WISE bREWERS
KNOW WHEN
To BOTTLE
Dry Agents Say Green
Beer Responsible for
Many "Riot" Calls.

It's a wise bootlegger who knows
precisely when to bottle.
And it's fortunate customer who
can detect this wisdom, federal pro-
hibition officers agree.
The bootlegger saves his profits and
the customer his digestive organs.
The dry agents know, for they have to
pass judgment on brew of every de-
scription, daily. It's their job.
Home brew, bottled too soon, Off
GERS have found, is the cause of many
police "riot" calls which explode
when they discover it's only exploding
beer. Sometimes, even the bootlegger
is injured. Often the officers them
selves are victims. when they attempt
to destroy the contraband.
BOTTLED TOO LATE.
On the other hand, scores of bottles
of the iced beverage have been left
untouched because it was flat-it had
Deen DOTTED 100 late.
The bubbling stage, after cooking
and when the beer has been allowed to
set for few hours, is the proper time
to get the siphon and cappers into ac-
ton, according to a member of the To-
cal prohibition force. This agent once
acted as brewer for the government
in obtaining evidence which resulted
in the conviction of man in Dallas
who was selling materials and recipes
for the making beer.
BAD ON CONSTITUTION.
Some home brew has worse effect
on and damages a persons constitu-
ton more than raw corn whiskey, the
prohibition men said.
This kind of beer is made more
generally by the bootlegger who sells
to transient trade, and does not care
particularly whether the man returns
a second time or not.
When a man making this kind of
beer is arrested, the agents find that
he is not cooking the product, as do
the better home brewers.
YIELDS MORE PROFIT.
Recent instances of where an i'm
biber who partook of uncooked beer
which had not been allowed to fer
ment properly awoke the morning af
ter" frothing at the mouth, have
come to the attention of prohibition
men.
Beer bottled in too early a stage
will explode if left in a warm place,
and frequently the warmth radiated
by an agents hand has caused bottles
to explode as they started to break
them.
The more INSCRIPTIONS the bootleg
ger, the higher his rate of profit on
his product. Fifty bottles of near
poisonous home brew destroyed few
days ago by dry officers were to have
yielded the maker $1,000 on a $1.50
investment, the raiders were told.

bADNEN REALLY
GOOD, Says
ONE Who
KNOWS
Cap'n Brown Has Friendly
Word for Those Who
Come to Evil Ways.

Have you ever wondered whether
bad men" are really bad?
They aren't, says Captain John
Brown of the San Antonio police;
never all bad, no matter how bad they
may be. For So years "Cap'n" Brown
has handled all manner of bad men,
and he still believes that no man lives
whose heart doesn't hold its share of
good.
There Is a world of men who live
where the daylight never shines; some
of them in the gloom of prison cells,
wearing the stripes of those who are
branded for sin. Others who dodge
the revealing sunlight of life by living
like rats in underworld haunts and
dives. Bad men," these
A GENEROUS CLAN.
"Yet when we find a girl who is
stranded and helpless, without money
enough to so home-perhaps in some
kind of trouble-it is the big-hearted
horde of the underworld that helps
Captain Brown said. When the low
est, hardest criminal is called on to
help pal. he never says no. He will
give his last dime to friend.-
Big-heartedness isn't the only vir-
tue the criminal has, according to
Captain Brown. He is loyal and Of
ten devoid of fear. He is human and
malleable, like the rest of us. But
his contact with crime has naturally
left scars-oftenest the scars of weak
ness, of cowardice, of shattered nerves.
He fears, and fearing, kills and robs
and breaks the laws. 1t is his idea
of getting by Life may have forced
him into the gutter. There he lives
the gutter life.
WEAKNESS CAUSES CRIME.
"The weakling-ignorant of right
and wrong, or of his obligation to 50,
ciety-fears starvation-he therefore
steals. He fears his neighbor-and
kills." said Captain Brown. This
weakness is oftenest the worst quality
Of a bad man. 1t is the trait that
most sharply contrasts the bad man
with the good man. The war caused
and increased this moral fear, hence
has increased crime. Through this
worst weakness any good man may
lose control of his nerves and i'm
pulses. And when he does he be-
comes what we call a bad man, who
has transgressed."
The pursuit of happiness is per
haps the greatest single cause of bad
men," Captain Brown believes. Each
man seeks pleasure in different way.
In his search he is never satisfied.
His quest leads to murder, arson, en-
bezzlement, forgery. 1t leads to drugs
and to Jail.
ESSENTIALLY GOOD.
Home influence and a child's en-
vironment is the determining factor
that makes US bad or good" Captain
Brown declared. "Those OF US who

PARIS. April 16.-The radical-so-
cialist group in the chamber OF
deputies, of which Edouard Herriot
is leader, today endorsed Joseph Call
laux as prospective minister OF
finance in the cabinet which Paul
Painleve is forming.
Caillaux asked the radical-socialists
for an expression of confidence and
when this was granted, announced
formally his acceptance of the
finance post.
Painleve expects to have his
cabinet completed late tonight.
First mention OF Caillaux, former
premier. caused a furore. During the
war he barely escaped firing squad
for alleged treason and was exiled
for trafficking with the enemy.
AS an indication Of the passion
aroused by Caillaux's return to Of
fetal life was given by the arrest of
young man who was observed
acting suspiciously around the
Quai D'Orsay this morning. The
youth proved to be insane. but had
a revolver in his possession and
when questioned said:
''I came to kill Caillaux."
The young man was lodged in an
infirmary.
