BEER BILL WILL
Be INTRODUCED

Beer will help enforce the Eigh-
teenth Amendment, according to
Congressman R. C. Dyer, st. Louis.
With this in view, Congressman
Dyer plans to introduce at the ses-
sion of congress next December a
resolution to amend the Volstead
Prohibition Enforcement Act by
authorizing the manufacture of beer
with an alcoholic content of three
and one-half per cent.
"Most people will be satisfied
with good beer" is the way Dyer
put it. "They would then help en-
force the law as to intoxicating IL
quors."
Dyer's amendment would fix the
alcoholic content of beverages at
2.75 per cent by weight, which
would amount to about $50 per
cent by volume.
"This quantity of alcohol in
beer is not intoxicating, and
have abundant proof of that asser-
ton from hearings held before the
house judiciary committee, of which
am a member" he said. This COM
mittee will receive the resolution
for consideration after its intro
duction.
A similar resolution will be into
duced in the senate.
"All this turmoil, dissatisfaction
and unrest should convince a con-
gresham that a change is desired.
The law is not being enforced, even
though horde of prohibition
agents is at large. This failure in
enforcement is inducing disrespect
Of law and making more law vio-
lators."

Minter, who is reported as being
about to file suit against her mother,
Mrs. Charlotte Shelby, for $1,000
900, which Mary claims she earned
and her mother "held out" on her.
She states that her mother re-

RULES FOR WALKING
ON THE HIGHWAYS

Recent accidents have called at
tention to the practice of walking
and riding bicycles on improved
Especially concrete) highways, on
the right-hand side. This practice is
highly dangerous, as one walking
must constantly be on the, guard
against traffic not only coming to-
wards him but also that coming
from the rear. If the walking were
done on the left-hand side the ap-
preaching traffic alone need be
watched and the hazard would be
reduced to the Northumberland
Highway Bulletin.

well as the firing of torpedoes with

WORLD WIDE BITS
IN SMALL CHUNKS

Of the four men "holding down"
Wrangell Island in the Arctic for
the Canadian Government, three are
American citizens. The island is
about eighty miles long and thirty
five miles wide, rugged and rocky
with maximum elevation of about
1000 feet. 1t is probably the great
est polar bear country in the world
and there are no locations better
for fox raising. Both the United
States and Russia have somwhat
shadowy claims on it. In time it no
doubt will possess great value as an
airplane station in the line Of what
promises to be the shortest and
safest aeronautic route between
Asia and America.
The Desert Touring Club Of Alex
andria, Egypt, has fifteen members,
including Albanian, British, French,
Greek and Italian. With three cars
they tour thousands of miles over
the Sahara Desert.
Stately Japanese cedar trees line
both sides of the 30-mile boulevard
leading from the imperial summer
palace at Nikko, Japan, to a near
by village. The trees tower 200 feet
or more in the air. The legend has
it that several hundred years ago the
emperor summoned all the noble
men to his summer palace, each
one being requested to bring a gift.
An impoverished nobleman carried
with him a sack of tree seeds, and

Erich Ludendorff, one-time quart
ermaster-general Of Germany's
armies, won victory in the Munich
Court recently when DR.. Wiener,

Citizens Of Jewish Faith, was SEN
fenced to pay a fine of 100000
marks and the costs of the trial,
and PUBLISH the verdict in his paper
Wiener wrote and published an
article based on an alleged inter-
view with Ludendorff in which he
was quoted as saying hard things
about the republican government
of Germany and German-Americans.
Flying scholarships for men and
women in the 1000 largest cities
of the country have been offered
by the National Aeronautic Associ-
alton to stimulate interest in
aeronautics. One scholarship will be
awarded for each $4,000 population
of the cities. Candidates must be
seventeen years of age or over must
be physically fit to fly. The scholar
ships call for instruction in flying
at the leading flying schools. 1t is
part of the association'splan to put
America first in the air."
The site of the pioneer village of
Schoenbrun, the first settlement in
the Northwest Territory, near New
Philadelphia, Ohio, has been deter
mined by an archeologist. The old
village was founded in 1772 by a
Moravian mi sionary. Fragments of
brightly colored glass resembling
Venetian glass, such as traders
gave Indians for skins of animals,
fragments of clasp knives used for
hunting, large sheets of pure beaten
copper, flintlocks used in muskets,
tomahawks, wrought iron nails, hu-
man bones and potteryware were
found in the cellars. The village
passed from exeistnce in 1882.

In general there are three sources.

The use of batteries as a source Of

very low power sets that are used

intervals. Sufficient capacity In the
form of "B" batteries would mean
