 Today the cost stands at about $285 per botle of which $2.05 goes to the treasury in taxes.
 Beer has always been largely water here in Britain, which is why so many brewers become wealthy enough to become peers. And, fol- lowing Morrison's dire words, an official in the beer trade gave the following ominous warning:
 "If wages go up and the sugar supply comes down and the demand for beer increases, the brewers will have to regulate their gravities." He explained that by "gravities, he did not mean their individual weight. He meant the supplies of beer would be the same, but-more water.

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Inverted U. s. AirmoiIs Made Bank Clerk Rich

TT was in the summer of 1918 A that a Washington bank clerk went to the postoffice, bought $15,- 900 worth of airmail stamps for SPA. For the sheet he received was the famous U. S. 24-cent, bi- colored airmail with inverted cen. ter, reproduced above.
 The Postoffice Department tried to regain the stamps, destroyed all other sheets containing the error. But the bank clerk had paid for his stamps, refused to surrender them.
 He sold the full sheet of 100 stamps to a syndicate for SIS, ,000. Col. Edward H. R. Green, son of the multi-millionaire miser Hetty Green, bought the stamps, later sold many of them in blocks and singles. Today the stamp is catalogued at $4500 for a single, unused value.
 The stamp is the first airmail issued by United States, released May 13, 1918. The 16-cent and Scent values of the same design were issued upon reduction of air- mail rates.

 She didn't have to be told by Mike Kelly that Cavalier was a perfect athlete. He had never smoked cigaret in his life. He steered clear of liquor and followed Pop Grimes instructions to the let ter.
 She remembered he had taken up golf just year ago and already was breaking 90 A famous pro once had called him the ideal example of muscular coordination and nerves and insisted Cavalier could be playing in the National Open

 Dear Sir:
 The union of elbow-benderS in Britain is sad. Not even the House of Lords-often called the "Beerage" because it contains so many brewers and distillers-can help them.
 It came with a shock when w. s. Morrison, minister of food, an- nounced to the House of Commons that the output of Scotch would be cut this year to one third the quantity made last year, and that beer production would not be al- lowed to exceed that of last year.
 Furthermore, sugar allowances for the brewers were cut to 70 per cent of what they used last year. The reason of course is-grain. Cereals, which ordinarily go for whiskey and beer, will now be used for cattle
