NOW MUCH KICK IN LEGAL BEER? GIIESSESJIIFFER 4 Per Cent, Says Bingham; Far Less, Opinion of Dry Congressmen. By Rcrippa.Howard Netctpaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—The lmportalt question of what constitutes an intoxicating beverage must be settled before America can blow the foam off a stein of real and legal beer. This question will occupy no small part of the next session of congress, when Democrats endeavor to carry out their platform pledge to modify the Volstead act. The acts prohibits alcoholic beverages containing one-half of one per cent of alcohol or more by volume. The Democratic party’s platform promises to modify this act, to “legalize manufacture' and sale of beer and other beverages of such alcoholic content as is permissible under the Contitution,” and Governor Roosevelt has pledged himself to carry out this planlc. Limit Is in Doubt But what is the maximum alcoholic content permissible under the Constitution? Beer of what per cent alcohol is intoxicating? To what lengths may congress go in raising the maximum provided in the present Volstead act? Senator Bingham (Rep., Conn.), beer advocate, has amassed an imposing array of testimony before the senate manufactures committee, ineluding affidavits and testimony of famous medical and scientific experts to show that 4 per cent beer is not intoxicating under the constitutional meaning. This testimony was rebutted, in part, by experts on the other side, Who contended beer of this strength Would make a person drunk. Hoover View Recalled Herbert Hoover, before ,he was President, said he believed it would be difficult for a person to get drunk on 2.75 per cent beer, and Bingham quoted Andrew Volstead himself as eays that beverages containing 1 per cent of alcohol or considerable more would not be intoxicating. Congressional drys contend that to raise the maximum legal alcoholic content would cause them to violate their oaths of office and the Constitution itself. They contend, with the Volstead act, that the maximum alcohol a beverage may contain and still be nonintoxicating i s less than onehalf of 1 per cent.

SHORTEN SCHOOL TERM Anderson Will Have Eight-Month Session; Blame Tax Bill.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HOOSIER G, 0. P. PINS HOPES ON STOCKJAARKET Rise in Securities Seen as Victory Indication in November Vote. BY WALKER STONE Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—Indiana Republicans will have a chest of gold in November if the “baby boom” of the stock market holds its own. This prophecy was voiced somewhat boastingly Thursday night by Hoosier Republicans here attending President Hoover’s notification ceremony. Cheered by the revival of values in securities, the party functionaries asserted that the trend toward economic normalcy was advancing rapidly. They foresaw the return of contentment and Republican fidelity among Indiana farmers because of the advance in prices of pork, beef, wheat, com and other farm prpducts. Ball Is Optimistic George A. Ball of Muncie, multimillionaire manufacturer of fruit jars, Republican national committeeman from Indiana, who many times in the past has dug into his jeans to replenish the party treasury, refused to discuss party finances, except to say that the Republicans in Hoosierland “usually rake up enough to foot the bill.” Colonel Arthur B. Ayers of Newcastle, oil man, director and stockholder of many corporations, including the Pennsylvania railroad, was vehemently optimistic about the party’s finances and chances of success in November. “Just let the stock market keep climbing, and there’ll be no shortage of campaign funds,” he declared. Sees Watson Re-Election “And my old friend, Jim Watson, is going to be re-elected,” he glowed. George Barnard, attorney of Newcastle and Indianapolis, a member of the firm of Frederick Van Nuys, Democratic nominee for the Watson seat in the United States senate, likewise predicted the triumph of Watson. “We Republicans usually carry Indiana,” he said, “and our majority this year should be between 50,000 and 100,000. “Most Useful Citizen” Is Dead * LAKE GENEVA, Wis., Aug. 12.

LOAN BANKS TO BE LOCATED IN SMALLER CITIES . Great Financial Centers Unlikely to Get New Institutions. BY NED BROOKS Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Aug. 12. —Secondary cities, rather than the nation’s financial capitals, appeared likely today to become headquarters of the regional home loan banks, to be established under the 'government’s newest credit system for relief of mortgage-burdened home owners. Representatives of several cities seeking home loan banks have been told privately by members of the new board that probably no city now having a federal reserve bank will be selected for a home loan bank. Such policy would bar home loan banks in such financial centers as New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia. Cleveland, St. Louis and San Francisco. Franklin Fort, board chairman, has declined to say whether the board will follow this policy. However, the report that the administration favored it was current even before the board was appointed. The argument was advanced that

federal reserve cities should be avoided, to prevent over-centraliza-tion of governmental activity in any city. The board Is expected to limit regional banks, at the outset, to eight, minimum under the law. Columbus, 0., and Ft. Worth, Tex., were regarded as two probable locations. Federal reserve banks for the districts in which these cities are located are at Cleveland and Dallas.

Hemorrhoid Sufferers End Your Pile Misery Quick. No Cutting—No Salves. Thousands of Pile sufferers do not know that the cause of Piles is internal —bad circulation of blood in the lower bowel. That is the scientific truth about Piles —the real reason why salves and suppositories do not give permanent relief. Your Piles will only go when you actually remove the cause—and not one minute before. External treatments can’t do this —an internal medicine should be used. HEM-ROID. the prescription of Dr. T. S. Loonhardt, succeeds because it stimulates the circulation, drives out congested blood, heals and restores the almost dead parts. HEM-ROID tablets have such a re' markable record of success in this city that Hook’s Dependable Drug Stores and all good druggists urge every sufferer to try HEM-ROID and guarantee money-back if it does not end their Piles, no matter how stubborn the case. —Advertisement.
