The young man, now 13, shares equally with his two sisters in ownership | of one-half of the, Chicago White Sox, American League baseball club. | His father, John Louis Comiskey, who died recently, left the entire hold- | ings to his widow and three children, expressing in his will the desire that ownership in the club be kept in the Comiskey family at least until | his youngest <hils’ attains the age of 35 years.

CHICAGO.—The world’s stiffest drink is not to be found in any bot- tles lined behind a tavern bar, nor in an Ozark cabin, nor in a jug of Okla- homa liquid lightnin’. Nor in any combination of these. The drink providing the greatest ‘“‘wallop’”’—and resultant hangover— is found among the Quecha Indians in the Peruvian montana region. The name of this potent liquid is ‘‘ayahuasca.” Llewelyn Williams, | curator of the Field Museum of Nat- ural History, described it after a | trip into the Quecha country. ‘““The name ‘ayahuasca’ derives from the dialect words aya, mean- ing death, and huasca, meaning vine.” The drink has a ‘rapid and vio- lent’ effect on the system, Williams said. Ayahuasca is served by the medi- cine man at tribal gatherings. Por- tions average about a cupful. “In about two minutes the effect of ayahuasca becomes apparent to the bystander,” Williams noted. “The drinker turns pale and be- gins to tremble violently. He be- comes very dizzy.” The second stage is ‘‘charming. The drinker announces he sees land- scapes, fruit-laden trees, bright- featured birds and other beautiful things in a rosy world. The transition to the next stage is sudden and violent. The drinker becomes unable to stand, and has hallucinations of snakes, tigers and supernatural beings preparing to at- tack him. ‘““He howls and groans mournfully, and screams unintelligible words,” the curator reported. When the Indian ‘‘comes to” a brigade of friends must sit on him or he will seize his weapons and at- tack the first person he encounters. The final stage is the beginning of | a hangover of several days’ dura- tion. After the drinker’s friends have held him down until the desire to fight leaves him, he becomes | lethargic and lapses into uncon- sciousness. When, finally, the Indian recov- ers, there is a feeling of ‘heavy | drowsiness and a headache which | lasts for several days.” | The drink is used by the Indians | to eliminate fear and stimulate reck- | less bravery. It is described as | “strongly habit forming.” ” River Man Says Glamour Exists on Mississippi ST. LOUIS.—The Mississippi river medium by more modern methods according to Capt.
