Dealers feared to make reductions in prices when they knew they would be temporary and would have to be discontinued as soon as the import stocks were exhausted. This would be cured if there were no quota barrier. As long as there is an import duty of $5 per gallon on spirituous liquors, hawever, domestic dis- tillers will take advantage of it to charge all the traffic will bear.” The supply of local whiskey, properly. aged, is far below the current demand. It takes years to properly age whiskey. Therefore, it will be a long time before the supply overtakes demand even though there is no quota barrier for the foreign distillers to negotiate. Certainly there is no need for both the quota system and the high import tax. They are alternative methods of con- trolling imports. It is not necessary to use them together. In abandoning the quota tem, the Administra- tion can at least compel the American distillers to maintain a higher quality of whiskies than they are doing now. It can imsure some reduction in current prices, although the $5 import tax will oper- ate against reasonable prices since in addition to that duty, there is a $2 Federal tax and in most States a $1 tax is added, making a total of $8 per gallon. That is more than good whiskey cost the consumer in pre-Prohibition days, is also more than it ought to cost now. There Js only one way in which bootlegging can be stopped: that is, to give the consumer better whiskey than he can buy from the illicit dealer at @ cost that is comparable to the bootlegged variety.

Only ten years ago the now famous 100-inch mirror of Mount Wilson made its first revelations. A né means of determining stellar distances, with struc- ture and scale of the Milky Way clarified, diameters of stars measured with a precision that would have seemed incredible half a century ago, new light thrown on the constitution of matter, outer nebulae rushing away at prodigious speeds and thus support- ing a relativistic belief in an expanding universe— surely the record is unparalelled in the astronomy of our time. Scarcely an advance in theoretical knowledge acquired in the last decade but owes something to the unrivalled power of that mighty mirror. Yet it is an advance that only whets the appetite for an even more avid light grasper—a glass of twice the diameter and fully ten times the collecting power of Mount Wilson's 100-inch “How minute are our instruments in comparison with the celestial universe!” exclaimed El Karakat, the Arabian astronomer, who built the great observatory of Cairo in the twelfth century. Seekers of truth among the stars echo him eight centuries later. Ten thousand chickens were stolen in Indiana last year.
