relapsed into its isolation.

them, making them virtual tunnels.
To make Killarney's isolation the
more complete local censorship had
been imposed. This censorship was
not a very serious affair; in fact, it
was lifted some fifty-fve minutes
after a party Of visiting journalists
had begun to investigate it. And, as
it happened, it had never actually
been in operation, because nobody
had tried to send any dispatches dur
ing the week following it's proclama-
ton. 1t was ban known only to
the military and the postmaster.
The affair really was rather
laughable, in a Gilbert-and- Sullivan
sort of way. A week or so previous
to the visit of the British Labor
Commission there had been some
window smashing in the business
district of the town-said business
district comprising one main street.
A local man who acted as residential
correspondent for a number Of Irish
and British newspapers and who
sent perhaps one hundred words q
week filed a dispatch stating that
the damage was done by soldiers,
who "had broken practically every
window in the towns business dis
trict."
The dispatch caught the eye of
somebody high up. and he began to
ask why and wherefore. The local
correspondent was called to military
headquarters and told that his dis
patch contained certain inaccuracies.
For instance, careful count showed
that only fifty-seven windows had
been broken. Furthermore, he had
not actually seen the military do it.
He admitted his overenthusiasm, and
offered to send a correction. The
offer was accepted. He regarded the
incident as closed, when a typewrit-
ten notice, issued from military
headquarters, appeared pasted on
several blank walls. It denied the
guilt Of the soldiers for the window
breaking, and attributed the dam
age to civilians"
Back to Normal Quiet
A week elapsed. No more queries
from London vexed G. H. @. No
more window breaking, no more dis
patches. The town slumbered and
dreamed Of the days when American
tourists would again come and rhap-
sodize over the magnificent Lakes Of
Killarney at 10 shillings or 50 per
rhapsody.
Then came the Labor Commits
sion, with its accompanying journal
lists. The latter, too, had been called
to the b. upon their arrival, but,
having learned by experience that
country towns were seldom able to
handle long dispatches without pre-
vious notice, they dispatched an
emissary to the postofice (which in
Great Britain and ireland il always
also the telegraph of6ce) to prepare
the way.

returned with the report that CEN

This was something new; some

lists began to make their way through
Stygian darkness to G. H. G. They
lighted cigarettes and they talked

While one man was taken inside
the barracks and searched, the 9TH
ers waited outside and talked to

Cockney accent and who was almost
pathetically glad to meet somebody
comparatively recently come from
London.
Then the advance guard returned.
Censorship Is OF

he approached. It appeared that his
interview had been short and pleas
ant. He had begun to paint thrill :

bling for news from Killarney, chat
ing at the censorship that would
necessitate the submission of dis
patches to the authorities. The Of
ficer whom he interviewed yawned
politely and telephoned to the post
master to lift the censorship. Hot
Scotch and expressions Of courteous
regret on both sides ensued, and the
postmaster kept his office open an
hour beyond the regular closing time
in order to facilitate the sending Of
the dispatches.

The journalists had foregathered

Then the Irishman laughed.

Everybody laughed and everybody

SHREWD TRICKS
OF BOOTLEGGER
ARE TOLD HERE
WHiSkY.SELLERS CHEAT Gus.
TONERS AS WELL AS THE
LAW

That the bootlegger is a cheat as
well as law-breaker is the verdict
Of the Michigan State Police officers
who have been engaged in fighting
the Illicit liquor trade in this state. 1t
is their opinion that the greed of the
men who sell whisky is such that the
latter will scruple at no fraud 10 make
money.
While the average man is cautious
enough in ordinary dealings, he seems
to be as credulous as child when it
comes to buying forbidden liquor.
of devices by which he buys some-
thing other than THAT he thinks he is
paying for.
Where whisky is sold in casks or
Jugs, two favorite tricks are used to
swindle the buyer. One calls for the
use of funnel inserted in the con-
tainer The funnel contains real
liquor while the remainder of the
space is filled up with some other
liquid. Or large portion Of the
space is filed with parafin and then a
small quantity OF whisky is placed
in the cavity left.
Where whisky is sold in bottles
there are many devices. Everyone
has read of the soaking off of labels
and the re-flling of bottle with in
ferior spirits. Or counterfeit label
is used. Another trick calls for the
emptying of the bottle by means OF a
hollow needle inserted alongside the
cork and the re-filling with moonshine.
The electric needle is also used for
emptying bottles without removing
the cork.
In many cases the bootlegger does
not substitute inferior whisky but
merely adds water and thus makes
three bottles Of whisky out of one. But
there is still another trick used which
has humorous tinge. The boot
logger secures certain vegetable
preparation which, when added to
water, gives it the appearance and
flavor OF whisky but lacks the Kick.
The poor deluded chap who pays from
half a dollar to a dollar for drink
of this connection is not breaking the
law; he is simply being made suck
er.
However, it is the fact, as devel.
oped by the states chemists. that the
man who buys imitation whisky or
watered whisky is fortunate along
c;da of tho one who buyS moon

gan distillers are sad failures and
their brand of liquor is both nauseat-

GAMBLING RAIDS
ARE A SUCCESS

QUANTITY OF DEVICES IN
MAcOMB COUNTY.

In series OF raids on roadhouses
and clubs in Macomb county, a de-
tachment of the Michigan State Po-
lice headed by Sergts. Mulbar and
Sabin seized a diversified collection
OF gambling paraphernalia. Among the
places raided were the Edgewater
Beach Club, Blossom Heath Inn and
Margolies Inn.
The raids were timed so as to occur
when gambling was at it's hight and
roulette wheels, "birdcages" and 9TH
er mechanical devices of the profess
sional gambler we're in operation
Fashionably dressed women were
found in these roadhouses, with their
escorts, and there was evidence of
drinking as well as gambling In
deed, small quantity Of liquor was
discovered also and confiscated
Joseph M. Spaller, the new sheriff
of Macomb, county, co-operated in ev-
cry way with the State Police and the
cases were pushed to trial. Fines of
$50 apiece were imposed by Justice
William Sawn on all of the proprie-
tors, professional gamblers and dis
orderly characters arrested in these
raids. No arrests of patrons were
made, it being felt that the fright
which was apparent was sufficient
punishment for the time being.
