INDIANS WILL VOTE
IN COMING ELECTION
Thousands of Nations Wards
Made Citizens With Passage
By Congress of Recent Act

WASHINGTON, July 12.-(By
Associated Press.) Provided the
various states that embrace their
reservations will set up the neces-
sary machinery, thousands of In
dams will become voters in the
coming elections as a result of the
Citizenship Act passed at the re-

However, this condition is b.
ieyed by authorities on the sub

to the newly enfranchised Indians

mentioned being the lack of organ

Not only the Indians in the par

but even white citizens living or

HIGHWAYS BIG AID
IN STATES GROWTH
Prosperity of Georgia Depend
emf on Complete System of
Good Roads

ATLANTA, July 1.-THE fu-
ture of Georgia, in the opinion Of
lawmakers, business men, manufac-
turers and leading citizens general
ly, as shown by interviews obtained
here today, absolutely depends up
on the building and maintenance
of a complete system of good roads.
mo matter what they cost and
no matter how deeply they may
plunge us in debt-though the bond
issue plan is well taken care of by
change in the gasoline tax-we
must have good, hard surfaced
roads" said one prominent law
maker discussing the subject, with
out good roads, the best we can get,
Georgia will go into the discard, so
to speak, and with good roads We
are destined to be one Of the great
states of the Union"
Travelling salesman here who have
travelled over many miles of Geor-
gia roads point to the fact that those
communities where good roads are
maintained are blossomipg like the
rose and those sections where the
people take no pride in their roads,
perhaps, due to lack Of funds, are
positively falling into decay, it was
claimed.
Advocates of a bond issue here
assert that the only cost to issuing
bonds is the interest and even then
under the proposed plan of chang
ing the gasoline tax, it represents
no extra cost to the tax payer.
Present day, hard surface, paved
roads, it is claimed, can be properly
maintained at less than a third the
cost of dirt roads, and will last in
definitely, returning, bond advo.
Gates declare, an actually cash saw
ing that during the life of the bonds
will amount to between thirty and
fifty million dollars in cash
enough absolutely, it is claimed, to
offset the charges in interest.

PEDDLERS or HOOTCH
81 Y IN TRAF Ticking
Bootleggers and Storers Use
Novel and Devious Means to
Evade Law

ATLANTA, July ibid you
notice that fellow going down the
street carrying a large package OF
inner tube boxes for automobiles!
Never suspected, did you that each
one OF those innocent looking pack
ages contained quart bottle OF
good red liquor-and that the mss-
senger was regular bootlegger!
Well those boxes were merely the
latest devices chosen by the viola
tors of the national prohibition law
to conduct their illicit trade.
Another means Of transportation
Just recently discovered is through
the use of milk bottles which have
thick white glass, giving the ap-
pearance of milk-but containing
the best moonshine liquor.
Still another means of hiding the
liquor in process of transportation
so common in Atlanta is through a
false back in an automobile. This
is generally found in the one seat
ed car, where the back of the seat
may havest to be removed in order
to discover the secret compartment
where the whiskey is stored.
A novel way of conveying the
forbidden drink was brought to light
when a federal officers curiosity
was aroused by the high rubber
boots worn by negro boy who was
engaged in washing automobiles at
a local garage. On searching the
boy it was found that he had several
pint bottles stuck in his boots.
Local officers have many inter-
esting experiences in detecting the
places where violators conceal their
loquor. One of the most complicat-
ed and artistic devices used is
double gasoline tank. The boot
logger dismounts from his car, an
screws the lid of the pipe leading
to the gasoline tank, and is APP
PdreHlly Illllng or emptylng the
gasoline when in reality by merely
inserting a second tube, he has made
connection with an inner. tanl; in
which several gallons of whiskey
are concealed, and which he may
draw out at pleasure.
If the professional bootleggers
are ingenious in devising means OF
hiding, the officers of the law ere
equally clever in ferreting out their
hidden treasure and so the chase
goes merrily on until the last drop
has been drunk, and the last place
Of concealment has been barred to
the public eye.
