CAROLINA DRYS PLAN NEW WAR
To Combat Legal Sale of
 All Intoxicating i Liquors

Columbia, s. C.-(UP)-Drys of South Carolina are planning mill liant battle against the Illegal sale of intoxicating liquors in any shape
 The Federated Forces met after the state convention which voted against repeal, to formulate plans to hold their grounds in the state. Citizens of South Carolina voted in favor of prohibition by a 5000 ma jority Nov z.
 Former Governor John 0, Rich- ards introduced a resolution at tho dry meeting opposing "the re-sub- mission of the liquor question in any form in the state since already 1t has been submitted three times"
 At present, the state has stat ute which permits the importation of a quart of liquor a month by any person obtaining 9 permit from 9 county judge. The drys were divided on whether to seek repeal of this law at the next legis- 1ative session.
 that as state senator in 1917 he drafted a liquor control measure, opposed efforts to repeal the "quart a month" law. He said it would be "ridiculous' for the state to prohibit purchase of liquor for s'medicinar' purposes.
 From 1898 to 1907, South Caro- lima tried an experiment with a dis- pensary system. In 1906, the leg islative committee Investigating the dispensary system reported that "officials of the. dispensary system have become shameless Nin their abuse of power, unsuitable in their greed and perfidious in the dis charge of their duties"
 The abolition of the dispensaries as a state system came in 1907 and a number of hikh officials were convicted of conspiracy against the state.

ALCOHOL GAS

A campaign for legislation to
force gasoline manufacturers to
use per cent alcohol in their
product was under way in Con.
gress today as a farm relief meas
ure.
Manufacturers would be re-
quired to use 1 per cent alcohol
in the first 80 days and increase
the amount until every gallon Of
gasoline would contain S per cent
alcohol. Gasoline without alco-
hol would be subjected to much
higher Federal tax than gasoline
containing it.
Representative Dirksen (R" of
Illinois said scientists for the
farm organizations are convinced
the plan is practical. He said:
"This kind Of motor fuel is
now in use in many countries.
It would increase the price Of
gasoline two cents a gallon but
it is claimed the gasoline would
be more efficient. The alcohol
would be produced from corn,

BERLIN, April 81 GN.s)-A
dramatic meeting sometime in the
near future between former Kaiser
Wilhelm and Miss Dorothea Sal
Watt, commoner fiancee Of his
favorite grandson, Prince Wilhelm
of Hohenzollern, was predicted
here today.
In his exile retreat at Doom,
Holland, the ex-kaiser has main
tained stony silence since Prince
Wilhelm, eldest son of the former
crown prince, announced his in
tention Of marrying Miss Salviati
and revealed at the same time
they had been engaged for five
years.
Persons conversant with the
private affairs of the Hohenzol-

that filial duty will force Prince
Wilhelm to present Miss Salviati
to his once imperial grandfather.
The ex-kaiser is reported in
censed over his grandson's action
in blasting a tradition Of CEN
turies by becoming engaged to a
woman of less than royal rank.
