LAGER LOVERS HERE PREFER BOTTLE BEER And There’s Reason; They Are Sure of Getting Al! They Pay For. (Continued From Page One) tailers, wholesalers and the brewers. Two breweries, the Mid-West and Capital City, have applications for licenses and may be ready to operate within the next twelve months in competition with the city's sole brewery. Deeper Than Price But the tracers of why the city prefer* bottled beer to the keg variety go deeper than the price. Take, as an example, one place in the city where 5-cent beer is advertised. The proprietor has twelve-ounce steins. You can fill one of those steins with water and they’ll measure twelve ounces. But go in and order a stein at 5 cents and, as you lift the beer to your lips, you’ll notice a high collar. Let that stein settle and what was a purported twelve-ounce stein turns out to be only slightly more than eight ounces of actual beer. The rest in suds. The beer is wild. The seller of that draught beer could make but 50 cents a gallon gross profit, at present prices, if he gave the buyer a full twelve ounce stein for 5 cents. He says he pays a certain price for that beer. If he makes more than 50 cents profit, then he’s receiving either a cut on the beer sold to him, or he’s giving the public an eight to ten-ounce stein for 5 cents and the public wipes the suds from a figurative mustache and leaves believing it got twelve ounces of beer. .Some Substitute But the honest beer seller meets with another trick of the trade with which he must compete and that is the retailer, and there’s but a few of them, who sell cheaper beers lor higher-priced brands. If the customer is not acquainted with the particular taste of his favorite brew he drinks it, satisfied or dissatisfied, whichever the case may be. No labels are on the taps. The customer has only the bartender’s word and his own sense of taste to tell him whether he’s getting the brew he purchased. One wholesaler proposes an amendment to the state law which requires that each beer tap have a label showing the brand of beer in that tap. But other critics of this method say that the “cheater” could switch the brands of beer kegs on the public and that only a state inspector could locate the duplicity while making the rounds of beer sellers. Need Bartenders The lack of good bartenders and inexperience of many at the beer spigots also is said to be one of the reasons that a full measure for one's money is not forthcoming. “In the old days, a good bartender would get practically every ounce out of his keg of beer and the customer would get nearly every ounce coming to him. The old-timer never wasted the collar, for if it was too high, it was flopped into a glass beside a spigot to be used to fill up other steins,” one former saloon keeper said. “Then, too.” he continued, “beer was sold —that is brands —exclusively in saloons owned by breweries. The brewery agent always could throw in extra half-kegs for treats on the house and to take care of anv waste that might accrue through high collars or wildness of the foam.” Groceries selling beer to take home also are said to be responsible for the large sale of bottled beer in Indianapolis. Handling Cost Higher “Bottled beer has cut inroads into the ranks of the home brewers and keg beer, if reduced in price, would swing the final punch,” one retailer asserts. The cost of handling bottled beer from brewery to retailer is higher than keg beer. The ony possibility for more for your money from bottled beer would be a hike of two ounces in the brew undcT glass with a fourteen-ounce bottle or a reduction in the case cost. And so when a consumer calls for a bottle of "Foamy Brew” instead of a stein, he knows that he's getting full weight in beer and not merely air bubbles. He is content with that, only hoping and praying for the day when he can quaff nickel steins of beer with an honest ten to twelveonuce measure.

DANZIG TEETERS ON VOLCANO OF HATE

Poles and Germans at Dagger's Point Over Rule of Free City

What it going on in Germany under Mail rule, led by Chancellor Adolf Hitler, it told be George Britt from flrtt-band observation following his return from an extensive star. Tbit is the seventh in a series of articles. BY GEORGE BRITT. Time* Special Writer LOVELY old Danzig, set up by the Versailles treaty as a free city and placed, like a small cork, in the bottle neck of the Polish Corridor, is one of the two or three most explosive spots in the world. Danzig is a city of splendid towers, of incredible carved stone ornamentation, of ancient streets running down to arches which look out on the river—a treasure city which well might be put under a glass . case. It is the world’s capital for amber, the producer of a famous smoked salmon and of that odd liqueur, goldwasser, the birthplace of Schopenhauer and Fahrenheit, who gave his name to the thermometer. It is as likely a could be named for a city w’hich some day may be bombarded into a wilderness of brickbats and shellholes. It has one of the best harbors on the Baltic, at the mouth of that Vistula river, which is Poland’s outlet for trade, and the Poles and the Germans each may destroy it because they love it so. Calmed down from their angry gestures of last March, both parties in Danzig still hate each other. They make almost no pretense of getting along. “Don’t believe anything anybody tells you in Danzig,” said an American in Berlin before I started out. “Just discard everything, from Poles and Germans alike, and then make up your own mind.”

One would require a motor truck to haul away all the controversial literature handed one in Danzig. The Polish scholars have written exhaustive treatises with maps, tables, photographs and footnotes, showing their rights to the Corridor and their fair dealing with Danzig. And on every point an equal number of German scholars have proved exactly the reverse, historically, geographically and economically. B B B THE German newspaper in Danzig. Der Vorposten, carries the slogan, “Zuruck zum Reich,” or "Back to Germany.” A polish official said to me, “We never will let Danzig go back.” From the tower of the Katharinen Kirche, one hears the chimes defiantly play the Nazi hymn, “Horst Wessel.” The Poles this summer have been boycotting the fine casino and pleasure resort of Zoppot, in Danzig territory, a heavy blow' to both finances and pride. The Poles in Danzig have their own separate postal service, which irritates the majority population. They land ammunition at frequent intervals at the Wester - platte, their own munitions base at the harbor entrance, thereby repeatedly closing the port at inconvenient times. Almost completely German, the city was wrenched away from Germany by the treaty to give Poland access to the sea. Now Poland has built her own harbor, Gdynia, ten miles away, and is cutting Danzig’s natural trade in half. The Nazis control Danzig as thoroughly as they control Germany. Many Danzig citizens and officials are also citizens of Germany and go home to vote in German elections. “Heil Hitler” is heard here, just as beyond the Polish corridor in Germany. A former president of Danzig proceeded back to Berlin to become first burgomaster there, and the present president as one of his first duties after election went to Berlin to pay his respects to Hitler. a a a THIS president, Dr. Hermann Rauschning, a moderate and

studious man, landowner of the Junker type, not a fanatical partisan, is the chief hope of peaceable neutrals. The political boss, however, is Albert Forster, the Nazi “gauleiter” and the editor of Vorposten. He is a typical case of the German sent in to strengthen the grip on Danzig. He has resided here less than two years and is not a citizen. He is better, an “honorary citizen,” one of only three so recognized. the others being President von Hindenburg and the local favorite, Field Marshal von Mackensen, who was a commander here before the war. Herr Forster’s roots are back in Germany, where he is a member of the Prussian council of state. Only the Danzig constitution stands in the way of the utter Nazification of the Free City. The constitution, backed by the League of Nations and defended by the league’s high commissioner here, still insures certain individual liberties and prevents extreme racial discrimination against the Jews. But only a few Jews, justly suspicious of all things Nazi, have come to Danzig as refugees. On

De Valera Calls England Meddler in Irish Affairs

President of Free State Charges Actions Keep Strife Menacing. BY GEORGE MACDONAGH United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1933. by United Press) DUBLIN, Irish Free State, Sept. 18.—Eamon De Valera, fiery president of the Irish Free State, today bluntly placed the blame for the recurrent and dangerous political strife in Ireland at the door of England. In an exclusive interview with the United Press, the president declared ♦hat the British government for the past year and a half had been trying to foster a political movement which w'ould blast the Fianna Fail —his party-out of power and put in an administration “ready to accept any terms Britain might dictate.” He made these charges in answer to "questions regarding the new fusion party headed by General Eoin O’Duffy. The party is semi-Fascist in tone and violently anti-De Valera. It was formed by the merger of the major opposition groups, including the followers of former President William T. Cosgrave, and has as its aim above all else the ejection of De Valera from the presidency. De Valera expressed gratification at the fusion movement and almost jubilantly accepted the challenge to his power and popularity. “For the last eighteen months,” the professorial president said, “the British government appears to have believed a fusion of our opponents would lead to the Fianna Fail’s being driven out of office and replaced by an administration ready to accept any terms which Britain might dictate. “The result of this merger will soon prove to the British this new

Mrs. Nellie M. Robinson, 504 West drive, Woodruff Place, did a good turn Saturday which cost her sll. She told police that while she was at Ninth and Meridian streets, a man approached her begging for some change. She replied she had no money. The man walked away and returned in a few minutes. “I am blind in one eye and crippled,” he said. “Won't you help me across the street?” Mrs. Robinson tucked her purse under her arm and helped the man. Soon after he was out of sight, she discovered her purse had been taken. THIEF TAKES PICNIC ‘MAKINS’ WORTH $8 Pop, Pickles and Mustard in Loot From Park Stand. Somewhere Sunday, someone enjoyed a picnic at the expense of Mrs. Ella McKee, Negro, 943 North Tremont street, who operates an amusement stand in Douglass park. But it was no picnic for Mrs. McKee. She reported to police the loss of such items as a package of ice cream cones, two cases of soda pop. one large jar of pickles and a jar of mustard, all valued at SB.

FOUR MAKE ESCAPE FROMJLOODED PIT Another Remains in Mine in Pennsylvania. By United Press WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Sept. 18.— Four miners, given up as dead, struggled through water Sunday to escape unhurt from the flooded Truesdale mine, where they had been trapped for fifteen hours. Somewhere in the water-logged underground workings they left a fifth man who had become separated from their party in the successful struggle to escape death in the Wyoming valley’s worst flood in years. Two deaths were reported soon after creeks overflowed Saturday. Andrew Smith Jr., 29, of Ashley, w’as drowned in Solomon’s creek, when a section of bank collapsed. John Wasilewski, 45, of Nanticoke, employe of the mine where the five men were trapped, died from exhaustion as he was fleeing the rising waters. Conservative estimates by rescue workers and public officials placed the damage at $1,000,000. The missing miner is Raphael Sweeney, 45, a foreman. A storm cellar which is a big steel cylinder is being sold in the tornado belt.

wise been bad citizens, moralizing that these are Jewish characteristics. “There is no persecution of Jews,” said a Danzig citizen. “Before Hitler came in, a few' Jews were beaten up. That has been stopped. The only thing now' is that occasionally some Jews may be caught and their beards tied together, just as a joke.” In suppressing the Socialists, the Nazis have been more successflu. There is a Socialist newspaper in Danzig, the Volkstimme, but it never criticises, never attacks, frequently publishes almost identical opinions as does the Vorposten. Still, the constitution forbids censorship of the press. The Socialist Volkstimme has been brought under control by the power of finance, not political force. It seems that before Hitler came into v power the paper obtained a large loan from the Socialist Avbeiter bank in Berlin. BUB THE Hitlerites confiscated the bank and its funds. And when they found the Volkstimme’s note they sent it promptly to Herr Forster in Danzig. So the Nazis don’t censor the Socialist paper. They are just prepared, if it prints a line they don’t like, to throw it into bankruptcy. A legal supervisor has been put in to look after the interests of this important creditor, and he takes a look at everything it prints in advance. Amidst all the potential dynamite of Polish-German hatred, amidst the sniping and recriminations on both sides, the most pacifying element in Danzig today, strangely enough, consists of these fire-eating, Jew-baiting, worlddisturßing Nazis. The Hitler policy now is peace. Very frankly the Nazis tell why “Germany doesn’t w’ant war,” they say, “now. It would be the worst thing that could happen. So we are leaving nothing undone to get along smoothly with the Poles.” Dr. Rauschning, the president, made a state visit to Warsaw this summer, the first friendly gesture in years, and the Polish president is expected any day now to return the courtesy. Given assured peace, the position of high commissioner in Danzig would be one of the world’s sinecures. All that is demanded under those circumstances would be to live in dignified style in the fine old house once occupied by Field Marshal von Mackensen. The ancient Von Mackensen butler still officiates in the mansion.
