Raiding the home of Walter
Prowski, 40, at 1903 Henry street.
Saturday night, police officers found
a large still, and about so gallons of
rye mash, ready to be put through
the still. They locked Prowski up
or charge of violation of the pro-
hibition law and confscated the still
and mash.
The officers who made the raid
were Acting Chief George Denyes,
Captain William Robertson and Pa
trolmen Jewell and Martin.
According to Denyes, the officers
have been watching the place for
several days and have proof of sales
by Prowski. When they visited his
place at 10 o'clock Saturday night,
and told him of their mission, he
smiled smugly and told them to go
ahead and search. After a long
search the still was found, in the lat
tice over one lean-to on the house,
the only means. of entrance to which
was through false door. This was
discovered by Denyes only after con-
tinued sounding of the walls.
Prowski was preparing, the Off

the still Sunday. His still was made

crintendent of the Nevada hospital for
mental diseases at Reno, who with
Mrs. Lewis is visiting in Europe. They
are at present in Italy.
Il am much surprised in finding
among the people in general SO little
indication of the war;" the letter
states. "In France as well as Italy
the people are busy and they appear
prosperous. Prices are high, about
four times what they were. Wages are
also high and there seemed to be work

but not to the extent of producing
suffering. The people on the street
and the domestic animals all present
the appearance of being well nour-
ished.
Hotels furnish good accommoda-
tons at fifty frances per person and
up, with extra charge for heat In
Italy the Hotel Workers Association
has abolished all tips and demand in
lieu twelve per cent of the bill to be
collected by employees for them. We
frequently find fault with the meals,
but it is rather that We do not get
just what we would like rather than
what we need. l think I have no real
cause for complaint as to food.
Railroad service is not up to STAN
dard Trains are crowded and delays
are not uncommon. Passport regula-
tions are less stringent and have
caused us nothing more than trifling
annoyance. Travelling in Europe we
have found very pleasant and we have
not known of the disagreeable condi-
tons you see so often mentioned in
the papers.
II think Italy is being grossly sland-
cred. We have met many delightful
people from all parts of the world"

Conquered Desert Sand.

The British adopted giant "snow.
shoe" to conquer the sands Of the
Egyptian desert. according to Maj.
John Balm Of the British army, who
served In the near East. The scheme.
which was based on the same theory
that caused the Indian to adopt the
snowshoe, was discovered while the
army was marching to Palestine. The
fine sands impeded both the infantry
and horses, so that days march
never resulted In much more than a
two or three mile advance.
FINALLY some inventive genius tried
laying rather close-meshed chicken
wire on the sands" said Major Balm.
"The Tommies were thus given some
thing that didn't yield so readily as the
soft sands, and the horses got better
footing. Immediately we found that
much greater progress was made, and
our advances soon amounted to nine
and ten miles a day."
