FORMER EMPRESS
 FAILS RAPIDLY
For Many Weeks Her Condition Has Been Such That She Is Care
 fully Guarded
By Assoolated Prns,

Doorn. Holland. July 1O.-The former German Empress. Auguste Victoria. has undergone so much distress during the pa t Two years that she has suffered for s,veral months from aggravated attacks of heart disease. Recently she has been leading the life of an invalid She has had milder attacks of this malaGy for many years.
 Al the House of Doorn, where, sur rounded by q staf of her own Bernn servants, and attended lmost constant- ly by Countess Kellat-for many years her lady in waiting-she has recently been se completeY indisposed that she has at times been unable to walk and has not for a long time been per mitted to walk up or down the stairs. A special elevator was built for her use.
 Those familiar with the inner life of the former Emperors household since the flight from Potsdam to Holland declare that. while William consoling himself with religion, has been more or less of d stoic, the former Elm press has suffered great mental dis tress and has felt severely the separa- tion from her children
 From the time she arrived at Amer ongen in November, 1918. she has suf- fered continually. Now and then she was the victim of hearA attacks so severe that she was confined to her bed for several days at time.
 In the spring of 1920, when the Kapp revolution in Berlin was followed by an urgent demand that the former Emperor be closely guarded, the life of the exiles became more constrained and Auguste's ailment more pro- nouneed.
 She was constantly under the treat ment of Dr. Haehner. d Berlin physi- elan, who is d member of the former Emperor's staff, and also. noted Dutch specialist in heart diseases from Utrecht was called into consultation.
 He decreed that she must lead very quiet life, and it has been no secret at Doorn that in May and June of this year the former Empress suf- fered such violent attacks that her life was despaired of On these oc casions the former crown prince and such others of the Hohenzollerns, who were within easy reach, were sum moned to her bedside.
 At Doorn everything has been done to avoid disturbng the former kaiserin. News or information that might tend to excite her has been kept from her. She has never been left entirely alone. If she has been able to walk in the garden attendants were in easy call.

HARD JOB ID STOP
 !. LIQUOR SMUGGLING
Canadian Mounted Police Say Chief Trouble Is on
 This Side of Line
By As.ooIa,.d Prss,

Ottawa. July 24.-As long as profits from bootlegging are what the are. and the only deterrent is a fine of $2o0 or so, there will be big money in the bootlegging game, and it will be very difficult for the authorities on either side of the international line to stamp out the traffic.
 That is the summary of opinions ex- pressed by the Ottawa officials as to the situation regarding smuggling Of liquor from Canada to the United States. Further, high officials of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police say that while they are doing all in their power to check infractions of the fed eral laws in this respect, it is really for tho American authorities to see that tine liquor does not reach the thirsty souls beyond the imaginary line 3,000 miles long.
 The situation apparently is that from three provinces in particular there is q large trade in bootlegging to the Unitel States. These are Ontario, Que bee and British Columbia. At the same time respectable quantity of fiery liquid is finding it's war across from the maritime provinces and from Man itoba.
 At Windsor and in the surrounding districts the mounted police are car rying on q constant campaign against the illegal liquor vendors, and many have been haled into court and con demned to pay fines from $200 up. One parched Detroit man, however, is said to have parted with $500 for three cases of Scotch whisky. which reached him via the Underground route 2 short time ago, so that the profits in the illegal trade are known to be enor- nous Information from Windsor and district intimates to the authorities here that some farmers in that vicinity have found it more profitable to snug gle liquor across the border than to
 farm. and have let their farms run to

Genuine Leather Used

A very noticeable thing about the new Premocars is the fact that genuine leather is used in their upholstery. Many other little touches of refinement that contribute largely toward making car right" are to be noticed. For instance, Instead of the customary imi- tation leather wrapped cord molding generally used to trim the edges of the upholstery a genuine solid leather strip is used. There is a large amount of wear on this molding, especially On the tops of the doors and armrests.
