GOVERNMENT STILL
DETECT0R Of FRAUD
Checks Returns Made by Dis
tiIIeries for Purpose of
Taxation.

The Treasury Department is running an
unlicensed distillery. The law is not being
violated, however. as the plant is operated
solely to detect fraud against the govern
ment by exercising a scientific control
over the commercial distillerieS for the
purpose of revenue taxation on alcoholic
liquors.
The government apparatus is located In
the chemical laboratory of the internal
revenue bureau. The inspectors Of the
bureau are securing the country to secure
the formulas Of every distillery for the
manufacture of their products. Using
these formulas, the government In its own
distillery reproduces these alcoholic
LIQUORS. ascertaining the exact amount
of distilled spirits which should be yielded
by any given quantity Of grain according
TO any given formula These results are
conn AIRED with the returns made by the
distilleries for the purpose of taxation.
In all cases where a marked discrepancy
is displayed the distillery is placed under
suspicion and il the returns prove fraudu-
lent the plant becomes known as a pirate
distillery."
BY this method the government also
holds tight check on the internal rev.
enue officers stationed at distilleries to
guard the revenue. If there is any coll
fusion between these officials and dishon-
est distillers the government dis ,illery
reveals the fact and the official head OF
the employee falls.

GIRL IN SHORT SKIRTS
ADMITS STEALING BABY
Says She Kidnapped Child in
the Hope of Securing
a Reward.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., November 90
Fourteen-year- Grace Studley, wearing
wedding ring which some man gave her
for a joke, has confessed to Chief In
spector Horton that she stole the ten
month-old baby Of julius and Nora Rubin
of Attleboro, Mass. from the entrance of
department store. She said she stole
the child in hope Of getting reward and
that of a poor couple.
The girl with the baby was arrested
Monday. She had been missing from
home for two weeks and when her moth
err saw her at police headquarters the
older woman was only restrained from
spanking the girl when the detectives in
tervened.
Expected to Get Reward.
The confession came wholly unexpected.
after the police had tried several hours
to get the little girl to tell the truth.
She had stuck to her story that she met
man named Walter johnson In the
street with the baby. But, confronted
by the infants mother and father, she
calmly admitted that she took the child,
having been told that she might get re-
one had told her about a reward and she
took the child entirely on her own re-
sponsibility.
"Now, tell the mother and father what
you took their baby for" Inspector Hor-
ton finally urged.
81 thought I'd get a reward" was the
simple answer.
Has the Police Guessing.
The girl astonished the police not only
by her youthful and apparently innocent
appearance. but by the nonchalant and
careless manner in which she answered
questions, and the apparent unconcern
she showed.
The gray dress she Is wearing comes
but a little below her knees, and she
has a long brown polo coat. From her
black velvet hat a white plume comes
far down over her face and conceaIs her
eyes, dark, luminous and large Her
face is finely nodded and she Is very
pretty.
On sight of the girl Mrs. Rubin threw
up her hands and expressed astonishment
that such q slight, childish-appearing
miss could have caused all the trouble.

HUNTING.
VI-THE WILD TURKEY.
Bv Frederic J. Haskin.

Keys with dog, for the reason that a
dog scatters the birds better than can
be done by any other method, and the
better they are scattered the easier it is
too, dog is invaluable in trailing a
wounded bird. Still hunting. just tip
ping along, watching and listening, will
get turkey meat sometimes. It is good
sport to track drove through the snow.
sometimes a hunter locates a roost wait
Tor day to break and then picks a few
OF them of. This is a questionable meth
%, however. and hardly gives the bira a
fair chance.
But calling with the "yelper" is the
thrilling way to pull down a big gobbler
and match the skill of the hunter against
the rare cunning of the bird 1t is in
the mating season that turkeys-that is,
gobblers-do most Of their yelping, and
good caller and know how to use 1t. too
ealing turkeys was handed down from
the Indians They employed many meth
DDS. Most Of them survive and few good
ones have been added.
A hollow cedar box with resin rubbed
on II. and the noise made by drawing a
piece Of shale or slate on the edge of
the box, was. and still is. a successful
method Of calling. A short piece of cane
tightly fitted into one a little larger is
good. Callers can be made by inserting
the smaller bone Of the turkey wing into
the larger one. blade of grass or a
leaf can be made to talk just like a
turkey In the hands Of an expert Some
callers use nothing artificial at all, but
do the calling with their threats. Oc-
casionally one hears Of a live gobbler
from the barnyard being used for a decoy
IN the gobbling season. An old turkey
hunter In southern state had a famous
live decoy turkey by means of which he
had killed many fine gobbler He would
carrying the big fellow to the woods in a
sack, tie him out to q bush, and then
make him gobble. Time and again wild
gobblers would slip up to trim the in
truder, only to get place In the sack
for their reward.
But one day the hunter did not get
there soon enough. "Old Pete" the live
decoy. was tied out as usual. He gobbled
vaingloriously and in a jiffy there was a
Topping and rustling Of wings. The
hunter sped to the scene of the fight as
swiftly as possible. but with all his speed
was too late. The wild turkey had put
out both of Pete's eyes and then made
off like lightning at the first glimpse of
the hunter. Old Pete was wrecked and
ruined and he soon died.
