Davis Sticks to
Belief Rum Stories
Grossly Exaggerated

Detroit. Mich. May a3.-Jamcs r.
Davis, federal prohibition director for
Michigan, today reiterated his denial
OF newspaper dispatches from Chi
ca%o quoting an article in the Chi
cagn Daily News, which declared
large quantities of liquor are being
Snl'iSsled across Detroit river from
canada to Ecorsc. a suburb.
The dispatches quoted the Daily
News articles as declaring 100000
gaNons of liquor were being brought
DAILY into the United States from
canada. that rum row" in E,corse
was four miles long, and that great
great profits were being made by
persons engaged in rum running.
THE rum row. in Ecorse is about
as long as the distance of two city
blocks, Mr., Davis said IN it are
about eight or ten rum runners who
employ about 80 men. The total
number of boats engaged in rum run
ming is not more than 40.
Il believe the writer of the Chi
cagO stories has been mislcd by the
rum runners themselves. They like
to make it appear that the whiskey
sold here is genuine. If the public
knew what large percentage of it
was spurious the illicit liquor sales
man would have to go out of bust
ness.
1T is true that a small quantity of
Whiskey is coming across from Can
ada, but not more than one twen-
tieth of that sold here ever saw a
distillery."
To support his statements Drec-
tor Davis sent a group of his agents
to Ecorse today in fast motorboat
to accompany a party of Detroit
neWspapermen.
Two rum running boats were
sighted on the river during the trip
which required two hours. One Of
the boats was a motorboat contain
ing several cases of goods" The
other was a smaller motored craft
and contained four small kegs, pre-
sumably of beer. Upon sighting the
federal craft. the rum runners turn
ed back into Canadian waters and
remained there, as federal authori-
tics are unable to stop vessels eX-
ccpt in American waters.

AirpIanes to Find Lost Lakes

Locating and photographing undis-
covered lakes in the national forests
of Alaska are the latest uses to
which the airplane has been put, says
the forest service, United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
1t has long been known that there
are many lakes on the hcadlands
and islands traversed by the inside
passage between Seattle and Skag-
way that do not appear on any map.
During the New York Nome fight
made by army aviators lakes were
frequently sighted which could not
be found on the latest and most au-
thentic maps of the territory. Tales
of unknown water bodies are con-
stantly being brought in by the
trappers and prospectors. Less than
a year ago a lake four and one-half
miles long and one-half mile wide
was discovered at the head of Short
bay. This lake has more than 1000
acres Of surface area and is less than
one and one quarter mile from tide
water not because Of the surround
ing country's rough topography has
remained unknown and unnamed

these "lost lakes" may be sources Of

Peak Named for Indian Girl

SacajaWca. which in the Indian
tongue means Bird Woman was
born in a little Indian village on the
banks of Snake river just west Of
the Bitter Root mountains, in what
is now tho state of Idaho. in 1890
When Sacajawea was nine years Of
age. her people, the Shosioncs. or
Snake River Indians. were suddenly
attacked by their foes, the Minnata-
rces of Knife river While SAGA
jaWea Nrs making her way alone
across the river she was caught and
taken prisoner. Later she was sold
as slave to Toussaint Chaboneau,
French half-breed wandercr, at
Brunswick. n. d. He married her
when she was fourteen years old.
Sacajawca and her husband, and
their papOose accompanied party
of white explorers, led by Lewis and
Clark, on a long journey.
One day the Indian girl risked her
own life to save some valuable
papers. maps. instruments, books,
magazines and medicine, when their
boat nearly capsized. Sacajawea
swan out and brought the articles
back to the boat in safety.
When the travellers reached the
land of Sacajawea's birth her pres
ence saved the white men from being
killed by the hostile Indians. SAGA
jawea also foiled a plot to steal all
of the horses of the expedition by
warning the leaders of the plans of
the Snake River tribe.

childhood, and where she later point

Slate Industry important

The slate industry, an important
source of roofing, black boards,
billiard table tops, and other more
or less essential products, labors
under a staggering handicap of
waste, states the Bureau of Mines,
which has completed a study of the
subject. According to Oliver Bow
les, mineral technologist of the bur-
eau, in most slate producing dis
tricts the waste averages 20 to 90
per cent of gross production. In
one quarry in Vermont an average
of IL tons of rock is removed for
each ton of good slate.
The term "slate" is applied to
fine grained rock that has a more or
less perfect cleavage. permitting it
to be readily split into thin. smooth
sheets. The term includes materials
differing widely in color and having
considerable range in chemical
and neurological composition. The
more common colors in slate are
gray, blush gray, and black. The
reds, various shades of green, and
variegated states are less common,
and purple is rare.
Slate makes such durable and at
tractive roofing that it's use should
be greatly encouraged. the Bureau
of Mines considers Furthermore, it's

industrial effort and it bears
close relationship to thrift. More
and more we are learning the diff
ference between charity and the
earned reward. Success. through
mutually Of effort. should bring a
corresponding mutually Of reward.
Such processes are constructive.
The earned dollar, so to speak,
means new wealth. But the do
mated dollar can be viewed only
from the standpoint Of charity.
1t is important in our Industrial
life that good service be regarded
by the employee in the light of
personal thrift.
Thrift Is progressive. The long.
er one practices it the more en-
joyable it becomes, and the more
satisfying are its benefits.
Loyalty and faithfulness Of ef-
fort, rightfully rewarded, produce
the same reactions.
There is no better type OF thrift
than complete cooperation be-

Fish Serves Many Purposes

Menhaden flsh. economically, IS
one of the most important fishes of
the United States. 1t is sometimes
called mossbunker. In colonial times
the Indian and the white settlers
used it as a fertilizer. These fish
approach the shore in immense
shoals. especially along the coast
from Maine to Florida. The aver
age size is about II inches Being
too bony and oily for the table. 1t is
used to large extent as bait for cod
and mackerel. Also many factories
extract the oil for tanning and cur
rying, and for adulterating other
more expensive oils. The refuse is
manufactured into guano.
