ems Chance Of Detection,
Authorities Say.

PHILADELPHIA, March 3.-The
community still, that which
makes for economy and the mini
MIXING of the chances of detection,
is the, most recent discovery of
prohibition authorities here.
The Community" still was de-
scribed by William j. Mcclure,
chief enforcement agent here, as
follows:
1T begins service at the end Of
q row of houses and passes from
house to house, day by day, until
the entire neighborhood has been
enabled to lay in q supply Of moon
shine liquor.
There have been occasions when
my agents have found mash, liquor
and apparatus essential to the OPP
Grafton of still in every house
along row, and by following the
trail have come upon the still in the
last house visited.
wives of men who have always
known the solace Of a little nip
now borrow nefghbor's still as
casually as they would pinch Of
sugar or three eggs.
why, just the other day an aged
woman arrested in downtown raid
admitted that it was far cheaper to
distill at home and, at the same
time it kept her spouse close to
the family hearth and far from the
saloon on the corner.
There Is another variety of still,
which might be termed father
still" Mcclure continued. 1T serves
to keep the 'speakeasies' in various
sections Of the city supplied with
moonshine liquor. It is gigantic
affair, often of 200 or 300 gallon
capacity, and it works all day and
far into the night. And / might
say that no section of the city, in
this respect, is worse than another.
Each has its speakeasies and each
has its source of supply. One
father still, we recently discovered,
engaged the service of three men,
working twenty-four hours in three
eight-hour shifts"
Mcclure pointed out that the ac-
tivIties of the agents in the last
month, when 157 raids were made
and fifty-seven stills and thousands
of gallons of liquor were seized, es
tablished a new record for the
State. The stills were of every
variety and ranged in capacity
from five to 200 gallons. The Off.
cials estimated the individual out
put as forty gallons daily.

RAIL ROADS WILL
GUT RATE FOR
SHR|NERs
Special Fare Reduction Prom
ised BY Big Systems From
All Points.

Every railroad line in the coun-
try will cooperate with the Almas
Temple 1923 Shrine Committee in
making a success of the Imperial
Council session here in June, ac-
cording to word received today by
the executive committee.
Fare-andsa-half rates, or IS per
cent of the normal rates, will be
granted on direct routes from any
part Of the nation to Washington
and return over the same route,
according to pledges made by the
various trunk line associations.
The Southern Trunk Line Asso.
citation, representing railroads
south of the Ohio and east of the
Mississippi, has offered, in addition
route rate of 82h per cent, with
round trip tickets good. for the
entire month of June. These tick.
cts will be put on sale May 81.
The Northern Association, while
granting the fare-and-a-half, has
permitted no variable fare rate. II
will allow but fifteen days on round
trip tickets east of Chicago, from
June / TO Is, and will extend ia
the full thirty days all tickets west
of Chicago.
In addition the Northern lines
will offer s special excursion rate
over variable routes, good for q
period of sixty. days. These tickets
will average less in price than the
fare -and-a-half, 1t Is understood.
The fight to secure these special
rates has been conducted by the
Almas Temple committee since its
organization. The committee will
make every effort to have the fit
teen-day limit east of Chicago ex
tended to thirty days.

John d. Rockefeller, jr., will not
be required by the Treasury De
partment to pay taxes or duty
upon his purchase of the famous
ROchefocuald tapestries, it was said
by Treasury officials today.
Even il the sale oflthe six panels,

Ter can be forced to pay taxes, it

Officials said the salesman,
Edouarde Lacarde, Partisan art
dealer, also will escape tax liability.
The Treasury Department said
the revenue law of 1921 repealed a
section of the law of 1918 providing
a tax on tapestry sales. Customs
officials explained that probably it
would be impossible to collect a
tariff duty on the imported tapes
