MONTGOMERY'S
MEASURE ALSO
IS ADVANCED
Licenses to Cost $100, $500,
Depending on Manner
Brew Is Sold

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 1.-The
house of delegates yesterday
passed the bill authorizing the
sale of 80 beer in Prince
Georges county and passed to
third reading the beer bill for
Montgomery county.
The Princes Georges bill was
passed, rs to 16, and provides
beer licenses to cost 500 and 5000,
depending on the manner in
which it is sold. If consumed on
the premises the higher license is
required, if sold in bulk the lower
one.
Baltimore Bill Passed
The house of delegates last night
also voted approval to the Balti-
more city beer bill, the vote being
81 to 18. with four city members
opposing the legislation.
The bill, which now goes to the
senate, provides license tax of
$3.50 to sell beer for either home
delivery or consumption On the
premises where sold.
The measure will now go to the
Senate, where some opposition is
expected to come from the high
license fee. 1t is thought that the
Senate will demand the fee be
lowered to $100, and the city dele
cation in the house is expected to
lead the fight for the lower figure.
Many Favor $50 Tax
A number of the city members
favor a $50 tax, but voted for the
$3.50 figure as compromise from
the $3.50 at first contained in the
measure.
The senate is expected to take
action today on the statewide beer
bill, which will impose a $50 Ii
cense fee for ION sale" and $25
for "off SALE"

LOCAL MAN FELT WRETCHED
 UNTIL VENDOL GAVE RELIEF
Young Musician Had Indigestion, Gas in Stomach, Cramps and Sourness. Bowels Were Consti- pated, Nerves Kept Him From Sleeping. Says New Medicine VendOl Acted Quickly.

Many folks in this city have found that Vendol, the new plant and herb tonic now being specially here by the Vendol Man at the Waterbury Drug Co.,. is just the right medicine to regulate the bowels. purify the blood, strengthen the kidneys and relieve the stomach of gas and sourness.
 MT. John Valerie of 48 Tarbell Ave-, Oakville, Waterbury, one of
 the best known of the younger musicians in the city says, T was beginning to feel rundown and tired out so knew I ought tof do something about it but didn't know what till a friend advised me to try Vendol saying it had done him a lot of good. so got some Vendol and it surely has made me feel better. :
 1T was feeling wretched when I began taking it two weeks ago. My stomach would fill up with gas and sour, burning liquid would belch up into my throat. My stomach seemed to churn around and grip something awful at times. My head would ache and I seldom got a good nights sleep. was every day unless took some kind of medicine.
 "It was really surprise the way Vendol acted so quickly. It soon had my bowels moving easy and regular, the headaches passed off, my sleep became sound and restful and my appetite picked up. Ven- dol seemed to be exactly what my stomach needed because 1t soon

HUMIDITY ADDS
 TO SUFFERING
Showers Last Night Fail to Break Heat Wave
 Record Set Yesterday

Humidity rather than the rays of the sun served to make today seem a hot one. While yesterday noon the thermometer in front of the Democrat registered 96 degrees the markings today showed only 92 degrees. It had moved up one de- gree at 1900 D. m. Nevertheless, Waterbury residents continued to swelter under the continued heat and the humidity undoubtedly the result of the very brief shower of last night, caused most of the suf- fering and inconvenience.
 Yesterdays heat record reached the 102 degree point the highest of the year. It was doubtful early this afternoon if this figure would be reached. Even Sundays record of 101. was surpassed yesterday. If the top is 96 today it will be satis- factory, although it is felt that the heat is causing more suffering to- day because of the increased hum idity.
 Last nights shower served prac- tically to no extent as far as -caus- ing let-up in the heat. The rain- fall was very brief and the breeze was very slight. Thousands of Waterburians remained on their porches until the early hours of the morning seeking relief. { <
 Today hundreds who were able to left the city for the nearby lakes and shore resorts. The weath- man today, however, promised showers for tonight and tomorrow. Waterburians are hoping that they will bring real rainfall.

Employment Hours
 Increase For June
Over Seven Per Cent Gain Recorded With Average Weekly Wage of $l8.49 for 4l.z Hours

With practically the same hourly earnings in the two months, the weekly pay envelope contained 10 percent more in June than 1t did in May. What this combination of more workers and longer hours meant to the community is seen in an increase of 18 percent in man hours and therefore in payrolls and purchasing power.
 In June,- 1883, the average weekly earnings, for an average week of 41.2 hours, were $18.49 for skilled and unskilled workers of both sexes. This figure is still 31.5 percent below the level of money earnings in 1923. If account is taken of the fact that the cost of living, despite a slight rise in June over the May figure, is still far below the 1926 level, 1t appears that the June, 1888 pay envelope would buy almost as much as did that of 1923. In other words the purchasing power of wages in June, 1883, was 95.5 percent of that of the year 1923.
 , The improvement noted was general among the 25 industries reporting to the conference board. With exception of four. industries there was an advance both in em- ployment and in hours. In II in- dustries the purchasing power of the weekly earnings was greater in June, 1888 than 1t was in 1926.
