The Senate has been strangely mum as to the real reason for including in its beer bill provision for wine of the same alcoholic content as beer namely sos per cent Ae- eofdihg 10 the senators in the know, the req. son they lowered the alcoholic content from 3.5 to 3.05 was that the latter limitation is declared by British commission to be non- intoxicating. That may be so and, fuf' thermor. it may be true that 3.O5 is equivalent 10 3.S per cent by volume. but that doesn't help the cause of wines of his content any. We're no vintner, but we've heard it said on reliable authority that wine with only this much alcoholic content would speedily turn 10 vinegar Most wines range from 10 10 IS per cent content.

Another Racket

4 new racket develops, and Of all places --~ in afcheologyl lt isn't the areheoIogists themselves who are guilty. They are bon. ofabe as well as scholarly men. But their wofkmen get them into trouble An inter" estng ease in point is found in tbe exea- vations of Sodom and Gomonah. which were destroyed by fire and birthstone from heaven three or four thousand yean ago. That catastrophe was apparently historic fact, though interpreted by prossic scientists as volcanic eruption whose ashes still cover tbe ruins,
 The savants 10 whom relics are submitted from tbe excavations on the stes Of those wicked cities have been trying for year or two 10 decjpiler strange inscriptions on pottery dug up by ldbofen. They hoped 10 discover tbe language Of ihe old So' domiies, bnt made no beadWay. Finally II developed ihsi the wofkmen themselves have been scratching meaningless symbols on bitS Of pottery, burying tbem and then digging lbem up with flourish. The motive for such mpoaure is found in tbe fact that the workmen are paid bonus for every relic they turn up.
 Similar deception has been known in this country. though inc motive here has usually been that of tbe practical joker having llt' lie quiet fun. With archaeology growing into ] regular business and spreading every where, tbis son of thing will have 10 be guarded against from now on wherever ex' e1y1tion work js done.
