IN ALCOHOL TRANSFER
Enormous Profits in BcotIegging Re.
veaIed in Trial Of Alleged
Agents.

Cleve and, Nov. More than $15,.
100000 changed hands in little more
than a year In the alleged transfer
of 10000 gallons of alcohol by Louis
and Abraham Auerbach and others,
II was revealed yesterday, when the
Auerbach brothers, Morris Moss,
Abraham Llmbert, Moritz Cohen and
Samuel Selker entered pleas OF not
guilty to indictments charging them
with conspiracy to evade the pro-
hib.tion laws, and attorneys for the
Auerbach brothers made a vain at.
tempt to have their $4,000 bonds re-
duced.
The government alleges the men
withdrew alcohol on federal permits
on the ground they were using ii in
the manufacture of toilet prepara-
tons and then sold II to bootleggers.
Federal investigation today pointed
out that the $4,000 gallons of grain
alcohol alleged to figure in the trans.
action were purchased at about Sc
a gallon. 1t was then sold, the gov
ernment alleges, to bootleggers for
more than $26 a gallon. This trans
action. they point out, would net a
profit close to s2,00O.00o.
In the hands of the bootleggers the
Investigators said. the alcohol was di-
luted SO that where one gallon -ori
ginally existed, three gallons appear
ed. Colored and favored with rye
extracts the liquor was then sold at
SIG a quart or $64 gallon.
Thus the original 10000 gallons at
Sc would increase to 100000 gallons
at s64 q gallon or the grand total
revenue of $l5,360000. t

CHAPTER /.


Round and round the dance floor
Of the Midvale Boat club fox-trotted
Molly Wayne. And round and round,
it seemed to her, life itself was spin
ming that night like some enormous
"put-and-take" top, on each face of
it some destiny marked for Molly,
imminent, irrevocable, for better or
for worse. For she was in the May
time of her life, %. May itself was
making silver magic on the river she
glimpsed through the boathouse win
dows. Music and the dance were in
her blood like an intoxication. And
three young men were with her.
Each of them had been a wooer of
hers since high school days; each
of them answered vibrantly to some
side of Molly's nature and any one
of them might momentarily ask hes
to be wholly his--his partner and
mate to the end.
She saw it in their eyes as she
danced with each in turn. She felt
it in their touch, heard it in The
murmur of their half-gay, half-anx-
ious bantering about her interest in
their rivals. One of them would be
sure to ask her the fateful question
that evening.
Would it be Ben Wheeler, keen
and bright as the knives and razors
he so efficiently manufactured?
"Keen" was the very word he used
in speaking of his feelings for her

LEE ON MARS

MARCoNl' working with delicate
machinery on his yacht, is un-
successful at receiving wireless
message from Mars. He will try
again.
Mars recently has been the near
est to our earth since 1903 trifle
of only about 100000 miles away.
At times the distance is $4,000, 900
miles. In 1924 the red planet will
approach within 100000 miles of
Garth.
When we become conceited about
travelling several hundred miles an
hour in airplanes, we should ponder
the speed of the mysterious bodies
we call stars.
True philosophy is humility in the
realization of the infinite wonders of
the universe, compared with the
speck, humanity.
What would you see if you could
travel to Mars in a rocket?
To start with, you'd find planet
about half the size of the earth.
Mars has two moons. A day and a
night lasts 81 minutes longer than on
earth. The Martian year is G87
days long.
The oceans of Mars are rapidly
CRYING up. 1t has at least 200 "cs-
nails, = some rs miles wide and 5000
miles long. Our astronomers claim
they see, not these canals, but the
vegetation that sprouts up along
them in springtime.
Temperature on Mars averages GO
degrees.
A rock that weighs 100 pounds on
earth would weigh only SO pounds
on Mars.
This difference in gravity. along
with other peculiarities of environ
ment, causes our scientists to believe
that if people live on Mars they are
from II to 5 feet tall.
All these scientific facts and spec
ulatlons about Mars are interesting.
More interesting is mans ability to
reach out through space so many mill
lions of miles and gather these pieces
of direct and circumstanial evidence.

DREAMING DREAMS.

THERE'S many a happy "tot" in
a Americas today-and the joy is
not confined to the children, either,
but possibly the happiest of all is
]. Ralston Cargill.
Mr.. Cargill has dreamed dreams,
and he has seen another dream come
true" For many weary months he
has overcome obstacle after obstacle,
in securing swimming pool for "his
kiddies." Possibly the pleasure and
recreation for the adult had a place
in his heart, but always his plea has
been for the children, and the chill
dren are deeply indebted to him for
the many hours Of pleasure they will
derive this summer in Americas own
playground swimming pool,
John Ansley, Sam Heys, Everett
Schneider, Chas. Wheatley and 9th
ers have aided Mr.. Cargill in the I'M
dertabing, one that sometimes seemed
doomed to failure Thursday after
noon more than 200 plunged into the
water and found an hours recrea-
ton.
The pool is a valued asset to the
city. The water will always be fresh
and pure, for it is largely the water
we drink. The youth of the city will
battle under favorable conditions, re-
moved from the temptations that too
often beset "the old swimmin' hole"
and the nearness to the center of
population will reduce greatly the
cost entailed by reason of driving
many miles to other lakes and ponds
in the county. 'The saving in gaso-
line will be greater than the cost of
water" one citizen suggested yester-
day.
Open early in the morning and re-
naming open until 10 at night makes
it possible for many to enjoy a plunge
before or after business hours.
The efforts of Mr.. Cargill and his
able advisers and co-workers have
provided Americas with another big
asset, having given all another means
of pleasure and recreation.
