AFTER GUINEA PIGS
Home Brew Makes Swine Accept Act

Home Brew Makes Swine Accept Act
Literally.
Because guinea pigs have beeA found
to accept the Volstead act literally and
turn their furry back to alluring home
brew, the little animals which are
raised in Washington for test pur-
purposes are reported to have depre-
ciated in value almost 100 per cent.
It was the fond belief Of home brew
makers some time ago that if they
tried their amateur productions on the
guinea pig, human life and digestion
might be saved. The guinea pig had
proven a satisfactory subject for
scientific tests and according to their
reasoning if the sensitive animal sur
vived treir brew it was ripe for
human consumption. If the pig died
it was in good cause, and the brew
ers tried again to make a liquor fit to
drink by man and beast.
pigs is pigs" but the guinea variety
is more rodent than pig and have been
found to value their lives above the
convivial compensations Of liquor
samples. Those who have tried their
brews on the guinea pigs have found
that no amount of coaXing can bring
the sagacious rodents to the flowing
bowl of kitchen-made drugs. They
submit to the administrations OF
strange drugs and serums in the In
terests Of science but anything alco-
holic Is abhorrent to them.
Thousands of purchases were made
when it was reported that guinea pigs
could test the margin of safety In ur- :
sampled contraband concoctions. Now
they are a drug on the market, ready
to be doled out to hospitals and scien-
lists for use in routine experiments.

a local reputation as marksman, but
at that time neither he nor his friends
thought that he would eventually be-
come the master shot of the country.
But that's what he is now, thanks to-
hard, consistent practice and clean
living. -.
Mr.. Lee is now 80 years old. When
his father moved to town 13 years
ago he had just attained his majority
and was ready to strike out in. the
world for himself. A course at bus;
mess college fitted him to accept a
commercial position in Georgia and
he went to that state to work. Seven
or eight years ago he moved to Bir-
mingham and has since made his
home in that city. There he has ac-
quired the reputation which has made
him famous as the possessor Of the
most perfect trigger finger in the
world. Mr.. Lee has the reputation Of
shooting one firearm about as we'll as
another. The rifle, pistol, revolver
and shotgun-they are all alike to
him.
A recent issue Of the Birmingham
News contains the following story Of
Mr.. Lees wonderful shooting ability:
birmingham has one champion
she never gets tired Of telling the
universe about in Thomas K. Lee, the
greatest living allround shot in. the
world Lee, the master marksman Of
the century, holds 81 worlds records,
with pistol, and II worlds records
with rifle. Every one of Lees records
was made in official competition:
Since 1913 Lee has wr, 81 national
championships with rifle, pistol and
revolver and one international title.
He has won so many local, state and
other matches than national, that he
has last count Of them.
Lees record for shooting would fill
the Congressional library. He holds
the record for smallest group Of shots
made with rifle at Is yards, every
shot being fired inside quarter inch
ring. A half dollar covered his shots
at 100 yards, while a small envelope
covered the target at 300 ydds. He
has made possible scores at every
range from 200 to 1000 yards with
army rifle, having made II consecu-
tive possibilities at 2O0yards. rapid fire.
He has scored 81 bulls-eyes out Of 36
shots in So seconds with army rifle at
200 yards.
Fans can still recall how Tackhole
