RUM DRINKING
ON INCREASE,
FIGURES SHOW
-Four Billion Quarts of Illegal
Booze Consumed in
u. S. Last Year
BY LARRY BOARDMAN
NEA Service Writer

Washington, June 4-Four billion
quarts of illicit liquor were con
sumed in the United States during
the past year.
This was an increase Of one billion
quarts over the Illicit liquor con
sumption of the year before.
The foregoing is not the estimate
Of either "Scofflaws" or Cellar
Smellers," vets or drys.
1t is based on figures compiled by
the IT, S. Department Of Commerce
totally disinterested so far as pro-
hbiton is concerned.
1t is, therefore, believed TO be the
first wholly unprejudiced estimate OF
Americas Illicit booze consumption
ever made.
