Another peddler, according to Of

worn beneath his clothing, like close

from small spigot concealed in the
peddler's vest pocket.
A common way to try to conceal
contraband liquor. officials said, is to
place it in soft drink bottles, in full
view, or in soft drink urns that have
double spigots-turn this way for soft
drinks, the other way for hard" ones
A Canton policeman, stopping in a
soft drink emporium, said he noticed
that although many persons had

austria. He organized a band of
volunteer Knitters" whose number
has now grown to 10000 women and
100000 children. The yarn with which
they work is furnished free and the
finished garments. most of which are
