ling apparatus, and he explained TO the
court how the still was operated.
Late in the afternoon the defense at
tackled the search warrant and pointed
out that change had been made in the
warrant after the search had been made.
The warrant originally was made in the
name of Anna AIichelin. but after the
raid by the authority of the court the
words alias Jane AIelchen' were added.
On the grounds of the change in the war
rant. the defense moved for dismissal
of the case, which was overruled by
Judge Frank ID. z. Stowe.
Considerable time was spent by the
defense in attempting 10 determine
whether mash and swill We're the same
thing and whether mash could be red TO
hogs and whether the latter after being
fed with mash would lose their sobrlety.
The witnesses testified that the mash on
exhibition contained grain, prunes
raisins and other ingredients. Deputy
Sheriff Whittemore opined that swirl
comprised potato and orange peels. left
overs from the table, with maybe prune
thrown in once in a while.
One of the humorous situations IN the
proceedings occurred when States Attor-
ney Whitney offered 10 send Sherlif
Wellman out TO a garage where the oulk
of the seizures were kept and bring back
a sample of the mash. The defense OBJ
iected unless the entire supply of mash
was brought into the court room. A
compromise was reached whereby the
sheriff, his two deputies and Attorney
CIawson went TO the cache, each othceT
returning TO the court room with pau
containing samples of the mash, the odor
of which soon permeated the atmosphere
of the room.
The examination of the witnesses was
completed at 400 and both sides rested.
Judge Stowe stated that he would rem
der his opinion when the court convened
this morning.

they have invariably shown either pos

DANCE FLOOR
SMILE ECHOES

Everybodyoon the dance floor today
may not bee executing the Conversation
Walk But verbal patter between
partners often keeps apace with the
pitter- patter of their feet on the
waxed floor. aSome of the converse
ton doesn't mean anything. Much of
the talk is mere gossip. And, naturally,
most of the sayings are about dane
ing and thoughts akin to the light
fantastic. The steppers usually con-
verse merely tor the sake OF sociala-

s.rutting or gliding couples are highly
humorous although said In all serious

DON'T INFECT MOSQUITOES.

Commenting on printed reports on
mosquito control in such diverse coun-
tries as Spain and the Dutch East In
dies, the e. S. public health service
calls attention the fact that the gov
eminent authorities who are trying to
free a certain region in Spain of mall
aria refuse to allow the sufferers from
that disease to remain in the region
over night lest they infect the malaria
bearing mosquitoes, which feed only at
night. Few white people live in-the re-
gion, and most of the sufferers come
from considerable distances and seem
to have contracted malaria while
working there in previous years. Their
blood is examined and they are pro-
vided with sufficient quinine to last
them for two weeks and are told to go
home at once and to report back at
the end of that period for another two
weeks supply.
The theory is, of course, that if mos
quitoes cannot find a malaria, patient
to bite they cannot acquire malaria
germs and therefore cannot pass them
on to well persons. In other words, if
men do not infect mosquitoes, mosqui-
toes will not infect men
Incidentally, the service notes that
the American minnows, Gambusia af-
finish, are being imported into Spain

A "PEPTlMIsT.r

An optimist is man who believes
that the seed he plants in the garden

pictures on the package
A pessimist stands beneath the tree
of prosperity and growls when the
fruit falls on his head
A "peptimist" IS the happy medium
between these two
He doesn't believe with the optimist,
equal to the picture on the package
that the seeds will produce something,
but he does believe they will grow and
bring some returns for his labor.

meet it.
And here lies his success-lookfng

both sides clearly.

ANTHRACITE REEKS
WITH GRAFT

The truth about anthracite is grad
ually coming to the surface. Operators
have set out half -heartedly to reduce
wages, asserting that the miners are
overpaid. And the miners have en-
Enthusiastically offered to prove that
profits are inflated, cost statements
inexact, deceptive, and in many cases
untruthful; that payrolls are padded
with relatives of the owners and with
politicians; and that the anthracite
fields Of Pennsylvania are still rocking
with petty graft.
Operators assert that the cost Of
producing the average. ton of anthra-
cite has Increased tremendously, and
unquestionably there is some basis for
the statement. But If, as they say, the
cost of producing the average ton OF
coal is $3.50, they should be able to
prove it. IF the labor cost is $3.92 a
ton, they should have proof of that.
too. But for reasons best known to
themselves, operators always have re-
sisted federal and other attempts to-
yet at the real cost of anthracite.
Through their propagandists they are
trying to create the impression that
profits are low and that the mine price
is based on competition rather than
on the old dictum of "au the traffic
viii bear" They would like the pub
lie to consider operators as a single
group, and not as part Of vast profit
taking organization, including the coal
sales companies and the railroads.
Propaganda, however, cannot conceal
all the facts.
