ALLOWS HOME
BREW OF OVER
1-2 PER CENT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The timid housewife
who has been making raisin wine and
other home brews with one eye on the
brewing jar and the other on the front
door in fear that a prohibition en
forcement officer might appear need
have no further qualms. The Inter
nal Revenue Bureau has rendered a
decision which practically lifts the
ban on “home brews for home con
sumption” which may contain more
than y2 per cent of alcohol.
Nevertheless, the home brews must
be “non-intoxicating.” The Internal
Revenus Bureau holds that “non-in
toxicating” as laid down in the Vol
stead act means non-intoxicating, in
fact, and indicates thereby that some
drinks that contain more than the
prescribed onehalf of one per cent,
while they may cheer, will not ine
briate.
The decision applies especially to
cider and fruit juices. Nothing is said
about home-brewed beers. Home
brewed cider may be sold to any per
son having a permit to manufacture
vinegar and it is also provided that
home-made cider and fruit juices may
be sold.
The decision suggests an effort to
make a practical application of the so
called moist plank contained in the
first draft of the Democratic national
platform. This draft was prepared by
Senator Carter Glass, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, which pre
pared the platform. It declared in
part that the party was opposed to
’“vexatious invasion of the privacy of
the home” in prohibition enforcement
1 n w
The ruling announced today is ex- >
pected to raise anew the question of j
how much alcohol must be contained
in a home brew to give a “kick.”
The text of the decision follows:
“Section 29 of Title II., of the na
tional prohibition act provides that
the penalties imposed in the act
against the manufacture of liquor with
out a permit shall not apply to a per
son for manufacturing nonintoxicating
cider and fruit juices exclusively for
use in his home, but such cider and
fruit juices shall not be sold or deliv
ered except to persons having per
mits to manufacture vinegar.
“The bureau’s interpretation of the
foregoing provision is as follows: Any
person may without permit and with
out giving bond, manufacture non-in
toxicating cider and fruit juices, and in
so doing he may take his apples or
fruits to a cider mill and have them
made into fruit juices. After such
non-intoxicating cider and fruit juices
are made, they must be used exclu
sively in the home and when so used,
the phrases ‘non-intoxicating’ means
non-intoxicating in fact, and not
necessarily less than one-half of one
per cent alcohol, as provided in Sec
tion!., Title II of the said act.
“Or, if the person making such
cider and fruit juices desires to do so,
he may (1) sell such cider and fruit
juice at any time to persons having
permits to make vinegar; this he may
do under provisions of said Section
29; (2) if he preserves such cider and
fruit juices at the time they are
made, he may sell same to the public
in general; this he may do under the
provision of Section 4, of Title II, of
said act; (3) or he may sell said cider
and other fruit juices so long as they
contain less than half of one per cent j
alcohol, but the purchasers thereof
cannot use or posses the same after |
they contain more than one-half of one
per cent of alcohol; this he may do un
der the provisions of Sections 1 and
3 of Title II of said act.
“The cider in the home may be
allowed to turn to vinegar if the owner
desires, provided he adds no sugar or
other fermentable substance to the
cider or fruit juices to increase the
alcoholic content thereof, inasmuch as
such practice is held to constitute a
mash fit for distilation within the
provisions of Section 3282, revised sta
tutes; he may sell said vinegar to
anyone who may desire to purchase it;
this he many do under the provisions
of Section 4, Title I of said act.
“This regulation is not intended to
cover the commercial use of cider and
fruit juices, but merely the use of the
same as applied to the home and as
provision is made in Section 29 of
Title II of said act.”

ANGLOJAP PACT
DENOUNCED BY i
ENGLISH PAPER
LONDON, Aug. 19 (by Associated
Press).—A joint declaration of the
British and Japanese governments
that the Anglo-Japanese treaty, which
has just been permitted automatically
to renew itself for another year, is
“in harmony with the spirit of the
covenant of the League of Nations” is
challenged editorially by The Man
chester Guardian. It is assailed as “a
typical example of those partial and
exclusive agreements between particu
lar powers which the League of Na
tions was designed to supercede.”
The Guardian says: “Some people
may be sceptical about the Anglo
Japanese note, but it is a most inter
esting and may be an extremely im
portant document. The present Anglo
Japanese treaty dates from 1911, and
will run, in the normal course, till
July 1921. But the foreign offices of
the two nations have remembered the
covenant of the League of Nations.
They point out that the treaty, ‘though
in harmony with the spirit of the
covenant of the League of Nations, is
not entirely consistent with the letter,’
and they add that, if renewed next
year, ‘it must be in a form which is
not inconsistent with the covenant.’
“There is only one weakness about
this statement, and that is that its
opening proposition is entirely inac
curate. The Anglo-Japanese treaty
in all its forms has always been entire
ly out of harmony with the spirit of
the covenant. It is a typical example
of those partial and exclusive agree
ments between particular powers
which the League of Nations was de
signed to supersede. It proyoked at
tack or agressive action’ the other
finds its ‘territorial rights or special
interests’ threatened in Eastern Asia
I
or India.
“The covenant, of course, provides
an elaborate machinery by which the
league wTill deal with such contingen-;
cies and bring its collective powers to
bear on the offender, whether he is or
is not himself a member. The Anglo
Japanese treaty will need remodeling
from top to bottom in order to make
it consistent with the covenant. It
will presumably be done by each of
the powers undertaking formally to go •
to war . in support of the other
after the league definitely pronounced
against an aggressor and ordered the
enforcement of all the punitive meas
ures contemplated in Article 16 of the
covenant, which include military force
but do not impose its use as an ab
solute obligation on all the members.
“There would then be the protec
tion of the league between us and (
war, and the obligations thrown on 1
us by the treaty would be very differ
ent from what they are at present.” ^

SMOKING MOST POPULAR
SUMMER SCHOOL COURSE
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Aug. 19
(by Associated Press).—Stanford’s
most popular summer school course
this year, instructors said, was a class
in smoking, conducted by Professor
Ernest Gail Martin of the physiology
departmental, the university’s marine
station at Pacific Grove. The course
was given to determine the effects
of tobacco. Similar work is being
done in eastern universities.

LOOKING FOR HERO TO
GIVE HIM A MEDAL
MULLAN, Idaho, Aug. 19 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Jacob Lelmarck, a
miner, is wanted here by C. L. Her
rick, manager of the Gold Hunter
Mining Company of this place, who
wishes to pin a medal on him. When
;wo men were entombed last year in
;he Gold Hunter mine, Delmarck and
ither miners worked day and night,
'egardless of their own danger, to
rescue the imprisoned men. Then
mother cave-in occurred and Del
nark and another miner. James Col
ins, were caught. It was nearly 24
lours before they were rescued, and
luring most of that time they were
juried to their waists in muck.
The two men have been awarded
nedals by the United States bureau
if mines, but long ago Delmarck
ihouldered his blankets and went off
o some other camp, as miners do.
