U. S. SUPREME
COURT is BIG
BEER HURDLE
What Tribunal viii Say on
Alcoholic Content All
important.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staf Correspondent

fCoDYrlght. 1882. bV united PreSSl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The job
Of the brewers IN trying to get
beer law through within the boun-
diaries of the eighteenth amendment
is essentially job of undoing what
they did seventy years ago.
During the Civil war, brewers
forced into law for taxation pur-
poses the present limit of less than
one-half of l per cent alcohol by
volume.
Now they hope to persuade con-
gress and the supreme court to let
2.75 per cent or possibly 80 per
cent beer slip by as non-intoxicat-
ing under the eighteenth amend
ment.
Brewers have been called to meet
here this week with their chief
Washington agent Levi Cooke, to
prepare their case for presentation
to the house ways and means COM
mittee next week. They claim that
early definition purely was an arbi-
trary limit for tax purposes and
had nothing to do with what was.
actually intoxicating.
Made Law in Civil War
The present definition went into
law when brewers, during the Civil
war, complained that certain manu-
facturers of a weak malt beverage
we're escaping taxation, and that it
was unfair competition.
The brewers, when asked what
percentage of alcohol rendered
beer intoxicating, decided upon
one-half of l per cent.
AS the post Civil war prohibition
movement developed, the definition
employed by internal revenue col
lectors generally was adopted.
At the time federal prohibition
became effective, states had enact
ed into law various definitions as
follows:
Sixteen states listed Intoxicating
beverages without specifying alco-
holic content.
Eighteen states used the one-half
of l per cent limit.
Six states used 1 per cent.
One state used the presence of
the alcoholic Nprinciple.
Two states, Louisiana and Mon
tana, used 2 per cent.
One state, Rhode Island used
2.75 per cent.
Argument Is Endless
Argument is endless as to what
the supreme court would do. 1t has
never rendered a definition of what
constitutes an Intoxicating beverage.
In the test case on the Volstead act,
the courts majority opinion held
that congress has stayed within its
power in fixing the = per cent limit.
1t said:
While recognizing that there are
limits beyond which congress can
not go in treating beverages as with
in its power of enforcement, we
think those limits are not trans
cended by the provisions of the Vol
stead act wherein liquors containing
as much as p of per cent of alco-
hol by volume and fit for beverage
purposes are treated as within that
power"
1t is an old saw that the supreme
court follows the election returns.
This is why many persons here, try
ing to guess what the court will do
if such a beer bill comes to it, say
that the court will not challenge the
judgment of congress as to what is
intoxicating provided this definition
does not run counter to- common
experience.

LOWER TARIFF
HOPE OF TWO
FARM KINGS
C. {. Troyer, La Fontaine
Grower, Is Named as
Best Corn Raiser.
BY RAY BLACK
United Press star Corresnondent

INTERNATIONAL AMPHITHE-
ATER. STOCK YARDS, CHICAGO,
Dec. 1.-The cattle king and the
corn king of the 1882 International
Livestock Exposition, both Demo-
Gratis, believe lower tariffs will put
the farmer back on his feet
Both think the governments ef-
forts to aid the farmer has done
some good and some harm
Both believe the return Of pros
perity depends on bringing back the
day when the farmer can go into
town and buy new dress for his
wife, or a compact for his daughter,
or new tire for his sons runabout
without exhausting his bank ac-
count"
Both these men are prosperous,
despite the depression. One is
rancher on 1000 acres in Texas. The
other is a grain farmer on 200 acres
along the banks of the MississineWa
river in upper central Indiana.
Worry About Little Fellow
What we need to worry about is
the little fellow-the farmer who
can't quite make both ends meet"
said William j. bill Joe) Largent.
This slim, youngiSh Texas cattle
man, whose big ranch lies 1870 miles
west Of TT. Worth Tex, entered the
steer that won the grand cham
pionship at this years International
Livestock Exposition, now in prog
ress.
A slightly different slant was
given by the corn king" C. E..
Troyer whose river bottom farm
is near La Fontaine, Ind. His ten
cars of Reds yellow dent corn was
adiudged the grand champion ex-
hibit in the International Hay and
Grain Show.
"A great crop failure would do
the farmers Of the land more good
than any other one thing" Troyer
said. That would use up the sur
plus and everybody could start in all
over"
Lower Tariffs Urged
Largent, whose champion steer,
Texas Special, is to be auctioned
off today, believes that lower tariffs
would benefit the people in the
southwest. He does not fear
competition from Mexican cattle,
explaining his view that they can
not compete in quality with Amer
lean cattle.
i think the home loan banks
have done some good by lending the
little farmer enough so he could put
in and harvest his crops" Largent
said. Otherwise, I don't know
what single agency can be depend
cd on to bring back the day when
the farmer can spend money free
~ and thus bring back prosperity to
the whole country"
A crop failure, Troyer believes.
would do more to solve the agri-
cultural problem than any legisla-
tlon He contends, however, that
II congress would do as much for
the farmer as it has for the manu-
facturer, the man on the farm soon
would be his own master again.
Confident Worst Is Over"
l believe in the theory of free
trade" Troyer said. What if the
Chinese can raise some things
cheaper than we can. Let's raise
other things that we can raise
cheaper than the Chinese"
The Indiana corn grower protest
ed against the manufacturer SELL
ing in a protected market while the
farmer has to sell in a free trade
market"
Both stock man and corn man
we're confident that the worst of
the depression is over, and that
better days are ahead for the farmer
and rancher

Hamilton made the claims while on
the stand Wednesday.
Prediction that the case would
reach the jury Friday seemed less
certain today, as Ira M. Holmes,
chief defense counsel, stated ne
would seek to have the court rule
that closing arguments have no time
limit. The trial is in its third week.
On the witness stand, Hamilton
insisted he was in lola the day the
merchant was slain and that
Witt was with him.

Fink's partner jumped to five dia-

East made very light double,
which was destined to be his ruina-

missing high cards.
The Play
East's opening lead was the ace

heart. Fink took the flnesse in
dummy and Immediately returned

His next play was small dia-
mond from dummy, but he refused
to take the finesse, as East prac-
tically was marked with the king of
diamonds by his double.
Fink now led the nine of hearts,
trumping in dummy with the three

His next play was small club
again he refused to take the f1nesse,
going right up with the king of
clubs. He then played the king of
spades, discarding club from

His other spade was ruffed in
dummy with the four of diamonds
Fink now had stripped the two
hands of spades also. so his next
play was a small diamond, throw
ing East in with the king, and now
you can see that East was helpless.
If he led a spade, Fink would
ruff in one hand and discard a
club in the other, While if club
was led, Fink was bound to make
two club tricks.
BY taking advantage Of his op-

his contract of five diamonds, dou-

WHAT'S IN FASHION,

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Ask Marie
l ' Dressler what she finds the
most comfortable thing to wear
around her home and lovely garden
on a hot summer day and she'll tell
you "A sneer cotton print" And
there, sketched, is one of them.
Thousands Of her fans will agree
with her d. that when it comes to
house, porch and garden dresses,
printed voiles, dimities and batistes
have no equal.
Unless it's the eyelet batistes,
dotted Swisses, flock dot yoiles and
handkerchief linens which are also
fashionable favorites
They like all these, too, not only
for summer, but for fall wear, in
stea heated homes. They're just
right to offset that stuffy feeling
that comes when the heat first goes
on.
Worn on Street
Many of them, especially the dark
eyelets and flock dot voiles white
dots on dark colors) are fine for
the street, too.
That's one of the incest things
about modern house dresses. They
don't have to look like uniform.
They look like any light summer
dress especially since all kinds
Of cottons are fashionable for all
kinds of dresses.
Some look like tennis frocks-
sleeveless with bows on the should
ers and diagonal seams in blouse
and skirt. These are made Of sturd-
Ter materials linene, stripes,
pique, broadcloth, checks.
Some Softer Looking
Others are softer looking. Neck
lines are frilled, trimmed with or

N\ BY JANE JORDAN /D

There is no virtue in chains, and
no vice in severing them.
If you had children, or if you
were financially destitute, would
be obliged to advise you in a diff
ferent manner, although it never
is a happy arrangement when a
marriage is maintained because of
economic necessity. AS it is, the
only course open to you, as a woman
of pride and integrity, is to free
your husband in accord with his
request.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am 80 years old.
Have been engaged, but never married.
I am not good looking, but | seem to
attract many men, can't holo them
very long, as they always are wanting
to put their hands on me. I resent that
but find they are all alike. I just
can't stand being paved over.
I want to get married to a good man,
but not to one who always is paving
me. Is this what men cali love, or am
I just too oldfashioned to understand
them?
Dear Observation-Disclosures - My
guess is that the men whom you
have known work too fast. A man
can paw any attractive woman
without being the least bit in love
with her, A man paws first and
then falls in love. A woman falls in
love first and paws afterward.
1 do not mean that a man invar-
iably falls in love, with the woman
he paws. he must have something
more to offer than mere physical
affection. But the woman in love
invariably likes caresses.
A woman always is distressed when
she discovers the difference between
her own erotic nature and mans. He
doesn't place the same Importance
on love that she does.
The impulse that makes him a
peter is not hooked up in his mind
with love. Woman feels this keen
ly and resents his advances.
If you want to get married, you
, must learn not to regard the ION
ding of your husband with disgust.
I do not blame you for withdrawing
from the clumsy caresses of sensa-
ton seekers with disgust. Buff if a
man is genuinely attracted to your
type of mind as well as your body,
what is abhorent about caresses!
n n
Dear Jane Jordan am going with a
boy whom I like. He treats me as
gentleman should treat a lady. He never
smokes, drinks, or says ugly words, and
has the best of manners. But here's
the trouble. He thinks that since we
have been going together for quite a
while, I should give him the privilege
of kissing me whenever he wants to,
but I will not allow that He says I am
not fair. Please give me some advice.
G. B.
Dear G. B.-Use your own judg-
ment and don't go too far. Once
kissing was supposed to begin only
with the betrothal, but now it has
become a proniscuous pastime. It's
a good idea to choose a safe middle
ground between two extremes.
