FORGEDbY GANG
tn GET LIQUOR
Police md Revenue Officers
Search City Following Un-
covering Of Plot.

Police and revenue agents are
searching Washington today Tor a
gang OF fDFgers who for some time
have been obtainings whiskey from
drug stores in the city by fake pre-
scriptions.
Their detection came about through
one OF the gang trying to obtain sew
eral cases OF beer on physician
prescription. The druggist TO whom
they applied with the forged prescr1p-
ton told the man who presented II
that the regulations governing the
selling OF beer had not been Issued yet
and said he was surprised that the
physician who made out the prescrlp-
ton did not know IL.
A few days later one Of the revenue
agents came 10 the store to check up
on the stock OF liquor the druggist
had, and the druggist told him or the
occurrence.
The revenue agent called on the
physician TO toll him that he should
not issue prescriptions for beer until
he had been officially given permis-
sion by the prohibition bureau. the
physician told the agent that he had
never prescribed beer and that since
prohibition went into effect he had
written only nine prescriptions.
A check on AL the drug stores In
Washington, IL Is said. revealed nun
dreds of prescriptions signed by the
physician.
Dr. NJ II. Hunter, 1928 street
northwest, was the physician whose
name was signed TO the prescription.
In making out the prescriptions
however the gang used the old regis.
tration number of DR.. Hunter, and
none of the prescriptions bore his new
number.
The forged prescriptions were very
good imitation. II is said. and might
have fooled any druggist In the city.
An investigation now being mace oy
the revenue Officers and the police
may involve a printing establishment
in Washington. IL Is said.

DR.. Van Dykes subject was Drag

For a hundred years or more" he
said, "the nations have been sowing
dragons teeth by their policy OF com

billions of money on means OF do
struction. and loaded themselves with
debt to inspire mutual terror. What
harvest have they reaped? War after
war, calamity after calamity. And
now In the twentieth century the most
dreadful of all the bumper crop OF
death and desolation. That Ia what
comes of sowing dragons teeth"
1T is not a question OF absolute dts

millennium. The pacifists are some
times quarrelsome, and Henry Ford
himself is death on the Jews. In .

violent men some arms are necessary
But every civilized nation restricts
their possession in order to prevent
violence. Why canot the civilized
world do the same thing?"
