With his enforcement organiza-
ton completed, Brig. Gen. Lincoln
c. Andrews paused to take stock be-
fore sending his new army into bat
tie with the bootleggers. He took
steps to furnish his soldiers with
bright and shiny weapons in the
form of regulations governing the
flow of industrial alcohol, beer,
wine, and medicinal whiskey into
channels of consumption.
He soon discovered an amazing
situation. Rum Row and smuggling
across the canadian and Mexican
borders. it appeared, did not provide
more than 10 per cent of the Illicit
liquor reaching Americans uncon-
verted to the wisdom or holiness of
the Volstead Act.
The chief and best brands, he
learned. were made in America
products.
He found that under an ancient
internal revenue act the Treasury
still issued licenses for manufacture
Of 200 gallons of taX-free wine an
nually. Though this provision COL
lided head-on with the Volstead act,
legal experts had forgotten it for
five years after the nation went dry.
Thousands of Licenses Out.
But many humble, artless folk
knew of the loophole. There were
$4,000 such licenses outstanding in
California. and 10000 more in other
parts of the country.
When General Andrews rescinded
the order, there came a storm of
protests from California, a state
which grows good grapes and good
Republicans. Foreign-born Amer
leans. who had voted the, Harding
Coolidge ticket in 1920, sent able
counsel to argue against the An
drews order.
The resembling order was not re-
voked, but the compliments went
away satisfied that the Government
would not deprive them of their
wine. The treasury took the posi-
ton it would not be illegal as long
as it did not know of the violation.
So home manufacture was and is
tolerated.

sources of good IS per cent Bur-

NEW BOWLING
GAME AT RIVERSIDE

"Skee ball." a new bowling game
at Riverside park, is becoming pop
ular and each afternoon and eve
ming the alleys are crowded with
players of both sexes, and during
the last week most of the Butler
College athletes have taken to the
sport. Archie Chadd, basketball
and baseball star, has become par
ticularly adept at the new game
and has been trimming all corners.
The alleys used for skee ball are
apparently regulation drives, except
for a hump in the runway about ten
feet from the far end. This causes
the ball to fly into the air and land
in one of a number of circular, tub
like receptacles on the rear wall.
These have different values, and an
automatic counter shows the score
at all times. In fact, the game is
entirely automatic, the nine balls
for a game being released to the
player when ne drops a nickel in a
slot.
Skee ball Is but one of a number
of new features at Riverside this
summer. No admission is charged
to the park this year.

Visitors to the park would hardly
recognize new Broad Ripple Park

one hundred feet in width, and
which runs from the loading sta

description.
Chief among the new fun makers
is "Bluebeard's Palace" huge fun

laughter from those who start a
pilgrimage through its weird inner
recesses. Other attractions that bid
for popularity are Custer cars, The
Whip, Riddle Aeroplane, Merry

Replying to an allegation of Cor

Saturday:

liquor into the hands of the boot
leggers, General Andrews proposed
that the Government purchase,
store and supervise the handling
of the remaining whisky stock.
But President Coolidge and Mr..
Mellon promptly stepped on the idea
as fantastic and impossible. Such a
step toward socialism, they seemed
to feel, might provide a pernicious
precedent.
But now General Andrews is
spending his last days in office per-
suading 90 distillers to form few
corporations to manufacture whis-
key under government supervision.
The plan is much less satisfactory
than his original one. for there is
no assurance that courts will up
hold the voluntary agreements,
should a lone wolf seek permission
to set up a distillery of his own.
Unfairness Is Revealed.
For several reasons General An
drewS also suggested that the dry
laws should be amended to forbid
manufacture of fruit" beverages of
more than one-half of one percent
of alcoholic content. Under exist
ing conditions the urban element is
cut off from its cereal" beverages,
while country jewellers can make the
finest brandies, wines and cider
from the fruit of their orchards. But
again the dry chiefs proposal was
unheeded.
1t was in his campaign to check
the diversion of industrial alcohol,
however, that Andrews ran into his
deepest difficulties-and Pennsyl-
vania politics. The Treasury Depart
ment's backings and filings here
form one of the most amazing chap
tiers of the history of prohibition ad-
ministration.
