TRAINING BETTERS HIS STATE
Young chicagoan Is Aided to Higher
Wage by the Department
Of Labor.

Washington.-HOw an unskilled
workman increased his wages 60 per
cent In six months through the work
of the training service department of
labor is revealed In the story of a
young man who six months ago went
to Chicago machine shop and foun-
dry looking for job. His only ex-
perience had consisted In pushing a
wheelbarrow to and from concrete
mixer.
They gave him n job us sweeper,
but after working in the shop few
weeks he became interested In the ma
chimes, particularly the boring mills
and hand screw machines. Because
he spent more time watching the mn-
chimes than in working, he fell behind
In his work. but the foreman learning
of his attraction toward the machlnes.

form 20 in duplicate. This applies to
all stills OF whatever size or for what
ever purpose intended, whether for
distillation Of spirits or for pharm-
aceutical or other purposes except as
to small glass laboratory stills. PER-
atty for failure to register still is a
forfeiture of the still or distIlling ap-
paratus which Is not so registered, to-
gether with all personal property in
the possession or custody or under con-
troll of such offender and found in his
building or in any yard or inclosure
connected with the building In which
the same may be set up.
Tip for Homo DistiIIers.
"a person who makes n mash fit for
distillatiOn is held to be distiller
even though he does not vaporize or
condense the spirit. A mash fit for
distillation is fermented beer in
which alcohol Is generated. Obviously
the making of such mash is not per-
missible in the home brewing of beer
or home production of spirits, since
1t renders the manufacturer liable as
an Illicit distiller. Penalty for Illicit
distilIation is forfeiture of the distil-
lery and distllling apparatus and all
distilled spirits and raw materials for
the production of distilled spirits found
on the distillery premises, and fine
of not less than $500 or more than $5,-
600 and imprisonment of not less than
six months or more than three years."

Famine was reigning in Petrograd.
The first category (working people of
bolshevik sympathies) received one

make flour for bread. For Christmas
the PetrOgrad inhabitants received two

Wait for Bread Two Days.
"The situation at vologda was the

no private commerce. The shops were

after a long journey ON foot through

When such prisoners reach the terri
