The poison contents of bootleg

In Washington there is a prohibi

there are hundreds of gallons Of whis-

should be, but which are only bootleg
preparations and which contained
wood alcohol or formaldehyde or large
quantities of fusel OIL
An interesting anecdote is told by
Commissioner Haynes, to illustrate
what the bootleg whiskey drinker. may
expect.
A group of agents raided a still in
mountainous. section not far away
from this part of the country. They
got plenty of mash and plenty of al
legged liquor. One of them, an ex-
pert, on examining the liquor said to
the prisoner:

Bucharest, Rumania, July IT,
Rumania. considers that her frontiers
are threatened with a Russian in
vasion, not necessarily of armed men,
but rather by starving thousands
who may be driven III August from
the Volga basin by crop failures.
She fears .repitition of the move

which left the Volga last summer,
driven out by hunger.
What steps should be taken if this
happensaS These. people cannot LIE

How to any appreciable degree for
the frontier is long and the Rumanlan
army is not large.
Poland is equally interested with
Rumania. She is subject to the same
invasion. The recent visit here of
President Pilsudski, of Poland, was
to consult as to a course of mutual
action. In August the Rumanian and
Polish crops will be ready for harv-
est, and neither country wants it's
food supplies to be depleted by the
thousands of Russians who may make
a last effort to save their lives.
Rumania has today six army di-
visions on the Dniester frontier, and
even so many hundred Russians are
slipping over the boundaries each

Home Brewing on Decline

New England rapidly is losing. in

Of home brew. 1t also is losing it's
taste for the various concoctions ,for.
merly manufactured on quite an ex-
tensive scale.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes,
commenting on the decline of the "in-
dustry" in that section, says the de-
mand for yeast, hope and malt has
dropped off by half from the peak of
the fad. And the decline continues.
The passionate earnestness of the
American people when. in pursuit of
new fancy is subject.of humorous
comment evencJwith those who are rat

Swedish Shipping Recovering

Stockholm, July 14.-Less than
eight percent of Swedish shipping is
now idle, according to the latest re-
port of the Swedish Shipowners' As
sociation. This report shows a sharp
contrast to conditions year ago,
when in June Swedish shipping de-
preston reached bottom mark with
over ID percent of the country's total
tonnage idle and nearly 46I percent
of the men employed laid off. The
report of the Shipowners' Association
covers only it's membership, but vii
tually all of the country's shipping
is owned by members of the Asso-
ciation.s
The recovery of Sweden in ship
ping is based largely on the country's
approach to normal in many of its
most S.important industries and the
rapid increase in exports.

Means of Weathering
Financial Crisis

Moscow, Julylst14.-Limitation of
production and probably the closing
down Of several factories have been
recommended by a special commits
sion OF experts in a report to the
Council of Labor and Defense as q
means of weathering the industrial
crisis, which, after a few months of
revival of Russian trade, has again
become acute.
Since 1918 the Soviet government
has many times been obliged to re-
sort to limitation of industry due t.
shortage of fuel, raw materials or
food, but the cause of the present
stringency is different.
Limited sales, bad trade connec-
tions with the provinces, and the in
sufficiecy Of. working capital at the
disposal of the various government
trusts and syndicates all have con-
tributed to the present situation.
Since the inauguration of the new
economic policy the various national
lied Industries have been combined
in dlsyndicates. and reorgan-
lied to- workGonFa commercial basis
All concerns have been deprived Of
government supplies and their EN-.
ployees no longer are rationed. Hav-
ing begun with very small capital
at time when the Soviet ruble. was
continuously depreciating in purchas-
ing power, they had to fall back upon
their old stocks and,later when they
began to increase production in order
to manufacture sufficient goods to
obtain funds for future operations.
AS a result the markets soon wera
flooded with goods. Owing to the alb
normality of trade conditions and the
low purchasing power of the ruble,
these goods could neither be. sold
freely to wholesalers nor direct to
consumers
The commission" proposes that
practicallyseveryri industry be- curtail-
ed. The program fixes, the. following
percentages of reduction: Coal in
dustry by u16,spspeent,, mines tby ,33
percent; gold and platinum by IL per-
cent; salt, 332percent;, metal, six tc
seven percent; cotton textiles, 25 per,
cent; wool, 20' percent; flax, 20 per-
cent; silk 10@pereent;. leather, l5 per-
cent; chemicals five percent; glass,
64 percent; J. .china,-34 percent
The commission, also reports that
production has fallen greatly in com
parison with pre-war output, the ra-
ito being from seven and .one-half
percent in the metal industry up to
81 percent in the electrical.
