Negliges-are lovely gifts for
any woman, no matter
whether you choose one of

batross. The only neglige
essential is that it be femi-
ninety and frivolously pretty.

NEW YORK, Dec. %. - The l,200,-

started from Kentucky on its way to
the Atlantic seaboard is only little
streamlet in comparison with the vol
ume that will very soon be under way
for foreign lands if officers of the

speak. Practically all of the ware
houses of the Kentucky Distilleries and
Warehouse company, subsidiary to
the United States Food Products cor
poration, are to be emptied of their
millions of dollars worth of whiskey
between now and January l6, it was
said. AS most of the liquor is held in
lots of a few thousand barrels by in
dividual owners in the bonded ware
houses, it will be sent to various desti-
nations - England, Norway, Cuba, the
Bahamas; in fact any place where the
agents of the United States revenue
department can't get their hands on
it.
Some of it will be sold, some of it
has been sold, and some of it will be
held in foreign warehouses. Despite
the frequent declarations Of dsstillers
to the effect that there is no European
market for American whishey, it was
said that the United States Food Prod
ucts corporation sold 100000 gallons
abroad within a fortnight.
4 few distillers say that they would
hold their liquor here for medicinal oil
