Beer, as a medicine, enjoys a full legal status today through the un- expected action of the Treasury De- partment in promulgating regula- tions permitting its use for that pur- pose, issued In accordance with an oplnion submitted by former Attor- ney General Palmer last March 3 holding the medicinal use of beer to be legal under the prohibition laws and after being withheld since then in anticipation of early action by Congress on the pending anti-beer measure. Announcement of the beer regulations yesterday came as a com- plete surprise to prohibition leaders. In making: known their promulgation Secretary Mellon declared the de partment was unable to withhold the regulations longer in view of the “plain legal rights of the parties con- cerned.” Reaction TIs Predicted Predicting an immediate reaction to the Treasury's announcement in the direction of increased pressure to_ef- fect enactment of the anti-beer bill, dry advocates in and out of Congress did not conceal their disapproval of the department’s action. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti-Saloon League, described it as “less defensible than any other time,” while Senator Willis, republi- can, Ohio, joint author of the anti- beer bill, characterized it “an out- rage, utterly indefensible. While the new rules, covering com- prehensively the use of wine and spirituous liquors as medicines as well as beer. fix a limit of two and one half gallons, the equivalent of | a case, as the amount of beer that may be prescribed to the same person at one time, no arbitrary limit is placed on the number of prescriptions one person may obtain within a given period, except that the amount for a single prescription is limited to two quarts. ‘The wine regulations are the same, while spirituous li-- quors are limited to one pint within any ten-day period.

By the Awsociated Press MORRISTOWN, Pa., October 25.— Warren Harding is a good name, wrote the President of the United States to a baby named for him. The letter, made public today by the child’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry J. Hannaway, follows: “My Dear Warren Harding: A friend of yours has just written to let me know that you have arrived in this world within a few days past and have demonstrated an early and appealing discretion by inducing your parents to give you a good name. I know it is a good name because my father and mother gave it to me, and they were the best people I have known. I hope you will try as hard as 1 have to do nothing to discredit the name, for I know your father and mother, like my own, would grieve if that should happen. You have ar- rived here in a mighty interesting time for the world and will have a chance to be a useful citizen. “Please do your best to live up to all your possibilities in that direction. “I wish I could hope to remain as long as you may, for this world is going to be an extremely interesting place during the time You are entitled tay in it.

These are the first cases to grow out of the controversy between the Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro- ducers’ Assoclation and local dealers, the association having suspended milk “shipments to scveral of ihe largest dealers in the city because of their alleged refusal to sign con- tracts.

The three delegates, Dr. J. A. Mur- phy, chief medical inspector of the public echools; Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, the association’s crusade leader, and Miss W. A. Balley, nutrition worker of the association, were all optimistic over the splendid work being accom- plished in Rochester, as an outcome of the nutrition institute conducted by Dr. Emerson, under the auspices of the Rochester Tuberculosis Asso- ciation. It was brought out that so highly is the work regarded by teachers of physical culture in Rochester that they pay their own tuition fee to at- tend the institute, the effect of which is seen in the desire on the part of parents to have physical defecis of their chiidren removed promptly so that the children may be free to gain sufficient weight to bring them to normal. Dr. Stephen E. Kramer, superintendent of schools, spoke on the difliculty of getting people to understand that the diet of children should be different from that of adults, particularly in matter of per- suading parents to include sufficient milk in the d of their children.

Be Used. By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 25.—As- |suming that breweries are permitted to make beer under the ruling just issued by H. Daugher Cnited States Attorney General, it will not be the “old-fashioned” kind, accord- ing to John T. Drane, vice president of a Louisville beverage company.

In order to produce enough anthracite to supply the country’s requirements, the Pennsylvania mines must be kept in measures is held. The present regulations allow eight- een miles an hour, with twelve miles at street intersections. There is not one motorist in a hundred, the Com- missioner believes, who observes the twelve-mile limit. He believes there should be established a single maxi- mum speed for traffic in the down- town sections and that it should not exceed fifteen miles an hour. Invitations Late: Commissioner Oyster said today he would not issue invitations to the traffic conference until after the hearing to be held Friday on the parking regulations. He wants to see what citizens' organizations are going to take part in the hearing and would be willing to do constructive work in studying the traffic situation in the District genarally. 2 It is his present intention to invite to the conference representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, Merchants and Manufacturers Association, Federation of Women's Clubs, Federation of Citizens' Asso- ciations, y Club, Rotary Club, Twentieth Century Club and other organizations. The board of educa- tion will be asked to send a repre- sentative. The conference will be asked to consider, first, what new traffic regu- lations, if any, should be adopted in order to afford greater protection 1o users of the streets, and, second. whether the penaities provided for violation of the existing regulations should be increased in order to com- pel a greater respect for the law. Pedestrian Problem. The problem of carelessness on the part of pedestrians also will be con- sidered. Commissioner Oyster today indorsed the decision of the highway and high- wi transport education committee to undertake a national safety cam- paign among grammar school teach- ers and grammar school pupils. The campaign will take the form of essay contests. School children are a big factor in the traffic problem, and for that rea- son I will ask the board of education 1o send a representative to the con- ference to propose means for throw- ing greater safeguards about the children,” said the Commissioner. In summer production exceeds demand and it becomes necessary to place the surplus in storage. In winter the demand exceeds the and less marketable sizes, that sell for only $2 or $3 a ton. The necessity of storing anthracite adds from 60 cents to $1 a ton to the cost of the coal, depending interest on money tied up in the coal, nor interest on the investment in the storage yards. If consumers would take half of their supply during spring and summer months the storage would be eliminated. cost of In the long run, the available supply of coal is not only what the mines are able to produce, but what the railroads can transport and your coal dealer distribute.
