STATE CHEMIST
WARNING
ON 'MOONSH|NE'
Good Bonded Whiskey" And
elicit Differ Greatly,
Claim; Unclean Stills
Often Used.

A scientific warning to all consum-
ers of moonshine that the illicit whis-
key they drink is impure and dan
gerous" at best was issued recently
by II. M. Lampert, chemist for the
state prohibition department.
Just try small amount of moon
shine on vanished surface, note the
result and then use your imagination
as to what it will do to the Innings Of
your stomach" Lamper invited.
THE most practical distiller can
not make drinkable whiskey in small
amounts 1t is impossible" he said
"Lampert outlined the processes
and conditions of making good bond
e6 wniskey" and then detailed the
process of making moonshine, as he
learned them from accompanying
state dry agents on raids.
Made in Filthy Quarters.
There have been innumerable in
stances where mash has been found
buried in the ground, under manure,
in pig-stys, dug-outs, and in equally
dirty filthy and unsanitary surround
ings.
such conditions are especially
favorable to wild fermentation, lead
ing to the formation of organic acids,
acetOne and butyl alcohol, known to
be deadly poisons.
After completion of the fermenta-
ton, the mash is transferred to the
still, almost all of which are dirty
Ind unsanitary. Some are built-in
and are never removed or cleaned.
On completing one distillation, they
are allowed to stand until the next
batch is ready. Naturally some OF
this residue dries in the still, subse-
quently to be loosened and mixed
with additional mash. No care is
taken to regulate the temperature,
when fermenting and volatile comes
over into the distillate. mixing with
the alcohol and water, the main con-
stituents of whiskey.
AT high temperatures, the acid IL
the mash acts on the copper of the
still, forming verdigris, which is sub
acetate of copper, and which is pois-
OnOus.
~BOnded Mellow, Palatable."
The conditions under which good
bonded liquor is made are entirely
different Only the choicest materials
are used and the mailing, washing,
fermenting, distilling and final ageing
are made under most sanitary condi-
tions. There is excellent control and
supervision during the entire process.
1t has taken years of experience, IN
training and research, to obtain this
efficiency"
Even the expertly made govern
ment whiskey when first made is
colorless, nauseating, and deleterious,
Lampert said. 1T is raw, crude,
harsh in taste and flavor and distinct
Nv NINA Iatahle"
Following the aging, however, il
become mellow and palatable and fit
to be used as beverage"
There is a certain body, fullness
of flavor, delicacy, softness, and so
forth in this finished product" Lam
pert remarked.
The old theory that ageing makes
alcohol less poisonous by transform
ing the much feared "fusel oip' into
less harmful compounds was denied
by Lampert.

Lights to Mark
Way for Pilots

Electric company, as 325,OOO,OOO candle
power.
The Searchlights for the five main
towers are Sperry lights, manufac-
tured by the Sperry company under
General Electric patents. They are
hlgh-1ntensity arc searchlights with
36-inch projectors. The 81 smaller
lights, which have 18-inch projectors
and incandescent lamps, were designed
and built by the General Electric com
pany especially for this service. These
land lighthouses all represent the fur
thest advance yet made by engineers
in producing brilliant illuminating ap-
paratus.
Seen Fifty Miles Away.
The visibility of these lights is such
that the speeding pilots of the night
mail, 1000 feet above the earth, will
never be out of sight of one or an
other of the friendly beams. The big
lights can be seen at a distance of
fifty miles and the smaller lights will
be discernible thirty miles away. Leav-
ing one behind him, the pilot will i'm
mediately pick up the next one, so
that his course will be marked beyond
any possibility of his wandering off to
become lost in the darkness of the
great void.
Probably it is not fully appreciated
to what extent these two score eyes
of the night mail will be automatic.
The land lighthouses will need no
keepers. Electrical mechanisms
which can be depended upon to run by
themselves efficient one-half horse
power motors on the big lights, one
sixth horsepower motors on the small
ones) will keep them oscillating in a
continuous orbit, so that the giant
shafts will always be moving slowly,

will be inspected, however, every
