Using a United States army

contraband whisky from
Canada to Seattle, and then
getting assistance from q car
full of deputy sheriffs when
they got stuck in the mud
that is the latest exploit Of
local bootleggers.
A detailed account Of the
daring adventure was given
to The Star today by q mem
ber of the gang Of rum-run-
ners-who said that it was
"too good to keep" and added
that it had been decided not
to use the device any more,
anyway.

ago from Camp Lewis--a certain

HOTEL GUESTS AT GAINESVILLE
ROBBED AS THEY SLEPT


Gainesville, Feb. 14.-One of the
most daring robberies in this city in
years was reported to Chief of Police
Perry early this morning, when the
management of the White House ho-
tel reported three rooms entered last
night and over 5000 in cash and sew
eral valuable articles stolen. The oc-
cupants of the three rooms were all
men, and had rooms on the ground
floor.
Investigation showed that the thief
had pried tn escreens open, and in a
couple of instances had to pass right
at the head of the sleeping men. 1t is
certain that the thieves searched the
pockets of the clothes and laid the
contents on the bed right by the side
of the sleepers and sorted out the
money from the papers. Two watches
were also stolen, the third watch had
the owners initials on it and it was
left. The thieves were clever not to
take anything that could be identified

College Students
Not So Keen With
Hero Worshiping

New York, Feb. 14-Supposedly
.s1ational heroes of the diamond, the
Igridiron and the silver sheet do not
stand so high as might be supposed
with the high school and college stu
dents. This was learned today when
the Institute for Public Service made
public some results of national cur
gent history test taken by more than
100000 pupils.
Twenty thousand of the students
averaged only forty six per cent on
ten questions about baseball, football
and the movies. Of 500 seniors, more
of them knew about de Valera, Lloyd
George, Brand and General Leonard
Wood than about which team won the
worlds seres or what shining light of
the screen is starred in current pop
Iular picture. A majority of 500
girl seniors knw more about Sinn
F'elner than about Mile Lenglen and
Ruth Law.
Some of them thought Mile Lenglen
was a French chemist and some 9TH
ers identified her as Japan's represen-
tative at the armament conference.
AS for Christy Mathewson, his pic
ture elicited the answer that he was
the man who sold out the worlds SER
les in 1920.
Thirty five per cent Of the boys did
not know who won the last worlds
series; so per cent did not know Babe
Ruth's home run record, and seventy
per cent of the girl seniors did not
know the name of the only woman
member of congress. Three of hun
dred high school seniors could not
identify Pershng, and FOUR out of the
same 100 did NOT recognize a picture
of President Harding.
