Prescriptions
For Beer Held
Il. To Be Illegal

WASHINGTON, June o. The
supreme court today held the act
of congress expressly forbidding the
prescription of beer for medicinal
purposes was constitutional.
Suits appealed to the court by
James Eyerard's breweries and Ed
ward John Burke, Ltd, of New
York, were argued as one case to
determine the authority of congress
to deny by legislative act the privi-
lege of drinking beer under a physi-
clans prescription for r'its medicinal
properties. Lower federal courts de-
cided congress was within its con-
stitutional powers. The brewers ap
pealed on the grounds the 18th
amendment did not empower con-
gress to forbid the use of any sort
of liquor as a medicine. If beer was
forbidden under a Doctors prescrip-
tion, is was argued, spurious liquors
must also be forbidden under the
same circumstances.

CONFER WITH
STUDENTS ON
PAIRS SANITY
by United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, June p Squads of
officers from the office of State 3
Attorney Robert Z. Grove invaded
the University of Chicago campus
today in search of students able to
testify that Nathan Leopold and
! Richard Loeb, confessed slayers of
Robert Franks, l4-year old school
boy, were sane.
Believing that their ease against
Leopold and Loed is "absolute -,
Groves aides started a secondary.
''defensc against the defense" AS
sured that Clarence Darrow, chief
defense counsel, will attempt to save
tho two young college graduates
from the gallows by proving them
insane, the state is making every
effort to refute the testimony of
alienists.
Groves staff, meanwhile, an
nounced they had "new evidence
against the young intellectuals, who
"just for the fun of it, kidnapped
and killed Franks. The new evil
dence, it was said, consists of pencil
scribled notes written by both
Leopold and Loeb when their con-
fessions were being read. Each took
notes of the others confession in
order to check back on slight dis
crepancies.
These notes, it was explained, are
in the youths own handwriting and
will be admitted as evidence, even
though the trial judge should throw
out the actual confessions as evil
dence.
The notes, much like those taken
by college students at a class room
lecture, were written hastily and
abbreviated as the confessions were
read to them.

An Interpretation Of this brief note
shows that the band Of Colonel Proc
tors Fourth Continental artillery ap-
parently took it upon itself to serenade
the commander in chief. This old rec
ord brings to light that Valley Forge,
with all that that name means Of priva-
lions and suffering was the setting
where was staged what was undoubt.
eddy the first recognition in any public
way of Washington's birthday.
French First to Celebrate.
There Is still another record Of those
Revolutionary times which touches Us
perhaps most poignantly today. To the
French Is credit due for the first pub
lie celebration Of Washington's BIRTH
day. 1t was in February, 1871, that
COmte de ROchambeau, with true
French spirit, declared a holiday for the
French troops who were then located
in Connecticut. Washington's BIRTH
day fell that year on Sunday, so the
Frenche general specified that the fol-
lowing Monday be set aside for the
celebration Of the birthday of his COM
mander, whom he so highly esteemed.
1t was another Of the many EVIL
dences Of the close ties between France
and America which existed in Revo-
lutionary times. 1t was on that MEM
orable occasion that was first laid the
foundation Of our national holiday.
The Tomahawk., 1924-02-21
THE DATE OF
WASHINGTON'S
BIRTH

NLD records-what stories they can
~ tell. Sometimes full Of romance.
sometimes startling in their disclosures.
It would seem that Washington's
birthday, observed for so many years
on February %, was a celebration
founded securely on accurate historical
facts. Yet buried in the family Bible
her own handwriting Is an entry which
makes one pause with surprise. There
she has clearly recorded the astounding
statement that George Washington
was born on February II.
Certainly no one should know more
about this important event than Mrs
Washington.
There it Is in black and white in
her own handwriting:
George Washington, son to Au-
gustine and Mary, his wife, was
bore We 1.-THE Of February, 1892,
about 10 in the morning, and was
baptised the Sd of April following.
Mr.. Beverley Whiting and Capt.
Christopher Brooks, godfathers,
and Mrs. Mildred Gregory, god
mother.
Family Bibles, especially in those
times, were the last word in accuracy,
so this statement must be accepted as
indisputable.
BY the latter part of the Sixteenth
century. the calendar year had become
askew with the astronomical year. 1t
seemed important that readjustment
be made and Pope Gregory XIII, after
careful consultation with the learned
men of his time, decreed that in 1852
10 days should be dropped and ar
ranged what has since been called the
Gregorian calendar. The mandate Of
the pope was followed that year by
Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, but
England would have none Of it and
continued on the basis Of the old cal
endar for another century and half.
Difference Of Eleven Days.
BY 1852 In England the discrepancy
had mounted up to II days, and the
Disadvantages Of two systems Of dates
was causing great annoyance. It was
necessary to date letters going from
England or her colonies to France with
the days Of both systems; for instance,
February 1872. So at last to avoid all
this confusion England officially adopt
ed the Gregorian calendar and decreed
that II days be omitted in the year
1852 between September 3 and Septem-
Der IA. ..
So for Washington, his birthday in
1853 and all succeeding years fell on
February %.
But there Is another record which
throws light on what was probably the
first public recognition of his birthday.
This time the record is In his own
handwriting. While commander in
chief Of the Continental armies, with
all his other responsibilities and duties,
Washington found time to keep exact
records Of all his expenses. These ex-
pense accounts were several years ago
made available by their transferal
from the Treasury department to the
library Of congress where they were
placed with the great collection Of
Washington's papers there. ~. ~.
In one Of Washington's daily ex-
pense account books there is an entry,
under date Of February %, 177S, which
reads: H..
Cash paid the 22nd Inst to Proc
tors band by the q. o.. $3.50. los.

the result Of combustion, for If such
were the case it would have been con-

theory is generally accepted. 1t as
sumes that the suns bulk Is gradually
