Times Washington Bureau,
1929 VEG York ArN.

E-7ASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Dry
IMl leaders in Washington. echo
ing the sentiments Of Anti
Saloon League officers in Ohio, have
given up Canada as Lost Coun-
try"
= few years ago Canada was held
up by American dry leaders as an
example the United States should
follow. All of Canada was dry. Now
nearly all of Canada is wet once
more and Canada is being held up
as a terrible example"
American prohibitionists, however,
are not very worried over Canada's
action. They take great pride in
pointing out that here in the United
States prohibition has been written
into the Constitution and a mere
| one-fourth of the States can keep it
there.
They Vote Wet
In Canada States rights prevailed.
Every province was able to adopt
it's own rules. One by one they
/ have voted wet.
The situation in Canada now IS
as follows: Quebec, Manitoba, Sas-
/ katchewan, Alberta and British Co
lumbia are wet. Ontario will vote on
the wet and dry issue in October
and the odds are quoted at better
than to that the vets will win.
That will mean that of Canada's
9 1000 900 residents, over S,000,0 900 Will
be living in wet territory. Only the
small or thinly populated provinces
such as Prince Edward Island, Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick and the
Yukon Territory viii still have pro-
! hibition laws.
Though each of the provinces is
able to enact its own liquor regula-
tions. the practice most popular is
for the provincial government to
conduct official liquor stores.
Commissions Named
Each province has established a
Liquor Commission" with full and
complete authority over the manu-
facture, importation, and transporta-
ton of liquor within the province,
and this commission Is also charged
with the prosecution of violations OF
the liquor laws.
Each commission maintains CEN
trail warehouse in the province CAPT
tai and retail liquor stores scattered
out wherever the trade warrants.
In some of the provinces, notably
Quebec and British Columbia, the
commission may also grant licenses
to taverns and restaurants to sell
beer and wine.
The liquor stores sell only at retail.
Whisky and other hard liquors may
be purchased, but only in limited
quantities. Wines may be purchased
in any quantity, but at a standard
price per bottle regardless how big
the order.
Prices Are High
The prices are fairly high, as COM
pared with American pre- prohibition
prices, but are low as compared to
American bootleg prices. Whiskey
averages about 81 per bottle and
wine runs from dollar a bottle up
ward. These prices permit the
provincial governments and the
Dominion government to share a
very liberal tax and DO small por-
ton of Canada's revenues are now
being obtained from liquor taxes.
Liquor sold by the commissions is
imported chiefly from Scotland and
England in the case Of hard STUFF
and from France In the case of
wines. Beer is made in the
provinces by Canadian breweries
whose product is sold direct TO the
consumers-be they private In
dividuals or tavern proprietors>

Physician Killed

Jupiter, fearing that the skill of
Aesculapius might eventually lead
to men escaping death entirely
turled a thunderbolt at the physi-
cIan and killed him.
But on the request Of Apollo. the
sun-god, who was the father Of Aes-
culapius. he placed the famous
physician in the sky among the
other consultations.
The constellation IS also taken by
some students to represent the
figure of LAGOON, a priest OF
ancient Troy.
After the Greeks had besieged
Troy for many years without
success, Ulysses, the crafty, finally
suggested the building Of a wooden
horse within which the Greek war
riors were to hide.
Accordingly, a great wooden horse
was built. The best fighters among
the Greeks hid inside it, and the rest
of the Greek army boarded the ships
and pretended to start for home.
The Trojans were overjoyed, and,
spying the horse, decided to drag It
into the city as a trophy. The
Greeks, before pretending to leave,
had announced that they were leav-
ing the statue as an offering to the
goddess Minerva.
LAGOON Protests
The priest, LAGOON, protested
however, and said that he feared the
Greeks were up to a trick. He
struck his spear against the side of
the horse, and the ring Of changing
metal was heard from within as the
shields and spears of the hidden
warriors tangled against each other
The Trojans would have destroyed
the horse, but two great serpents
come out Of the sea and seize Lao
coon and his two sons.
The Trojans believed this was a
sign from the gods, and they made
a breach in the wall of Troy and
hauled the horse into the city.
And that night the Greek warriors
set fire to the city, and so Troy was
conquered.
