LEGAL BEER AND WINE.

Congress has moved with commendabe prompt ness to give to the nations thirsty legal beer and wine modifying the National Prohibition Act to exclude from it's prohibitory provisions beer and wine whose alcoholic content does not exceed 3.05 per cent By early April, according to today's Asso- ciated Press dispatches from Washington, the new beverages will be sale.
 Brewers confident the prescribed beer will be palatable and satisfying to the Prohibton-weary public as was -volstead brew. Just how satis- factory wines of the light alcoholic content will be remains to be seen The 3.05 per cent limit is far below the average strength of wines in the good old days. Science can do wonders, however, and maybe it will be able to satisfy wine drinkers with the lighter wines until the people wipe out the Eighteenth Amendment
 Delegate Dimond has advised that the Legislature has the authority to legisate for the regulation of the manufacture and safe of the legal beverages, and to impose taxes upon them. Regulation will be largely by taxation. It is, of course, proper and right that the industry pay it's proportionate share of the costs of Territorial government It should not be required to do than that. Imposition of high taxes and stringent regulations to limit sales would be mistake. To encourage those who do use. alcoholic beverages, regulation should be liberal possible. Taxes should be reasonable so that bootlegging will be unprofitable And early action is desirable that unrestricted sale and manufacture cannot be practiced at the very outset

For twenty years he served in the Senate with unflagging labor and unblemisheo honor. little austere and apart he had the dignity with no trace of the pomposity of his order. He hail-fellow wel-met, popularity seeker, no blower of his own trumpet. He had in high de- gree that unflnching courage which has come to be so rare trait among public men. In his early days a lawyer he tried many cases against great corporation. He became a favorite of labor unions. As a Senator he dared to vote for the Esch-Cum mins transportation bill in the teeth of all the railroad unions.

Cotton Quality Improved
 By New Vertical Drier


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Use of new vertica. cotton drier, de- veloped by the Department of Ag- riculture, has increased the value of lint from 60 cents to $5 a bale above the cost of drying, the de- partment estimates.
 The drier was used in ginning about 45,000 bales of seed-cotton in the Mississippi delta region in 1882. Several hundred thousand bales are expected to be treated this year.
 The department has conducted experiments which show that mois- ture affects the quality Of ginned lint. The drier consists of series of shelves through which the cot ton tumbles while exposed to a blast of hot air.

DELAWARE CITIZENS ASSOCIA-
TION DISCUSSION MEETINGS

A committee of the Delaware Cit
izens Association, composed of Mrs.
Irving Warner, chairman; Burton p.
Fowler, Mrs. Clarence Fraim, Ernest
V. Keith and Mrs. Charles l.. Walk
er is perfecting plans for the series
of four discussion meetings on
Youth in a Social Crisis" to be
held during the winter.
This project is consistent with the
constructive policy of the Delaware
Citizens Association which took up
the work of the Service Citizens of
Delaware in 1927. Creation of pub
lie opinion favorable to improved
school laws, better school attend
ance, a program for the foreign born,
new schools for all colored children,
sample schools" in each county for
white schools, these are some of the
achievements of the Service Citizens.
Considering the needs of all chill
dren, the Delaware citizens have de-
voted themselves to a study of the
modern school. Visits to outstand-
ing schools for teachers with initi-
ative, training of apprentice teach
ers in progressive centers, develop
ment of a demonstration school, ed
iting of the bulletin "Signposts," in
terest in adult education, aid in de-
velopi6g some departments of the
educational system, these have been
contributions of the Delaware Citi-
zens to the life of the State.
During this period of intensive
citizen effort, tremendous strides
have been made. By 1888 the State
had won 10th place in educational
ranking, a jump from 3Sth. The sue
cess of the forum planned for this
winter depends upon the support of
a sufficient number of thinking cit
liens. With such support Delaware,
unlike the majority of the other
states, which have already crippled
their educational system, will be
able to hold what has been won for
her children. The discussions will
be open to all interested citizens,
whether members of the Delaware
Citizens Association or not.
