BOOTLEG BOOZE

Lnasmuch as the bootlegger 10 a

the man who deals with him ought to
think Of the ehanoeA he Is taking.
When a man ds handing Q rattlesnake
he Is likely to get bitten.
AS the bootIegger is beyond the pale
OF respectabiHty and Is an enemy to
society and the cowardly foe OF all
that Is good and noble. he does not
feel under any obligation to sell to his
patrons whiskey that Is at least rea-
sonably safe to drink. Consequently
In many Instances he sells under the
name Of whislSey, q vile poison.
Here Is q warning sounded by a
Federal prohibition officer:
1.-THE face on the barroom floor
should be a skull with crossbones un-
der 1t these days,
Death turks in white corn liquor.
1t all contains fusel OIL one Of the
most deadly poisons. First run moon

sinner who makes the stuff-'first
shots 1t is called by the legitimate dis
tIller-doesn't trouble himself to d.still

sTORYETTES

Fish stories are prevalent in Hawaii
as elsewhere. Some OF them are even
believed. For instance, the Honolulu
press recently carried the yarn OF
fish unknown to science being caught
in Hawaiian waters. The strange spec
linen was caught in 1900 feet Of water
about 10 miles off Waianae' beach
Island of Oahu, by a japanese fisher
man. It was on exhibition for some
time at the Ala fish markets. The FISH
weighed about $50 pounds, and was
fiat and almost circular in shape. It's
general silvery hue was relieved with
fins and snout of scarlet, and the dor
sal, about Is inches long. was spotted
with big white dots. Prof. c. H. Ed
mondson, Of the University Of Hawaii,
and an authority on fish, could not
classify the find. So great was the curl
osity aroused at the local market that
a sharp minded fellow erected a booth
and charged small fee for a peek az
the freak. He did a thriving business,

Bonus BILL IN
PRESENT FORM
TOBEFAnURE
Harding Would Veto 1t
And Senate Wouldn't
Override Veto
(By Mark Sulliyan)

WASHINGTON, March 11.-There
isn't the faintest likelihood of tho
present bonus measure as 1t now
stands finding its way to the statute
books during the present congress. All
this activity Is as empty of results as
last years bird nest. Harding will un-
duestionably veto any bonus measure
that does not carry tho sales tax to
raise the money
1t is apparent that the bonus advo-
Gates have pressed tho president to
tho point where they have reached
MS streak of firmness. II the bill
reaches Harding in its present form,
and II -arding vetoes 1t, the veto will
stand. 1t is. probable. indeed 1t is
virtually certain that tho disposition
OF the lower house to placate the sol
dier vote Is strong enough to pass this
or any other bonus measure over the
Presidents veto. But the senate will
not override any veto.
The only chance tho present bonus
| bill has lies in tho event that 1t may
ne amended to carry the sales tax for
raising the money that amendment can
hardly win in the house. Tho house
us almost as strong in opposition to
the sales tax as it is In favor OF tho
bonus. Tho outcome must be that the
present bonus bill will bc buried in the
senate. either before or after n Pres
idsntial veto.
II the Republicans lose in the Nov
cmber elections. either on this issue
or on a combination of issues, they
Will then quickly pass the bonus bill
before they so out OF power and put
1t up to tho Democrats to find tho
money. On tho other hand, II the Re-
publicAns win tho elections. IL they will
have two years In which to turn
around. Within that period many
things may happen: either the bonus
agitation may die down. or II It keeps
up. the condition OF the treasury may
have improved to tho point where Sc
crctary Mellon may withdraw or mo-
dify his opposition. Copyright 1929, by
