| IN. BOOTLEG ! LIQUOR
Only 2 Per. Cent Free From
Poison, Prohibition Di-
rector Declares.

NEW YORK, January 24.-Assert-
ing that only per cent Of the ''vile
stuf' being seized BY prohibition
agents is found to be free from
poisonous fusel oil, Roy A Haynes,
national director Of prohibition en-
forcement, told 500 New York pastors
that he was mot surprised" at the
number of post-holiday alcoholics
under treatment in New, York hos
pitals.
To-day. it is dangerous to violate
and 1t is especially dangerous to
drink the stuff after it is purcha sed, "
Director Haynes said,
When you hear a man talking
loosely and fippantly about my
bootlegger' he either has not thought
seriously of the menace to law and
order which the bootlegger repre-
sents or he has not placed a proper
valuation on the sanctity and majesty
of the law"
Says Law Ii Being Enforced.
Director Haynes insisted that pro-
hibition is being more and more
rigidly enforced. despite what he
unpatriotic. false, wet propaganda,
particularly in the large metropolitan n
centers. that has for it's object the
delusion Of the American people into
the belief that the prohibition law
Is failure: that it is unpopular,
that 1t was Slipped over on them
that 1t is not being enforced and
, that 1t can't be enforced" He as
serted there are thirty paid organi-
cations in existence, "strivine night
and day to bring about the impossi-
ble-the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment"
The. speaker called upon the clergy
to uphold him. saying that prohibit
tion was sponsored by churchgoers
and It's enforcement should have their
support.
Progress Definite and Sure.
II make bold to make this state
ment," he said, that there never was
law enacted in any civilized coun-
try as drastic as this law, which
had been SO early and so successfully
enforced" He described the prog
ress of enforcement as "insistent,
definite and sure asserting it de-
crees the final doom of the illegal
liquor business"
Optimism for prohibition enforce
ment also was expressed by William
H. Anderson Of the Anti-Saloon
League, who followed Mr.. HAYNES
with statement that "a year ago
crooks, both official and unofficial,
were not only partners with bootleg
gers, but were getting away with it.
Today many guilty men, both off,
cials and others, are in the federal
penitentiary and others are on their
way"

DERELICI7ONS OF BOYS AND GIRLS
HELD MALNLYDLlE TO LAZYPAREzVIS

Modern life is not interesting to
children. The adolescent girls
amusements are created for her;
she has few tasks to hold her
mind. The modern girl is all
right: she is as fundamentally
sound. as her grandmother. It's
her surroundings that are all
wrong"
Miss Ferris made a plea for
young woman social workers.
THE older women" she said, do
not understand the girls. and they
permit them amusements which
the girls themselves would taboo
were they to be put in charge.
They will be much more strict
than the older generation"
The conference awarded Miss
Cecil francesca, Kansas City lead
er of the Camp Fire movement.
the medal of honor for having
submitted to blood tranfusion
to save the life of a man, a
stranger to her.

BARRETT SPEAKS OF FABRICATION
 OF VEL|E MOTOR

"Lubrication is the very basis of all successful motor operation" says J. C., Barrett, local distributor of the Velie. with headquarters in Ensley. "Without oil at every point in eX- actly the right quantity, at exactly the right time, the finest motor that automobile genius can devise would make a poor showing. Velie engi- neers had full scope to work out their improvements. Results have been achieved which add an important chapter to the development of the Six power plant.
 "oll is pumped under pressure through the drilled crankshaft to every connecting rod bearing. From the rod bearing, the oil is forced through a tube directly to each pis- ton pin. oil leads likewise feed each cam shaft bearing, as well as the front gears themselves. Velie engi- neering stands out distinctly in the valve action, design and method of fabrication.
 "The reasons for t!-s exceptionally quiet Velie-built motor are readily apparent when the construction is viewed. Every moving part runs in bath of oil. oil is directly pumped through the drilled rocker arm shaft. feeding supporting bearings and the rocker arms themselves. Cups on the push rods and on the tappets are kept full of oil at al times, providing a cushion against noise and prac- ticallv eliminating wear.
 No dust. dirt or grit can get into a Veiie motor. Construction of cyl inder blocks, crank case and valve mechanism is such that the complete motor forms a positive dust-tight and dirt-proof unit"
