UNITED STATES, DRY COUNTRY, IS
 ACTUALLY FLOODED WITH LIQUOR


 rum-running from the British owned island 45 miles away
 enforcement agents, internal rev. enue agents and custom men are help less. The government has only two revenue cutters in these waters. One at Miami is a leaky tub that makes SIX Knots an hour. The other, at Sa- vannah, makes four knots an hour Rum-running craft make 15 to 25 knots an hour.
 The next largest smuggling center Is Detroit. Rum-runners there bring boat loads of liquor across the river from Canada every night
 Organized for Mutual Protection.
 Detroit rum-runners have their fix CTS and their .slush funds They are organized for mutual protection.
 The big fellows are rarely caught. The small rum-runner who doesn't know the ropes is the fellow arrested.
 No one big rum ring exists There are many '"rings." . comparatively small as regards the whole country yet each doing a business running an- nually into millions of dollars
 Crime at the bottom and political corruption at the top put the booze trusts" cross
 Millions ~are spent in payment of fines. so bootleggers and rum-runners can start over again. Few jail sem tences have been imposed. A. Washington lobbyist says: You can do more with quart of booze than with anything e1se!" Booze in itself is not looked upon as graft. It is regarded in much the same light as the old custom of accepting a cigar.
 Traffic in Fraudulent Permits. Traffic in fraudulent permits for withdrawal of liquor and alcohol from warehouses is heavy. The standard price, paid for obtaining a permit is $1 to $2 per case of liquor. Rubber stamp signatures, indorsed by mere written initial, are used on permits in Washington, in New York and many other states. Coun- terfeiting a. rubber stamp signature Is easy.
 Forged labels and revenue stamps are made by the thousands by crim- inals who find it easier and more lu- crative than counterfeiting money. With these bogus labels and stamps the, country is flooded with colored alcohol and other connections dis guised as bottled in bond liquor.
 Effectiveness of enforcement can be gauged everywhere by the price of bootleg whiskey. A low price means enforcement is not effective. The price east of the Mississippi has never been lower since prohibition began than now.
 Disappearance of evidence makes court convictions difficult. Bonds are easy to get and bootleggers have been known to walk out of the courtroom and sell liquor to pay their fines. Millions of dollars worth of liquor seized by police, by state and county officials and by federal agents, have Imysteriously disappeared. Chief of Police Fitzmorris of Chi cago said that half of the Chicago police force was in the booze business. New York's corporate counsel found s7 per cent of all liquor cases so fauHy that conviction was impos- lsib1e. Big Grimes Due to Bootleg. Petty crime has decreased unde, prohibition.

How To Keep
Yourself Well
Sweating of the Feet


What will relieve excessive sweat
Ing of the sole only of one foot?
There is no odor to it. Is formalde-
hyde dangerous?
In dealing with excessive sweating
of the feet, it may be well to try
bathing the feet daily with salt wa
ter, following this with an applica-
ton of medicated alcohol. 1t would
be unwise to apply formaldehyde. as
this might cause serious trouble.
Depilatories
Kindly give me the formula of in
gradients contained in the depilatory
preparation known on the market
as -. Is the preparation injur-
ious if used once per week only? If
Injurious to the general health in
any way, can you suggest any harm
less preparation thai will do the
same work?
This bureau has no information
regarding the ingredients contained
In the depilatory mentioned. You
ask whether a preparation would be
injurious if used once a week. That
Is difficult to say, but you should
bear in mind that the regular use of
chemical dep~ilatories not only irri-
tates the skin, and may give rise to
revere infection, but 1t also makes
the hair grow firmer and thicker,
just as does constant shaving.

I had expected that Edith's

In manner he was exactly the oppo-
site.
Edith was a mile-a-minute talker;
old Mr.. jenkins was as careful of
his words as though they were $40
gold pieces. He never used a sem
tence where a phrase would do and
V a phrase where he could get
by with a word.
He made me do most of the talk
ing. felt, as | had felt the first
evening with Edith, that l was on
exhibition. But Edith found u
about you by shooting questions at
YOU from every conceivable angle:
her father merely kept still and
J made you reveal yourself.
When he evidently felt that l had
told him all he wanted to know, he
sketched very briefly the problem
with which he was confronted in
| his new company. rs he did so he
\ watched my face i%ntently. That was
all.
When he had finished he rose,

You're silly on the subject of OBJ

The village Life
CHAPTER S

CIt.At 4 EN- .
The informal little dinner was the
opening, for me. into the life of
Wellsville. l adored every bit of the
little place. L had never been so
happy in my life.
Winthrop did come. as he sug-
gested, and l took him out in my
car. We drove for miles and miles
over the roads in the late afternoons
when he had finished his Office work.
For in that little town they work
ed until nearly s, and 6 was the only
proper hour for dinner-or supper
as some called it, though 1t was the
main meal of the day. This surprised
me at first, for at my aunt'S we
never dined before S, and a formal
dinner was $40 unless we were 60
ing to the theatre. But l was glad
of the early hour. for it gave so
much more evening.
And in the evenings l liked to sit
out in a big couch hammock on the
lawn, while a few firefiies played in
and out of the trees and shrubs. and
while the evening star made such a
lovely bit of silver in the sky. In
fact, there was nothing l liked bet
ter than to lie fiat in the hammock,
my hands under my head, while 1
looked up and up and up into the
blue-black of the summer night and
watched the myriads of stars above
me-.
Somehow in the city we never had
stars-or il we did, we never noticed
them.
One evening / said something like
this to Winthrop. We were in from
a drive-a wonderful drive. He had
come around for me after his early
supper and we started off in my car,
as we did now every other evening.
/ had kept my promise and taught
him to drive, and one Saturday af-
ternoon | showed him how the en-
| CINE worked. For my aunt had
made me learn very thoroughly be-
| fore she allowed me a machine.
VIII had the wheel this evening.
We drove five miles out to a great
hill and took the winding road to its
top. | liked this arrangement. for
then | had more time to look about.
The farmhouses were so quaint, the
rail fences that ~zig-zagged around
the fields amused me so much, the
children looked so chubby and dear
as we passed them.
From the top of the hill we caught
the sunset, and watched its perfect
glory dim into a soft orange radi-
anCe. 1hen we DaCK Wnlle
the shadows turned blue and gray
around us, and Win put the car up.
And l sat curled up in a corner OF
the hammock. while Win sat on q
cushion on the grass. Parker had
a light in her room. otherwise the
night was soft and dark.
There are too many lights on the
city streets to see the stars" / re-
marked. IF one looks up, there is
a glare of electricity, and one can't
look beyond that"
II think that's the right idea
Winthrop said. I'm tired of stars
I hate them. 1 hate this village
anyway
"Winthrop!" I protested. "This
dear place!"
This dear place. yes! And l hate
these stupid people"
