.RTG-FEILOW-BOKUSn


 From Wild Men of the New Hebridcs.
 by Martin Johnson, in Asia Maga-
 zine.
 One morning. during our stay on the Island of Api, in the New He brides, delegation of natives ap- peared and said they had come for "big- fellow bokus (box)". A ser- want, summoned by Mitchell, the English planter. whose guests we were, brought out wooden coffin, one of the men counted out some money and the natives shouldered it and went away.
 Mitchell laughed as he watched them depart. That coffin had his tory. About six weeks previously, a delegation of natives had appeared, with black who had seen service on New Zealand plantation acting as spokespan He informed Mitchell that their old chief was dying and that they had decided to pay him the honor of burying him in "bokus' be- long white man." They asked Mitch ell if he would provide such "bokus" and for how much. Mitchell had a Chinese carpenter and a little supply of timber; so he very gladly con- sented to have a coffin made. He figured the cost at 10 pounds. That appeared to the delegation to be ex- cessive, and they went off to the hills. The next day, however, they reappeared and requested that he make coffin half the size for half the money. Mitchell protested tha, a coffin half the size originally fig

Secrets of Making Synthetic Whisky or Gin, Are as An Open Book to the Gov-
 ernment Chemists
By Associated Press

New York, September 1o.-Secrets of the "hootch" maker who manufac- lures synthetic whisky or gin are as an open book to the government chemists who test the products of violators of the Volstead law.
 Evidence seized from rum runners and bootleggers Is brought to them for examination. How the chemical tests are conducted was disclosed to- day by R. A. Edson, chief chemist Of the government laboratory In the federal building. The walls of his office are lined with shelves filled with bottles of every kind and de- scription containing every kind Of beverage forbidden by the voistead act.
 fringe Of stills seized in raids decorates the top of the shelves and there is a big pile of them in a corner. In the past year more than s,60o samples of liquor, good, bad and indifferent, have been tested here and the results produced later in the federal courts.
 The first thing to be done by the chemists when sample of suspect ed liquor is brought in Is to test 1t for alcohol. Usually the prohibition ag ents try to get at least half pint of whisky and pint of wine for the chemists to work on. But occasion ally an agent comes in with a small bottle of liquid which he explains is a drink of whisky which he bought at bar and had to hold in his mouth until he could spit 1t out into a bot tie without beiag observed by the barkeeper. And that is tested. too.
 Use IIydrOmeter
 When the sample is large enough the hydropeter is used to find the amount of alcohol present. The hy- drometer Is 8 thermometer in strument of glass with the specific gravities marked on 1t. It Is floated in the sample and the markings read. Alcohol being lighter than water the hydromoter sinks further In a mix ture of alcohol and water than In plain water. The amount of alcohol can thus be accurately determined by reading the markings.
 Small samples of booze are tested by means of the pycnometer. A measured quantity of the suspected liquid is weighed and it's weight compared with that of an equal quantity of water. By means of a few computations the amount of al- cohol can easily be found.
 For rapid work on beer and wine with small percentages of alcohol the ebulliometer is used. The evidence is heated and the boiling point learned. Water boils at 100 degrees Centigrade and alcohol at a much lower temperature. A mixture of al cohol and water boiIs at a lower temperature than water and thus the chemists can rapidly calculate the amount of alcohol.
 After the test for alcohol has been completed in the case of whisky the color of the sample is tested. whis- ky that has been held in bond for sometime has a colorNo of It's own due to the inside of the whisky barrels being charred by fire before the whisky is put in. The manufactur- ing bootlegger making an artificial whisky of grain alcohol and water uses caramel made of burnt sugar to color his product

Thousands of motion picture fans remember MT. Reid's other famous success, The Valley of the Giants" l" by Peter B. Kyne. The leading role Is that was one of the greatest ever assigned the star, and in ''Phe Hell Diggers" he is seen in much the same type of part. It is one that brings out his personality to the utmost and one that has the approval of critics wherever the picture has been shown.
 MT. Morgan built the picture around one of the most picturesque phases of modern California, the big gold dredges, known as "hell dig gers" He has injected plenty of thrills and one of the most pleasing romances in which the star has been seen.
 Dealing with subject new to the screen-the giant dredgers in the gold fields of California, the story is one of tremendous action and gem uine thrills. MT. Reid Is a sturdy dredgeman in the story, and when he falls in love and runs counter to the interests of his interruptions employ CTS, things begin to happen.
 Lois Wilson is the girl, and her idtner LOOKS upon the young Sultor and his employers as his bitterest en- emies. However. the hero becomes interested in the case of his oppon- ents and finally allies himself with them, which means a big struggle with strong political corporation. The fight comes off in grand style, physically as well as politically, and the star puts it over in characteristic Reid stye.
 The cast, which includes Frank Leigh, Lucien Littlefield, Clarence GeTdart and Bud Post, was more than adequate.

 that they would cut his arms and legs off to make him fit in. At that, Mitchell, with an eye to labor supply. said that, if they must have a coffin, they must have a proper coffin. He would order the carpenter to make one large enough to hold the chief without mutilation. and he would charge them only five pounds for it. though that meant loss to him.

And the best of it all is that he has
built an excellent piece of road; at

AS is usually the case the road will
be closed for few weeks before it is
