orally will be expected to support the
entire program. The enforcement Of
the law in this way will not depend
on the number Of officers on the job,
but on the vigilance and faithfulness
OF the law-abiding public"
In his appeal before the Senate
Committee Mr.. Roper said:
THE more I consider the volume
and Importance of the work incident
to the enforcement of prohibition, the
more I am convinced of the wisdom
Of the Secretary of the Treasury in
requesting that this work be not
lodged with the Bureau of Internal
Revenue. Prohibition has no relation
whatever to our fiscal program, and
1 am satisfied that it could be more
successfully administered apart from
the tax machinery than if associated
with it
Nucleus fer n Force.
Mr.. Roper has a small unit about
which he will build an organization to
enforce the law. He will need a large
sum Of money to do it wellt When the
war time act went into efIeet he had
approximately 600 storekeepers and
gaUgers in actual service. In addition
he had about 150 raiders. He thinks
that the raiders can be used as
nucleus for a new force.
The bill will be ready for the sigma

within the next ten days. The House
and Senate conferees will report it

that it be agreed to, The belief is

it is regarded by many as a crude

WHY MOTHER GRAHAM SAID
IT'D BETTER TACKLE

7 agreed with my mother-in-law $
conjecture that the man who had
sent me the note by the hands of
his japanese servant must know all
about me. There are few persons
in my present world who know that
my name was Margaret Spencer be-
fore my marriage. l almost COM

rarely ask personal questions.
Conjectures however wouldn't
help me so hurried on with the
reading Of the body of the letter in
the hope that I would discover some
clew TO the identity of the sender
from its phraseology.
I'VE are sorry, indeed, that we
are compelled TO take this method

letter began, sorry that we have to

Paper Shortage Due
to Spruce Scarcity

While the house post Office COM

duce their consumption Of paper for
six months in an effort 20 relieve the
shortage. and laws and recommen-
dations of one sort or another are
proposed TO curtail the demand for

shortage. II is asserted by the manu-
facturers. because Of the scarcity OF
spruce trees, from which paper is
made. The eastern spruce trees are
small and an acre OF woods will
yield on an average only three and
one-third tons OF paper. Two hun
dred thousand acres OF forest must
be cut down each year TO furnish
