IT'S A QUEER WORLD.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 11.-Kate f.
Eftemin is a law-abiding person. To-
day she is an irritated one. Someone,
she charges, tried to palm off a
blind tiger" on her in the guise of
a refined ice cream parlor. On June
13 Mrs. Eftemin purchased an 'ice
cream parlor" in a thiclly populated
part of town. With the hot weather
in mind she prepared for a rushing
business in ice cream cones and soda
water. To her surprise customer
after customer, she AYERS, with a sly
wink demanded something not con-
templated under the Volstead law.
Stating all these facts and many
more, Mrs. Eftemin declares she
came to the conclusion that some
one had sold her a bootleg parlor"
So she brought suit against George
Gerber, who, she says, sold her the
place, demanding $24O, the sale price
and $1,000 damages"

$500 VETERANS GET
AID IN EDUCATION

SALEM, Or, July 11.-(A. P.)-
More than $500 eX-service men have
availed themselves of the benefits pro-
vided by the educational aid law ap-
proved by the voters of the state at
report prepared here yesterday by
Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state.
Money expended in behalf of these
applicants aggregated $1,197, I14,43.
During 1919 there was dsbursed to
eX-serVice men attending educational
institutions of Oregon $207, ,45S.SS,
while in 1920 the disbursements for
this purpose totaled $494, ,045.99. Dis
bursements for 1921 aggregated $780,
075.47, while for the first six months
of this year there was expended $14S,-
1875. OF the amount disbursed for
educational aid there has been return-
ed to the state because of the cash
bonus and loan law $SS,703.19.
The educational aid law provides
that ex-serVice men shall receive as
sistance to the extent of $25 month
while attending an educational insti-
tuition, but when a person who has OBJ
tained this benefit desires to take ad-
vantage of the cash bonus and loan
act, he must return to the state any
amount he has received for education-
al aid.
To provide for the payment of the
educational aid there was authorized
a tax of mills. The receipts from
this tax probably. will be sufficient to
pay all disbursements for 1922, Mr.,
Kozer said today. Starting next year.
Mr.. Kozer said, one-half of the
amount raised by the tax probably
would be ample to meet the demands
of eX-service men,

ty for his crime was advice of Dist
rict Judge Deich yesterday as he
gave maximum punishment of 800
fine and 100 days in the county Jail
to Ralph Almeter and regretted he
could do no more. Almeter was ar
rested by Motorcycle Deputy Lamont
Sunday after his machine had colli-
ded with another driven by Harry
Clayton on the interstate bridge fill,
carrying both through the fence and
over the embankment.
The legislature in its wisdom
seems to have provided protection
for drunken auto drivers" comment
ed Judge Deich. las the law reads
the sensible thing for an automobile
driver to do, if he wants immunity,
is to get drunk. A person arrested
for reckless driving is subject to
fine of $500 and year in Jail, but
the worst a drunken driver can get
is 100 days in jail or a-$10O fine or
both"
Occupants of the machines in the
wreck were slightly cut and bruised.
Clayton testified that there was Ii
quor on the breath of Almeter and
that G. A. McQuarrie, an occupant
of Almeter's machine, had been
drinking. Almeter admitted having
had two drinks, but denied that he
was intoxicated. McQuarrie was
tined $50 for being drunk. Almeter

Letter Complaining of Tn-

Foster Oct. 27, Says Clerk

The charge made by the Federal
grand jury, Of which w. De Sau.sure
Trenholm is foreman, that a letter
complaining Of inefficient prohibition
enforcement under Ralph A. Day sent
to Federal Judge Foster to be for
warded to the Treasury Departmc mt
was delayed in transmission" brought
forth denials yesterday from Federal
District Court attaches.
Alexander Gilchrst jr., clerk of the
Federal District Court. said that there
had been absolutely no delay. "The
letter" he said, was handed by Fore
man Trenholm to Judge Foster October
~. After receiving the copy OF the let
ter put it in the mails in an official
envelope directed to Secretary Mellon
that same afternoon. This would indi-
cate that the missive reached Washing
ton, and If there was any delay it oc-
cured in Washington"
Attorneys attached to the legal d.
vision of prohibition enforcement head
quarters in this city were of the opin-
ION yesterday that the grand iury's
action IN attacking prohibition enforce
ment under Director Day was entirely
uncalled for, in view of the fact that
the jury had no evidence of sufficient
strength to return any indictments.
The real trouble" saio one attorney
was that Mr.. Day refused to permit
himself to be used by the bootleggins
interests, and these interests furnished
the sort of evidence on which the jury's
letter was based"
E. C. Yellowley, who succeeded Mr.
Day, yesterday spoke in commentator
of the latter's administration. He said
that the records showed that Mr.. Da,
had been conscientious enforcement
officer who had reduced Withdrawals se

a BOY as is enveloped in the embraces
ol wealthy looking grandparents OF
uhcies or aunts on the train platform
and the porter, who had mothered him
all the way from Shreveport, La, was
looking forward confidently to such a
demonstration. He expected it to be
at least $40 party.
TO his chagrin, there was no party
at all. Nobody met the boy. The
porter waited with him, to make GER
tain, until the cars were taken to the
yards, for he was out the price of the

tnere were any relatives around he
aimed to meet them.

train was just pulling out of Shreve-
port, ne said, when a woman raced
alongside his car with greenback in
one hand and the boy in the other.
The porter accepted both and also
the woman's statement that the boy
would be met in New York. A moment
later he discovered that the preenback
was a one-dollar bill, that the bow had
