Milwaukee Manufacturers Told to Stop Making
 l2 Per Cent Tonic

MILWAUKEE, Wis. July 13.-- Prohibition Commissioner Doran has ordered, all Milwaukee brewers to discontinue immediately the manufacture of "12 per cent" malt tonics.
 The brewers regard this as the most severe blow to the industry since the Eighteenth Amendments passage.
 The order stated that all tonics must contain the minimum of Is per cent solids derived from malt and not more than per cent all cohol by volume.
 The brewers said this meant a loss of thousands of dollars in de- struction of tonic on hand, in pro- cess of manufacture and the vir- tual junking of machinery used in the manufacture.
 The brewers were just beginning to profit from nationwide adver- Using campaign, for the tonic, which has just been completed.

LOS ANGELES, July 13.--A new aerial navigation instrument, claim cd by it's inventor to give a pilot at glance his exact polition, is to be used by Lieut.. Harold Brom- ley, on his proposed nonstop flight from Tacoma, Wash, to Tokio, Ja- pan.
 The instrume ent, says Carl Schenck, of Los Angeles, the in- ventor, solves many of the dangers of night and blind flying and elimi- mates the necessity of a rate of climb indicator and a bank and turn indicator The device re- sembles compass with an indica- tor sticking up in the center. It is not affected by centrifugal force, the inventor says, and there is nothing to get out of order, there being only two working parts.
 One of the instruments is being installed in the Lockheed Vega plane in which Bromley, who is a Canadian aviator, hopes to fly the 4,700 miles to Tokyo in one jump, the longest nonstop solo flight ever attempted.

BUSINESS WOMEN RAISE PROBLEMS
 IN COMPETITION WITH WORKMEN

bookkeepers increased by 50O00 while servants, laundresses and kin dred occupations attracted 50,00o less women.
 Women today are shown to be employed in all but 35 of the SIP possible occupations. Tn most of these they are in competition with men. but the wages they receive are consistently lower than aver age rate for male workers.
 Figures compiled by the indus trial conference board at the close of 1927 showed that the average wage for women was $1734 week ly, or almost $l0 less than the aver age for all wage earners. The average for male workers at that time was $29.36.
 A variety of reasons for wage inequality have been assembled by inquiry among employers of wom- en workers As rule, it is stated, women regard any employment as temporary and for that reason are willing to accept lower wages. Legal restrictions on the working hours of women and the type of work suitable for them also are cited by certain industries to show why women workers are considered less valuable than men.

NEW YORK, July 13.-An investi- gator for the New York Trust com pany believes that women brought difficult problems with them to the economic world when S.500,0o0 of them decided to make their own living.
 The presence of women in in- dustry and commerce has been a factor Of importance ever since. the decade between 1880 and 1890 In that period the number of women gainfully employed increased 644 per cent compared with an increase in feminine population of 28.5 per cent.
 Until the war, however, the bulk of women workers were engaged in domestic service and special tasks which did not bring them into competition with men. The inves- tigator found that the present sit uation was brought about more by the shifting of women to trades, professions and factory work, than by any exceptional increase in the number of women employees.
 The United States census for 1910-1920 shows that the number of women working as clerks, stenog- raphers. teachers, saleswomen, tele- phone operators, trained nurses and
