Windsor Brewers Announcement
 Has No Effect On Ontario's Popularity

Detroit, April S.--Announcement of Windsor brewers that when On- tario's A spirit proof beer goes on sale 1t will cost at least ten cents, has not slackened the demand for houses and business property in the border cities, real estate dealers as- serted today.
 It is understood one hotel on the Canadian side of the river changed hands last week at a high figure. Country clubs also report an unusual increase in the number of applications for membership. Yet another report connected with the anticipated coming of A beer, is that efforts will be made to obtain all night ferry service between De- troit and Windsor.
 To those who expect the coming of the more potent beverage will mean an era of unrestricted joy came a warning from Mayor F. J. Mitchell of Windsor that any tourist who becomes intoxicated will be sternly dealt with. To attempt to prove the government was wrong in holding that A beer is not in- toxicating. he intimated, would be a grave breach of propriety.
