Thus the motor vehicle department itself showed that the statement of the “Courant” was unfounded, that it, the motor vehicle department, discour- aged the dimming of headlights. The representative of the “Herald” stated to one in authority at the department that the “Herald” had been encour- aged by the department to advocate the dimming of headlights on ap- proaching another car at night, and thig person in authority at the motor vehicle department stated that the “Herald” had a right to rely upon such information obtained at the mo- tor vehicle department.

Representative Hill said that the whole trouble was that the prohibi- tion supporters were trying * to carry water on both shoulders” and were nullifying the farmers' natural oppo- sition to the Volstead law by telling them that they could make cider and | fruit juices, He believes that a uni- versal ruling on the question will now have to be made and that the farm- ers will then join with the people of the cities in demanding a more liberal interpretation of the prohibition law which would open the way for light wines and beer, He sald that he was planning to leave for Baltimore on Monday and would be ready and waiting for any action to be taken against him. When informed of the resolution passed yesterday by the Chamber of Commerce of New York state in favor of a revision of the Volstead act, Rep- resentative Hill expressed the greatest pleasure and said that he believed the chahber's action was entirely in line with the view of all observant men, “It is a splendid thing to have done,” he said. “I have worked all along for such a revision as they favor, I believe the present law in- herently dishonest as well as danger- ous from the point of view of those who feel that all the laws of the country should be enforced,” SOUTHERN ENGLAND AND .
