M. L. Harvey northwest prohibit

grocery stores selling the specific
kind of malt used in making beer
would be subject to investigation as
well as the specialized malt shops.
We will proceed against any shop
or store whenever we secure evil
dence that the proprietor is violat-
ing the law, Mr.. Harvey said. The
fact that a man is running legiti-
mate grocery store will not exempt
him from raids if we find that he
also is selling illegal malt prepare

Idea of Broadcasting
Fire Alarm Not Modern

Methods of transmitting news Of
fire are very old and until about
the middle of the Nineteenth CEN
fury watch towers with alarm bells
were maintained in American cities.
After the development of the cleo
trio telegraph, reliable apparatus
was installed. AS early as 1S45
DR.. w. F. Charming Of Boston pub
lished an article in the Advertiser
outlining a fire-alarm telegraph sys-
tenn. In 1850 Charles Robinson
used Morse alphabet for signaling
fire alarms from police stations and
engine houses in New York city to
watchmen at tower bells, who
sounded the signal Of the appropri-
ate district. A telegraph signal
plan was put into operation In Bos-
ton, April %, 1852. New York in
stalled a fire-alarm telegraph sys-
tenn in 1869 and by 1878 It had
reached to Is cities. Although va
rious systems are in use, that de-
vised by Claiming and Farmer and
improved by Gamewell has been the
one most generally employed in
America. The keyless door was
patented by Tooker in 1875 and the
automatic keyless door by N. II.
Suren in 1895.

statement on wintre wheat varieties
issued by the department of agri-

superintendent of the Southeast
Experiment Station at Waseca; and
by H. X. Hayes, of the University

They pointed out that for 16
years winter wheat has averaged
28.3 per cent better in returns per
acre than spring wheat. In this
period there were severe epidemics
Of stem rust in four years and dur
ing these years winter wreat re-
turned 82.4 per cent more per acre

Progress in growing of spring
wheat is also attributable in part,
to the Development of a winter

Problem of Handling New Crop

Blu Carried Over

Duluth, July 2s-Shippers and
railroad representatives met here
Tuesday and discussed ways and
means of moving and storing the
1880 grain crops without undue con-
fusion.
Advance indications of the con-
tents of reports to be given show
that, while there are sufficient cars
available for the crop this year,
country and terminal elevators will
have very little storage capacity
available because of the heavy car
yy-over from 1928 and 1929. Those
close to the situation said that ter
minal and country elevators would
be filled in two weeks unless the
grain is held back and marketed in
an orderly manner.
The carry-over of 1928 and 1929
grain amounts to approximately
100000 bushels in both public
and private warehouses, leaving
space for around 100000 bushels
available for the years crop, &C

To Take Wildfowl Cansus

U. S. Biological Survey sponsoring
Work of Unusual Interest to
Huntsmen

New York, July pa census of
the waterfowl resources of the
United States, to be made on the
basis of banding returns, is con-
sidered by the u. S. Bureau of BIZ
illogical survey to be a practical
method of judging the seasonal
fluctuation in the numbers Of
ducks and kindred specie, accord
ing to information received by Car
los Avery, President of the Ameri-
can Game Protective Association,
who urges that all sportsmen CO.
operate to make such a census sue
cessful. All should report bands
to the survey bureau at Washing
ton, D. G.
Frederick G. Lincoln, associate
biologist of the bureau, who is au-
thor of a circular, Calculating Wat
erfowl Abundance on the Basis of
Banding Returns" bases his esti-
mates on the relation that exists
between the number of ducks band
ed each year and the number of
these banded ducks killed in the
next hunting season.
ITO assume a case" writes Mr..
Lincoln, if in one season 5000
ducks were banded and yielded 600
first-season returns, or II per cent,
and if that same season the num-
Der of ducks killed and reported by
sportsmen were about 100000 then
100000 would be equivalent to ap-
proximately IL per cent of the wat
erfowl population of 100000 for
that year. 70 assume further; if
in the following season, another s.
900 ducks were banded, and should
again yield about 600 first-season
return records, but total kill Of
100000 birds fewer then the total
duck population for that year would
be about 37,500,0O0 or an indicated
decrease of 100000 in the CONT
mental waterfowl population. AL
though such figures would only be
approximations, they would have
merit because they would be based
on facts that appear to stand in a
definite relationship to each other"

A. ]. Volstead, De-
fines Forbidden Malts
Fully Explains What The Prohibit
ton Department Considers
Legal, Illegal Products

st. Paul, Juy 27-Widespread con-
fushion concerning the status of the
various classes of malts and malt
preparations Saturday brought
from Andrew j. Volstead defini-
ton of what the prohibition depart
ment considers a legal preparation.
In general, the legal advisor to
the northwest prohibition forces
said, the brands of malt sold in cans
at malt shops and grocery stores is
sold contrary to law because, in the
eyes of the dry forces, it is intended
primarily for making homebrew.
This is true, he said, of both the
kind that contains hops, and that
kind that in it's original state does
not contain hops, but which may be
readily mixed with hops or hop ex-
tract.
Mr.. Volstead said he wished to
make it clear that in using the word
malt he meant only the malt used
for making beer. Exceptions, he
said, are medicinal malt beverages,
preparations used as food for in
fants and invalids, and for baking.
It is my conviction, Mr.. Volstead
said, that malt extract that contains
hops or hop extract has no other
use than as material for the ILL
egal manufacture Of homebrew
beer. Whenever you can find a
reputable person who has been in
the habit Of purchasing malt ex-
tract that contains hop extract for
use in cooking, I am willing to con-
slider the question Of whether any
honest merchant can sell such malt
linnocently. Dealers repeatedly have
been challenged to produce any
such evidence, but so far we have
found no one who could make such
proof.
We do not contend that malt
extract not favored with hops may
not have a legitimate use. A GER
tain amount, but very small one,
of that class Of malt is being used
by few bakers and perhaps by
some housewives for legitimate uses.
The bakers, however. do not buy It
| in small cans. and they buy malt
extract that differs from that sold

Treatment Of Veterans
in Civil Hospital Urged
No Use Sending Former Service
Men Long Distances, Says st.
Paul Physician.

Danger of making more and more
World war veterans into institu.
tionalized cases in Veterans Bureau
hospitals is one important reason
for handling many such cases in
local hospitals throughout the
United States, DR.. E. A. Meyerdine

DR.. Meyerding dicussed his pro.
posal before. the Associations
House Of Delegates in Duluth last
week for Government disability
policies for the veterans.
Another prime consideration in
favor Of this plan, he previously
pointed out, is to save the Govern.
ment millions of dollars for erection
of additional Federal hospitals.
The proposal advanced by DR.
Meyerding grew out of extended
discussion among physician dele.
gates of the medical body about all
problems relating to care of the
sick former soldier, he said. It won

Applying his Duluth proposal
DR.. Meyerding said his plan calls
for a simple insurance companies

most respects, the ordinary indust.
rial policy. With this policy the vet.
eran could apply for medical or to

bilities and unnecessarily institu.
tionalized, even pauperized when
they become inmates of Govern.
ment institutions, DR.. Meyerdine
said.
The number of these cases will
increase immeasurably as the vet.
Grams get older. They are likely to
become a serious aggravation to the
whole American social problem.
Veterans are entitled to the best
and wisest care in the power of the
Government to give them. But it is
my opinion that many OF them
could get such care much better in
their own homes or hospitals OF
their own choice. The Government
at the same time would be spared
millions of dollars in further hos.
pital building programs and the
personnel to staff them.
Civilian hospitals all over the
country now face serious deficits
largely because there are empty
beds in all of them amounting tc
between 80 and 40 per cent of the
total number If these beds could be
used by veterans, paid for out OF
their insurance policies, deficits
could be be reduced and with them
the cost of hospital care to the en-.
tire population.-St. Paul Pioneer
