ONTARIO WOULD PROHI-
BIT LIQUOR IMPORTATION

Toronto has been under Prohibit
ton law for nearly three years and
last fall voted decisively to retain IT,
Yet the province OF Ontario has no
law TO prevent liquor from being I'M
ported. This has offered a means
of discrediting the law and now a
referendum has been ordered to set
tie the question of the importation
OF booze into the province. 1t is
confidently expected that the drys will
win a victory and put an end 10 the
shameless practices that are now be-
ing resorted to. For instance, a
person in Ontario can order liquor
from dealer outside the province
and the person receiving the order
can telegraph it back TO a local
dealer and effect delivery to the per-
son ordering it. This is called short
circutng." 1t has resulted in
largely multiplying the Prohibition
law.

Excursion steamers will be run from
New York and nearby cities to take
customers to the floating bar.

NIGHT RIDES BY JOHN
BARLEYCORN INTERDIcTED
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer
Puts crimp in Fake Hold-Ups of
Liquor

Philadelphia Prohibition enforce
ment officers announce receipt OF cop
les OF new regulations issued by Pro-
hibition Commissioner Kramer, for
bidding the transportation of liquor
between sunset and sunrise.
Transportation OF liquor by truck is
also prohibited unless all parties to
the transaction are youched Tor by
responsible people. This rule has
been made to stop the fake "robberies"
of trucks in many of which the gov
ernment has evidence to indicate that
the Shippers themselves staged hold
ups so that they would not have to
account for the liquor stocks.
Another new ruling torbids personal
solicitation of orders for purchases OF
liquor. Many of the wholesalers have
been sending agents around to the
druggists and others entitled to buy.
This has had a tendency TO encourage
retailers to purchase more liquor than
could be legitimately disposed OF. 1t
is thought that requiring the retailer
to order by mail will remedy this evil.

CANADIAN DISTILLERY NOT
HURT BY PROHIBITION
Manufacture Industrial Al C o h 0
Proves Great Success Financially

Prohibition brought unusual flnan-
cial success to the Corby Distillery
Company OF Ontario, according to a
BelIeville dispatch in the Philadelphia
North American under date OF July
49, This success is disclosed in the
report of the successors to the dis
tillcry company who have devoted
the plant to the manufacture of in
dustrial alcohol.
The Corby distillery for nearly
three generations had manufactured
whisky But with the advent OF war
Prohibition, attention was turned TO
the making OF industrial alcohol.
Prior TO the war the record daily OUT
put OF the distillery was 5000 gallons.
Today it is 10000 gallons. The
number of employees also has been
greatly increased.
The new company which is known
as the Canadian Industrial Alcohol
Company OF Corbyville, is the first
and only organization in Canada to
turn its attention to the manufacture
of alcohol for industrial purposes.
The market for the product is believed
endless in possibilities. The use OF
alcohol for power generation as a
substitute for gasoline is also attract
ing wide attention.

business for city OF this size The
business of the police court today is
mere shadow of what il was at that

cording TO NJ. Moskowitz OF the firm

dealers that conducts the contest, to
the fact that men now bring their

ing trips, where heretofore they
brought quantities OF liquor. NJ. Mos
kowitz said the sales OF fishing tackle
had doubled since Prohibition.
II. {. Fletcher, proprietor OF the
Philadelphia Fish Bait Company,
gives still another reason for the
boosting of fishing by Prohibition.
He says that in the old days a man
used to pass his Saturday mornings
round the corner in the saloon and his
Sundays sleeping off the cfects. But
now the same man spends his week
end on scme fishing trip,

Company, one OF the largest dealers
in fishing tackle in Philadelphia. said;
I'VE can't get enough fishing tackle to
sell this year because there is such a

port of the contention that Prohibi-
