 SHOWS INCREASE
One Billion Five Million Glasses Consumed Last

 Alabama alone now remains arid among the states and territories, Georgia having voted ives" for beer and wine on May 15, but re- jected liquorin it's statewide refer endum at this time.
 The revenue to the government continued to mount in May the brewing industry paying $2O,216,- Al to the internal revenue bureau according to MT Williams. Thus far this year the brewers have paid SS per cent more in taxes on beer alone or $75,534,245 as compared with $54,472,22S for the cores bonding five month period ending June 1, 1884. Total barrelage. pro- duction of beer last month reached 4,043,12S, a 16 per cent increase over May, 1894 when 3,4SS,143 barrels were brewed.

With the arrival of summer just about everybody, it seems, wants to take advantage of every oppor- the lake or seashore for camping, marshmallow roasts, fish fries, corn roasts, clam bakes, beach parties and what have you.
 Taking pictures at night around the camp fire is a lot of fun and the results pleasing and out of the or dinary. Since the introduction of the Photofiash lamp there has been tremendous interest in camp fire pictures for this lamp is so simple to operate. The Photof1ash lamp is similar in appearance to common electric bulb and can be screwed into a special holder resembling an ordinary hand fash light tube. These holders are very inexpensive and can be purchased at almost any store selling photo graphic supplies. The flash is set off by pressing the flash button and it gives an intense light with out any noise or smoke.
 This is how you take a camp fire picture. The people should be grouped as close to the fire as comfort will permit. The arrange ment of the group can be viewed in the finder of the camera by having someone hold pocket f1ash-light or fire brand at each side of the scene. This will indi- cate just what and who are in- cluded in the picture.
 And let me warn you-be sure you have everybody in full view in your finder. Otherwise you may find the decapitated body of a dear friend appearing in the finished print.

 With the camera resting on 8 tripor or firm support, set 1t al stop f.S or U. S. 4, open the shut. ter, and set off the flash bulb and then be sure to close the shutter immediately. When using tho Photoflash bulb hold it to one side of the camera, and slightly behind it. The latter position prevents possibility of lens flare from tht flash. Here's one simple precau tion:-see that the camera i: placed where possible smoke from the fire may not be blown towards

In- vestigation by union officials earlier in the week brought about the re- fusal of the Bridgeport Shirt Com pany to do any work sent to it by the Watertown Undergarment Company for finishing. The com pany's decision came after the plant had been picketed for less than a day by labor representa- tives.
