Hill, a leader of wets in the House, based his statement upon decisions of , court* in a case brought against him by the government because he manu factured such cider and wine in his home. The case, he said, was tried under section 29, of the Volstead act, per mitting the manufacture-In the home of non-intoxicating cider and wine. The jury held liquors of this alcoholic content were not intoxicating and lhe government did not appeal. Representative Hill was the first of a number of members of the House who appeared to close the case for the wets. At the outset it was agreed that the wets could take up the remainder of their time with argument at the close of the presentation by the drys.

MINISTER SA¥S PRESS IS FAIR TO CHURCHES Dr. John T. Brabner Smith Urges Christian Co-Operation Between the Two. Birmingham, Ala., April 14.—The church and the press were discussed at the- Interqational Council of Re ligious Education in convention here yesterday. Lack of definite knowledge of the church by the press, cause s irrita tion, misunderstanding, criticism,” declared Dr. John T. Brabner Smith. Chicago, in charge of the secular press publicity of the world service commission of the Methodist Epis copal church. Addressing the church and Sunday school publicity confer ence. Dr. Smith said ‘’the church can find no better medium than the newspapers for, advertising its wares and spreading the gospel. Christian co-operation with and pot criticam of newspapers is urgently neeff&T. He expressed satisfaction with his contact with press associations, say ing they had given fair and accurate treatment to all church news he had turned over to them. “In my official work,” he said, “I have sumitted much material to the Associated Press and have always had splendid co-operation and honest treatment. It is ridiculous to say the Associated Press is controlled by a particular church or bueine'ss or financial interest or ‘an insidious in fluence’ is back of it. ‘‘The Associated Press is a group of more than 1,200 newspapers working for the common good. It's representatives are men, human like other men. They may err, unwitting ly. So do preachers. They may make mistakes So do the clergy. But in all dealings with the Associated Press, I have not had one single instance of any news article I have given being distorted or misquoted. “Nevertheless the Associated Press always reserved the right to use or reject any news submitted, but when Ij give news to it I am never worried because it is given honest treatment and is in reliable hands. The Asso ciated Press in its eo-operation and helpfulness is a powerful friend of the churches and of any worthy and righteous cause.” Employed Boys to Give Gym Exhibit.
