annals of college rowing.
 Competition has never been so hot as it promises to be for the 32nd renewal of the great Pough- keep5ie battle of blades, but it has always been bit too keen to keep any one college from monopolizing all three races. Not once since the three-mile junior varsity pull was added to the four-mile varsity and two-mile freshman races in 1916 has any institution been able to capture more than two of the three, although Cornell succeeded in sweeping the river back in the days when the j. V. was a four cared race.
 It is likewise true that rarely if ever has college fleet come up to Poughkeepsie with a record to match that of the current Colum- bia Armada whose varsity has beat en six rival shells and it's Jayvees and freshmen five apiece without a single setback

 Twenty-Five distilleries were mak- ing Irish whiskey ten years ago. Now there are only five. Breweries have dwindled from 19 to IA.
 Taation, remaining at it's high est war figure, has increased five fold the cost of "a drink" and con- sumption has fallen sharply in consequence.
 The traffic in illicit whiskey- 'poteen"-has also cut into the trade deeply, despite drastic penal ties. All told whiskey production has decreased by 300,000 barrels since 1926.
