HOW 1T STARTED
Mountain Dew" and Moon
shine"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

The nick name Mountain Dew" for
Illicit liquor may crop out in speech
more frequently now than 1t did for
merly, but II Is by no means a prod
uct OF prohibition days. Long before
the advent OF Mr.. Volstesds innova-
tion. liquor illegally distilled and sold
was called Mountain Dew" The oh.
viously humorous reference was. Of
course. TO the highland districts which
housed hidden distilleries. but in Scot
land whose hills have Of yore been
no less wei dotted with revenue
evadins stills than our own Kentucky
or Tennessee.
AS matter of fact the term Noun
tain Dew" is not an America nisu. but
product Of Scotch familiarity with
moonshine liquor and Scotch pictur-
esqueness of speech.
"Moonshine. however. is native to
our shores-or rather. our mountains.
In its syllables we have the story Of
The traditional conflict between the
"revenuer" and the mountaineers Of
half a dozen States along the Appa-
lachian Mountain Range. The real
beginning of this conflict would date
from the passage of The Alexa nder
Hamilton excise law Of 1871. and it In
still going on. II rested. prior TO pro
hibition, on the fact that the unpro-
ductivity OF the soil and the absence
OF variety OF possible occupations in
those mountain districts made the
ma nufa cture OF whisky from the sea mt
harvests of corn the most advanta-
geous occupation. II subjected 10 the
high Federal tax. however, it beca me
a less profitable resource. So The
mountaineer looked upon the Govern
ment agent as an invader Of his
rights and his natural enemy. And
"moonshining had to be pursued
under cover NJ night to avoid detec.
ton.

MY Neighbor Says:

All vegetables should be put
on to cook in boiling water.
This holds the major portion OF
the mineral matter and starch
within.
When preserving fruits and
vegetables. don't pack the Jars
TOO tight. Leave a space of one
half inch AT the top OF each jar
for liquid. Heat may then trav.
el through the product without
difficulty
When preparing bread crumbs
for esCalloped dishes. croquetJes.
etc. tie cloth or paper bag
over the mouth of the meat
grinder and put the bread in.
When the grinder is turned the
crumbs will then be deposited in
the bag instead of being scat
tered over the floor.
Rocking chairs like to travel.
To prevent this. glue narrow
strip of velvet on the part of
rocker touching the floor.
If you place lemons in the
oven before using them. heat
them thoroughly and roll with
the hand until they are soft:
you viii not only get twice as
much juice as when they are
cold. but there is a flavor which
cold lemon never possesses.

JACK EASILY REPLACED.
Garage Worker Finds Way to Pre-

When one or more wheels must b.
removed, and the car is supported OF
a Jack, there is always an element or
danger present, in that a bump
against the car, or by pulling hard
on a wrench. the Jack viii sometimes
be pulled over.
b. The presence of the jack also
proves a hindrauce at times, making
il inconvenient 20 remove certain
parts. In order to overcome these
difficulties, one garage worker pro-
vided a number of hooks, which he
used to suspend the car whila the
work was being done. The hook was
formed OF heavy fat stock and fas-,
tened 10 the wall by means Of cleatS,
which permitted the hook to be lifted
out, the cleats remaining IN position
e In this manner the hook may read

car is raised on q Jack TO the re

The removal OF the jack leaves one
end of the car free OF the foor and

Boiling Radiators
Just as Dangerous
Winter or Summer

Every year some nlotoiist rediscovers
the fact that since alcohol In the cooling
system lowers the boiling point. steam
from radiator on a very cold day does
not necessarily mean that the engine is
very hot. And every year II is necessary
to point out the failacy OF thinking that
boiling over in the Winter does not
cause as much damage as boiling over
in Summer.
1t isn't the heat that does the damage
90 much as the steam. Usually driver
stops when his radiator steafns in Sum
mer, and az consequence the engine
proper seldom gets hot enough TO in
jure the vital parts. But any steam!ns,
Summer or Winter, means injury to the
radiator and the cooling system, which,
indirectly, may reeuit in serious injury
to the engine.
Steam is steam, whether IL is gen
Grated at a lower or higher boiling point
