MILWAUKEE, Aug. II. -
Airplane bootleggers. running
liquor from Canada to points
near Miles Center, ILL.,, just
north Of Chicago, are flying over
the western section of Milwau-
kee three or four times a week.
Government agents who have
been attempting to trace the
bootlegging aviators, are said to
have failed because landing
places are changed continuously
and the planes have proved too
speedy for ecen the fastest auto
mobiles in the prohibition SER

The air rum runners are re-
ported to leave Canada after
dark and time their landing to
arrive in the early morning
when there is just sufficient
light for a safe landing.

base diagnosed the cases as diphtheria.

DIR. r. l.. Vance was hurried to the
place in a F-5.L machine, piloted by
Lieut.. c. +. Simard. He carried
$4,000 units of anti-toXin with him.
When he arrived at Hatteras he found

of the houses. lie used all of the
anti-toXin and sent a radio to Norfolk
for a second supply. A second ma
chine, manned by Lieut.. F. A. Davis,
was dispatched to the place with a
second doctor who carried 900
units of the anti-toXin.
More than SO people were given an
injection of the fluid. Mary johnson,
five years old, died soon after the
doctors arrived. She had been i'll
five days with what was thought to
be tonsilitis.
Assistance has been asked for from
the mainland, which is 80 miles
away from the little village. There is
no doctor at the place where the
diphtheria epidemic is raging, but DIR.
Vance says he does not anticipate
more than three more deaths from
the malady.
He says the anti-toxin was admin
istered just in time to save the lives
of many children. Hatteras Village

principally of fishermen, coast
