Brewery Workers Bar
Use of Foreign Malt

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-Or-
ganized brewery workers have refused
to allow workers in the beer indus
try to use imported malt unless it
bears union label, which little of it
does.
The order was issued by the inter
national union of the United Brewery,
Flour, Cereal and Soft Drink Work
ers with the encouragement of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
which seeks to force brewers to use
only domestic malt.
AS result of this action which
threatens to cut off virtually all malt
imports, some malt exporting ma
tions have protested to the state de-
partment. They included Great
Britain, Germany, Poland, Czechoslo-
vakia, Hungary, Belgium and the
Netherlands.
Secretary of State Hull has referred
these protests to the commrc and ag-
riculture departments for advice.

Moons Phases

The various phases or appearances
Of the moon to US are due to the
variation In relative positions OF sun,
earth and moon, notes writer In the
Detroit News. The moon Is a sphere,
all of whose surface is believed to be
lifeless and cold, though 1t Is always
the same face or side that is turned
toward the earth. AS in the case of
the earth, the sun lights only one-half
OF 1t, while the other half remains IN
darkness. In the phase known as new
moon, the bright face Of the moon Is
turned away from us and the moon is
invisible. Then In a few days wo see
a small part Of the bright surface,
which owing to our position appears
as a slender crescent. AS the moon
moves along In It's orbit around the
earth, this crescent increases to a
half moon and thence through the GLIB
bous stage to full moon, after which
it begins to wane, passing through the
corresponding stages again. When the
moon Is between the earth and the sun
we have the new moon and phases up
to half moon: when the earth Is be-
tween the sun and the moon we get
the phases between half moon and full
moon

RELIEF MONEY
REDUCED

Butler county received $4,000
Tuesday as its share of the first dis
tribution Of relief funds made under
terms of the recently enacted state
relief aid bill. The money represents
the February allotment and will be ap-
piled toward the appropriation of re-
lief funds for this month.
The county originally was schedul-
ed to receive about $4,000 from
the state between January and July,
but the amount is expected to be re-
duced considerably, due to the fail
ure Of the state to appropriate money
for last month. The distribution was
to vary from "a per cent of the
entire total in January to 10 per
cent in June

Numerous Lost Rivers in
Various Parts of World

It hardly seems possible to lose a
stream OF water large enough to be
called a river. However. there are
many so-called "lost rivers In the
world, says Pathfinder Magazine. In
dia has its famous Lost river; Jugo-
slavia has one, and so do Idaho and
Oregon. Kentucky has a Lost creek
and West Virginia its Lost river. In
Hardy county, West Virginia, there Is
q river which sinks under mountain
and reappears two miles away as
large spring, the overflow from which
forms the Cacapon river. The
river disappears under a rock.
The water forms whirlpools as IL sinks
under the rocks and anything thrown
into the water there soon disappears
from sight.
These lost rivers" are usually found
In limestone regions. The seepage of
water through the porous rock causes
small fissures to be formed. AS time
goes on, these assures increase In
size until In some cases they may be
large enough TO swallow up a sizable
river. The river may run underground
for miles and then reappear as huge
spring after passing beneath high
mountain. The water In such rivers
is of marvellous opalescent hue, and
yet 1t Is SO clear and transparent that
IL you look at 1t in quiet pool you
would not believe there was any water
there.
