Origin Of Printers s Devil

In early days printing was styled the black art" and printers were supposed to be in league with Satan. But it was in the time of Aldus Manutius in Venice. that matters took a seri- ous turn. This was the famous printer who first published the Greek and Roman classics. He took into his employ negro boy who was homeless on the streets of Venice. The people supposed the boy was an imp of Satan and helped in the print ing. Mobs collected about to wreck the building when the boy was brought forward and exhib
 ited, and it was shown that he was flesh and blood; but he was still called the printers devil, , and every boy in his position ever since has been so called,

Monroe Furnishes Booze In Plenty

Monroe. La, The liquor traf- fic out of Monroe in automobiles bearing Arkansas tags has reached such large proportions that 1t is attracting much atten- tion here. Arkansas tags are all most as common as Louisiana tags, on the streets of Monroe. A leading wholesale dealer here said that 37 automobiles were loaded in Monroe today for points in Arkansas. The man who gave this information said that every pint of bottled in bond liquor in Monroe was sold today.
 Com plaints have been made that the roads leading out of Monroe toward the Arkansas line have been almost ruined by the constant stream of cars that come and go for liquor. Most of the liquor is carried in cheap suit cases that are now sold in the wholesale liquor houses. The operators of the cars say they get asthigh as $4 a quart for the liquor and that the price is an in centiye to take chances.
 One man who makes regular trips here has an original and unique scheme of transporting liquor without detection. The gasoline tank of his car is locat ed under the front seat. but he has placed 25 gal. tank at rear of the car in such a manner that it appears to be connected with the motor. It has every appear ance of being a gasoline tank. but it contains liquor.
