Why does varnish turn white?
Usually it is due to a lack of oil
and an inferior grade of gum or
Sosin in it's composition which causes
whitening when exposed to strong
sunlight or mpisture.

EX-CONV|CTSO ON
DRY PAY ROLL
BY BRYANT HARBERT
International News Service

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April g.
Practice OF the Federal prohibition
department in Ohio in employing
ex-convicts to enforce the dry law
threatens to cause serious break
between the Federal department
and State officials.
Judge E. L. Porterfield. Federal
prohibition administrator for the
Ohio Michigan division, Is standing
by his guns and defending his en-.
forcement methods.
Sunday school teachers can't
catch bootleggers," he replied to his
critics. I'VE employ men who have
been in the bootlegging game be-
cause they know the business and
are better able to cope with the
rum runners"
States Attorney General Crabbe
and City Prosecutor Chester are
leading the fight against Porter
fields methods. There's not an
ex-criminal on the city vice squad
and they manage to bring in the
OFFENDERS is Chester's comment,
while the attorney general declares
that such q practice results in con-
tempt OF the law.
How can you expect an honest
citizen to have confidence in any
law when he knows its enforcement
Il In the hauds of an ex-criminal,
one who has violated the same law
which he is entrusted to enforce?"
The breach between opposing
factions reached near climax
when a Federal prohibition officer
and bootlegger engaged in a
gun battle, both being wounded.
Investigation revealed that the
prohibition officer was Sam Rosof<
sky, who has long police record
In the local courts and who has
been convicted OF the crime OF boot
logging.
Further investigation disclosed
that a paroled convict from the
State penitentiary had been carried
on the Federal enforcement pay
roll as an .informer" or stool
pigeon"
Porterfield admitted that former
criminals had been given employ
ment in his department and insisted
that their past connections fitted
them for the work OF experimenting
others In the same business.

School Lunches.

Mothers who are confronted with
the problem of arranging nourishing
appetizing lunches for their children
to carry to school every day, will be
interested in the plan described by
Miss C. Ethel Monroe, Advisory Nurse
of the State Department of Health,
and that is being followed in a num-
Der of schools with much success.
Every mother, every teacher and
every public health nurse knowns,"
Miss Monroe said, "that one of the
most effective ways of keeping the
children at their best, both as to
health and as to progress in school, is
through the warm, nourishing lunch
in the middle of the day. That and
the midday rest are absolute necessi-
ties for the first graders and the very
young children. But the warm lunch
is just as important for the older boys
and girls. The problem is how to go
about getting it for the children who
have to carry their lunch to school.

ers are following plan that was
first tried out in some other States
