STATES Drive
FOR Pure MILK
MEETS SUCCESS

Indiana is forging ahead steadily
in it's campaign for pure milk, &C
cording to F. G. Wilson, State board
of health milk inspector.
Wilson declared that milk SANTA
ton was more complete at the pres
ent time than at any period in the
States history.
Commenting upon reports that
the Illinois board of health was 60
ing to use an up-to-date, motor
drawn laboratory to make milk in
pections in various parts of the
State, Wilson said:
'"I can only commend this move
by the Illinois board to check up
on the diaries of the State, but in
fairness to Indiana I wish to point
out that this State had such a
travelling chemical and bacteria
logical laboratory as far back as
1921.
In 1923, according to Wilson, de-
mands upon the travelling laboratory
became so numerous that it was
impossible to take care of them.
1--WE were overwhelmed with in
spection requests" he declared. $50
we decided to bring our equipment
back to Indianapolis and establish
centralized laboratory.
1--WE purchased the best possible
testing equipment and installed it
at the food and drug laboratories
at the Statehouse."
Since 1923, he explained, the de-
partment has kept a close check on
conditions throughout the State, sam
pies of milk being sent from every
Indiana community by board of
health inspectors and tested chemi-
cally and bacteriologically at the
Indianapolis office.
"Of course, where local health Of
ficers are active, we depend upon
them to watch their diaries. In this
manner we have made it almost i'm
possible to obtain impure or con-
taminated milk from Indiana
dairies" Wilson said,

ana now III sugar AlKy.
Harassed prohibition agents all
but exhausted running down the
myriad moonshine products have
new one to cope with. according
to Indiana Federal Dry Chief
George L. Winkler.
The new potion is sugar alky.
Corn liquor distillers have turned
from the fields of ripening ears to
the manufacture of alcohol from
sugar because of the larger profits
from the product, Winkler said.
A special study of the new situa-
ton is being made by dry sleuths,
already considerable quantities of
sugar alky having reached bootleg
ging channels and a number of
sugar alcohol stills set up in the
middle West, according to Winkler.
Rum runners are seeking chem
lists throughout the country who
can find a method to remove the
unpalatable aldehol in denatured al
cohol. Dry agents report that near
ly every chemist in New York City
has been approached by bootlegger
representatives.

Postal Inspector Tells How
Mail Bandits Were
TraiIed.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, June 27.-The
extent to which the Government
went to apprehend the D'Autremont
brothers was revealed today by
Postal Inspector Grant B. Miller.
Miller said the postoffice depart
ment sent out more than 100000
circulars to locate the brothers,
charged with dynamiting mail
train at Siskiyou, oregon, in Octo-
Der, 1923. In the robbery one mail
clerk was killed by the explosion
and three more of the train crew
shot.
In Six Languages
The circulars all bore excellent
photographs and detailed descrip-
tons of the trio. UP to the time the
youngest brother, Hugh, was ar
rested in Manila Feb. II, the depart
nent had sent out 2,144,000 in Eng
fish, 215,000 in Spanish, $4,000 in
French, $4,000 in German, $4,000 in
Portuguese and 10000 in Dutch.
A soldier returning from the
Philippines was struck with the re-
semblance to a soldier in his regi-
ment, and told the department in
San Francisco of his suspicious. An
inspector sent to Manila arrested
Hugh D'Autremont two weeks later.
With the work of detection but
one-third finished the government
did not quit.
Stick to Trail
II had $4,000 special posters of the
two remaining brothers prepared
and sent to every postmaster in the
United States with instructions to
display them prominently" Miller
said.
Miller said that displaying of one
of these posters at Steubenville,
Ohio, led to the arrest and confess
sion of Ray and Roy D'Autremont,
twin brothers, two weeks ago.
At the time of their arrest Postal
Inspector G. w. Long was in Jack
sonville, Oregon, arranging for the
trial of the younger brother. =
Long drove Is miles by auto in
IL minutes to catch train for
Sacramento, talked to me by long
distance telephone from there Fri
day morning, reached Cleveland by
airplane Saturday morning and was
talking to, the prisoners in Columbus
