Brewers Will Spend Millions Of Dollars
 To Advertise Brews
Newspapers Throughout the Country Will Benefit August Busch Will Spend One Million Dollars Alone to Boom Beer

Chicago, March 17-(UP)-Am- erican brewers are preparing. to spend millions of dollars in news paper advertising in a battle for the beer trade. The big beer makers on both coasts and in the heart of the middle-western grain belt were asked by the United Press concerning their first-year plans for marketing real beer". News paper advertising, they replied, would play an important part in their campaigns. August A. Busch, Jr, head of the Anheuser-B Busch company of St Louis, said his con- cern plans to spend the bulk of one- ne-million-dollar advertising ap- propriation in the newspapers.
 '"This amount is flexible" he said "and can be increased as individual states remove restrictions on the sale and advertising of legalized beer" This uncertainty as to what will be the status of beer and beer advertising in many of the states was reflected in the replies of all brewers. It was emphasized that appropriations for national adver- tising will be more than doubled by local lineage contracted for by distributors.
 The advertising department of the Atlas Brewing company in Chi cago said plans called for "sub- stantial expansion of advertising of which the newspaper always has

GOLD FLOWING BACK IN STEADY
 STREAM DAILY
$327,238,OOO Has Been Returned During Past
 Week-M0re Than Half
 of What Was Taken Out

Washington, March 17-(UP)- A $327,258,000 stream of gold flowed back into the Federal Re- serve banks during the past week. the Federal Reserve board report ed to-day.
 The influx. much of 1t coming from hoarders, made up more than half of the $575,162,00O of gold which the IF reserve banks lost in the six weeks preceding the banking holiday.
 The gain brought the reserve banks total gold holdings up to $a,O1O.777,000 at the close of busi- ness March 15 and thus further fortified the gold backing of the United States monetary system.
 The nations reviving confidence in its banks was reflected in the fact that only $S,301,000 of the new emergency currency had been put into circulation up to Wednes- day night.
 The government is printing $2,- 00O, 100000 of the new Federal Reserve bank notes. Huge amounts of them have been made available at all the reserve banks. The mere fact that plenty of money was available appeared to have been sufficient assurance to offset near-, ly all demand. The $3.301.0O0 all went into circulation in the New York district.
 A bill making this new currency available to state banks on the same terms as Federal Reserve members banks was ready for con- sideration in the House. Chairman Steagall of the banking committee said 1t was approved by President Roosevelt and predicted 1t would pass to-day.
 The measure enables state banks to obtain new currency by pledg- ing government securities or other sound collateral as security.
 The amount of ordinary, gold backed Federal Reserve notes In circulation increased $77.6S6,0O0 during the week to a total of S4.2s2.702.000.
 Gold held as reserve against these notes totaled $2.35O.326,000, a gold bcaking of approximately 64 per cent, as compared with the normal legal requirement. of 40 per cent. The gold reserve of all IF of the reserve banks except that at Philadelphia. was above the minimum. The Philadelphia ratio was about 39 per cent. The pres vious week both the Philadelphia and Cleveland hanks had fallen below the minimum.
 The total amount of money in circulation--0utstanding from the treasury and reserve banks " dropped $26a,000,000 to total of $T,26e. 100000. The decrease ap- peared to be due largely to the re- turn of boarded gold.

To a Shamrock From Fathers Grave in

In the Church OCT looking the
 pillows crest He takes his last and peaceful rest, And filial piety oft led me there To repeat g. hurried but heartfelt
 prayer, And as I gaze on those shamrocks
 green And think on the mound Where they first were seen My thoughts go back with tear
 filled eyes To fathers grave in Ballyheigue. o, life and hope how faint and
 frail, How blightly once to me On sweet Ballyheigue heights the Came OCT the summer sea. But soon this heart shall cease to
 beat These sleepless eyes shall close And in the graves serene retreat Like fathers head repose. full many years have passed ana

 free Beside the old church wall. The bee at noontide murmurs there The shamrock flowers among And in the evenings silent air M How sweet the red breasts song. JAMES T, CROWN,

ADVERTISING OF BEVERAGES HAS
 LEGAL RIGHTS
No Legislatures Can Pre- vent It Says L. B. Palms CT of American News paper Publishers

New York, March 17-(UP)- It is beyond the power" of state legislatures to prevent the adver- tising of beverages. "the manu- facture and sale of which are per- mitted by federal law" L. B. Pal Der, general manager of the American Newspaper Publishers association, said to-day.
 Palmer pointed out that the New York state liquor commits sion's recommendation to prohibit advertising of beer was reconsid- cred by the committee as futile and finally abandoned.
 He also showed that. in par allel theory of law, the courts have held that a state which pro- hibits the sale of advertising for sale of cigarets could not prevent the distribution within Is borders of a newspaper publishing cigaret advertising if the sale of cigarets was legal in the state of publica- tion.
 Publishers" he said, twill. of course, be interested in protecting themselves against adverse legis- iation by their state legislatures when this matter comes up for consideration, and the attention of newspapers is drawn to the fact that even though the federal gov- ernment permits the manufacture and sale of beverages with a given degree of alcoholic content, they will nevertheless be bound by their state laws in the matter"
 ''The beer bill." Palmer said, "changes the definition of intoxi- eating liquors as 1t was originally enacted in the national prohibi- tiop act. Unless. however, states which followed either the form or theme of the national prohibition act in their enforcement acts now amend their statutes so as to con- form to the new federal beer bill, there will be a federal permission to manufacture and sell beer. and in some states a state prohibition against such action.
 However, wherever, under the state law, the manufacture. sale and advertising for sale of beer is legal, newspapers published in those states may publish such ad- vertising and may circulate through the malls in the states where the manufacture, sale and advertising Is still not permitted"
