Youths Complain
OF Police Officer

A protest was lodged with city
commission last night by num-
Der of young men who cohgregate
nightly at White and Division
streets that a certain police Off
Ger consistently clears them off
the corner. DonaldaPinder, an ex-
Marine, was spokesman for the
group.
Pinder later told City Manager
o. j. S. Ellingson that the police
man is Frank Caraballo.
Last week in Municipal Court,
George Lowe and Tony Fabal
claimed that Caraballo had dis
eliminated against them by keep
ing them off the corner. Charges
against them of attacking Cara
ballo were dismissed. Caraballo
commended that he kept the
youths off the corner because
they were offending passersby.
The commission instructed Ell
lingson to notify the police officer
to cease this policy.

virtually unsafe to travel.

Sea Water Sold
At S. A Quart
By Glib Agents

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, July z
(FNS).-Would you pay SIS a quart
for sea water, clearly labeled as
such?
A lot of people would, did and
protested bitterly when the Fed
eral and State government sug-
gested they might be getting
gypped.
A two-quart bottle of sea wa
ter, price $40, is among the
prize exhibits in the Florida De-
partment of Agriculture's food
and drug inspection laboratory
here.
Similar bottles were peddled
from door to door by fast-talk-
ing agents and hundreds of per-
sons purchased them. The label
on the bottle displayed by the
laboratory is completely guilt
less of misrepresentation, though.
1t says in big letters the active
ingredient in the bottles contents
is sea water. Then it follows with
an impressive list of the chem
icals ordinarily found in sea wa
ter.
That's what fooled people, DR..
V. E. Stewart, director of the
laboratory, explained. He said
the chemical analysis of the wa
tel. was accurate and has sig
nificance to chemists, but per-
sons unfamiliar with chemicals
see the list and think the prep
aration must be pretty good to
have all that stuff in it."

grants and wolinding several. This
was not confirmed, however. The
immigrants added that when they

gines.

Air-Conditioning---
Born In a Brewery!

Modern air conditioning was
born in an American brewery
sixty-eight years ago-the answer
to the brewers need for completely
pure air.
In France, the great Louis Pas
teur had proved that the occasional
mysterious spoilage of beer, which
plagued brewing for thousands of
years, was caused by minute organ
ism that teemed in the atmosphere.
In Alexandria, Virginia, Robert
Portner, brewer, read of Pasteur's
findings, and conceived of what
was then a daring plan. If con-
tamination could come from the
air, then the air of his whole
brewery would be cleansed!
In 1879 he had developed and
installed his system of cooling and
purifying the air in his building
using anhydrous ammonia, liquified
by mechanical compression, as his
refigerant.
CleaneSt in the world
Today, as in POrtner'S time,
clean, pure air assures the success
of the American brewing process.
In the words of DR.. Winfield S..
Hubbard, formerly of the Food and
Drug Administration of the De-
partment of Agriculture:
"Breweries have to be the
cleanest industrial plants in the
world. The slightest evidence of
uncleanliness in a brewery would
be betrayed by clowdy, undrink-
able beer. A brewer has to keep
his plant as immaculate as a
hospital diet kitchen. Air condi-
tioning is only one valuable pre-
ventive in a long series of pre-
cautionary measures that are taken
by every brewer to turn out pure
beer-the only kind anyone can
sell anywhere today"
