NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Forty-four
victims of poison liquor writhed on
hospital cots today as the toll of
Christmas drinking here. They re-
fused to heed the warming of pro-
hibition enforcement authorities that
"a per cent Of the liquor sold in
New York was not fit to drink.
None of the victims will become
blind, physicians said, although
some were totally unconscious.
Stomach pumps and antidotal inJec-
tons were used to revive them.
Other victims who were poisoned
to a lesser degree were able TO
go to their homes after first-aid
treatment had been administered to
them.
Many of the patients would have
become blind, police said, but for
the fact that enforcement agents
have virtually eliminated liquors
with wood alcohol base in recent
raids.

The confidence with which the
automobile business can view 1926
indicates to me that the entire
country will enjoy good times dur

was time when the steel industry
was used as an economic barometer
1t Ii stilI good one but the auto

aluminium. plate glass, leather. rub
Ter. lumber. copper. tin. lead, zinc,
nickel. paint and varnish. cotton,

There is every possibility that we
shall have lowered taxes. Building
operations are going ahead. Labor
Is fully employed. The agricultural
outlook, Is good.
Material prices may 50 upward
but the public viii have increased
capacity to buy.
The export market offers greater
possibilities than ever to American
manufacturers Of motor cars.
II every business could look ahead
with the same confidence that the
automobile can, then we would in
deed have cause to feel very opti-
mistic over the approaching year.
i will be a good year. Everything
indicates that.

MISS ELSIE sIGEL

A matter that has puzzled the
minds of scientists, doctors psy-
biologists, psychiatrists, bar
tenders. policemen on their beats
and just the ordinary man in the
street, was put up today to the
Attorney General of the United
States for decision.
II is a definition of the term:
Intoxicating in fact
Part Of Regulations
That perpIexity is written into
Treasury regulations pertaining to
the manufacture IN the home for
home use Of cider and other fruit
juices.
Cider brewing in the home Is
lawful as long as the product is
not Intoxicating in fact
The country's spring crop or
cider-which ranges annually from
~ mild and harmless beverage TO a
concoction which has upset many
good man-depends IN q large
degree on what John q. Sargent
says.
Experts Puzzled
Prohibition experts admitted to-
day that cider may be more than
u of ! per cent alcoholic without
being intoxicating in fact. But
they don't know "how much more"
The old puzzle is thus raised as
to when a beverage is intoxicating
and when is a man drunk.
The Treasury is puzzled over the
status of the owner of cider which,
when manufactured, was non alec.
holic, but which later, through the
course of nature, attained that
degree characterized as hard"
There are degrees to which cider
may go that leave no doubt as to
the application of Intoxicating in
fact"
However, officials said that cider
is not intoxicating in fact unless
IL intoxicates. Whether or not il
intoxicates cannot be determined
except by human consumption In.
dividuals vary in their capacity for
absorbing liquor without getting
Z drunk.
