Builders Of Speed Boats Plan
TO Provide SmuggIers With
5o-MiIe-an-Hour Graft

By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH.
The Government hopes to crush
the Rum Trusts sea and land
organizations before winter, it
was learned at the Treasury today.
Officials declared that the hea-
vier coast guard craft must be
withdraw from law enforcement
activities late in October for the
winters campaign of navigation
protection both on the Atlantic
and Pacific. Virtually all the
cutters now on the rum patrol
viii be transferred to life and
property work on the steamer
lanes.
Regular Service Neglected.
Insistent demand has been made
on Congressional representatives
from San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Seattle, Hawaii and coastwide cities
from New York to Maine that the
coast guard be given facilities for
more adequate protection OF the
steamer lanes during the coming
Writer.
1t was charged that in the in
tensive war against rum. with de.
failing OF most of the coast guard
equipment to this phase OF law
enforcement. the normal navigation
service has been neglected.
Congressional leaders, who be.
lieve that six cutters must be added
10 coast guard facilities, declared
that some cutters engaged in this
service are not seaworthy.
They pointed out that lives Of
the crew are endangered and that
the cutters are unsafe for operation
In heavy gales.
No demand for increase in the
law enforcement fleet is anticipated
during the budget hearings which
start early in the fall. but it was
expected that the Treasury would
recommend the building of several
new cutters to : take the place OF
those Summarized during the war
or strapped since.
Estimates Of Needs.
Six cutters lost a. result OF war
service were replaced with old
Shipping Board tugs and destroyersl
regarded as unsatisfactory for. life
saving work.
The estimate for the Coast Guard
In 1895 il $50 .0N0, 900, compared to
e3s 200, 900 for 1875.
The appropriation does not con-
template building OF new cutters,
which cost from 100000 to ST.
600. 900 each.
Coast Guard officials declined to
discuss probable Recommendation
for new equipment explaining that
b thorough test OF tho present IA
eilities must be made.
They do not anticipate that the
present campaign agsinst rum run
ners will drive them permanently
from this profitable field since the
omugglers have the entire coast on
which to operate.
To meet the employment of high
speed launches for moving rum to
shore the Coast Guard Is making px-
periments on boats which will make
fifty miles an hour: Only limited
funds are available for the expert
ments.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
which are being invested by private
individuals on the development of
speed boats which can outrun ex-
press trains indicate. that they will
be used more extensively than ever
by the rum runners, officials said.

 3. Chairman of the Bureau of Sci ence and Tecqnique.
 4. Chairman of the Committee for speeding up industry.

 Meanwhile, Trotzky is saving wood in the various backyards assigned to his attention.

The employees drink less tea and do more work than they had done since the revolution. His three secretaries on this job alone are literally worn out in the effort to keep up with their chief.
 As head of the State Electric Trust, Trotzky was surprised to ttnd his first session with the board of mana gers devoted to consideration of the vast, technical problem of how to pre- vent the peasants from stealing the wires.

Bad Backs Bring Suffering to Many
 Seward Folks.
 Is that dull, constant backache making you old and miserable? Does your back throb and ache until it seems you just can't keep going? Do you suffer headaches, dizzy spells and urinary disorders; feel weak, tired and worn-out? Then look to your kidneys. Delay may mean seri- ous kidney sickness! Use Doan's Pills-a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys. Doan's are recommended by thousands.
 Claude Nutter, s. 3rd St, Monte sano, Wash, says: "The hardships which I endured in the woods is what affected my kidneys and caused kidney complaint. I had severe catches in my back when I got down. My kidneys acted too often annoy ing me at night. I always used Doan's Pills at these times and they knocked the pain out of my back and put my kidneys in a healthy condi- tion."

Displacement of the horse-drawn
vehicles started in 1908 when the
Union put it's first shaky automo-
bile in service. In 1910 the first
truck was introduced. The tran
sition during the next seven years,
however, was gradual, and it was
not until 1917 that motor vehicles
really jumped into the lead with
five hundred in the service to some
three hundred horses and wagons.
Two years later the number of
horses was reduced to seventy, and
the following year practically all
of these, too, were disposed of.
During the past four years, a few
stray holdovers have been retained,
but now the last of these has pass
ed on to horse heaven, and the
sales department is an all-motor
organization. In a few of the
mountain field districts where wells
are being drilled, horses are still
an occasional and invaluable aid
to oil operations, but as regular
employees they have passed out OF
the petroleum picture.

The death of an aged horse at
one of the rural branches of the
Union Oil company last week mark
ed the final and complete downfall
of old Dobbin as a medium of
transportation in this company.
Figures on motor transportation
of the Union are an interesting
commentary both on the relative
value of the petroleum industry to
the automotive business and the
astounding development of motor
vehicles in recent years.
From the peak of the horse
drawn era in 1915, when the COM
pany's deliveries were made by
four hundred horses and three
hundred wagons, assisted by two
hundred and fifty trucks and autos,
the beginning of 1925 saw more
than 1900 trucks and automobiles
and 100 traHers in the Union Oil
service.
Fourteen hundred of the COM
pany's motor vehicles are in the
sales department, the field, refin-
cries, pipe line and engineering
divisions having the balance.

THE WINSLOW MAIL
AT LAST FALLS FOR
POPULAR PUZZLES

We tried just as hard as we
could to ward off the crossword
puzzle fever, but our vaccination
didn't take, and we have at last
succumbed. Too many subscribers
have brought pressure to bear on
the editorial staff to insert each
week one of the vocabulary-test-
ing stunts, so herewith The Mail
submits the first of a series. The
initial puzzle is an easy one, but
not too easy. 1t has mostly COM
mon words, none longer than five
letters, and the interlocking is suf-
ficient to make the progress of the
solution interesting.
Each week, or as long as inter-
est is maintained, The Mail will run
a crossword puzzle, to be follow
ed the next week with the publi-
cation of the solution. Most peo-
pie are familiar with the process
of solving these popular puzzles,
therefore no rules are printed with
this first one to appear in this
paper.
Just to make it worth your while
we will give years subscription,

VILLAGES FOUND
UNATTRACTIVE In
FEDERAL REPORT

Nearly 20,OOO,OOO people in the
United States, or about one-fifth
Of the population, live in villages,
and 30,000,000 farming people use
these villages for purposes of busi-
ness, education, religion, health,
and social well-being. Yet these
centers of rural population are
usually unattractive and often very
ugly. Villages in other countries
are generally much superior to
those of the United States in de-
sign, in the character of their
streets and public buildings, and
in their approaches and recreation
spots. A start, however, has been
made toward beautifying the Amer
lean village.
Some examples of leadership in
this respect are recorded by the
department. of agriculture, which
has been studying the problem of
village planning from the stand
point of it's Importance to the rural
community and particularly to the
former. y.
1t is more as a buying than as a
selling place that the farmer makes
use of the village. In marketing
his principal products he generally
deals with some large distributing
center. But he purchases his house
hold supplies in the village He
goes there for amusement and for
social purposes generally. His
children often go to school there.
An attractive village, says the de-
partment, is an important influence
in stablizing farm life and in
counteracting the attractions which
cities have for the young people
of the farms. AS the farmers
chief point of contact with outside
interests, the village can make. a
big contribution to the happiness
of farm life, even if it be considered
from no other standpoint that the
fact that it is the place where the
farmer spends a large part of his
income.
Where villages are being made
more beautiful, the impetus has
come in nearly every case from
local initiative. Villages that H~'-0
well-planned streets,
creation spots, and pleasing ap-
proaches are nearly always in
debted for these advantages to the
energy and public spirit of some
small group of citizens. Under
such inspiration dump heaps have
been turned into garden spots, un-
slightly shacks and dilapidated
stores have been torn down and re-
placed by smart, substantial busi-
ness buildings, and extensive pro-
grams of landscape gardening and
tree planting have been undertake
en-. Villages that have embarked
