NOTE—From time to time, in this space, there will appear an article which we hope will be of interest to our fellow Americans. This is number twelve of a series. | SCHENLEY INTERNATIONAL CORP., NEW YORK Proof You prove your pudding by eating it, but if you want to know the proof of whiskey you will find it on the | label on the bottle. But there are many people who don’t know just exactly what whiskey proof means. The explanation is quite simple. It requires only a little, quick mental arithmetic. The easiest way to explain it is to say that “proof”” means double per- cent alcohol, i.e.: when a label tells you that the bottle’s contents is 100 proof, it means 50%, alcohol, by vol- ume; 90 proof, then, would mean 45%; and 86 proof means that the whiskey contains 43 %, alcohol, by volume. There is a definite trend to lighter, lower proof alcoholic beverages, both in our nation and in the British Empire, and this trend to lightness is not confined entirely to whiskey. | People seem to go in for lighter food; they wear lighter clothing (remem- ber the red flannels of yesteryear?), | and they smoke lighter, blended cigarettes. And the cars we drive to- day are lighter, and so are our rail- road trains and coaches, due to lighter alloys (blends) in place of the old, heavy iron. And I think you should know, too, that there is no relation between proof and quality in an alcoholic | beverage. Proof tells you how strong | | the whiskey is in alcoholic content by volume, but quality is more or less a personal matter of which you alone are the sole judge. What really inspired this piece was the chuckle we got from a friend who thought that 100 proof meant 100 %, which, of course, it doesn’t. He remembered his spelling tests when he was a schoolboy. His teacher ‘marked his paper 100% when he had all the words right; and if he missed a couple he got 909, or 85%, which was pretty good, but it wasn’t perfect. (Don’t let that fool you when it comes to “proof.”) Since neither this article, nor any other which preceded it, nor those which will follow, are intended to be controversial, we want to hasten to assure you that perhaps you prefer the heavier and higher proof whis- kies, and if you do, we won’t quarrel with you. But, most respectfully, we suggest a little trip “‘off the main line to seesome new scenery’’; makesome new taste explorations. A change of pace to lighter, lower proof blended whiskey might make your taste buds .say, “Boss, that’sit!"” And, that willbe *proof,” too, of the point we are try- ing to make. . . the trend’s to blends.

The film's theme is based on the tribulations that beset a young South American rubber magnate (our own Don Ameche) when he tries to get a two million dollar con- tract from the American “Rubber Tire King," employing the aid of a Park Avenue citizen, beautiful Joan Bennett. Joan, of course, is mativated by love, so much so that she takes a job as Ameche’s maid. ‘The antics of the featured play- ers, headed by such popular tavor- ites as Billie Burke, Frank Craven and Alan Dinehart, aid materially in making “Girl Trouble” one of the merriest romances of the cur- WHERE THE BETTEI | - > ARRESTED AT KETCHIKAN According to advices received from | Ketchikan by the U.
