In ancient China there were

dog teams were unknown. as
the only large dogs were Chows.
and they were not able TO do
heavy work. So teams of pigs
We're hitched to small wagons.
The Chinese peddlers. on ap-

cords attached to the tails Of
the pigs; and squeals arose
that were heard for miles and
brought out the buyers.
The pigs throats were kept
well fabricated with glycerine
and sweetened water. in order
that the squeals or whistles"
might be powerful. That is
where the term "wetting the
whistle" originated
A Chinese pig always squeals
on the same note. Each pig
has It's own individual note
some pigs squeal at very low
pitch-others are very shrill.
Therefore, one ~nterprisinE

whole notes. and single notes.

he pulled one string at a time,
or several. Thus he was able
to play many Chinese tunes.
Anyone who has ever heard a

Will realize that this pig music
must have delighted the Chinese.
The Emperor heard of this
and invited Fur Long to the
palace. On the way, the team
was overtaken by a terrific
sleet storm. When Fur Long
brought his pigs before the
Emperor and pulled on the
strings, there arose the hoarsest
screeching ever heard in China.
His pigs had contracted
laryngitiS.
The Emperor burst into
laughter. Fur Long. mortified
and Inundated drove mis- pigs
to 4 nearby wood and slaugh-
tered them.
From that day he nourished
such a grudge against pigs that
he became a Pork Butcher. He
introduced many new pork
dishes i1to China: among them
"Ptyang- tong" or frank
furters, the recipe for which
Fur Long obtained from Egypt.

Enforcement Failure.
up to the present time prohibition
enforcement, not prohibition, has been
a failure. The turning point in the
tide has come with the appointment
of Gen. Andrews as chief of the Fed
eral prohibition enforcement depart
ment.
Everything that is bad in the coun-
try today is attributed to prohibition.
by means of direct assertion or impli-
cation. Whenever the compiler of the
statistical survey on prohibition has
TO face a fact which seems TO favor
prohibition. however, such as the an

the issue by saying that this is a
