F QUARTS OF 3.2 BEER FAIL
 TO |NT0xICATE

PATERSON, N. J., Aug. B. Michael Sciro drank twelve quarts of 3.2 beer-forty-eight eig ht- ounce steins-to prove it is not intoxicating.
 The beer was consumed in a contest, in which five others, one a woman, dropped out after the first fifteen minutes. Sciro went on for sixteen minutes more and gulped down a total of 384 ounces.
 Dr. F. F. Smith of Ridgewood then examined Sciro and found him neither liquefied nor intoxi- cated."
 When the others dropped out Dr. Smith examined them and discovered they were ''liquefied but not intoxicated"
 Dr. Smith said by 'liquefied" he meant being so thoroughly satur- ated with the fluid that the body could neither contain nor accept any more of it.

By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

WASHINGTON, Aug. B. The battle fleets of the United States will be 101 ships and 204,000 tons below treaty strength at the end of 1886, despite the bolstering of American naval power by the ad- dition of 32 vessels costing $238,- 100000 under the public works program.
 That is the outlook based on consideration of the number of old CT ships, remaining effective for service plus the tonnage now sched- uled for construction.
 Japan Up To Maximum
 On the basis of ships already built and those projected, Japan will be up to maximum strength while Great Britain will be short 64 ships and 1000 tons when the London naval treaty expires on December 31, 1886. Japan, in fact, will have an indicated surplus ton- mage of 9,387.
 The ratio of the "big three sea powers would be 9.9-9.4-7.7 instead of the 5-5-3 prescribed by the treaty, say naval experts. There is a prevalent opinion that Japan will renew her demands for parity or a 10-9-9 ratio at the naval arms limitation conference slated under terms of the London treaty to be held in 1885.
 American naval leaders so far have indicated that they would in- sist on retention of the 5-5-3 ra- tio for the three powers-Secretary swanson has said it was his opin- ion that the ratios stipulated by the Washington and London treat

ies "are fair and just and should be maintained"
 Former Secretary Adams said shortly before his retirement that nothing has happened in recent years to justify the United States lowering it's treaty ratio with re- spect either to Great Britain or Japan.
 Representative VinSon of Geor- gia, chairman of the house naval committee, takes the position that the navy, because of economy. is already on a defensive basis and that building it up to treaty 1im- its simply would give this country the defense to which it is entitled.
 Naval experts here say that, practically speaking, at the pres- ent time the United States ranks third in seapower, Japan as well as Great Britain having consider ably more modern ships in fighting trim.
 Counting ships already built and those projected, Japan will have in 1886 total of 183 war vessels of combat age. Great Britain will have l61 and the United States, l08. Japan, it is indicated, will have marked superiority over this country in number of ships and in tonnage in the submarine, de- stroyer and light cruiser classifi- cations.
 Many Japanese Submarines
 Japanese submarines will num- Der 53 as compared with 24 in Uncle Sam's navy and 39 in John Bulls sea forces. Japan will have 59 destroyers not exceeding 1,500 tons, the United States will have 24 and Great Britain 65. The Jap anese will have 24 destroyers of more than 300 tons, the United States will have eight and Great Britain none.
 Great Britain will lead in the light cruiser field with 2l. Japan will be close second with 20 and the United States will have IA. This country will top the list in the 8-inch gun cruiser class with 18, Great Britain will have IS and Japan, 12.
 The United States and Great Britain will have Is capital ships each (battle ships and battle cruis- ers) and Japan will have nine. Seven of the American capital ships. II of the British and four of the Japanese will be more than 20 years old in 1936.
 The navies of Great Britain and Japan will have six airplane car riers each while the United States will have five. American carrier tonnage, however, will exceed that of either of the other countries.

BUSINESS AND
 TRADE TREND
 STILL UPWARD
Improvement Is Emphatic According to Dun-
 Bradstreet, Inc.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Trade and business continued the upward trend during the past week with gains distributed in more direc- tions. says the -Bradstreet, Inc, review.
 Improvement is emphatic despite minor fluctuations in isolated places, says the review.
 Regarding the balance of retail purchasing against production and wholesale operations, the agency said:
 Hardened Facts
 "The fact is the consumer buy ing thus far has trailed the some what hectic gains in wholesale com mitments of industrial production but has created no cause for con- cern as the spending habit acquired under the stark grimness of the last three years is not expected to be changed with one full sweep.
 Retail inventories are still be- low normal but rapid inroads are being made into the present hold ings and will provide ample room before the Fall shipments of mer- chandise will have been received.
 Are In Black"
 Some retails are now in the black for the first time in over two years with benign influence of the blanket code to be felt immed- lately and the gap which ordinarily exists before the Fall buying move ment gets underway will have been obliterated."

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. s. The Emergency Relief Administra- ton has granted to Alaska the sum of $34,629 for unemployment relief, it was announced today by Harry L, Hopkins, Relief Admins trator. With this allocation, Fed eral relief funds have now been made available to all the States and Territories under the Relief Act.
 This is the first money for direct relief that the Federal government has granted to Alaska under the emergency act.
 The Territory this morning was advised of the above grant, it was announced by E. w. Griffin, Act ing Governor. Application for it was made last May by Gov. Troy. The sum allowed is one, third of the money expended in the Terri tory for relief of unemployment during the first quarter of the cur rent calendar year, he said.

The referee, when the demonstra-

This indicates that the Navy will con-

Lieut.. Hamilton, one Of the brainiest
foot ball players the Navy has produced
and one Of its best all-around athletes,
was quarterback and field general Of the
1926 team, the only Naval Academy
team to reach championship heights.
Since his graduation he has continued
his active connection with the game
and has coached two champion fleet
teams.
1t is possible that Hamilton may f1ll

physical training occasioned by the
departure Of Lieut.. Comdr Harvey

Comdr. Brown to that position. This is

still recall Connie Mack's starting
out to rebuild a shattered champion
ship machine back in 1906, Just after
the Giants had beaten his Athletics in
four out of five starts. He retained
Bender, Plank and a few others-and
by 1910 had McInnis, Collins, Barry
and Baker all set for another cleanup
When this team was finally dis

He picked up more than 500 ball play
