holt distillery, with $1,000 gallons
Of mellow whisky, TO National
Distillers, is emblematic of the
change in the industry. This dis
tillery, at Broad Ford, Pa, has
been making whisky since two
years before the war of 1912. 1t is
the distillery in which A. w.
Mellon once had an interest.
National Distillers created an
ether sensation by offering the
strangest dividend ever declared
by an American corporation. 1t
had on hand some TOO 900 cases Of
whisky in the wood more than
fifteen years. It decided to dis
tribute a part Of this to stock
holders.
ON Oct. l, 1884, this huge COM
" pany will give a warehouse
receipt for case of whisky to ev-
cry holder of five shares of the
company's stock. the actual whisky
to be distributed to holders of the
receipts when, as and if the law
permits.
National Distillers has been the
sensation of a sensational stock
market. rising from a low of 1875
to a peak of 124%. Other stocks
connected with repeal prospects
have also skyrocketed. Long
neglected rye rose to place be-
side dollar wheat.
Standard Brands. the famous
food combine launched by the
House of Morgan. is rumured to
be surveying the liquor field" AS
this firm includes the Fleischmann
Company, large alcohol producer.
it seems likely that the national
distributing system of Standard
Brands might be used in a brand
new method of selling liquors
through food stores rather than
saloons.
All producers of alcohol look
forward to a potential interest in
the liquor business, for alcohol is
used TO ''rectify" or cut aged
whisky down to the legal 100
proof. Also, as many citizens have
learned for themselves, alcohol
can be used to make gin. Proper
gin is distilled, but gin of a sort
can be made by simply mixing

u. S. Drafts Professors to
Fit Applicants Into Jobs
More Contented and Stable
Laboring Class Sought
by Director.

By Scripps-HoWdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-A Min
nesota university professor, with a
passion for fitting people into jobs
where they will be efficient and
happy, has been drafted by Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins to
put his ideas into operation on a
national scale.
DR.. w. H. Stead. associate director
of the federal employment service,
is at work making plans for direct
ing state offices of the service, to
bring about more contented and
stable laboring class.
DR.. Stead's experts from Wash
ington are to be loaned TO state
officers, with some federal funds TO
draw upon, TO get the work under
way. II is hoped that, as result,
local organizations will become in
terested and advance financial sup
port.
DR.. Stead's system is as follows:
First, an intensive study is made
of accounting records OF manufac-
turing plants over a period of ten
years TO find out just what sort of
work is available IN each industry.
Such study also gives the authori-
ties line on the possible advance
ment and expansion of each indus
try, or the notice that one may be
becoming slowly or rapidly obsolete.
From such examination of the
books something also may be
learned about the way in which
machinery affects the workers job.
1t is the examination of the
would-be workers, themselves, how
ever, which is most interesting. DR..
Stead worked out a group of tests
to give a clear pictaure of the man
or woman-intelligence, aptitudes,
dexterity, peculiarities.

TAX INCREASE IS
FACING COUNTY
Valuation Drop Seen as
Basis for Raise in
Rate.

Loss of approximately s1,750. O0o
in revenue is faced by Marion
county through reduced property
valuations. according to estimates OF
county officials today.
On the basis of the 1884 valua-
tons for tax purposes, which to-
tai $598 $4,000. the valutions
have decreased SGT. 674 200 from this
years figures.
With l-cent of tax levy bringing
approximately s65. 900 in revenue. the
drop IN valuations represents near
ly q cents on the levy.
Unless budgets are pared to an
amount equal to the drop in reve-
nue. it will be necessary TO increase
the levy. county officials pointed out
