According to revenue officials In
Lexington, KY. prohibition Is being
aided even by evaporation and leakage
Of whisky which is being held In bar
rels by the government. There are
8,224,O16 gallons Of whisky held in the
Lexington district alone. 1t is valued
at many millions Of dollars. Fully as
much more is held in other revenue
districts In the state.
Revenue men say that In 10 years
this whole amount will have gone TO
"staves," meaning evaporation and
leakage from the wood will leave only
the aroma. To prove this, 1t was
shown at the revenue effice that In
1880, at Paris, KY, $50 barrels Of
whisky was not bottled for IA years.
Then 1t was decided to put 1t into
new barrels. When the old barrels
were opened not over two gallons re-
NAMED In each barrel, so remOrseless
