Reduce Alcohol in Beer;
Cut Down Grain to Brewers
Washington, Nov. 27. Orders re
ducing the alcoholic content of beer
to three per cent will be issued soon
by the food administration, with the
approval of President Wilson. At
the same time the amount of grain
used by brewers will be cut down
approximately thirty per cent, al
though the volume of beer will not
be decided.
In making this announcement to
night, the food administration points
ou that .since there is in the coun
try ' two or three-years' supply of
whisky, it is undersirable at the pres
ent time to stop entirely the brew
ing of beer because of the possibility
ot driving the people to whisky
drinking. The social question in
volved, it is declared, must be given
equal consideration with that of food
conservation.

Can a woman hit a nail with a ham

them fill their mouths full of tacks,
just like a regular carpenter, out at
the Ralston furniture factory, where
they have been employed for the last
three months, to take the places of
men.
"We find that girls adapt them
selves very readily to their work and
in the upholstering department turn
out neater work in finishing than the
men did," said C. O. Brage, superin
tendent of the factory.
One girl, Valeda Rothermund, who
worked in the sewing room before
she began unholstering a little more
than two months ago, is now doing
'piece work" and making more than
a boy of 18 who started two years
ago, according to D. C. Dodds, the
manager. ' s
The girls liki upholstering much
better than sewing, all of them who
had done the sewing agreed. I he
Ralston people believe theirs is the
hrst iactory to take up the innova
tion.
The girls work only eight hours
auy, in good surroundings, light and
warm rooms, and need do no heavy
lifting, as the men take care of that
They start at 15 cents an hour, but
increase their pay rapidly. They are
IS years old or more.

Geneva, Nov. 2?. Commenting
upon Lord Robert Cecil's declara
tion against recognition of Lenine's
regime in Russia, the Journal De
Geneve says:
"Lenine never acknowledged that
Russia had any duties toward its
allies and they must realize that Len
ine rules at Petrograd. His propos
al of an armistice with Germany is
dangerous because, if he can find
even one Russian general to sign
this monstrous treason with him,
the agreement probably would re
sult in the release of 1,000,000 Ger
man prisoners against the allies."
The paper suggests that if Lenine
is to be bought the allies should
buy him.

the action of this American company,
said:
"On the night of Nov. 2-3. this
company, which was in the line for
the first time, met an extremely vio

seized arms and offered such stub
born resistance that the enemy,
though numerically superior, was
obliged to retire."

order of the day, Corporal James
D. Gresham and Privates Merle D.

campaigns. By a new strategy the

which includes the following states:
Illinois, Indiana. Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Minnesota. Michigan. Mis

Fred D. Lynch, national committee-

campaign on on-partisan lines. Up
to date, however, it is said that pre

lines and it was understood that the
republicans were preparing for party
contests next year.
