Northern Section of Maine Being
Flooded With Whisky
From Canada.
LAWFUL SEIZURES ARE FEW
Comes Across Line in All Forms Into
State Which Was Pioneer in "Dry"
Laws-Many Ways of Fool
ing the Sleuths.

Bangor, Me.-The rate at which Ca
madam and Scotch WHISTLES are flowing
over the northern border into Maine
proves that enforcement of the federal
prohibition law hasn't got into its
stride as yet, for never in all the his
tory of theoretical %droughts have GASES
been greener, more numerous OF closer
together in this pioneer dry state than
right now, when there is more law than
ever before, twice as many ~"enforcers''
and increased penalties.
Trainmen who come down say that
whisky of all grades and oceans of
pure grain alcohol are flowing yer the
border at a hundred places, and that at
four principal points the alcoholic in
vasion amounts to a flood. These four
points are Van Buren,, opposite the
New Brunswick town of st. Leonards,
on the st. John river; Fort Kent, which
has easy access to the Canadian village
of Glare via a suspension footbridge
Fort Fairfield, which is but nine miles

near neighbor of the provincial town of
Woodstock.
Only Occasional Seizures.
Occasionally the revenu officers
seize a wagon or sled load of whisky
coming over the international bridge
from st. Leonards or over the ice at
some more obscure locality, but moth
ing is said about the great number of
"booze' chariots that get by the gov
ernment's lookouts and which keep the
speakeasies of Aroostook or the bar,
rooms of Bangor supplied. Also, the
st. John river being frozen good and
solid for its entire length, men and
teams a cross anywhere in the rivers
100-mile stretch along the border, SO
that, as the revenue men themselves
admit, a standing army with s~entinels
every fifty feet would be required to
shut out the flood.
There is so much more money to be
made in bringing in 'booze," even O
rev DOttleS at q time, n a hundreds
of woodsmen have quit swapping roads
and chopping trees for the rum-running
business, and ninety-nine in 100 OF
them, knowing the country thoroughly,
get by with their goods.

Millions of Particles Taken Into
Lungs With Air.
Hygiene Experts Devising Means Of
Removing Dust and Fumes
From Air In Factories.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-Over 100000
600 tiny particles of dust, as sharp as
ground glass, are breathed into the
lungs and air passages with every
cubic foot Of air in some of the fac
tories In the United States, according
to a surveyamade by the public health
service here.
Such dusts breathed into the lungs
ARE expelled. Photomicrographs
show the tiny particles to be exceed

tests prove them to be practically in
soluble. Work under such condi-
tions invites respiratory diseases and
makes q real health hazard. Similar

Chain of
Landing Fields

train. 1t is not merely a fiat piece Of
land on which a flyer can bring his
craft to earth. Such a piece of
ground bears the same relation to a
real landing field as an unimproved
water inlet to a harbor like New York
or Liverpool.
"a landing field should have, first
of all, dimensions which fit it to han
die all forms Of aircraft. 1t should
be drained to permit its use ever in
the wettest weather. 1t should have
shelter and supplies for flyers and their
craft and should be accessible to the
trade center it is meant to serve.
This feature Is of supreme impor-
lance because commercial aerial navi-
cation will develop only in proportion
to its commercial value. The field
should be identified with markings WIS.,
ible from great heights and with radio
apparatus so flyers may be aided in
finding their way in spite Of the fog
or failure to identify the country over
which they are passing.
Haven If Mishap Occurs.
"Fields at frequent intervals means
that cross-country flyers can come to
the earth for rest, replenishment of
supplies and adjustments to their ma
chimes without Inconvenience or un-
necessary delay. In the event of a
mishap in the air, such as a stalled mo
tor. the nearby landing field permits
the pilot to glide to it without damage
to the machine or to himself.

You Can't Cure Rheumatism
With Liniments and Lotions

If you are afflicted with Rheu-

THE SUGAR SITUATION.

The market for Cuban raw sugar con-
tinued strong with advancing prices over
the week end, going to 1112 cents cost
and freight on Friday and 10 II cents on
Monday with some small sales rumored
at 11A cents. The market held at IL
cents until Thursday when sales were
made at 1l94 cents cost and freight.
Porto Ricos brought 12l4 cents delivered
on Monday and l2l3 cents on Tuesday
and during the balance of the week.
Sales of Cubas were made at IL cents
to Galveston, New Orleans and Philadel-

Heavy rains falling in Cuba have
improved the prospects for the late
cane of this crop and support hopes OF
a full crop equalling early estimates OF
over 4, ,000, 900 tons.
In spite of light shipments from Cuba
those from Porto Rico and other coun-
tries are quito large and total receipts at
Atlantic Ports continue TO meet require
ments as stocks are lis, 900 tons at thoss
ports compared with 1900 tons at this
time last wear.
At the close the tone OF the market is
quiet with further sale of Porto Ricos
at 1919 cents delivered and some nearby
Cubas offering at l1.75 cents c. & (.
Cubas for April and May shipment are
held steadily, at II cents c. 4 (.
Deliveries OF refined sugars during
the week show a slight Improvement
especially to the city trade. While re-
fners have been able to secure more
cars the supply is not Yet sufficient TO
take care of the output.
