been a different story with the

The big center, Muller. was in

Nephew Bobby Grayson had a
sore heel and was a doubtful
starter. Monk MOscrip was suf-
fering from a leg injury that
had Thornhi1l on the hot seat.
Thornhill laughed at reports
that Moscrip had bad leg. So
it has gone. Most confusion,
as you will readily realize, and
gradually going from bad to
worse until we didn't know

So we decided to chase that

A liberal policy in regulating the dis

recommended last night by the North

and that licenses be forbidden to per-
sons who have been convicted of fel-
onies or OF any violation of the prohibi-
ton laws.

ARMY RUM RULE
PUT UP TO DERN
Secretary to Decide Whether
Military Posts Shall
Remain Arid.

With the closing Of the dry era. the
Regular Army is awaiting an oficial
ruling by Secretary Of War Dern on
the question Of permitting the sale of
intoxicating liquors at Army canteens
and officers clubs.
the legalizing of beer served as an
entering wedge to amend the strict
regulations prohibiting the sale of in
toxicants at Army posts when Con-
gress ruled that 80 beer was non
intoxicating.
The 32-year-old prohibition against
the sale of beer in the Army was
amended therefore to authorize the
dispensing of the Intoxicating
beverage at all Army posts in State5
which permitted the sale of beer.
An exception was made in the case
OF the United States Military Academy
at West Point N. Y.
Liquor for Clubs.
The question of whether the Armv
VIII now rescind its regulations pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicating Iio-
uors Is now being considered by the
Legal Department. Secretary Dern i,
expected to pass on it shortly. Some
omcials at the War Department are
OF the opinion that officers clubs will
be permitted to keep intoxicating lio i.
uors even through the Army canteens
are forbidden to sell them to enlisted
men.
1t was recalled that during the
early years, before Nationwide prohi-
bition, officers were permitted to have
their liquor at clubs on posts, in States
which had no prohibition law.
The dry regulation was adopted in
1901, and declared that the sale OF
beer, wines or intoxicating liquors "by
any person in any post exchange or
canteen or Army transport, or upon
any premises used for military pur-
poses by the United States. is pro-

that 80 beer could be sold to enlisted
men at Army canteens In all States
which did not prohibit its sale.
Army Dry 80 Years.
In some Army circles the belief was
expressed that Secretary Dern would
continue the prohibition on intoxicat-
ing liquors throughout the Army. It
was pointed out, however, that officers
might be permitted to keep liquors in
their lockers at Army clubs, even
though its open sale were prohibited.
The fact that the Army for 80 years
has strictly prohibited the sale Of in
toxicants to enlisted men was cited
today as q reason why it is doubtful
whether this regulation would now be
rescinded.
