SuiTAr And Liqum*
Enough sugar was used in North Ca^
sa last year in manufacture of illicit
DDshine sugarhesd) liquor to supply
pound each week for four weeks to
person in the state.
This is not our guess work. That is in-
fetation releasedP by the alcohol' tax unit
the federal government.
Their estimate was based on records ot
own violations of the federal liquor tax
vs.
To make our own estimate we would
. to that an underternrined sum for the
ousands of violations, the many moon-
stills which the officers did not lo-
ate and which used vast amounts of su-
.Now sugar will be rationed for domestic
because of the war. Each person will
allowed only so much, perhaps as little
one half pound per week.
Sugar will be rationed because the
Available supply, after war needs are fill-
1, will be only that amount for each per-
on.
All sugar used for making liquor will be
liat much less for the tables of American
komes.
These f.acts should stir the patriotism of
JVery American.
No longer can any person say that the
iking of liquor does not affect hi? home.i
nt the waste of sugar in manufacture of
^que r.
j ^me hav'e aeiended illicit liquor making
th the argument that it provides some
jple with a means of making a living.
We personally know several people who
|uit the liquor business to engage in useful
idertakings.
In every case their circumstances are
[inch better than while they were making
Iquor. There is not a single exception to
statement, m.ade without the slightest
ar of successful contradiction.
Necessity Is The Mother . . .
I Rabbits pulled out of a hat—that’s what
Igic means to many people. But here in
lerica today there’s a better kind of
. jic.
I There’s magic in the speed with which
industries are tackling the hard, grim
|k of winning victory—magic, yes, and a
aat deal more than magic. The succe^
ries of swiftly rising production are oi-
spectacular, but behind the glamor
are are plenty of tales of plain, hard
rk and the kind of determination to
fceed that made America, and made it
it.
iecently another such story came to
Jit. American mining engineers have de-
Jhped a new process to produce valuable
||tals from ore that used to be worthless,
they use those metals to make vitally
jed chromium and aluminum. In that
, they help to offset the shortage caus-
*by the reduction of imports since the
