Home Brew Failure.
sit seems to be generally admitted
that the home brew industry has fall
ed both as a national sport and as a
commercial enterprise. The beer prob
lem arises rather from the fact that
makers of near beers are allowed to
manufacture 'high-powered' beer sub
Ject to the requirement that it be sub
sequently dealcoholiZed and sold as a
non-alcoholic beverage. While the
latest Government reports disclose the
existence of only four breweries, tech
nically so called, there were in 1924
4S3 dealcoholizing plants. commonly
called 'breWeries, from some OF which
real beer too readily finds its way to
an Illicit market. There is, however.
no visible reason why the Illicit re-
moval of alcoholic beer from brew
cries cannot be effectually controlled.
The beer problem would seem to be
wholly soluble, although 1t has been

''The situation is somewhat similar
with reference to the Illicit whisky
business. With the supply of good
quality liquor becoming exhausted
there lis an increasing effort to supply
the market with 'moonshine'-the
only limit being the capacity and will
ingness of the consumer. A very con-
siderable retail trade in distilling ap.
paratus has been built up. The sur
prising fact Is that 1ow-grade and
highly injurious stuff finds such an
extent and variety OF patronage. There
Is reason to hope that the dangers
connected with drinking 'moonshine'
will tend more and more to confine the
traffic to habitual drinkers. This is an
evil against which health education
should make rapid headway. There Ia,
however, an obvious danger that with
increased efforts to stop smuggling
and the diversion of alcohol this
elusive type of violation will increase"

to secure the release of 'sacramental'

This is a type of violation that is
difficult to measure and to control. No
one knows how much there Is of 1t,
but 1t Is extremely prevalent in some
sections. 1t is probably the most sig
nificant phase Of the problem of en-
forcement from the standpoint of ulti-
mate success. 1t is well known that in
the commodity market q scarcity

one Of the scandals Of the prohibition

''1t Is commonly asserted that prohi.
bition has given q very great impetus
to the wine industry. Unfortunately.
owing to the fact that the United
States takes only decennial census
of grape production, there are no au-
thentic figures for the industry since
1919. We are dependent upon crop
estimates and reports Of car-lot ship
ments.
ut may be said with great deal OF
assurance. however, that the state.
ments with reference to the growth
of an illicit wine industry have been
much exaggerated. The grape indus
try is distinctly on the defensive and
has been for a considerable number of
years. In California. which has pro-
duced the largest part Of the wine

of the industry is aggravated by the
fact that much new acreage has been

All the time that Jimmy was talk

stumps and no dead trees He climbed
tree after tree without finding one
with a hole in it. At last he had to
stop to rest. He was homesick and
discouraged and frightened. He was

Linen is soft, absorbs moisture read
