WILCOX
CHICAGO, March 25.-There isn't
chance that the sale OF wine and
beer will be permitted in the United
States. in the opinion of DR.. Max
Henius, nationally recognized au-
thority on brewing, who recently
left Chicago for a tour of European
countries. Before beer or wine could
be sold legally. DIR. Henius declared
20 would be necessary TO repeal the
Eighteenth amendment. and this he
does not consider probable.
1t ls utterly impossible by amend

manufacture of beer and wine" DIT
Heuius said. cas- it is a recognized

The Eighteenth amendment pro-
hlbits the manufacture. sale and ina
porting of Intoxicating beverages.
IN order 10 get wine and beer re-

act through definition OF what con-
stitutes an Intoxicating beverage
would be beneficial i'm removing
some of the objections that now con-
tribute 20 the certain measure OF un-
popularity now attached to the pro-
hibitiou amendment.
AS a suggested means Of arriving
at the definition Of an Intoxicating
beverage Dr. Henius put forth the
plan that a commission of 90 scien-
ists-10 from the American Medical
society and 10 from the American
Chemical society-be named to set
tie the problem. This committee
could report its decision to congress.
he says. and it's findings could be
substituted. I'm the form OF an
amendment TO the Volstead law, for
the present arbitrary definition OF
one-half of one per cent, which is
the prescribed limit of alcoholic
content for any beverage.
Dr. Henius says beverages con-
tanning less than 3 per cent alcohol
should be cIassed as nOn-intoxicat-
ing
