tubs, but the water still must be carried
into the house.
Yesterday one of the householders,
Mrs. Mary B. Cline, had a happy
thought. She would have the water
from the tanks placed in the well and
then pump it into the house, thereby
eliminating the carrying process.
1t was good idea--all the neighbors
conceded that-but, unfortunately, it
didn't work.
The driver of the tank truck emptied
$50 gallons into the welL but before
Mrs. Cline could get the pump started
it had all run out.
The idea. 1t was reported, has been
abandoned, and crooks, tubs, ETC., are

Police Can't Prove
Beer Case, Woman
Is Ordered Freed

It may look, taste and smell
like beer, but was it beer?
This question arose in Police
Court yesterday in the case of
Ethel Nash, 80 years old, of 1910
Four-and-a-half street. AS a re-
suit Judge Mattingly ordered a
verdict of not guilty.
The courts decision was based
on testimony that police had
failed to treat the beer with
chemicals to arrest fermentation
at the time of seizure. He ruled
that while the drink might have
contained an illegal percentage of
alcohol when analyzed by a Gov
ernment chemist, there was no
proof that it contained more than
one-half of one per cent Of alcohol
when taken from its owner.
The directed verdict was sug-
gested by Julian !. Richards, an
assistant District attorney.

OF a native musical background in
this story OF Negro life. Vidor made
a special effort to select players for
the leading roles Of the film who
were qualified to sing individual
numbers as well as interpret their
parts before the camera.
For example, Daniel Haynes, who
has the male lead in the picture,
was understudy for Jules Bledsoe in

Gray, S6-year-old Negro who was
chosen for a featured part in the
