$3.60 a quart in case lots, or from $45 to $65 case, each case contain ing dozen quarts. Seizure of this liquor is practically impossible in most instances, it is stated, because of the drastic Florida laws against unlawful searches, making it impossible for an officer to search for liquor unless he has actual knowledge of it's posses sion by the suspected person.
 Federal officials, however, declare that, while Jacksonville and it's sur rounding territory is wet, the large portion of the liquor supply obtainable is of the moonshine variety distilled in Duval County and that reports of rum running from the coast are great ly exaggerated.
 They admit, however, while claim ing that most of the local supply is moonshine, that thousands of cases if "the real stuff" smuggled into Flor
 
 through Jacksonville on the way west via the railroads. According to the of ficials huge shipments of the prohibit ed liquor are made in freight cars, billed mostly to points in the Middle West and the Far West and camou- flaged as fruits, fish, vegetables and other lawful commodities.
 TWO CARLOADS OF LIQUOR
 Recently two freight cars, loaded with smuggled liquor at small town in the south of Florida, near where the stuff was landed by the snug glers, and billed to Kansas City as to- matoes, were seized in the yards here while being transferred from on rail road to another. The two cars seized each contained approximately 800 cases of choice European liquors. Capture of this cargo, however, was due to tip given the officials, which does not often happen.
 Another source of prolific transpor- tation of illicit whiskey, they state, is via the trunk route. Large quantities of the prohibited liquors are carried North and West b? Individuals or boot Ieggers' agents iu trunks taken with them as personal baggage. Numbers of these trunks have been seized when rough handling at the railroad sta tion caused some of the precious wares to break and leak out. It is said that there are certain wealthy clubs in Middle Western cities whose agents make regular trips to Florida, return ing with trunks filled with the cmug- gled whiskey.

HON. BABE RUTH HAS GAY TIME
 AT TRAINING

According to all accounts the Hon. Babe Ruth used Hot Springs as a locale for everything but ball play ing. By day he golfed, by night he held mean fist at bridge or one of their elevating pastimes. He even essayed a Bill Hart, blandly sitting astride the nape of horses neck. But no baseball.
 Mr Ruth seems to have been a ball player merely by accident Other advertisements claim his rov- ing eye at such times as the demands of the American League schedule do not interfere.
 He even might have been a jokey were it possible to perform major operation looking toward the com- plete elimination of that portion of his anatomy between the knees and the windpipe. Some such thought, apparently, runs through his mind from time to time.
 RIDES skITTIsH HORSE
 We use the term apparently for lack of greater authority other than the story carried into the Florida training camps by ball players who viewed MT. Ruth's activities at first hand. They tell how he began his galloping career aboard a horse that was a perfect lady, demanded more action, got it, and, still undaunted, claimed the most skittish animal in the town as his own.
 To carry out the illusion to the full, he had them rig the stirrups high after the manner of jockeys who wish to do their riding up behind the horses ears. Which is quite all right for jockeys. They usually weight in about 9S degrees Fahren- heit, and could sit oh the horses nose without seriously interfering with his respiration.
 | MT. Ruth is not that kind of a jockey A peculiar figure of a man at best, he could hardly be imagined as an equestrian of any considerable grace. But with his knees elevated by high stirrup's? Pardon our i'm.

from the Bahamas. Bermuda and Cuba, and also
to improve the Canadian border situation. Inter-
national treaties which have been negotiated for
the purpose of putting end to the opium traffic
possibly will furnish a valuable precedent In the
consideration of the matter.
China, cursed by the extensive use of this drug
by its people prohibited traffic in it years ago,
but had difficulty in enforcing the law because Of
the opium that shipped into the country from
India. An appeal made to the British govern
ment, and as result treaty drawn up under
the terms of which Great Britain consented to take
measures to prevent the sending of the drug into
China. At a conference held in Shanghai in 1909,
to which the governments of China, the United
States, Great Britain, Austria Hungary, France,
Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Persia,
Portugal and Russia sent delegates it was agreed
that 1t was the duty of the respective government
to prevent the export of opium to any countries
prohibiting its importation.
With regard to liquor smuggling 1t Is stated
that cargo vessels laden with anchor just out
side the limit of customs jurisdiction and send the
stuff ashore in small boats The vessels themselves,
though engaged in violating the law OF the United
States are beyond the reach OF the American law
enforcing authorities. There is ample reason for
request to the governments under whose flags the
rum-runners sail for agreement by which their
traffic can be stopped

IN NEW MEXICO
Mary Has Plenty of Adventures
In Taos County.

Mary in New Mexico" by Constance
Johnson CThe Macmillan Company
A little family of Bostonese set
tied in cabin in the Rockies far
up in northern New Mexico almost
at the Colorado line. There was
the doctor, his wife. Dave. Mary
and Trixy. They were looking for
an outing with adventure, and they
found it with a vengeance.
Many things hap ened in the
book which might possibly have
been foreign to real life. yet the
author is guided by that excellent
proverb for fictionists. IF it is not
true at least it is well imagined"
The book is an excellent one for
Juveniles. 1t casts over the south
west a glamor that is highly en-
ticing since so much of 1t is found
ed on fact. There aTe horses to
ride, rattlers to kill caves to ex-
plore and religious tokens to dis
cover.
Mateo, the little native boy, is a
splendid type-grateful to his help
ers and faithful to their desires
Anthony is a western boy and
Dave, the easterner, properly APP
preciates his qualities.
An atmosphere of thrilling sus-
pense is maintained throughout the
book. The finding of a ring leads
to all manner of complications and
there is a generous mixing of In
dian trouble into the volume.
The author makes the usual mis-
take of calling the native people
Mexicans instead of Spanish-Amer-
leans but is so unconscious of her
error that there can be little Of
tense.
The material for the volume was
collected while an eastern professor
and his family were living in New
Mexico.

you" by Magdelelne Marx.
You" by Magdeleine Marx, has
been hailed as the revelation of the
soul of woman. 1t Is the authors
sacond novel, the first, Woman"
having caused almost as much
comment as this. But it is certain
ly not the revelation of the soul of
woman as it now is. Anne, of
you" is the woman perhaps of
the future. Perhaps she will al
ways be as rare a type as she is
now.
In the beginning Anne is a wom-
an such as every novelist has pre-
sented. She is economically indepen-
dent as a magazine writer. Mentally
she is above the average. Emo
tionally she is the typical woman
as we have always seen her. She
falls in love with her editor. He
stirs her deeply and the record of
their love is given in the letters
Anne writes him. He is a busy
man, living in his mind, loving but
recognizing always that love is
merely a part of his life, and quite
aside from his real interests. Anne
waits for him, thinks constantly
about him when he is away from
her, egonize1 about him.
Then suddenly Anne becomes
modern. BY the merest chance she
is introduced into band of radi-
Gals who publish a magazine. She
develops the power to talk well In
public, a tart style in writing, the
ability to associate with men as
one Of them. She learns that NOW
that women labor beside men at
the same tasks, an instinct more
powerful than love relegates love
to secondary position-the in
stinct of competition. They be-
held her at close range, judged her
by her acts, beheld her as strong
as themselves, sometimes stronger,
Invested her of that remoteness,
that false poetry with which wom-
en- have been surrounded, and quite
simply regarded her as one OF
| them"
Her work stirs her quite as deep
ly as her love ever had. In fact
she develops the same detached
attitude toward love that the man
has; and when he returns to ex-
press his lordly disapproval of the
work she is doing, she quite calmly
dismisses him. She even finds 1t
not worth while to explain to him,
for she discovers that she is two
beings--the woman who loves the
man, and "the being of faith, the
being possessed by the idea" which
he cannot touch.
AS study of the modern wom-
an, or rather of what the modern
woman may hope to become, the
hook is remarkable. AS a picture
of woman as she is, 1t is of course
highly untrue.
| The style of the book Is unusual;
very sketchy and impressionistic
ipaying the reader the compliment
of assuming that no explanations
of any kind are necessary. What
Annes work is, how she gets from
one situation into another. how the
various people come and go, and
what brings on the moods she ex-
presses in letter, are all merely
suggested. 1t is q much better
book on second reading than or
first. E. M. f.

TO shoot w

There it is! Now you just run up
and down the path, hop around
as you always do, and I'll make. a
film of you. Well screen it at the
regular movie show tonight"
How clever!" exclaimed Uncle
Wiggily. Then he started out on
the path to do a few tricks, while
Uncle Butter set up the camera
near a tree. And just as this was
going on, the Woozie Wolf came
sneaking out of the bushes. He
was cross and hungry and he only
saw Uncle Wiggily out on the path,
hopping around.
Hum! That Wiggily rabbit is
acting funny!" said the Wolf to
himself. "He's going UP and down
the path as If he didn't know
which way he wanted to run. Well,
he hasn't seen me yet, and I'll go
up and nibble his ears before he
hops away"
The Wolf was just going closer
to bite the bunny when, all OF q
sudden, from where he stood with
the motion picture camera, Uncle
Butter cried:
Look out now! I'm going to
shoot"
OF course he meant he was go
ing to take Uncle Wiggily's picture
But the Wolf didn't know this. In
stead, as soon as the bad chap
heard the goat bleat, he~-looked
over and he saw the shiny brass
tube on the box and he heard the
crank clicking. n
I'm going to shoot now!" cried
Uncle Butter again.
