Unless They're Caught.
The booze runner knows the cop
might get his license numbers, even
though he escape. But IL the car is
not stopped, the bootleg knows he
cannot be charged with running the
blockade-that the only charge to be
offered by the policeman will be that of
speeding" The owner Of the car can
be ascertained through the license
numbers and notified to appear in
court, but the fine for speeding is
small compared to the penalty for
shipping booze into the District
The tricks of the bootleggers, In
importing booze into the District are
many and varied. They are not con-

One Of Latest Tricks.
One of the latest ventures is that
Of burying the booze on farms in
Prince Georges and Montgomery
counties, close to the suburban car
lines. The plan is this:
Car Leaves Main Pike
Outside District Line.
The liquor is bought in Baltimore or
Ellicott City. But the bootlegger does
not come direct into Washington with
the booze-laden car. He leaves the
main pike out in Maryland just be-
yond the District line. In a secluded
spot, in a grave dug for the occasion,
or in a barn, the treasure is hidden or
buried.
Then when the car comes sailing
down the pike and crosses the District
line it is recognized by the police from

But, OF course, some Of the illicit

But scarcely a day passes that the

Crowd Concerning Good Roads.
Music bv Willmar Band.

The Good Roads Social held at the
Svea park last Friday evening was
rousing success from the opening num-
Der by the Willmar Band to the closing
remarks of the last speaker. Estimates
place the number in attendance at two
thousand hailing from six townships
and the county seat. The program COM
menced at eight o'clock with the band
furnishing the opening number. AS
usual they were roundly applauded. At
torney Charles Johnson was the first
speaker Of the evening and chose as
his center topic Laws Governing the
Construction of Public Highways at the
Present Time" and then analysed the
proposed state constitutional amend
ment soon to be acted upon by the
state. State Highway Engineer Charles
Forbes of St. Paul reviewed the wide
scope of work accomplished by the
Highway Commission and showed the
rapid stride of development in the con-
struction of good roads within the
state. County Agent Rodegeb was the
concluding speaker and chose to rep
resent the local farmer, setting forth
their views upon the subject of good
roads.
