SWISS PUT TAX | 0N FRUIT LIQUOR
Funds Will Be Used for Old Age
 Pensions, Bill Provides

Berne. Switzerland. April Is P-- Schnapps, the strong fruit liquor niuch used in the country. will be harder to get and cost much more under Switzerland new legislation.
 Heavy taxes will be imposed on all alcohol and brandies under the referendum adopted April by a two to three majority. Switzerland probably will collect $5,O00,000 :, year from these taxes, half going to the Cantonal governments and half to the central government, the lat ter devoting it to financing contcm- plated old age insurance.
 Social reform, however. was the main argument in favor of the ncN law. as fruit orchards were dcvel- oped here the peasants began dis tilling their own strong liquor, mak- ing schnapps. They were free b sell it and drinkers got plenty of scnapps, not always good, for a To ' price at almost any farmhouse. Un- der the new system, anyone may brew his own liquor but only fo. his own conSumptlou.
 Alcohol of all varieties now comes under strict government control. Listilleries are to be licensed and the sale of their product will be un- der federal supervision at fixed prices. Such control is expected :9 reduce the production of alcohol: which had become very cheap, lead ing to a consumption many consid- cred excessive and harmful. Othci

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Post-
MASTER General Brown has certified
to President Hoover that the post
Office department was not guilty of
either dishonesty or incompetence
in leasing st. Paul quarters valued
at 100000 for SPOTS a year for
twenty years.
In a report made public Wednes-
day night, Brown expressed this
opinion, and also asked Mr.. Hoover
to recommend to congress a five
year building and purchasing pro-
gram to replace 1913 leased structures
with government-owned buildings.
The program would cost $43, 100000.
Browns recommendations were
the result of a study of the entire
postoffice leasing system, under
taken after Senator Blaine (Rep.,
Wis., and others had criticised it in
congress.
There is no evidence of wrong
doing on the part of any agent of
the department in connection with
the st. Paul transaction" the re-
port said.
The rental rate per square foot
was not out Of line with the rate
paid commercially for other build
ings of the same type similarly

T OS ANGELES, Sept. 25.-"God's
IL star sa1eswoman," as Aimee
Semple Mcpherson once described
herself back in the days when she
was struggling evangelist, is a
wholesaler Of religion now.
No big business" in any line oper-
ates more smoothly than her An
gelus Temple here, with cash and
property assets of 100000, as
hundreds Of employees in fifty-odd
departments pursue their daily task
Of leading sinners to salvation,
spreading the work far and wide by
means Of missions, training future
preachers, teaching music, praying
in hospitals and jails, selling books,

Gospel, which is Angelus Temple;
president of the Echo Park Evan
gelistic Association, which owns all
the property; president of the In
ternational Four Square Gospel

HERE is list that gives an idea
l. 4 of the varied activities at An
gelus temple, through which hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars are
said to flow each year:
THE CHURCH-Miss Mae Wal
dron, Mrs McPherson's secretary,
says it costs about $1,000 a week to
support the church alone and the
offerings Gust about take care of
this"
THE BIBLE SCHOOL-For the

I Of reticence that is thicker than
Newfoundland fog.
Hundreds of workers, paid and
voluntary, hustle in the fifty depart
ments. They are so efficiently or
gained and function so well that
all the schools, bookstores, publ
cations, etc., are self-supporting.
Only the church, itself, needs the
aid of the generous contributor.
Efficiency is typified by the 120
collection plates that CLEAN in two
cases set along one wall of the
temple.
Also, by the attractive display of
Mrs. McPherson's books that are
placed in cases with pictures Of the
pastor and her works where they
must be seen, inescapably, by the
thousands who visit the temple.
1t is estimated that the total
pay roll of the temple and its
branches runs between $500
and $4,000 week And there are
hundreds Of unsalaried, volunteer
workers who may be called to assist
in any department; there are 200
volunteer men ushers and 200 wom-
en- are enlisted for the same pur-
pose.
lust what Sister Aimee gets out
- of all this is hard to determine,
as one is met by reticence when
details are sought in all such mat
ters, but her income apparently is
a comfortable one. Through an
unusual arrangement, no regular
salary is guaranteed or paid.
The largest individual item seems
to be a Love Offering" which is
given to Sister Mcpherson by the
congregation on the first Sunday
of each month.
Miss Waldron refuses to say just
how much this "love offering''
amounts to, although she admits it
has never been lower than $3.50 and
that figure was reached only once.
Usually, it is believed, it hits about
90OU mOnCn.
The temples book store gets the
profits from the sale of Aimee's
books, but she gets the royalties as
the author
AS a teacher in the Bible school
which trains young evangensts of
both sexes, and somewhat resem-
bles a school of public speaking
Aimee receives the regular teachers
salary of 5000 a month.
Thus the discernible total of her
income appears to be about 5000 a
month.
TINE parsonage in which she
Il lives on the rear of the temple
property is comfortably and fairly
extensively furnished, but it be-
longs to the evangelistic associa-
ton, which holds all the church
property.
The temple furnishes the parson-
age and supplies a cook and wom-
an to clean house. Mrs. McPher-
son has no maid and usually drives
her own car, a Cadillac sedan, al
though she now has chauffeur.
Roberta, her daughter, had a
small coupe before it developed a
bad case of old age and was dis
carded. Rolf, her son, has no car.
The children make their home
with her. She is training both to
be evangelistS; Roberta has donned
the familiar flowing robes and as
sisted her mother in various ener-
