New York Sept. 3.-Secrets of the
rhootch" maker who manufactures
synthetic whisky or gin arc as an open
book to the government chemists who
test tho products of violators of the
Nolstead law.
Evidence seized from rum runners
and bootleggers is brought to them
for examination. How the chemical
tests are. conducted was disclosed by
r. A. Edison, chief chemist of the
government labora tory in the federal
building. The walls of his office are
lined with shelves filled with bottles
OF every kind and description contain
ing every kind OF beverage forbidden
10y the Nolstead act.
\ fringe of stills seized in raids deco
rates the top of the shelves and there
is "A big pile of them in ~ corner. In
the past year moro than 5000 samples
of liquor, good, bad and indifferent
have been tested here and tho results
produced later in the federal courts.
Tho first thing TO be done by the
chemists when sample of suspected
liluor is brought in ia to tcst II for
alcohol Usually Tho prohibition agents
try to get at least half a pint OF
whisky and pint of wine for the
chemists to work on. But occasionally
an agent comes in with small bottle

Of whisky which he bought at "A bar
and had 10 hold in his mouth until he
could spit IT out Into u bottle without
being observed ny the barkcepcr. And
that is tested too.
When the sample Is large enough
the hydrometer is used to find tho
amount OF alcohol present. The hydro
meter Is a thsrmomotcr-iikc instru-
n1cnt of glass with the specific graVi-
tics marked on II. II liz floated in the
sample and the markings read. Alcohol
being lighter than water the hydro
meter sinks farther In mixture Of
alcohol and water than in plain water.
The amount OF alcohol can thus be sc-
curstely determined by reading the
markings.
small samples Of booze are tested by
means of the pycnomctcr. \ measured
quantity OF the suspected liquid Is
weighed and its weight compared with
that OF an equal quantity Of water. BY
means OF few computations tho
amount OF alcohol cim easily hc found.

PEASANT WOMAN IS
SUDDENLY WEALTHY

Philadelphia. Sept. Am old peas
ant woman was made the richest
woman in tho village by u letter from
the War Risk Insurance Bureau of
the American government. The in
cidcnt is told by member OF the
Friends Relief Mission in Poland who
writes:
I'VE were just driving into tho
town of Hrubieszow in the war -rsvaS-
cd district of Poland when peasant
woman. 'clad in rags. and barcfooted.
came up to the wagon and presented
a letter which she could not read. II
proved to be from tho War Risk In
surancc Bureau at Washington. stat
ing that her son had died In the
American army and that his insur
ancc would come to her for twenty
years. at the rate OF SIS month.
Already there was 5000 waiting for
her. which would be sent shortly by
check
The woman's face was shadowcd
as She heard OF her sons death but II
frightened with amazcmcnt when shc
heard OF the money. The son had not
been heard from for three years and
his death had been taken for granted.
She had other children and they had
all been living in dugout. with no
wood for building a house and no i'm
PIGMENTS to farm with and only diet
of rye and potatoes.
The 5000 In American money
makes, at tho present rate OF OK
change. over 100000 Polish marks
and would make her the richest wom-
an in tho village and probably in tho
country.
Il consulted the postmaster for her
and he said that when she made her
mark upon tho check the local bank
would pay hcr the money. Only. OF
course. no local bank would be able
TO cash 50 large a check without first
getting the money from Warsaw.
This is a fair example OF tho diff
ference in cSchunEc between America
and Poland"

Scheduled This Summer or
Fall-Fight For Throne Will
Be On Sporting Lines

Constantinoplc. Sept. "a new war
for the possession of the throne of
Abyssinia is scheduled for this sum cr
or fall after the rainy season and the
war will be fought out on sporting
lines. according TO DR.. Barnum Brown,
New York City. who has just complct-
cd long prospecting trip there,
Their fighting custom, is to agree
to meet al given time and place and
let the contcndinS armies have it out.
They fire one round with rifles and
other is victorious tho dead are bur-
led, the wounded disposed of in some
manner and then everybody goes home
quite satisfied" explained Dr. Brown.
"Since the death of King Meneik.
the throne has been jointly occupied by
Queen Wazeru Zauditu, daughter of
the late Emperor Menclih and Prince
Ras Taffari Makonnen, "a son of
brother rin-law to Menelik. Neither
sign any documents, but tho royal
seals are put on to attest their mutual
consent. The throne was occupied for
time in 1916 by Prince Lijasso, who
appears to be a jolly fellow.
But he got in trouble by catering
to his Mohammedan subjects on the
Rcd Sea. The Coptic Christians. who
form the majority OF the people and
who are said by some to be the lost
tribes of Israel, objected and battle
was fought wherein the Prince was de-
feated. He escaped to tho Dunkali
iowlands and nothing was heard from
him until the end OF 1920. Lately he
has been making headway in the high
lands where two tribes declared for
