 Double distillation and ageing in charred barrels for at least four years is necessary to remove the fusei oil, Mr. Blincoe says.
 'No moonshine I have ever seen in my experience as a prohibition en- forcement officer has been aged. The bootlegger's motto seems to be full speed ahead with no thought for safety of those drinking his poisons."

WATCH KEPT TO
 STOP SMUGGLING
ARREST OF SUSPECTS MAY RE. vEVAL SOURCE OF ILLEGAL
 TRAFFIC IN DOPE

Officials of Alaska are confident that a huge narcotic ring is operating in Alaska, with underground passages reaching from the Canadian boundary to Nome. Of late months the narcotic trade is apparently increasing and eff. forts are being made by officials of the First and Third Divisions to stamp out the ring.
 From Hyder on the south to Anchor age Federal officials are on the watch for smugglers of opium and cocaine, with their kindred drugs.
 With decrease in bootlegging oper- ations, smuggling of dope is becoming more frequent, the drugs being easier carried, quicker disposed of, and at- tracting less attention than liquor ship ments
 It is suspected that the head of the ring is working from Prince Rupert or Hyder, with agents scattered at many points on the coast. The large number of foreigners at work on the government railway has made the traf. fc profitable with detection impossi- ble
 With increasing vigilance on the part of the officers and a checking up of drugs handled by legitimate dealers the traffic can be reduced to mini mum. A number of suspects are un- surveillance, and arrests may be look ed for at any time.

ness and prosperity of it's citizens.
 Lack of system or definite plan in town management is causing a decidedly grave situation to arise in the financial condition of this town. Haphazard methods of valuation of property and consequent unfairness in taxation which is in force will not stand the scrutiny of unbiased assessors. The failure to properly bond and create a sinking fund is a deep rut that eventually leads to the pit from which the ascent is difficult.
 What improvements in the last ten years have the voters voluntar- fly voted? Where are the curbings of streets, sidewalks and paved gutters that town beautiful, a town we'll governed, a town in which it's citizens take pride demands? Alp sent! Absent because the town fathers or rather step-father say that the taxes are high enough now and we must pay the old bills before incurring new. Is the credit of Ga naan strained because it has let itself run down the rut?
 Naturally with conditions as such there can be only inefficient or in- capable men filling the town offices. Men who care only for the honor, remuneration or the publicity ensu- ing do not make the best officials. The men with ideas are not wanted as officials in this town for some one could not dictate the conservative policy now existing. Get a Town Manager and let him have full sway and uncriticised support. Keep poli- tics away from town offices.
 The whole situation would be greatly improved if there were few CT putting the can on Canaan and more putting the can in Canaan.
 Is it impossible? No! Canaan Can".

and advanced to second on Ryan's single to left. Hubby forced Ryan at second and then stole second himself l. Minacci struck ont, but Foley's single to left drove Fenn and Hubby across the platter. Meade then shot a single to center but Emond forced him at second. This four run lead, with three later scores, was too much for Housatonic to overcome, although ninth inning really left them one run short of q tie score.
 A rotten case of judgement by Cooney robbed Baldwin of a second home run in the second inning. The ball cleared the fence on the fly at least five feet fair but the ump called it foul and then apologized for his mistake, but did not allow Art the run.
 Canaan scored a run in the fourth on two errors by Sullivan and one by Mccormick, following Emond'8 single through short. In this inning F.. Minacci stole second standing mp while McCabe had the ball in the pitchers box. In the fifth Canaan scored again when McCabe walked Emond with the bases full, forcing in I. Minacci from third. One more run resulted from Meade's sharp two-bagger to center after Foley had singled in the seventh. Emond walked again and Hubby ran for him. Meade got to third when Mccormick dropped Tracey's throw to catch him stealing. Hubby started for second and Meade started for home. Hubby was trapped but Scott threw to the plate and Cooney called Meade out, stirring up an other storm of protest.
 With considerable aid from both umpires Housatonic scored four runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh inn ings. In the sixth, Tracey singled to right with two and two on. Foley threw wild to the plate, two runs scoring and Tracey reaching third. He was stranded as Murphy ground ed out. Cooper handed R. Minacci a hit in the seventh and Cooney pre- sented him with a run a moment later. With one out, Wright ground ed to Emond and was out at first. Hubby threw low to third to catch R. Minacci and kid in the crowd grab bed the ball. By the time Fenn Minacci recovered the ball, his brother was nearly home and beat the throw. By all the rules, he should have been returned to third because a block ball occurred, but Cooney had rules of his own.
 By the grace of Cooney, Tracey drew a pass to close the ninth. ! Murphy hit through short, sending Tracey to second. R. Minacci forced Murphy at second, Tracey reaching

Col. Charles R. Forbes, director of the United States Veterans Bu reau, has chosen two more sites fol veteran hospitals. With the selec tion of St. Cloud, Minn., as one o1 them it is believed that Minnesota and nearby sick and wounded Yeter ans will be we'll taken care of. The lack of hospitals in Minnesota caus ed the American Legion to collect z fund of it's own and start building hospital at Rochester. This hos pital will take care of between 25C and $50 mental cases among service men. The Legion's hospital, whicE will be operated in connection with the Mayo clinic, will look after sur gical and general cases.
 Director Forbes also announced that he has decided against the Great Lakes Naval Training station as the site for a Michigan hospital for mental cses. Instead $1,500,00O will be spent for a sanitarium at Camp Custer. The Michigan hos pital will be of 500 beds capacity.
 As far as can be learned no fur ther announcement has been made regarding the establishment of a mental hospital in New York State. The New York Legion has just opened it's own camp in the Adiron- dacks for the care of tubercular ex-service men. Several hundred Of these diseased veterans are being housed, fed and doctored by the service mems organization. Urgent need, according to published state ments, exists in the Empire State for the quick erection of hospital for mental cases. New York, western Pennsylvania and certain sections of the west are said to be hard hit by the number of mentally unbalanced veterans for which these sections have to provide accomodations.
 Canned vegetables, jams, potatoes, other food, and all sorts of camp equipment is requested by the New Yokr American Legion which has recently opened its Adirondack camp for tubercular world war veterans. The service men paid $85,000 for the site and have expended many more thousands on equipment in an effort to make inroads into the rapidly increasing ranks of veterans who are suffering with the disease.
 The Maryland court of appeals has reversed the decision of lower court and has held the recently passed state bonus bill unconstitu- tional in form. American Legion and other veteran organizations have started work on new measure which will be submitted to the next general assembly. The new bill will be designed to meet the objections of the high court to the last one. Before its presentation to the assembly 10000 Maryland voters will sign the bill.
