Wine
IS UNDER Ban
Comes Under Provisions of
Volstead Act, Haynes
Rules
RECENT CONVICTION
IN SUSSEX COUNTY

Referring today to the ruling by
Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Roy A. Haynes, Washington, that
dandelion wine comes within the pro-
visions of the Volstead act and can
not be made, transported or sold,
Robert A. Elliott, Federal Director
OF Prohibition for Delaware. recalled
that a man was recently prosecuted
in the Sussex county court at George
town, for making and selling such
wine.
"The defendant was found guilty"
said Director Elliott, "and was
sentenced to two years in the Work
house. Because of his age and the
fact that he was the sole support of
a wife the sentence was suspended.
The entire question turns upon the
alcoholic content Of such beverages.
If dandelion wine contains more
than one-half Of one per cent. al
coholic It certainly comes within the
provisions of the Volstead act"
Director Elliott declined 10 indi-
cate what action he would take to-
wards the sale Of dandelions or dan
delion wine in the public markets,
or say whether he would raid any
stocks of the beverage In homes
throughout the city.

A LITTLE TALK
ON TWO SHIPS
The Majestic

We humans OF 1922 are pretty
cooky. We have built a ship 956
feet long. II Is called the Majestic.
Truly. the building OF the Majestic
| Is a great achievement But be-
fore exhau sting our superlatives in
self-praise, let's look back a little.
There once was a shipbuilder named
Noah
Noah's record, as narrated in the
Old Testament. will never be bet
tered. Here's what he did. as told
in Genesis:
"And God said unto Noah. make
thee an ark. The length OF the ark
shall be three hundred cubits, the
breadth OF It fifty cubits. and the
height of It thirty cubits." Accord
ing to the new International En-
cyclopedia, the ark was $50 feet
long, 81 Ia feet wide, and SO IL
feet deep. Not so big as the Ma
jestlc. which IS eB6 long, 100 feet
wide, and 102 feet deep-but a
whale of a boat when one considers
Noah's facilities.
Noah had few tools His mater
falls were gopher wood and pitch.
Probably nobody helped him but his
sons Shem. Ham and Japeth and
their wives. Yet they built a ship
big enough to house and supply for
several months two OF every sort
OF fowls after their kind. and OF sat
tie after their kind, and Of every
creeping thing OF the earth after his
kind"
It Is well to reflect, in admiring
the feat OF the Majestic builders,
that Noah's record still stands.
