Dry Act Father Warns of Homebrew Decline
St Paul April 2. Andrew J Volstead, father of the dry law, says home brewing in America is waning. He cites falling sales of malt syrup and brewing materials, few people having the skill or patience to make beer, and a drop in manufactured moonshine. He notes doctors issue fewer Egypt prescriptions, and says hospitals see less alcohol allotment while enforcement grows tougher in some areas. He praises local judges and district attorneys for cooperation in Minneapolis and St Paul.
