BOOZE TRADE IN

GROWING
Raids, Fines and Jail Terms

Campaign of Fear Will
Be Inaugurated.
(By United Prcss.)

Tacoma, Oct. 13.-Raids, trials,
fines and imprisonments have failed
to stop bootlegging in the state Of
Washington.
So prohibition enforcement of-
ficials have decided to try to nut
the fear of death into the drinking
public, hoping that method of at
tack may produce better results.
Propaganda bulletins, it has been
decided. will be issued, setting forth
the precise nature of illicit booze,
with descriptions Of the symptoms
induced by the various chemicals in
moonshine whiskey.
The Washington state health de-
rartment will assist in the campaign.
1t has announced to the public that
unless drinkers cut down their con-
sumption OF homemade liquor,
deaths in the next three years, due
to moonshine whisky. will exceed
the American death roll in the world
wa.
There is noysneh thing as pure
moonshne." says Dnald A. McDon-
aid. state director of the federal
prohibition forces. "Thc fermenta :
i.
pruncs, grains and potatoes gener-
ates fusel oil and other dangerous
chemicals. The metal containers in
which the mash is cooked give OFF
deadly poisOns. One run of whisky
from a homemade still may be rela-
lively harmless, and the next high
ly dangerous, Chemical whisky has
been carefully purified and aged
for years. The moonshiner ages his
over night, and then snoaks it into
tho market"
The seizing Of stills and heavy fin
ing doesn't seem to decrease the out
put OF illicit whisky, according to
Mcdonald. In cellar and attic, in
mountain cavern and city 'slum, out
law hooch plants are producing,
night and day, and hardly a week
passes without the report of at least
one death, Mcdonald says.

Fiorello LaGuardia, in response
to QUESTIONABLE sent out by the

consider the use of agents provoca-

That the money will in reality be

Commissioner Enright that the uses

monies was practiced by the ancients.
At the laying Of the cornerstone when
the capitol of Rome was rebuilt pro-
cession of vestal virgins. robed in
white, surrounded the stone and con-
secrated 1t with libatlons of living
water. A prayer to the gods followed,
and then the magistrates, priests, sem
atOrs and knights laid hold of the
ropes and moved the mighty stone to
It's proper position. In a hollow cut
in the stone were placed ingots Of
gold, silver and other metals which
had not been melted I'm any furnace.
With the Jews the cornerstone was
considered an emblem of power, and
they also performed ceremonies at its
laying. In medieval times the rite
was taken up by the order of Free
masons and has by them been brought
down to modern days, the Masonic
ceremony of laying cornerstone be
ing symbolical.
