SMUGGLING BOOM lhI0 4.
TO REPUBLICAN CONGRESS
Economy" Blamed for inability
OF Officers to Enforce .
Prohibition Laws

Washington. Aug. 15.-Desire of
Republican members of Congression-
al appropriations committees to eff
feet an apparent saving in appro-
priatioHs merely Sor campaign use is
responsible for the inability to en-
force Prohibition laws properly and
guard against smuggling.
This direct charge was made by
officials of the Treasury Department,
who pointed out that earnest recon-
mendatons made to the appropria-
tions committees for sums sufficient
to employ force large enough to
carry out the provisions Of the Pro-
hibition and customs laws were
either ignored or killed on the floor.
At the last session of Congress
the Treasury Department recon-
mended the app opriation Of an
additional S1,G06,000 for the en-
forcement of Prohibition from Janu-
AIRY to June of this year. This ap-
preparation was refused because of
the opposition of Representative
Good.
Later, the department recommend
ed the inclusion of S2,O0O.000 in the
Sundry Civil Bill for this purpose,
and while it was killed in the House
the Senate voted S2,3O0,OOO for the
customs service with the understand
ing that at least 100000 was to be
used to enforce the Volstead law. In
conference he total sum was reduced
to S1,000,O00, with the specific pro-
vision that not cent be used to EN-
fo,ce Prohibition.
In making the recommendation
for the appropriation Treasury Off
cials pointed out that the customs
service is charged with the duty OF
preventing smuggling and that pre-
v;ous to the passage of the Prohibit
tion Act the force was barely suffi-
cient to carry out the law, but with
the additional burden of preventing
the importation of rum. lit is an
absolutely hopeless proposition un-
less our force can be increased to at
least twice its present size"
Neither the customs laws nor the
Prohibition laws can be rigidly en-
forced with the present available
uumhar of apantS a bipb official
said.

INDEPENDENT PAPER
BACKS cox AND LEAGUE

New York, Aug. 16.-Under the
heading, For the League of Ma
tions and Cox" the New York Even
ing Post, one of the great independ-
ent newspapers of the country, to-
day editorially pledges its full sup
port to the Democratic nominees on
the national ticket. The Evening
Posts editorial reads:
''The paramount issue in the Presi
Dental campaign is the treaty of
peace and the League of Nations with
safeguarding reservations. Shall
America keep faith with her part
ners in the war Shall America join
with them in the only honorable
and effective way of making peace
with Germany? Shall America en-
ter heart and soul on the work of
maintaining the peace Of the world
as she did on the task of winning
the war?
"To these questions Governor Cox
has answered yes and Senator Hard
ing has answered no. If the Even
ing Post, ing the week which
has elapsed since Governor Cox's
speech of acceptance, has held in
allegiance its declaration of choice
between the two candidates, the rea-
son was not that we were in doubt
concerning Governor Cox's affirma-
tive stand on the treaty and the lea
que We waited only to see whether
Senator Harding would hold fast to
his policy of negation.
Senator Harding has maintained
his mo- on the question of Americas
honor. duty and ultimate best inter-
ests. The issue is thus clearly join
ed. The Evening Post, believing that
it speaks for a great mass Of inde-
pendent American citizenship,
pledges its hearty support to the
Democratic nominees. in whom it
sees embodied the highest aims and
ideals of the American people,"

DOWNWARD TREND IN
SUGAR PRICE CONTINUES
Raw Sugar Quoted at 1904 Cts.
and a Further. Reduction
Predicted by Fall

New York Aug. 16.-Raw sugar
prices continue to slump and traders
say the end is not yet in sight One
thing is certain, the bugaboo of a
sugar famine with the consumer
paying SO cents a pound next win
ter has been dispelled by the unpre-
.cedented decline. Fifteen cents a
pound retail this fall, with a proba-
BILE further reduction when the new
Cuban crop is available in December,
was predicted by sugar merchants
and refiners.
The sudden collapse of the mar
ket is the direct result of conditions
arising from the shortage last spring
according to a well posted sugar
man. The confectionery trade, chain
grocery stores and other large con-
sumers, being unable to buy from
the refners, contracted for ship
ments from Java. Formosa, China,
Brazil, Argentina, Holland and 9TH
er foreign countries. The bulk of
this foreign sugar is coming in now.
The price broke two weeks ago
and has been tobogganing ever since
setting a new record for fiuctuation
in the sugar market. A week ago
raw sugar sold at $3.50 cents u
pound: today s13.O4 was quoted.
Next week it would surprise no one
in the trade to see the price fall
below 10 cents, which would mark
a new low record for 1920.
The price of refined sugar has be-
gun to reflect the downward trend.
One large refinery has already mark
ed it's wholesale price down from
21.1O cents to 17.1O cents pound.
Retailers who have hoped ito get
from rs to 80 cents a pound for
sugar they paid 20 and 22 cents for
are getting panicky and unloading at
the price they paid or less.

VALUABLE GLASS SAND
IN GRAYSON COUNTY

Prof. Charles H. Richardson. Head
of the Department of Minerology Of
Syracuse University, Syracuse, N.
Y, has been in Leitchfeld several
days this week investigating the
possibilities of the white sands at
the base of the Big Clifty formation
for the manufacture OF various kinds
of glass. Excellent glass sand has
been found on the farm of Jesse C.
Lee, one mile northeast of the Court
House; on the farm of James Nor
ris, three-fourths mile northwest of
the Court House, and on the Falls
road one-third of a mile beyond
the Walnut Hill Cemetery. The
thickness of the sand is estimated
from the outcrops and bearings to
be about so feet, and the supply
adequate for the establishment of a
glass factory at Leitchfeld,
The white sands of East View
and Tip Top are also excellent glass
sands and the supply of this mater
ial in Grayson and Hardin counties
appears inexhaustible.
Prof. Richardson is Assistant
Geologist for the State of Kentucky
and is working under Prof. Willard
r. Jillson, State Geologist. The re-
suits of Prof Richardson's research
work on the glass sands of Ken
tusky will be published this fall as
a Ballstin of the KsstuOky Gsologi-
cal Survey.
Leitchfeld has the three reQui-
sites for the manufacture Of glass,
viz; ample supply OF white glass
sand, limestone 70: AUX in fusing
the sand and natural gas, which is
the ideal fuel,-Leitohheld Gazette.

CHRISTMAS SYMBOLS
DATE BACK TO TIME
OF ANCIENT PACANS
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 24.-According
to the National Geographic Society,
the only thing used in the celebration
Of Christmas having genuine Chris
tian origin is the mince pie, tradi-
tionally a necessity on every Ameri-
can Christmas table. "The choice It'd
bits therein the bulletin says, were
symbolical Of the rich gifts brought
by the wise men to the Christ child,
and the a aroma to the frankincense
which they also proffered.
Regarding the other symbols, the
society says, the Christmas tree, can
dies and mistletoe are relics of ma
ture worshipping days. They had
to do with the pagan theory Of the
rebirth Of the sun. The tree comes
down from Aryan days. The candles
were adopted from the Teutonic sun
worshippers, and the mistletoe from
the Druids. The custom of Christmas
giving was borrowed from the Rom
ans, even Santa Claus, according tc
this authority, being of Roman or
igin, although this good saint was
adopted by the Germans very early in
their history, and from them trans
mitted to the other Christian nations
