The whiskey tax I thac yen.r was $1.10 a sauon, the “KING OF THE JUNGLE” ,’same as the present rate on medi- cinal liquor. ‘ Consumption Increase Forseen | In the 23 year period from 1894 October, 1917, the rate stood at | $1.10 with the trend of both reve- | nues and consumption quite stead- i ily upward. Wartime need for | funds brought about a boost in the rate to $3.20 a gallon, which was increased to $6.40 midway in the | fiscal year 1919 when the revenues from distilled spirits reached the high mark of $353737,000. Con- sumption, however, was only a lit- tle more than one-half that of 1917. ? Some expérts in the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol and others here familiar with the liquor situation | believe that consumption of hard | liquors after National prohibitton ! will exceed that of 1919 owing to the increase in population and the fact that only 15 states were wet | in the year immediately prior to adloption of the Eighteenth Amend | ment, ————— RAINBOW GIRLS ATTENTION All Rainbow Girls are requested to meet at the Masonic Temple at 10:45 Sunday mording to attend the services at the Lutheran| Church. —ad‘f Dally Empms fant Ads Pay .

The new RKO-Radio picture has the irresistible appeal of broad burlesque, opening on an Indian Reservation where those side-split- ting comedians, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey are commissionad to represent the Indians at the Peace Conference in Geneva. | The redskins believe Willy Nilly and Horatio Glub are dumbenough | to maks good diplomats. Their adventures in Switzerland, wherza | group of ammunition makers at- tempt to balk their efforts to get a peace pact signed, and their romance with a pair of hired Par-| isian camps whose Kisses make men swoon and smoke about the| collar, make lively action and z'iot-‘i ! ous comedy. The sequences which take place| in what purports to be the Peace| Conference hall are sublimely ridi-| culous. Machine guns, mallets and | bombs take the place of veiled in-| uendo and ironic notes. The whole | affair turns into a riot of fun| and music when Wheeler and Woolsey enlists the entire delega- tion in an improptu black-face| minstrel act. Marjorie White and Phyllis Bar- ry give the art of making lobsters out of men a new verve, with just the propér amount of nonsense. Their slinking, lureful mode of lo- comotion and their honeyed woo- ing adds zest to the work of the comedians. The musical numbers in this elaborately-staged production es-| tablish a new precedem for racy to see about while I am on this trip.” The Ruth C. now enroute to Seattle Tor repairs, was built in ths Puget Sound metropolis in the Spring of 1932, 1Its first trip was quite an occasion, with Governor ant guests aboard the vessel.
