Dry Law Termed Hypocrisy.
With the subject of prohibition thrown
into the Senate debate, Senator Tydings

farmers to make and to have in their
homes for beverage purposes hard-cider
and alcoholic wines. After pointing out

lenged any dry member of the Senate
to offer an amendment which would
take away from the farmer his right
to make cider and keep it in his cellar
until it would become an intoxicating
beverage.
The Maryland Senator read from the
regulations issued by the Prohibition
Bureau which make 1t possible for
farmers to have cider made and placed
in the homes without interference. He
called attention to the fact that soon
after the cider is produced and placed
in the homes it will become intoxicat-
ing. The Maryland Senator again called
attention to the fact that the national
prohibition law permits unfermented
grape Juice to be sold without limit, and
that once this grape juice is in the home
1t can be turned into wine. Many con-
Germs, ne Sald, make business OF pro-
viding the grape juice to the home own

Amount Of Raises Higher.

1t will be noted in these tables that
the salary steps are larger than those
in the present classification act. This
means, as a general rule. each advance
ment in pay from one salary rate to thc
next higher will be of greater amount
than is the case at the present time.
Special salary diferentials are recon-
mended to Offset such factors as isola-
ton. hazard and service outside the

The board believes the relatively few
employees whose salaries are at present
too high in comparison with proposed
pay schedules should not receive a SAL
airy cut as a result of the extension of
classification TO the field service.
Concerning the field. the board con-
cludes that there is now a great need

that under existing conditions there IS
no uniformity Of pay for similar work.
