Only Civil War Vet Eligible to This Board Washington, Feb, 4 (M—One of mysterigs of Congress is how its members prevent a hopeless dead- lock when it comes to selecting the board of managers of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Sol- diers. An act of Congress is necessary T for the appointment of a board member and every Congressman is privileged to nominate, but serious difficulty has been avoided. There are seversl vacancies on Q:e board now. When the home was established, it was deemed advisable to have its board appointed by Congress rather than by some executive so that the home's administration would be directly in control of the legislative branch of the govern- ment. Perhaps a deadlock has been avolded because of the require- ments fixed for board membership, A member must he a Union Civil ‘War veteran — and there are not many of them left—and also a man of outstanding accomplishment in business, professional or political fields. i Father and Son Are Both Hoosier Legislators Indlanapolis, Feb, 4 P ~— Father and son are serving in the Indiana | general assembly.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is ready and willing to remove the leadly fluld from tax free alcohol the minute a satisfactory substitute s discovered by chemists—but after two years of research work nothing o take its place has been found. The prohibition law requires in- istrial alcohol to be denatured so liat it will be unfit for beverage pur- oses. Federal officials contend +00d alcohol is the only known sub- tance answering the purpose. Wood alcohol, they point out, is a ember of the alcohol family, chem- ally. Tt is, however, the black 1eep of the family because it is poisonous. It can be added to grain cohol without causing incon- enfence to legitimate manufactur- rs and industry. ‘Wood alcehol boils at a point very leadership in prohibition enforce- ment work, diversion of industrial | alcohol into bootleg channels totaled more than 50,000,000 gallons annual- | ly, it was estimated.
