Efforts by the federal authori ‘ties to enforce the SI,OOO tax on beer and liquor dealers in dry states met with a set-back when an injunction was granted by Fed eral Judge W. H. Barrett in Au gusta against the collection of this impost. He held that it was a pen alty and not a revenue measure, and is, therefore, invalid. { Collection Halted A drive by W. E. Page, collec tor of internal revenue, to enforce this tax under instruction from Washington was halted by this in junction. If anything more is done it will be after some decision over iturning the Augusta judge's rul ing is made by federal courts. ‘ Should the Georgia legislature Itgalize beer, the guestion of this }31,000 federal tax would be, set tled, for it applies only to dry | states. That a movemetn will be made in this direction immediate ly on convening of the legislature is a foregone conclusion. Georgia has been dry since 1907, by act of the legislature.

Commissioner Brown succeeded ' in * having ‘the clinic re-established in 1932, and it ran until the stummer of “1933, when it was ordered closed tem porarily hy the hospital sur‘;erin‘- tendent. It has not been re-opened since that time. Made Progress In the last six years the depart ment of health, with the coopera tion of physicians in the commu nity, has made relatively long strides forward in the solution of the venereal disease problem—rve garded by many as the biggest public health problem in the state today. Athens has probably made more progress in solving this prob ’lem than any other community in the state, or, at least it has done ks much, the records indicate. Prior to five or six years ago very little was done to grapple 'with the venereal disease problem, but since that time the health de partment laboratory has made hundreds of tests, some of the patients having Teen sent in by the public health nurses and oth ers by physicians. Last year a total of 1,276 tests were made. Two hundred and seventy-four of these were positive. Of the tests made 808 patients were sent to the department by physicians and 467 by the public health nurses. During the time the health de partment laboratory has been making these tests, several hun dred cases of venereal disease have been uncovered. In 1932, the commissioner of health reported that 232 cases of venereal disease were reported to the department in the preceding year. A total of 117 new cases were registered for treatment#at the clinic, and a total of 311 clinic treatments were given. In 1931 the health department made 980 labo ratory tests for syphilis and gon orrhea. In 1933, Commissioner Brown reported that 204 cases ‘of venereal disease were reported to the de partment of health in the preced ing year. A total of 185 clinic treatments were made, and 33 new cases were registered for treat ment. A total of 916 laboratory tests were made for syphillis and gonorrhea. In his report to the board of health this year, Commissioner Brown declared, “there is urgent need for restoration of the vene real disease clinic which was abolished by officials of the Ath ens General hospital.” To Make Statement Other activities of the Voters Leagu® yesterday included adopt jon of a resolution to make pub lic a statement designed to “clar ify the confusion which seems to exist in the public mind today be tween peace advocacy and Com munism.” This statement will be made by the International Rela tions committee of which Mrs. John Morris is chairman. The League also adopted the Child Labor amendment to the constitution and recommends that it be ratified by the Georgia legis lature. Mrs. M. D. Dunlap was ap pointed Thiarman of the committee to arrange for a Valentine day's bridge party. Mrs. R. P. Brooks is co-chairmah.

There will be only one game, as the girls’ team meets Gratis in Gratis this evening. with the ad mission 10 cents for children and 20 cents for adults. 2 3 Going into the ganie tonight heavy favorites, Coach Sam Gard ner’s Maroon hoopmen are likely to find that the Greensboro tourt men are not as weak as reported and it is very likely that there will be a close contest.: The starting lineup for the local five will #find Rudolph Guest and John Stegeman at forwards, Rob ert Hodgson at center gnd Captain Walter Wilfong and Willie Broach at guards. 2 | Robert Hodgson, the junior cen ter who is playing his first year as regular pivot man for the Ma roons, seems to be the most im proved man on the squad, judging from the showing that he has made during the past week of practice. Before Christmas he did not fare so well but recently he has been passing excellent and doing good work under the basket. Not only Hodgson. but the en tire first team has been looking better than in earlier tilts and they seem ready to “go places and do th'lngs." ‘“Monroe Game Postponed§ The game with the Monroe High quintet scheduled for tomorrow night in Monroe has been post poned, the Athens coach announs4 ced yesterday, at the request of the Monroe team, which has had little or no practice to date.

Playing before some 6,000-odd paid customers last night only the fiery Lott managed to outlast Bill Tilden for a 7-5, 9-11, 9-7 triumph. In the doubles match the tem peramental 'Tilden and his lanky California partner, Ellsworth Vines came out on top 12-10, 2-6, 6-2, 0-6, 6-2. Meantime Stoefen made a belated and disastrous bow to the pro singles game as Vines, a far im proved player from what he was a year ago, sped through with a 7-5, 6-3 conquest. They play in Washington to night.
