Alleged by investigators

NEW YORK, Aug. 6 0N.SJ.
The task of proving that grape
bricks, soaked in water, make wine
and therefore violate the prohibit
ton law, today faced Government
prosecutors.
Their problem followed q raid
yesterday by agents of Andrew
McCampbell, prohibition admins
traitor, on the store of a concern
selling grape bricks. wine con-
centrate. Three men were ar
rested as customers jeered and
howled.
To Make Test Case
The raid was made as a test
case, following the renewal of re.
quests from Fred A. Victor, State
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, to Attorney General
Mitchell that the courts be asked
to test the legality of the sale OF
grape concentrates.
The bricks, like other wine con-
centrates, are fermentable in
water. But since, as their makers
claim, they can be used for pure
grape juices before fermentation
sets in, the Government must
prove that sale for illegal purposes
was intended,

PLYMOUTH NOTCH, VT, Aug.

does not choose to have her hair
bobbed.
That was the best information
obtainable today in connection
with the momentous question.
"Did Grace Coolidge get a
bob this summer, and If not
why?"
During and since the Coolidge
Administration, reports and de-
mails have buzzed in Washington

Coolidge wanted a bob. Another
that her distinguished husband
objected. Then that Mrs. Cool
idge's, son John objected. Still
another, Mrs. Coolidge actually
had a bob.
Women who mOtOred here to
"See for themselves" declared
Mrs. Coolidge had her hair cut.
But they were wrong. It's her
tight fitting, smart new beret,
which makes her look Is II her

Crowds Greet Globe GirdIers
And British Girl. Pangborn
And Herndon to Rest a Bit

TOKYO, Aug. 6 0.N.S3.--The
capital of Japan became the focal
point of aviation interest today as
three long-distance fliers de-
scended while japanese authorities
were making preparations to re-
ceive Col. and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh at the end of their
leisurely vacation jaunt through
the subarctic regions.
Hugh HerndOn, jr., and Clyde
PangbOrn, American airmen, who
failed in their efforts to set q
new rOund-the.wOrId record only
to lay immediate plans for non.
stop flight from Tokyo to Seattle,
arrived, here from KharbarOvsk,
Siberia.
Amy DrOEs Down
A short while before Miss Amy
johnson, daring British aviatrix.
had landed in her PusS moth
plane after a speedy flight from
London. Huge crowds were on
hand Ito greet the arriving flierS.
Miss johnson, fresh and un-
tired despite her~arduous journey.
landed at the Tachikawa airport
from Okayama, near Kobe, at
SIT p. m. (3:17 a. m, Washing
ton time).
Thirty-three minutes later Hern-
don and Pangborn landed at the
Haneda airdrome.
Herndon and Pangborn had
been held up for days at Khar-
barovsk by bad weather. When
they perceived it would be impos-
sible to break the speed record
established by Wiley Post and
Harold Gatty, they announced
that they had abandoned the at
tempt, but would continue on
around the world, attempting to
bridge the Pacific Ocean from
Tokyo to Seattle, a distance Of
approximately 1900 miles, with
out stop.
Plan Early Getaway
Thomas Ash, American airmaH1,
who has been in Tokyo for some
weeks preparing for. similar
flight, declared his investigations
showed that the latter part Of
September would be most suit
able for the Herndon-P Pangborn
jump, as the Pacific usually is
almost free from dangerous fogs
at that season.
Herndon and Pangborn indi-
Gated, however, that they would
get away sooner than that if
possible.
The American airmen said
they would make a definite de-
cision concerning the Tokyo
Seattle hop after a few days
rest. The Japanese newspaper
Asahi has offered a prize of
$4,000 for the first successful
nonstop jump across the Pacific.
The city Of Seattle has posted a
similar award, which already has
accumulated interest Of $4,000.
Miss Johnson, who was ac-
companied on her flight by C.. c.
Humphries, a British pilot, said
she would return to London in
about 10 days, probably flying
back over the same route she
took on the eastward journey.
