Due to the kindness of Mrs. Irenee

endeaVors of the Delaware Commits
sion for the Blind, particularly those
of its superintendent, Mrs. Anne
Rowe Stevens. Camp Lands is now

Groups of from IL to II men, wo-
men and children come alternately
for periods of two weeks each to
profit by the healthy food and envir-

tertainments offered. Generous and
almost daily treats" of watermelon,
ice cream or candy are appreciated
to the utmost.
Many residents of this community
did not know that such camp was
in existence. 1t is most worthy
project.
Miss Molly Donovan is one of
those who has enjoyed vacation at
Camp Lands for three summers.

should predictions of early repeal OF

way of comparison to the 100000
gallons now ON hand as against the
1877 100000 gallons consumed in 1917.
Prospects were reported small for
supplying any siZeable demand for
properly aged whiskey for two years
or longer except through importa-
ton of foreign liquors, the duty on
which might result in high prices.
OF the 100000 gallons now stor-

After that, 100000 gallons a year
will become marketable until a new
supply that would be permitted if
the Eighteenth Amendment should
be repealed. had aged sufficiently to
go ON the market.
Under the present law, whiskey
must be aged four years before it
can be sold. The government re-
sumed the distillation of medicinal
whiskey in 1929 at the rate of mil
lion gallons a year The first of the
new whiskey will be on the market
this fall, while about 100000 gal
Ions of older whiskey rests in the
warehouses of the country.
The 100000 gallons of whiskey
that could be put on the market now
under repeal would be about one
thirty-seventh of the consumption OF

gan to be felt.
