He would find an anxiety on the part of
most Of the patrons to get out of the

Inquiries by Barleycorn might elicit the
information that coffee and milk are the
most popular cafe drinks. Then the
Times Star article says:

drink in these places, with milk run
ming second.
Payton said, 1--WE don't use more
than one barrel Of near-beer a day.
AS a matter of fact we sell more root
beer than near-beer. Most OF the
beer drinkers have become coffee
drinkers. We sell more than so gall
Ions of coffee each day, or nearly u.s.
900 gallons per year. Milk is second
in popularity. We sell about 100 gall
Ions each day.
Another cafe owner tells the Time
Star that coffee and milk are the most
popular substitutes for the gone and al
most forgotten amber fluid. He said he
sells 10 gallons of coffee daily while the
milk sale totals about 25 or 80 gallons per
day and buttermilk about Is to 20 gallons.
MILK CONSUMPTION
It is established by officials of the CO.
operative Pure Milk Association that Gin
cinnati consumes approximately seven
million pounds of milk per month or 81
millions pounds per year at the present
time. This would be about II million gal
Ions of milk per year.
The Times Star also interviewed John
Bruckmann, of the Bruckmann Company,
one of the two breWerieS engaged in the
making of near-beer in Cincinnati. Ac-
cor0iug to Bruckmann, only $4,000 barrels
are produced a year as compared to ap-
proximately 3,150,00O barrels produced in
saloon days.
The only other brewery engaged in the
manufacture of near-beer in Cincinnati
is the Cincinnati Beverage and Products
Company. This company and the Bruck-
mann Company are the sole survivors OF
the "a breweries which employed approx
mately 1000 men in the days of the "a
breWeres which employed approximately
1000 men in the days before prohibition.
Today only about 100 men are employed
in Cincinnati in the manufacture of near
beer and malt syrup.
According to statistics prepared by the
National P r Obi b tt o n Department at
Washington for the fiscal year ending
June 30 1929, only Isl ,518 barrels of near
beer were manufactured in all Ohio as
compared to 302,273 five years ago. These
statistics also show that in 1929 total OF
only 3,859,689 barrels of near-beer were
made as against approximately 66,000,000
barrels in the good "old saloon days"
Thus it is seen that not only Cincin-
natl, but Ohio and the entire country are
well content with their position on the
water wagon.

this:

Business man: "I will have cup of cof-

Hodcarrier: "Give me a glass of sweet

Policeman: MAKE mine buttermilk"
Truck driver: "A cup of hot chocolate"
Mailcarrier: Matted milk"
ANOTHER DIFFERENCE

John Barleycorn would be amazed at the

Demand for an investigation OF
methods in designating and collect
ing fees for downtown traffic load
ing zones and mo parking" spaces
will be made Tuesday at the safety
board meeting by Albert F. Meurer,
former city councilman, who is Wag-
ing a legal battle against provisions
of the city traffic code.
Meurer and his attorney, Howard
Meyer, said they would appear be-
fore the board, after Meurer was
slated today for parking in a re-
stricted zone in front of the Occi-
dental building, Illinois and Wash
ington streets, Monday night.
Meurer now is under a similar
charge for refusal to pay a 81 fine
for parking in a loading zone in
front of the Hume-Mansur building,
on East Ohoi street, more than a
week ago. He will be tried in mu-
nicipal court 8, April 3, on this
charge.

DRAVERY that made Zariah
ID Dinkins, 81, one of Indiana's
outstanding soldiers in the Civil
war, was displayed again today
when he saved his daughter, Mrs.
Emma Wilbur, 48, of 1888 West
Thirty-second street, from burn
ing to death.
Mrs. Wilbur is clinging to life
at city hospital, suffering from
severe burns. Her clothing be-
came ignited as fumes of gasoline,
with which she was spraying the
basement of her home, exploded,
drenching her with the inf1an1-
mable fluid.
Screaming and with clothing
afire, Mrs. Wilbur. ran to the
head of the basement stairs, but
was unable to open the door.
Dinkins, ran from the next room,
ierked open the door. Stripping
off his coat, he threw it around
her and beat out the flames as
she staggered into the kitchen.
II
JAMES H. DINKINS, brother of
y Mrs. Wilbur, who was painting
a nearby house, ran home and
aided his father.
Hospital physicians say Dinkins'
heroiSm saved his daughter from
immediate death. She may re-
cover.
DinkinS told police Mrs. Wilbur
was spraying the fluid to exter-
inmate insects in the basement,
when the fumes were ignited by
the furnace fire.
Dinkins is one Of the two sur
vivorS of Company H of the Nine
tenth Indiana Civil war regiment.
His company was one of those
which campaigned through Geor-
gia prior to the southern sur
render.
