BLENDS WHISKY WITH
GASOLINE; SEEKING lob

a Washington dispatch to the Ney
Iork World today says:
A very rich man with a big es-
tate in the District of Columbia
has flock of automobiles and
garage accommodations accord
ingly. He has been getting his
gasoline by wholesale. At inter
walls one of the big tank trucks
drives into his place. His garage
chief pipes the gasoline into his
reservoir.
Sometimes the gas truck arrives
it at the garage for the night.
When the garage boss comes on in
the morning he empties it.
This tank truck gave the owner
OF the place great idea. There
are still places in the wilds of
MARYLAND where bold and lawless
spirits can buy standard WHISTLES.
He bought five barrels. Then he
borrowed a new tank truck that
had never had a drop of gasoline
in it. though properly decorated.
In a barn outside Baltimore the
barrels were emptied into the tank
and. unhindered by any federal
scout. it numbered along the Balti-
more pike. came into the District
after dark and went it's way.
This morning the garage super
intendent saw tank truck stand
ing by the garage. He poked the
end of the hose into the reservoir.
turned the faucet handle and went
off to breakfast.
Now a competent garage boss is
looking for a job and rich man
is wondering what to do with
tank full of whisky blended with
gasoline.
