THE report on possible production Of
beverage liquor contains estimates made
by well known research workers of the
consumption of Illegal liquors in the
United States for previous years of pro-
hibition. Two investigators have re-
year 1927 and one on 1928 1t appears
that consumption of alcoholic liquor in
the United States is growing less from
year to year.
THE conclusion is that while in the
year 1914 the per capita consumption
Of alcohol upon which tax is paid and
excluding all illegal sources, was 1905
gallons per capita. these studies place
it for 1880 at .602 gallons per capita"

opportunity for diversion, From this
group about 100000 gallons were di-
vertsd last year. Ethyl acetate is an
other source of diversion, about 4, 600 900
gallons having been diverted last year
Perfumes ana toilet waters account for
about 10000 gallons Total diversion
amounts to less than per cent of the
quantity of industrial alcohol produced
in the year ending June 30. 1880.
Production OF homemade wine is
estimated from the grape production of
the United States. Grapes are of three
kinds: juice or wine grapes, raisin
grapes and table grapes. One hundred
per cent Of the wine grapes are prob
ably made into wine; 100 per cent of
fresh raisin grapes are so used; 10 per
cent OF table grapes probably are SO
used, and 10 per cent of dried raisins
Table Grapes Too Costly.
THAT table grapes are not generally
used is due to their high cost. Wine
grapes sell at about $40 a ton. Table
grapes sell at about $3.50 per ton. There
were produced in the year ending June
so, 1890:

"Deducting table grapes consumed as

able about 100000 tons of grapes for
wine purposes. One ton of grapes

homemade wine could have been made
from the grape crop during the year

The amount of wine made from
small fruits and other sources is i'm
possible to trace, but is considered as
negligible.

Mr.. E. Clemens Horst, the largest
hop grower in the United States, states
that three times as much hops are used
to make gallon of home brew as the
brewers. with scientific and economical
methods, used. Brewers used about
"a of pound of hops to produce 80
gallons of beer. Taking into considera-

brewing, the bureau has used as an in

Ions of beer based on inquiries directed
to home-brew makers and producers of

ION this basis it would have been
possible to make 3d., 032. 900 gallons of
beer in the year ending June 80, 1890.
THE sources of Smuggled liquor are
quite definitely known. BY treaty ar

Liquor Sources Given.
The principal sources of illegal liquor
were given as follows: I
For the making of distilled spirits:
corn sugar. cane or beet sugar, corn

For the making of wine: wine grapes,
table grapes, raisinS, fresh fruits and
berries.
For the making of home brew: hops
and malt.

No one can deny the importance
of having the hair arranged in
the style best suited to the indi-
vidual type Much of the effect is
lost, however, unless the hair is
kept soft, abundant, lustrous.
A million busy women. and girls
know the easiest way to keep the
hair in perfect condition is with
Danderine. The first application
will show you how marvelously it
removes excess oil from the hair,
cleanses it; makes it sparkle with
new life and luStre. It's so simple
to use Danderine. All you do is
put a little on your brush each
time you arrange your hair! The
consistent use of Danderine will
dissolve the worst crust of dan
druff; soothe, heal the scalp;
stimulate the growth of long,
silky abundant hair.
Danderine isn't sticky or oily;
doesn't show. It makes the hair
easy to manage; holds it in place
for hours. set" your waves with
it and see how much longer they

at SOVIET PLIERS GIVEN THANKS BY COMPARES
Governor Officially Thanks Russians for Part Tn
 Eielson Relief

The appreciation of Alaska for the part taken by the Russian fliers in the Eielson- -Borland search and recovery of the bodies of the American fliers was officially ex- pressed this morning by Gov. George A. Parks to Commander Slipenov and Mechanician Fahreg who are members of the funeral escort aboard the steamer Alaska.
 While that vessel was in port today the Russian airmen called on the Governor, extending to him from the Soviet Air Ministry greet ingS and an offer of cooperation in such instances as the search for Col. Eielson and Mechanician Bor- land. The flier and his mechanic ian were guests of the local Rus sian colony at dinner here today.
 Cooperation
 Speaking through Sam Gazoff, Chairman of the Russian Reception Committee, as interpreter, Con- mander Slipenov, who speaks no English, told the Governor they were glad to have been able to render assistance. He added that he had been requested by the So- viet Air Ministry to say to the Governor that it was ready to CO., operate at any time under similar circumstances and to lend assist ance whenever the need should arise
 Acknowledging the offer of CO., operation, Gov. Parks responded that Alaska would be glad to re- ciprocate, and reiterated his thanks for the work done in recovering the bodies of the American fliers by the Russians. He gave the Rus sians cordial invitation to call on him on their return trip to the North which will be within 30 days.
 Commander Slipenov said their present orders only permitted them to go as far as Seattle. He ex- poets new orders there, and these may authorize him and his com- panion to accompany Eielson's body to Hatton, N D., where it will be inferred
 Death Instantaneous
 The condition of the bodies of the American fliers indicated that the plane was travelling at fairly high rate of speed, it was indicated by Slipenov's description. Both of Col Eielson's arms were fractured and he had suffered severe wounds about the face and head Bor- lands body was also badly smashed by the force of the impact. From all indications, death to both was practically instantaneous.
 Eielson, apparently, had been fly- ing just above the ground. follow ing a lagoon, looking for a landing place. The plane evidently struck bank of the lagoon and crashed.
