NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

---A
 Dona rode down the trail slowly Stan Balls black mare did moi want to go. The horse kept turn. 1ng her head and edging off the trail. But she remembered that her master had given her orders to obey the slender girl 50 she made q half-hearted attempt to step along.
 The lumberjack who was acting as Dona's escort did not seem to mind riding slowly. He was out of place in the saddle and his big, rawboned frame jolted up and down when his horse trotted.
 Torn between q wild eagerness to be back with her father and fear that all was not well on the back trail, Dona rode along. Dud. ley scarcely entered her thoughts. So many strange things had hap pened in the past week, 50 many amazing twists of, fate, that life had begun to seem unreal. Always & girl who made decisions rapidly and drove straight to finish, she was surprised at her present state of uncertainty.
 She could not understand Stan- ley Ball with .his clear gray eyes, his chivalry toward her and his fear1essness in the fact of death it. self. How could . man like that be an outlaw and killer? The. Ques- tion kept pounding in her brain as she rode.
 The black mare's l1oofs clicked on the trail with an even rhythm and soon Dona's thoughts were beating to the same measure. Ball had admitted that he was guilty of all the charges against him. That men as he had shot her father, kill ed a ranger and wounded several men, Dona was back exactly where she had started. But a man who had committed such crimes would never have treated her with the respect and dignity that Ball had shown each time they had met.
 The escort was riding ahead now. He had eased himself in the saddle by throwing one leg around the horn and his body jolted gro- tesque1y as his horse plodded along along. Dona. watched him narrowly.
 she slowed her horse little to see if he were watching her out of LHO JhlL OL lIo CyCs AhO IlAn SAOW CuS too, and she knew that he was keeping e close check on her movements. Suddenly Dona push- ed tho mare ahead and rode abreast of him.
 "Do you suppose they have the job done yet?" She motioned with her head in the direction from which they had come.
 The man looked at her, then grinned. They'll bring Him down the trail . ways, them" He jerked upward with one thumb and his grin widened.
 Donas lips went white. I'm go- ing back to put stop to it!" she cried.
 The black mare had halted. The man pulled his horse to a stop. "No use to butt in." he growled.

be determined only by jury in a
court of law. The Prohibition Bureau
has no authority to say that such bev-
erages containing 8, S, 10 or so per
cent of alcohol are intoxicating The
only method by which the Federal Gov
ernment under this provision of the
law can determine whether such bev-
erages are intoxicating is to institute
proceeding and submit the question
to jury.
"In the celebrated case of former
Representative John Philip Hill, tried
in the Federal Court at Baltimore, the
jury held that his IL per cent home
made wine was non-intoxicating The
Federal Government has not brought
another case; therefore, under the law
as it now operates millions of house
holders are manufacturing wines and
elders in their homes regardless of their
alcoholic content. The Federal Gov
eminent does not challenge their right
to do So Therefore, in the
Federal prohibition law as it stands to-
day there are two widely divergent, If
not conflicting, definitions of intoxi-
eating liquors-one in specific terms
defining an intoxicant as any beverage
containing as much as one-hah of l
per cent of alcohol and the other so
indefinite that only jury in a court
of law can determine what constitutes
an intoxicating liquor"
Defining Tntodcation.
On this question of intoxication
scientists are widely divided, as was
apparent at hearings on beer bills be-
fore the Senate subcommittee of the
Committee on Manufacturers last Win
ter. This testimony shows the difficulty
in defining intoxication.
Matthew Woll, vice president Of the
American Federation Of Labor, put
into the record statement from DR..
Glenworth Reve Butler, editor and au-
thor of Diagnosis of Internal Medi-
cine" which said Alcohol, like fever,
may be said to be a measure of cerebral
resistance. The unstable predisposed
individual becomes intoxicated much
more readily than the normal person"
Woll quoted DR.. William Osler, famous
physician, as saying: "One Of the most
powerful enemies Of the American
stomach in the present day is the
soda-water fountain, which has usurped
SO important place in the apothecary
shop
For the drys, DR.. Arthur D. Bevan
of Chicago testified to the harm from
alcohol, declaring that in "Osler's six
volume book on modern medicine,
written by hundred Of the best au-
thorities In this country and in Can
Evening star., 1932-11-16

ada, there Is very little evidence any
where in this six volumes of the use of
alcohol as therapeutic agent Of value.
On the other hand, in the index there
are 80 references to the injurious ef-
| feet of alcohol. DR.. Bevan estimated
that about three quarts of beer would
be Intoxicating"
| On the other hand, DR.. William F.
Lorenz of the University Of Wisconsin
told the committee he regarded beer as
! a food.
81 regard beer as a food and a good
beverage and not intoxicating in the
amounts that one could"
Here he was interrupted by Senator
Hatfield with the question: What per
cent would you consider non-intoxi-
cating?"
"I am not familiar with the percen-
tage of alcohol in beer" replied DR..
Lorenz, "but ranging somewhere around
3 or 4 per cent"
How much. in your opinion, could
the human stomach comfortably hold
in the way Of fluid, such as beer, say?"
queried Senator Hatfield
Not Regarded Intoxicating.
We'll" answered the doctor, 'it de-
pends upon the stomach. should say"
rShcQ II Tie lLlJOAlCdLlOn from Deer,
on a six-pint ration, would be sufi-
cient to call it intoxicating, Dr. Lorenz
replied: mo, 90 not think it is in
toxicating. I do not regard it as in
toxicating."
Thus, it is pointed out by lawyers
who have carefully studied the consti-
tutional phases of the beer question,
that the 'toxicability" of the proposed
beer presents questions which no doubt
will lead through long litigation to the
Supreme Court Of the United States
again before there is any possibility of
repeal of the eighteenth amendment.
How these questions will reach the
highest tribunal is not clear yet, either
to the vets or the drys. If the prohi-
bition enforcement officials to be ap-
pointed by wet President-elect Roose-
velt do not take these cases to the
courts, the drys claim they can find
a way to test their constitutionality.
Much, no doubt, will be heard in the
near future of the two different ways
of measuring the alcoholic content of
beer. As explained by DR.. James M
Doran, former prohibition commits
sioner, now head of the Bureau of In
dustrial Alcohol, and himself a chem
ist, the well known 2.75 per cent is the
measurement by weight, which figures
out about 3.44 per cent by volume.
Beer before prohibition, DR.. Doran ex-
planned, had about 4 to Al per cent

Investigators had been unable to find

he said. Some of the beer bills in the
past Congress called for 2.75 by weight,
which would be 3.44 by volume, while
one called for 80 by weight, which
would be about 400 by volume.
The Crusaders, wet militant organiza-
ton, are fully convinced that when
beer arrives, as they expect it to under
the Constitution, it can be sold without
question in the District Of Columbia.
A study of the situation has convinced
him, said Rufus Lusk, secretary of the
Crusaders, that no previous legislation
would prevent the sale here of what
ever kind of beer Congress would au-
thorize.

IRISH TAX MEASURE
PUSHED IN ENGLAND
Bill for 100 Per Cent Duties
Reaches Second Reading

LONDON, July Great Britain's
plan to tax Irish Free State goods in
retaliation for the Free States failure
to pay land annuities moved a step
further last night when the bill author
izing such tariffs was given second
reading in the House of Commons by
vote of 32l to Al.
Second reading was moved by j H.
Thomas, secretary for dominions, who
said the government was reluctant to
go through with the measure, which
empowers the government to impose
special duties on Irish goods up to 100
per cent.
Issuance of the text of the measure
revealed the government is prepared
to combat a threatened repudiation by
the Free State of the entire financial
agreement with Great Britain, gen.
eral default which the government de-
clares was limited at in the last Free
State note. The present measure does
not mention any specific obligation.

ment of the Free State to state the
