New Checks Planned TO Trace
Owners and End Illicit Manu-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8--In an ef-
fort to end illicit distilling Of intoxi-
eating liquor, the Treasury Department
decided to-day to tighten regulations
on the sale Of stills and add another
check in tracing their users.
Manufacturers are required by the
new regulation to report all sales. the

the stills are to be set up. Names of
manufacturers must be securely at
tached to the articles sold, and sworn

chasers setting forth the purposes for
which stills are to be used.
Until the manufacturer has complied
with the new regulations he is not per-
mitted to allow the still to leave his
warcroom. Such sales cannot be con-
summated until a permit or certificate
has been granted by the local internal
revenue authorities.
Details Of the stills specifications
are demanded, as we'll as the produc-
ton capacity on a per diem basis.
Copies of this information must be
preserved by the manufacturer and the
purchaser and third copy delivered to
the internal revenue agent at the place
Of sale.

how the $1,000 limit might be nulli-
fled
THE National Committee" he said,
"is asking for fund Of $4,000 900,
but there is also 100000 fund being
raised for the benefit of the Republican

you business men and inancicrs from
contributing to both funds.
while you are restricted to $1,000 in
your contributions to tie S3,ocn,OOO
fund, you are not restricted in your
contributions to the Senatorial fund. So,
if you feel inclined, after contributing
to the national campaign fund, you are
welcome to contribute any amount to-
ward the 100000 fund.
