terious automobile ride from Los An

AIRPLANES SMOKE
MOONSHINER OUT

SALEM, Ore, Aug. 19.-This state
is now conducting the most successful
moonshine war in it's history, accord
ing to DIR. j. A. Linville, state pro-
hibition director. United States army
planes flying daily from Eugene and
patrolling forests of the state to pre-
vent destruction by fire, are serving
a two-fold purpose.
They detect forest fires and they
locate moonshiners cabins. Smoke
does the trick in both cases.
Heretofore stills have been difficult
to locate. They simmered and smoked;
merrily and turned out mule-taming
stuff by the hogshead.
But with the planes suffering
overhead things are not what they
have been. The observer sees smoke.
1t may be just curling wisp, or it
may be q funnel denoting fire of
considerable size. Both are reported.
and Officers, either peace, prohibition,
state, county, or whatnot, or forest
rangers, Immediately investigate. If
the smoke comes from a forest blaze
it is put out; if the smoke comes from
a still, the still is kicked down the
and its tenders are put
in
