receipt Of ap-
plicaton form 1i12, duly Subscribed

The new decision calls attention to
the feet that some persons OF the Jew

in their homes in the conduct Of which
wine is used while other members OF
that faith do not practice such rites

NO PEACE IN SIGHT.
Death of Michael Collins Not Expect
ed to Quiet the Irish.

Predictions that the assassination OF
Michael Collins will end the general
guerilla warfare are at least prcma-
ture. a compromise between the
factions is more difficult now than it
woulds haye been earlier in rhe year
The republicans hold that Collins was
not murdered They point out that nc
fell in battle fighting the republican
forces. Moreover Ireland is no longer
shocked by killings which are accepted
as a. part of the routine of the day.
Even admitting the remote possibili-
ty that the republican leaders and the
officials of the Free State should ar
range compromise of their differ
enees the land-hungry tenants and the
Simon pure, gunmen will continue
their brigandage with a new relent-
lessness and with fewer fifth com.
mandment bullets" to use an express
sion that is popular on both sides.
The day of personalized politics in
Ireland is gone. Armed groups are
organized in all counties while every
fair-siz village has its separate gang
and its dominant gun crew. There no
longer exists in Ireland respect for law
and order and the treaty split has
shaken the confidence of the leaders
ont both sides. Towns have become
plas Things of the fighters. One town
in Kerry was taken and retaken four
times alternately by Free Stoters and
republicans without q single casualty.
In Cork the police arrested a quar-
tet leaving the bank. They had $20,-
coo, all that was left in the banks
funds, having stolen a similar amount
on'a former visit. They pleaded that
their pals would accuse them Of steal
ing from them il they returned with
out the loot. - Moreover they advised
the Inspector of police that il would be
better for him If he refrained from in
terfererce. Remembering pasl cxperi-
ences the inspector replaced the mon
ey and went to sleep while tine quar-
tet "broke jail'' and then, after warn
ing the police away from the bank
beat, went there and retrieved their
original loot.
Ludicrous incidents of this charac-
ter have been too numerous almost to
mention. Repeated peace efforts Of
course are expected. The II laborites
in the Dali will try again, but their
influence is not great, the transport
and labor parties not having affiliated
either with the Free State or the re-
publican cause.
The church is very influential so far
as the republican leaders are concern
eG, but against the great mass of the
rank and file 1t has not been so sue
.cessful and Cardinal Logue las been
compelled to threaten to resort to a
policy of accommodation If present
conditions continue. Threats are be-
ing made that all builoIng will be
stopped by the declaration of a strike.
II this takes place the whole of labor
must become involved and the crea-
tion of red army operating for it's
own ends rather than for De Valera
may we'll be the outcome.

MOTHER FINDS SONS.

Years AGO.

Just when the clouds of adversely

Of Mrs. Mary Margaret Roper, 80
resident at the county poor house, a
raw of sunshine pierced through, says
Kansas City, Mo, dispatch. For the
aged woman has just found her two
sons, who were kidnapped fifty-eight
years ago. Nearly sixty years she had
spent alternately hoping and despair
ing of finding her boys, who were
literally snatched from her arms when
they were scarcely able to toddle. More

locks OF mothers tresses whose ma

sraced the hooks in the little room al
the home of the aged, where Mrs.
Roper has made quilts for the last ten
years, have been discarded. In Their
stead several black silk ones, with lace
fringes around the collars, have ap-
peared.
This woman, whose three score
years and ten have failed to percepti-
bly, halt her step or her vision, re-
ceived letter from one of her sons
Joseph-in which he expressed him
self as overjoyed, she said, to learn
that she was alive. He extended her
cordial invitation to come live With
him and his family. This Mrs. Roper
has planned to do. Her other SON
Charles, is married and has two
children.
A prominent local attorney, who
often visits the poor house and whose
philanthropic actions Keep him con-
stantly in til limelight, received a
CHEEKY greeting from Mrs. Roper when
he visited her. This man had been a
marketing agent for her handiwork
for some time.
Smiling, she shook hands with
her benefactor. II won't be making

elapsed when Roper and his wife
quarreled. Roper departed for parts
unknown the following day, taking the
children with him.
The strain of the separation from
her loved ones proved too much for
the deserted wife and mother. She
went to the home of her sister to recu-
perate and made her home there until
her sisters death.
