DRUGGISTS
TOLD NOT.
To FILL
THEM
Four Men Have Already Been
Arrested on Conspiracy
Charges.

Washington is flooded with
counterfeit liquor prescriptions,
Col. L. G. Mutt, acting chief of
prohibition agents, declared to-
day.
Following the arrest of four
men, one a dealer in wholesale
drugs and the other a pharma-
cist, in connection with the sale
to druggists of false prescrip-
tions, Col. Mutt today warned all
Washington druggists that they
will be cited for revocation Of
their permits if they are found to
have filled any Of the fake pre-
scriptions.
Survey Ordered.
Edgar y. Read. chief Of agents
for the division covering the Dis.
trict of Columbia. was ordered by
Colonel Mutt to make a complete
survey of the local drug stores. to
determine TO what extent the pre-.
scriptions had been sold.
Read Is now engaged in checking
up drug stores for tho 1928 permits
TO dispense liquor, and will take on
the new job with the one now In
progress.
Prohibition Agents Fowler and
Ruby yesterday raided the office
of George ID. Snyder. the dealer in
drug supplies. in the Oxford build
ing. and confiscated 700 prescription
blanks. alleged to be counterfeit.
Snyder lives at 922 NJ street north
west.

mitted. during interrogation. that n
bought the blanks in New Yorl
for $40 a hundred and sold them
for s25.

One OF the prescriptions found IN
the raid was made out TO Harry X
Thaw. and was signed with the nam"
of l.. y. Watkins. 1913 Massachu
setts avenue northwest. Names for
the blanks were taken, in large meas
ure. from the telephone directory.
Snyder. II is alleged. told the dry
agents that druggists sold the pre-.
scriptions for 81 each, the filling
being an additional charge. Snyder
is out on bond. charged with con-
spiracy.
Moses Jacobs, proprietor Of the
Marjet Pharmacy, Seventh and J.
streets northwest, was arrested Sat.
urday night, when the probe began.
Two colored men. Daniel Cox and
Thomas Crews. drug store employees.
also were arrested. The charge in all
cases is conspiracy. Bond was given.
Counterfeits Crude.
Colonel Mutt summoned Read Ia
his office today to order a searching
investigation into the counterfeit
case.
Ignorance i'm such cases IL an old
plea" Colonel Mutt told Read. "If a
druggist is selling liquor under per.
NIT he should know whether the
prescription is or is NOT genuine.
These counterfeits are plainly false.
and could not possibly deceive an ex.
perienced druggist"
Read said he thought the sale OF
the false prescriptions had been nip.
ped in the bud. judging from alleged
admissions made by Snyder.
Cost $400 q Book.
There must be a very large
supply Of these prescriptions in
Washington" replied Colonel Mutt
"or else the counterfeiters would
not he selling them at $40 for a
book of 100.

The theatrical profession has been fighting censorship SO
long that the earliest records are lost.
Modern boards of censors date from 1912 when the Long
Parliament in England suppressed the theatre entirely. Cnel
reason for this, according 20 the elder Disraell, was that the
members of Parliament had smarted so much under the satr-
zeal whips Of the dramatsts.
This censorship was political, as all forms OF censor
people.
Theatricals eventually had to be permitted again IN Eng
Land, because the politicians could not stand up under the
brilliant sarcasm of songs and petitions circulated by stage
writers. Most famous of these was the trump Song Here's
part of it:
Now while you reign, our low petition Graves

May in our comic myrth and tragic rage

Not to act anything you disallow.

Actors at that time had the legal status Of vagabonds. But
the battle between the stage and politicians kept up until the

Censorship in 1922. Censorship in 1642. The critics are

WASHINGTON, July 30-An art

lures Is Leonard H. Wilder of the
Public Health Service. A water
color painting of grains Of dust so
highly magnifed that you can see
the sharp edges of some grains and
the jagged, saw-like edges Of others
is one of his latest works. A diff
ferent style of art is represented
by a pen and ink drawing on his
studio wall, showing a cross section
OF a straw tick with myriads of
parasites swimming in its blood.
All about the wall hang other
examples of the scientific artists
skill. They are not the sort of pic
lures that you would buy to hang
in the parlor, but they are painted,
many of them for the benefit of the
public.
