BEER KING GETS GENEROUS WITH HIS UNCLE SAM Terry Druggan Is Ready to Gfve $5,000 Livestock for $300,000. flu T.’nltrd Prmtt CHICAGO, Nov. B—The United States government was wondering today whether to accept fifty-one blooded cows, a number of race horse* and a flock of White Leghorn hens as payment of Terry Druggan’s $300,000 back income taxes, or to seek other means of forcing the notorious beer baron to pay his debts. Druggan. who ordered internal revenue collectors, headed by Mrs. Myrtle Tanner Blackridge, off his farm Wednesday, relented Thursday and welcomed them with open arms. Only reporters were barred from the party. Disregarding his patent leather shoes, gray suit, gray hat, black top coat, and red necktie, Druggan marched out to the barn yard and personally shepherded his livestock before Mrs. Blackridge. He’s Free Hearted ‘‘Really, you can have them all,” he beamed. “They're eating their heads off and making me no money. The farm problem, you know. You can have my brewery too,” he continued, “folks say its worth $500,000, but I’m afraid you couldn’t sell it for a tenth ot that. Too much Canadian beer coming into the country just now." But Mrs. Blackridge, who had a lien ready to serve on the livestock of Sanola farm, as Squire Terry’s estate is called, hesitated, then put the paper back into her pocketbook. Things were looking too good. “I’ll let you know tomorrow,” she eplained, mentally calculating that the stock offered as a settlement was worth about $5,000. Terry Is Pained Druggan looked pained, but he assisted his visitors into their automobile, scared the chickens out of the way, and escorted the car to the imposing entrance to the estate. There his cordial manner congealed as he surveyed a suffering group of humanity that was huddled together behind the locked gates to escape the cold NdVember winds. “Blank, blank, blank,” said bashful Terry. “Are those unspeakable reporters here yet ” And he made a wild sprint for cover as cameras began to click.

Always a Catch Park Avenue Debs End Parties Early So They Can Go to Even More.

Hu United I‘ri xx NEW YORK. Nov. 8 —lt’s getting so the Park avenue debutantes can get to bed before sunrise. The plan formulated last spring by the Junior League and the Parents’ League to end parties by 3 a. m. is working well this season, according to social leaders. The parents have been in favor of earlier closing hours for some time, but they feared their children would protest. However, Miss Mary Delafleld, spokesman for the 1929 debutantes, came out today in favor of shorter parties. "We didn’t like the idea at first,” she said, “because we didn't want to go to bed early. But now we feel so much better the next day after a dance that we ran go to even more parties than we planned.” RECEIVES BELATED FEE Alabama Physician Paid for Work Done 25 Years Ago. SELMA. Ala..
