True, last week's formation of General Industrial Alcohol Corp., merger of General Industrial Alcohol Co., Inc., National Industrial Alcohol Co., Inc., and two smaller industrial alcohol companies, was a matter of no great moment to the Anti-Saloon League or to the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment. Indeed, the U.

Is there any really good reason why these should come at the same time so that the conscientious seeker after a sheepskin will be bound to his books, and only those will be able to luxuriate in an atmosphere of near beer, pretzels and music whose consciences have become muscle-bound from much wrestling or who have taken precautions to provide themselves with umbrellas for protection against the examinatory torrent...
