 In addition to producing it's own grapes on extensive vineyards sur rounding the plant, the Schenley company plans large purchases from farmers in the neighboring valley as the expansion program gets un- der way, MT. Wiehe said.
 The growing appreciation of Am- erican wines, which will be further stimulated by our nationwide dis tribution facilities, may be seen in the fact that the consumption of the American product increased mere than 50 per cent in the period from 1895 to 1939," MT Wiehe said According to the latest published government reports, consumption oi American wines during 1889 total led about 73,000,000 gallons. and oui own surveys show substantial in- crease for 1940.

away from his own 6 feet, 9 "a

STERLING BREWERS OPEN NEW
MATERIAL CHECK LABORATORY

EVANSVILLE, Ind, June 28-
(SNS)-Sterling Brewers, in
move to further improve their
products and maintain high
quality standards for C n
sumner protection, have opened
new material analysis laboratory.
Beer is no better than the
materials from which it is made, so
we are making sure that materials
which go into our beer are the
best that can be had" Sterling
officials point out.
These tests have been conducted
in the past by chemists in other
cities. The new laboratory will
allow spot testing and even closer
control on each step in the brew
ing process.
The new laboratory will check
all grain used in Sterling beer and
ale for moisture content, starch
(Enzymes are chemical compounds
in the grain which are necessary
to proper fermentation
In addition to the grain analy-
sis, the new Sterling laboratory will
maintain a biological control over
all yeast, water and hopes used in
the beer and will keep a chemical
check record on all brews in pro-
cess, according to Charles Hart
metz, who will be connected with
the new laboratory.
Mr.. Hartmetz has recently re-
turned from the United States
Brewing academy in New York
City, where he took the regular
course and graduate work. He was
graduated from Indiana university.
Previous to attending the New
York Academy, Mr.. Hartmetz
spent two and half years in the
various departments of the brewery
under the tutelage of Henry A.
Wimberg, Sterling brewmaster. He

Leo Tarrant, greatest of Alaba-
ma State Teachers College Mont

carried the name of his college,
coach (Which already was univer-
sally known as an Olympic athlete
and natal city of Birmingham to
every corner of America. Fans in
Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida,
Iowa, New York, Massachusetts,,
California, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Louisiana, and Ohio have seen
him run, both in doors and on the
cinders, have watched him burn
the air with his speed.
When Mule" Ellerbe was nat
ional or world champion, Tarrant
was running third to him at Tus-
kegee. Tarrant then was a Fresh
man record not included in the
statistical report) and Norman
Holmes of Florida was looked upon
as the logical successor to the
Tuskege Thunderbolt. That year
they ran Ellerbe so hard they made
him injure a muscle in his leg.
Since then Tarrant has stepped up
to king of the century in the South.
He has yet to capture the
Penn, Drake, or National A. A. u.
meet. He has run against Hal
Davis and Penn's Barney Ewell,
two of the biggest current names in
the path sport Unless his bad
ankle" hinders, the Birmingham
Bullet should meet this pair in
Philadelphia June 1929. Tarrant
needs to win this one.
Names like Pearson, Ellerbe, and
Tarrant must be linked together as
the greatest Sprinters thus far
produced by the SIAC. BY this we
note that Florida, Tuskegee, and
Alabama have monopolized the
dashes.
Tarrant was born in the section
OF Birmingham known as Ensley

His parents (Mr. Lonnie and Mrs

nature cure" for the boy. He was
to run daily for exercise. Having a
| Sportive heart, Tarrant had tC
find competition. He began tC
chase his shadow around the big
reservoir in the little offShot
neighborhood of Sherman Heights
With his shadow as a foe, all Lee
had to do was to get the jump on
the sun to win.
One day tom-boyish girl saw
him going through these pranks
and offered to race him. He took
her on, and, to his surprise, she
beat him over stretch of about
fifty yards. The boys kidded and
teaSed him to tears about the in
cident. Irritated, he made a cove
nant with himself to the effect
that no human being would ever
out-hoof him. He became known as
the fastest boy in elementary
school. He kept this pledge fol-
during his high school days re-
