MEDICINAL WHISKEY
 WOULD COST DOUBLE
This Is, What State Druggist Offi- sfal Says About Proposed
 New Law.

New Haven, Jan. 21 P1Whiskey for medicinal purposes will cost al- most double the present price, If a bill now before congress becomes a law, P. J. Garvin, secretary of the Connecticut Pharmaceutical associa- tion, said today in explaining the provisions of the measure.
 A corporation would take over the output of private distilleries and re- sell direct to retail druggists, elimi- hating the handling by wholesale druggists and the competition among private distilleries. accord ing to Mir. Garvin. who continued:
 "The monopoly will have to charge at least $50 case in order to cover the $27 purchase price of the dis tiller, $15 for the sinking fund as provided in the bill, s5 gallon federal tax and B for incidental ex- penses. With the price to the drug gist almost twice what 1t has been toner twice as much"
 MT. Garvin expressed the opinion that the manufacture and distribu- tion of "moonshine' would "neces- sarily increase" and more alcohol would be diverted to bootleg pur- poses as the price of medicinal spir. it's manufactured and distributed by the government monopoly becomes higher and more prohibitive.
 There Is nothing in the bill," he said, ito prevent this or to stop the cutting of whiskey by those distrib- | utors who now adulterate it."

The result Of the recent Ryder Cup
international golf matches at Worces
ter and the United States open tour
ney indicates to an almost humorous
degree a theory that may not be at
all warranted-that the American
professionals. and the British profess
sionals. play better match golf in
their own respective back yards.
It will be recalled, perhaps with a
hint of modification, that our pro-
fessional team, playing in the first
Of the Ryder Cup matches last Sum-
mer at Wentworth. in Surrey, Eng
land, was trounced in the ratio Of
131a to IL in five foursomes and ten
singles matches. Our revenge at
Worcester was nearly as complete.
Our side won, in four foursomes and
eight singles matches, 912 to 2l2.
Better at Home.
Ofhand. the implication is that
both sides play better at home. And
certainly the advantage does lie with
the home team, especially as both the
Wentworth match and the Worcester
match were played soon after the
visiting club had got off the boat
which carried them across the At
lantic. Our boys certainly were still
wearing sea-legs at Wentworth and
demonstrated an Improvement by
romping away with most of the first
dozen places in the ensuing British
open championship.
l suspect the Worcester course
puzzled the invaders in the recent
encounter. The reports indicate that
they held their own easily up to the
vicinity Of the green, where the
methodical Americans unfinished
