Beer, Wines Amend
ment Would Add Half
Billion to Revenues
Washington.—Modification of the na
tional prohibition amendment to per
mit the sale of beer and wioe would
mean an addition to the Government’s
revenues of half a billion dollar s a
year, high treasury officials said yes
terday.
Estimates made in connection with
proposed legislation to legalize the sale
of beer and wine have revealed, offi
cials said, that $600,000,099 yearly
• could be collected in taxes from this
source.
While no indication of the sreasury’s
attitude toward such legislation was
disclosed, it was stated officially, how
. ever, that the treasury would not op
pose such a step. Officials diseussed
t the possibility of such a measure in the
event of the necessity of providing
funds for a soldiers bonus, but did not
indicate that the treasury was consid
• ering anv special measure of financing
to meet such a call upon it.
Concerning the possibility of a tax
. on wine and beer, a high official de~
. clared that at present “the bootleg
gers” were getting the money which
might otherwise be going into the
treasury.

Mother, Locked Out,
Calls Fire Department
Providence, R. I.—Mrs. Catherine
Carley left her house to do some er
rands. Iu her absence her two chil
dren locked her out. With no Key, she
was at a loss to get in until she re
called that her husba.,J, Frederick H.
Carley, had one. He is a hreuiau, Jand
was on duty at the time.
It would be easier, Mrs. Carley
thought, to have her husband bring
j her the key thac go to the tire station
! for it. So she pulled in the lire alarm
I to summon him.
Carlay came with the key, a battalion
i tire chief and his automobile, two en
gine companies, and a ladder truck.
Neighbors also trooped to the scene,
but instead of .'lames saw only a home
locked against the lady of the house
aud her husband letting her in.
Not First Class.
The late Peter Cooper Hewitt, trsill
iouaire inventor of New York, had a
very intimate knowledge of high so
ciety in the world’s caoitals.
Mr. Hewitt, dismissing the English
professional beauties of the SQ’s, said
' one day:
“A famous, or rather a notorious,
professional beautv visited Constanti
nople. Her charms worked havoc
among the Turkish nobility. The snl
, «an himself was smitten.
“At a dinner party on her return
King Fdward, then Prince of Wales,
questioned her about her Turkish con
quests.
“ ‘You made a great hit with the
sultan, I believe,* he said.
‘The sultan,’ she answered, with
enthusiasm, ‘is a dear. He conferred
this decoration on me.’
| “And she displayed a jeweled era
blem which glistened on her white
bosom royally.
i “ ‘It s the order of virtue,’ she ex
plained, and then, lowering her eyes,
she added—‘of the second class.’ ”
