Nation Works Hard to Adjust Self to New Order Brought on by Repeal
DRY POLITICAL
EVILS TO BE
PLOMDER
WASHINGTON Dec. —A
nation that had made federal
prohibition Juat a repealed con-
stitutional amendment worked hard
today to adjuat Itself to the new
ardet of things.
And. surprisingly to some the
19 states whose laws permitted the
•ale of hard liquor after Utah late
yesterday became the 36th to
ratify rep?al bad comparatively
few citizens feeling the worse to-
day for celebrations. Throughout
the country the festivities seemed
to lack the fervor some had fort-
8 apply Is Scant
In many cases the supply was
•cant; in several slates regulatory
set-ups had not been completed
•o the liquor suppliers were tew.
There were too. many lndica
tlons that a nur.ber ol state oi-
licials expected to follow the lead
of Pres. Roosevelt who in pro-
claiming repeal of the nearly U-
year-old law stated his future
aims In these words:
“The policy of the government
will be to sec to It that the sacral
and political evils that have exist-
ed in the pre-prohibition era shall
not be revived nor permitted again
to exist. *
He asked “especially that no
state shall by law or otherwise
authorize the return of tne sanon
either In its old form or in some
modern guise ’ and said the “ob-
jective we seek through a national
policy la the education of every
Citizen toward a greater temiter-
anoe throughout the nation."
Many Problems
The organisation he was creating
to effectuate that declared policy
plugged away on the hundreds of
problems necessitated by the repeal
of a law which left no regulatory
statutes in Its place. The recovery
and agricultural acts witn tneir
code provls.ona were being used
until congress could enact necessary
laws.
Distillers brewers and Importers
already were under cedes; hearings
had just been held on one tor the
fecAifiers and blenders.
Numerous attempts were being
made to keep bootleggers from
profiting by the expected Increased
demand. Joseph H. cmoa»e Jr.
who is head of the new federal
aloohol oontrol administration in
one of his first orders tried to speeu
legitimate supplies.
Dryi *Not Through*
The temporary lhuor import
•ommittee which he heads con-
tinued Issuing permits (or im-
mediate importation of American-
type bourbon and rye wtuskey
•unable for blending. The commit-
tee did not aay how much of that
liquor would be admitted but ol-
flctais estimated Canada had nearly
10000 000 gallons which co..id be
Imported into the United States.
Negotiations continued with other
oountrles for trade pacts whereby
their spirits and wines might be
exchanged for American l arm
lurpluses
These were tout a few of the
problems that occupied Washington
Officials The states had as many
01 more. And from leading pro-
hibitionists came warnings tna*
the fight was not over yet.

HICKORY N C. ?j?V-Who said
there’s no romance in Industry?
A hosiery packer In a Hickory
knitting mill wrote the name of
Miss Ethel Murphy on a piece of
i paper and enclosed It In a box of
ren’s sock* two yesrs ago
Harry Derobort of New York City
bought that particular box read
the name and wrote he a lette*
lust out of curiosity. She replied
and regular correspondence Nu-
lowed.
Not so long ago practically all
cigarettes were made by hand *
Now Chesterfields are made by high-speed machines
that turn out 750 cigarettes a minute and the
cigarettes are practically not touched by hand.
BY the use of long steel
oven*—drying machines
of the most modern type—and
by ageing the leaf tobacco for
30 months—like wine is aged
— Chesterfield tobacco is
milder and tastes better.
Only pure cigarette paper—
the best made — is used for
Chesterfield.
And to make sure that every-
thing that goes into Chester-
field is just right expert chem-
ists test all materials that are
used in any way in die manu-
facture.
Chesterfield* are made and
packed in clean up-to-date
factories where the air is
changed every 4>i minutes.

— reaches you just as if you
