Auto Registration
 Off In Connecticut
Decrease of 3.5 Per Cent Reported By State Motor
 Vehicle Department in 1882

|e The growth of the registration has been staggering, when one considers that only 30 years ago there were less than 1,500 cars In Connecticut. In 1916 the registra- ton passed the 60, ,000-mark. There were more than 100000 cars in 1919; more than 100000 in 1924 and in 1927 the registrations passed 300,000 in total.
 Registration advances in five year periods form an interesting study as follows: 1907, 1895; 1912, 26,500; 1917, S5.724; 1922, 160,491; 1927, 306,7s4; 1892, S50,716.
 With the automotive equipment now registered in the state 1t would be possible 1t has been esti- mated, to take the entire popula- ton for a simultaneous motor vehicle ride. True, trucks and busses would be called upon to carry goodly loads, but the figures indicate there would be no undue oVercrowding.

JUNEAU STILL WITHOUT BEER;
 NONE ARRIVES
Northwest Brewers Behind with Orders-No Offic-
 ial Ban on Its Sale

For another week, at least, pos sibly longer, Juneau will go without any of the 3.2 per cent beer. Not because of official ban, for officially the manufacture and sale of the beverage as well as 32 per cent wine is perfectly legal in Alaska, according to United States District Attorney H. D. Stabler.
 Brewers of the Pacific Northwest are swamped under the demand of local communities and, said ar- rivals here today from Seattle, the supply on sale does not begin to equal the demand Many people who were in Seattle when the sale opened, despite efforts to contact sources of supply, didn't even see any of the new brew, much less quaff it.
 No Bar Here
 Federal officials here have no idea of interfering with the manu- facture and sale of the beverage as long as the regulations of Federal and Territorial Governments are complied with, it was announced today by Mir. Stabler. Bootleg ging will be severely dealt with and legitimate businesses encouraged.
 MT. Stabler's statement said:
 Congress has legalized the manu- facture and sale of beer and wine alcohol not in excess of 3.2 percentum by weight, thus modifying to this extent the Ma tional Prohibition Act and the AL aska Bone Dry Act. The manu- facture and sale of beer and wine not exceeding 3.2 alcoholic content by weight in accordance with all regulations made by Congress, is therefore legal in Alaska. The AL aska Legislature now in session is
