Des Moines, July 30 UP) - "Whoopee" qualities of five-and-ten- cent bayrum are being discussed at the bar of Des Moines court to- day.
 Municipal Judge Ralph E. Powers .s endeavoring to decide whether the lotion is an intoxicating beverage or merely soothing after-shaving balm.
 Case Arouses Attention
 The matter is arousing consider able attention Tn view of the unsuc- cessful light dry" forces recently made to have near beer banned from Iowa because some citizens were known sometimes to add alco kolic spikes"
 Tpe bayrum case involves two Des Mones five and ten cent stores with nigh priced legal talent fighting the county attorney to have 5000 bottles of the lotion, seized at the stores, condemned as liquor. If successful Adams intends asking injunctions prohibiting further bayrum sales at this store and other stores which have handled lt in the past. Prior 10 last May. bayrum was sold with impunity over the counters of the ten-cent and drug stores. Then came a police raid on down. town store. More than 1900 three ounce bottles of the lotion, selling at 10 cents each, were confscated. Manager s. A. Plankey was charged

 Two weeks later the police sponge" squad visited second store, this one within the shadow of the golden dome of Iowas capitol. Two thousands more bottles were hauled away. Manager Neal Me Carthy was arrested.

 To get 10 the bayrum counter, the raiders had to pass a counter loaded with cans of malt, yeast, copper tvb- ing and other ingredients for kitchen brewery work. These things they did not heed.
 Both raids were preceded by buys" made under Adams direc- tion. The lotion. the buyers said contained 50 per cent alcohol. l. wasn't an unpleasant drink by any means, they reported. And it had "llick,' they agreed.
 Adams insisted many men unable 10 pay the current prices for alco- hol-(very little "moonshine" is available here)-bought bayrum to satisfy their cravings for the "rea. stuff Many. he said. purchased a dozen bottles at time.
 The stores attorneys maintained that barring the sale of bayrum would mean the banning of almost all lotions and extracts and numer- GUS patent medicines The state code, they pointed out, makes no provision for action such as Adams and his raiders took
