CHICAGO TURNS TO
 HOMEMADE WINE
Demand for the Grape Attributed to New Post
 Volstead Drink

CHICAGO, March 19.-Home-brew moonshine and gin have given way in Chicago to new drink, and this city fast is becoming known as city of wine-makers and wine drink CTS, according to commission men. All classes, creeds and colors have laid in supplies of grapes, which they use in place of the raisln in making their beverage, the commis- sion men say.
 Rich Come, Also
 During the grape season It was no uncommon sight to see handsome limousines, with livered chauffeurs, drive up to the door of a commission house and fill the machine with baskets of grapes. One-horse wag- ons, pushcarts and automobile trucks were pressed into service to lay in the supply of grapes for the Winter wine-making.
 The city's colored population, which, according to tradition, has weakness for gin, is turning to wine and is learning the art of making the drink.
 Tn the Italian quarter, it is said, any quality of the liquor from plain red to the finest qualities of port and sherry. may be obtained
 The knowledge of the foreigner, particularly the Italian, has made it difficult to prohibit the making of wine. Added to this is the fact that grapes and grapejuice legally may be shipped anywhere in the United States.
 Bootleg Abandoned
 As a cause for the popularity of grapevine those who are said to know say the expense of having ones bootlegger and the trouble of making liquor from potato peelings, raisins and other ingredients have caused the virtual abandonment of manufac ture of this stock.
 An idea of the amount of wine making prevalent in Chicago may be gained from statements of the con- men, who declare the sales during the last grape season were double those of the previous season.

Organization on Charity
Responsibilities.

James NJ. Proctor Of the Civitan
Club of Washington addressed the
Zonta Club of business and profess
sional women at their weekly lunch
con Thursday in the oak room Of the
Raleigh Hotel on what not to do in
assuming charity responsibilities as
a reorganization. He told in brien
some of the experiences of his own
organization before 1t discovered a
system that proved satisfactory
1T has been very interesting to note
the progress of your club since its
organization" said Mr. Proctor.
Many men have constantly asserted
that 'woman'S place is in the home
whenever the advancement of women
in business has been the subject of
discussion. Woman's place is undeni-
ably in the home, but so is mans
place in the home. Women in busi-
ness are doing great good for the
interests Of our country as a nation
by their cooperation with men,
bringing women's high ideals into all
the professions and trades as well
why men and women should not be
able to work together for the general
benefit in business and in the home"
Owing to the absence of Miss Imo-
gen James, president of the Zoata
Club, at the luncheon, Mrs. Edith
Salisbury announced that the men,
bers of the club are invited to a
social meeting at Miss James apart

ton of their murderers had been in
creased t. $2S00 by the generous act
of a citizen of New York and another
of Maine.
Commissioner Parsons stated that
William Proctor of New York had
added 5000 to the offer of reward,
while DR.. o. c. Moulton of Sebago
Lake had added 500.
The attorney general and the Gov

of $500. which was made soon after
the disappearance of the two ward
ems when it became quite certain
that they had been murdered. With
in the past two weeks the legislature
has added another $1,000 to the
amount. making it total of $500,
which with the $500 additional an
nounced by Commissioner Parsons
gives $500.

features Of their mailing practices,
which if adhered to, postoffice eX-
perts declare. will insure fewer losses
of newspapers and magazines to sub
scribers.
The recommendation made are:
Unusually small publications should
be inclOsed in envelopes.
Publications mailed in single wrap
pcrs should be fiat, not rolled.
Publications should be folded to
size not larger than 8 by II inches
if possible.
Addresses should be in 10 point
type or larger or in legble hand.
Old newspapers should not be used
as wrappers. Ink should be black or
of strongly contrasting color and
envelopes. wrappers and label paper
should be white or of very light tint.
Separation of copies to rural and
to city subscribers will facilitate dis
tribution.
Individual copies unfolded and I'M
wrapped should have addresses in
such manner that the address APP
pears in the upper corner near the
bound edge when a copy is Srasped
by the bound edge.
Notice of entry of publication as
second class should appear on all
wrappers and envelopes.
Care should be taken about paste
on labels. Too little permits the label
to fail off and too much makes the
publications stick and destroy the
legibility of the address.

nearly all indicated building boom
under way.
In Chicago building permits were
issued to q value of S225.742,O0O. an
increase of 100000 over the previous
year. The rush of January permits
pointed the possibility Of an even
greater building year in 1928. In
1922 Chicago built $3.50 residences
and 1858 apartments.
An open winter was a factor in
keeping up building in much of the
northwest.
Kentucky reported n new high
peak in building estimated at $40
O0O, 900 for the year, while preliml-
nary Louisville figures estimated
building at about 100 per cent more
than ever before. Demand for homes

Milling Industry
Has Good Year

Minneapolis. Mimi, Feb. 16.-By
A. P.)-The milling industry was
better in 1922 than in the preceding
year. and the prospects for 1928 are
favorable, dependent upon tie crop
of wheat in the Northwest, millers
here declare.
These declarations followed statis-
teal reports which showed that IL
444,S92 barrels of flour were shipped
from the &c mills here in 1922 as
compared to 16,645,196 barrels the
year previous. Mill stuffs also showed
an increase III shipments. 610. $40 tons
being forwarded from here last year
compared with 642,3S3, in 1921.
with the Northwest sustaining
three crop failures out of five seasons
it is impossible to predict the pros
pectus for the coming year, but with
a good average wheat crop again this
year, mulcrs should enjoy better
business in 1928 than the preceding
year. +. NJ. Crosby, of the Washburn
Crosby Company declared.
Officials Of other milling companies
here held similar views, one stating
the milling situation is healthier
now than at the same time year
ago.
Local mills ran at capacity only a
few weeks of the year. averaging
about 20 per cent for the twelve
months.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Crosby
that economic conditions have little
or no effect upon the milling indus
try, the crop being the only factor.
A crop failure in the Northwest
brings the mills to face with a short
age of wheat and puts them at a
disadvantage with mills in other por-
lions of the country, Mr.. Crosby de-
clared.
Hope for relief from rust in the
crops through the barberry eradi-
cation campaigns was held out by
Mr.. Crosby. I'VE should feel the
effect of the several years destruction
of these bushes in better crops this
year." he added.
