CITY DRYING UP,
DECLARES LIQUOR CHIEF
Era of Riches Gone, Figures Show;
Injunctions Aid War on Liquor;
Supply Decreased

(Chicago Herald-EXaminer, Sept. 2S, '27)
Chicago is getting drier. So arc Ill-
nois, Wisconsin and Indiana. Prohibition
beer drinkers are paying more and get
ting worse beverage.
And finally, organized bootlegging
gangs are fighting bankruptcy.
These assertions are the cardinal
points in a report forwarded to Wash
ington yesterday by Prohibition Admins
traitor Z. {. Yellowley on his two years
OF activity in this district.
He declared the two years have been
marked by outstanding achievement in
elimination of sources of supply, notably
in the case of alcohol production.
Injunctions Aid
One of the most effective weapons in
combating the bootleg industry, his re-
port stated, has been the injunction law
"In Chicago alone" Mr.. Yellowley said
81 $50 buildings were padloclled for one
year for dry law violations.
Because of the danger OF losing their
revenue from rents,' Ye1low1ey continued
property OWHSlS dlS cooperating WIFI
the prohibition department.
YelloWley stressed particularly activi-
ties of his office during last August.
In that month alone, he said, federal
agents seized SIS illegal breweries and 81
wildcat" distilleries.
Bootleg beer was epidemic in June of
this year" the report continued, "but seiz-
ures soon cut off the supply and increas-
ed the price $40 per barrel"
Reduce Withdrawal
Withdrawals of specially denatured al
cohol have been reduced $4,000 gallons
per month in the two-year period, Yell
lowley declared And 1852 withdrawal
permits held by doctors, druggists, and
others, have been revoked, Cancelled or
diSapproved.
There still remain in Chicago, however,
Is, 132 permits for withdrawal of medicin-
al liquor and spirits for legitimate pur-
poses.

MAKING BOOZE
FOR PERSONAL use
J. H. Collier

You ask us to "state briefly what effect
1t will have upon the owner of the house
if a tenant makes wine (probably only for
personal use).'
Section 3 of the Illinois Prohibition act
provides as follows:
mo person shall, on or after the date
when this act goes into effect, manufac-
ture, SELL barter, transport, deliver, fur
nish or possess any Intoxicating liquor
except as authorized in this act, and all
the provisions Of this act shall be liber-
ally construed to the end that the use of
Intoxicating liquor as beverage may be
prevented
Liquor for non-beverage purposes and
wine for sacramental purposes may be
manufactured, purchased, sold, bartered,
transported, delivered, furnished and pos
sessed, but only as herein provided, and
the Attorney General may, upon app1i-
cation, issue permits therefore, but IN case
the office of Commissioners of Prohibi-
ton shall be created then such commits
sioner shall issue such permits"
Section 33b provides:
"The penalties provided in this act
against the manufacture of liquor without
a pernait- shall not ann1y TO a perean for
manufacturing notwithstanding cider and
fruit juices exclusively for use in his
home but such cider and fruit juices shall
not be sold or delivered except to persons
having permits to manufacture vinegar"
Il u 4. 4
fines Intoxicating Liquor as follows:
when used in this act, the word I'D
uor' or the phrase Intoxicating liquor
shall be construed to include alcohol,
brandy whisky, rum, gin, beer, ale, por-
ter and wine and in addition thereto any
spirituous vinous, malt or fermented liq
uor, liquids or compounds, whether medi-
Gated, proprietary, patented or not, and
by whatever name called containing one
half of one per centum or more of alcohol
by volume, which are fit for use for bev-
erage purposes
You will note that manufacture of wine
which is Intoxicating in fact, is prohibited
in the home. That is the one-half of one
per centum limitation which is applicable
to liquor generally, as contained in sec
ton 2, above, does not apply to fruit
juices manufactured in the home, but the
test of Intoxicating character as to such
beverages is as contained in Section 33B
above quoted, viz: The prohibition is
against liquors which are non-into%icat-
ing in fact.
1t has been held under similar provi-
sions of the Volstead act, that convic-
ton cannot be had for manufacturing
cider or fruit juices containing more
than one-haf Of one per Gene alcohol ex-
cept on showing such beverage is in fact
Intoxicating. Isner V. u. S., 8 Fed. (2d)
487. u. S. v. Hill, Fed, (2d) 954 is to
the same effect. Neither the Isner case
nor Hill case, as I read them, hold that
fruit juices may be manufactured legally
for beverage purposes. The attorney gen
eral of this state gives it as his opinion
under our law (Illinois Attorney General

They went along Main street and turned in at the Hotel York, a move which further aroused the officers suspicious, so he and Officers George Collins and NJ. J. Moore decided to follow.
 Officer Collins went through the Burritt school yard, while the other officers went through the alleyway route taken by the boys In the rear of the hotel, they found closed car from which the markers had been removed and thrown under an incinerator.\ Two of the boys were taken to the police station. the others having dropped from sight. but short time later, third youth was brought in and on being ques- tioned. the trio admitted the car had been stolen and they had robbed the Middletowh man of approximately $40.

Mrs. Howard s. Smith, Promi- nent Socially, Has Injured Hip
Especial to the Herald)

Plainville, May 20.-Mrs. Howard s. Smith of Pennington avenue. . prominent local society woman, was injured at 11:15 o'clock this morn ing in a collision between her auto mobile and one operated by Marion Queeney of Morningstde Terrace, N. J., at the corner of West Main street and Forestville avenue. Mrs. Smith was going west on West Main street and continued across Forest vile avenue. The other woman, go- ing to Boston. was unfamiliar with the road and is thought to have be- lieved Mrs. Smith would turn with the trolley into Forestville avenue. The New Jersey car smashed full into the side of the local woman's. Both machines were wrecked and had to be lowed away
 Mrs. Smith was thrown against the wheel and her hips were injur- ed. Examination showed no broken bones, but she was said to be suffer- ing from shock. The New Jersey woman was not injured.

CLASS DAY C0L0RS
 ORNAMENT ANKLES
Fair Sex Adopts Novel Mode at
 High School

From prehistoric times, the fe- male of the species has instinctively "dolled herself up" Tn fine feathers to attract the male of the species. From away back in the days when man first arose from all fours and began to stand upright, and his mate put ferns and hits of palm leaves in her hair. or hung a neck lace of tiger teeth around her neck, to the present day fapper styles of short skirts, jeweled garters and other accessories, the instinct as we'll as the metod has changed but little.
 Grandmother's hustle was not by any means above suspicion, neither was the old fashioned hoop skirt, which modern criticism and exposure has dragged from its pedestal of false modesty.
 But New Britain today showed herself to be right in the front line of new and attractive ideas. Class Day at the Senior High school al- ways means the wearing of class colors. The time has gone when these colorS are worn on coat lapels, at least insofar as the fairer than ever sex is concerned.
 Class Day ribbons today were worn neatly tied with an attractive bow around the dainty ankles of the charming students. They were neat, they were pretty. they were attrac- tive. and no criticism was leveled at the wearers. Even elements agreed that the new vogue was a good one and the rain which has been drenching the city all week, held off so that even the sun could shine through and smile at the dainty bit of feminine conceit.

 Planned Trip To New York
 Bove, in his statement. said Pon. getti and Mauro were to have driv- en the other youths back to New Haven after fastening different markers to the car. as they realized the police about the state would be on the lookout for the stolen car. Pongetti and Mauro planned to continue on to New York in the car according to Bove's statement. AL though he admitted his part in the highway robbery, Bove insisted that he did not learn the car was stolen in New Haven until he reach. cd New Britain. After the Cromwell hold-up. he and his companions were given $1 each. as Onofri0 re- marked that the loot was not as heavy as he expected.
