WARNS MERCHANTS
.AbOUT.BEER PUMPS
McGonegaI Cites District
~ Regulations Affecting
Equipment.

Merchants installing draft beer equip
ment in anticipation of legalized beer
in the District were warned today by
Plumbing Inspector A. r. McGonegal
to have all installations made strictly
according to Hoyle." Mr.. McGonegal
pointed out that beer-pump mechanics
from Baltimore are doing a thriving
business soliciting installations Of beer
pumps and refrigerating machinery
here. The District has had strict regu-
1ations on these matters since long be-
the Baltimore beer-pump mechanics
were not familiar with the District code
In such matters.
The regulations insist, among other
things, that in water-operated beer
pumps there be no cross connections be-
tween Potomac water and the sewerage
system; that air used in beer pressure
work be taken from suitable, well-venti-
lated places, instead of from damp GEL
lars, and there are many technical re-
quirements in the field of installing re-
frigerating machinery for beer or any
thing else.
Mr.. McGonegal said that in order to
save the merchants the expense and un-
pleasantness of having their machinery
torn out and reinstated because of vio-
IationS OF the code, he would be happy
indeed, to explain its details to beer
pump mechanics from Baltimore or any
where else. His Office is in the District
Building.

ers at the dinner, held last night at
the Hotel Commodore

ter handled by her than by any other
woman or man with whom the Presi-
dent was acquainted"
Farley said: Il don't know Of any
appointment President Roosevelt has
made. or any he may ever make. that
will bring him more credit"

ture, which advises farmers in their
problems.

BEER REGULATIONS
PRESENT PUZZLES
Many Questions Raised on
Sales and Shipments
of Legal Brew.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The new beer law Is presenting as
many problems as a jigsaw puzzle to
those charged with its enforcement At
every turn officials are finding fresh en-
tanglements to send them rushing to
their counsel.
The measure hxdly was enacted be-
fore a difference Rose over the exact
day and hour that it would become ef-
fective And that vas but the begin
ming Of a series Of questions Here are
few that have been laid before off,
cials. some of them answered and others
awaiting more detailed study:
/. Can beer be sold on coastwise ves-
sells within United States jurisdiction
after April 6, and on ships flying the
American flag on the high seas?. 1t
can.
Beer by Parcel Post.
2. If advertising is admissible to
the mails, can a newspaper published
in o dry State. but with a large circ,l-
latfon in an adjoining wet State carry
brewers advertisements? No official
answer yet
3. Will the parcel post deliver beer?
Yes.
4. Will it deliver in dry States? No.
.. Can beer be shipped by rail from
one State to another through a dry
State? Yes and no, according to your
attorney. with no official ruling yet.
8. Can the beer be delivered now
from the breweries to retail establish
ments to get 1t ready for the trade
after the stroke of midnight, April
6? No.
And so the questions 60. But OFF,
cials have not attempted to answer the
one which is being asked most general
ly, namely: II the beer cannot leave
the brewery until midnight ano gets to
the retail trade some time afterward,
how long will it take to cool il?
Meantime, despite the barrage Of legal
snarls, the Internal Revenue Bureau and
the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol, which
are charged with regulating and taxing
the duly legalized industry, are going
forward with the issuance of permits
and the sale of revenue stamps.
DR.. James M. Doran, commissioner of
industrial alcohol, turned from his yor,
long enough to figure that with the cost
OF ingredients lower than before prohi-
bition. and even including the tax. the
brewers should be able to present a s.
cent glass Of beer.

JOHN BARRYMORE GIVEN
INCOME TAX CREDIT
Federal Bureau Reports Actor
Was overassessed $4O,O26
for 1929.

John Barrymore, noted actor, has
Deen granted an overassessment of in
come tax in sum of $40, O,026. SO for 1929.
1t was announced yesterday by Commits
sloner OF Internal Revenue Burnet.
A brief explanation of the overas-
Sessment which had been determined
by the Bureau of Internal Revenue said
that the total amount had been credited
on his tax return. Part of this amount
$39,578.36, the statement said, ''is caused
by the elimination from the taxable
income OF an amount reported in the
return filed in the separate income of
this taxpayer. After a field investiga-
tlon," the statement continued, ''it Is
determined that such an amount rep
resents the share of the taxpayers wife
in the community income and was in
cluded in the taxable income of the
wife.
THE balance of the overassessment,
amounting to $448.32, results from the
allowance of an additional deduction
for taxes. Investigation discloses that
such deduction was understated in the
return filed"
Barrymore's address is given as Los
Angeles.

South.
Louisiana's repeal Of its State pro-
the rest of the Deep South as q place
where 80 per cent beer and wines may
be made and sold, but there were sew
eral moist spots around the edges.
In Kentucky, Attorney General
Wooton has ruled that since the Ken
lucky prohibition law does not define
alcoholic content Of beer, anything that
Congress authorizes may be sold in
that State.
Virginia to Be Dry.
In Virginia, State laws prohibit the
sale of beer and other alcoholic bev-
erageS and Gov. Pollard has refused to
call special session of the Legislature
vention on repeal. The next regular
session is in January
North Carolina and South Carolina
similarly prohibit 80 per cent beer
under existing laws. Bills are pending
in the Legislatures, now in session. on
legalization and on repeal conventions.
The State of Alabama only recently
legalized near beer and bills for 3.2 per
cent beer are now In the hands of
legislative committees, apparently dead.
A bill for a repeal convention bill Is
now on Gov. Miller's desk.
Arkansas has had bone dry law
since 1915. A beer bill died in COM
mittee in the Legislature. but repeal
convention has been set for August l,
after an election Of Delegates July 18.
Tennessee has prohibition law. but
Attorney General Roy Beeler says pos
sibly" the Federal definition of 80 per
cent alcohol might be accepted as nom
in that State in lieu Of a
State definition. A beer bill Is pending
in the Legislature.
A bill setting a repeal convention
has been passed.

Mississippi has . bone dry law and
no repeal action is In sight.
Georgia has bone dry law and a
beer bill was tabled by the recent Leg
islature while repeal convention meas
ure got stuck in legislative jam.
In Florida, all alcoholic beverages are
prohibited but some have advanced the
theory since COURTS have ruled one-half
of l per cent alcohol in beer not vio-
lative of the law they may hold 80
per cent similarly not violative. The
Legislature meets next month.
A State wide beer bill was introduced
in the Maryland Legislature last night

Scientist Sees Trip
To Mars Possible
By Ashes of Corpse
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Tex, March 25.-A
trip to Mars, 50 far denied mere
men, may be accomplished by
his ashes, the Pan-American
Medical Congress was told here
yesterday.
The possibility Of such an ex-
tensive jaunt was mentioned by
DR.. Fred, Wales Of Tucson, Ariz.,
in an address concerned with
possible interplanetary microbe
migration.
From all that has been said,
one deducts that ashes of q
corpse, when finely pulverized
and thrown from an aerial appa-
ratus at a great height, can travel
far, very far, to other unknown
countries-and that at the same
time we can send matter outside
the earth," DR.. Wales said.
He based his theory on the
ability of the microbe to defy
time and infinity, atmosphere
and temperature.
