OLD BILL SAYS

oil on reamer often has tend ency to make it cut undersize.
 If the hole should be undersize with a power reamer. it can be sized accu- rately with hand reamer.
 Talking about what you have done won't get you far in this or any other shop; let's see what you can do now.
 A hand reamer Is never intended to be run with power or to take heavy cut because it cuts only on the side.
 Modern methods demand modern equipment; the modern machinist must keep posted on the latest de- velopments in the trade.
 When roaming number of pieces always test the first hole to make sure that the reamer Is not cutting oversize.

RESIGNED DRY
LEADER HINTS
AT REVELATIONS
Actions Follow Charges of
Prisoner Torturing by
{ Federal Agent.

. NEW YORK, June 28.A"Startling
facts" in connection with the pro-
hibition situation were promised for
today by Prohibition Supervisor
Chester P. Mills.
Mills submitted his resignation,
accompanied by request for a
months leave Of abesnce, after he
was transferred from prohibition adj
ministrator for this district to east
ern zone supervisor-theoretically a
promotion. The transfer came i'm
mediately after suspension of Maj.
Augustus Heise, an assistant to
Mills, by Prohibition Commissioner
Doran at Washington.
Suspension Follows
Heise was suspended without pay
after it was charged that he bound
a towel around a prisoners head as
chinese method of punishment"
to obtain a dry law confession. The
victim, Albert Briggs, accused of
being a confederate in prohibit
ton graft conspiracy, charged he
also was beaten and kicked.
Mills defended Heise, asserting he
had not tortured the prisoner, but
only had threatened him in an at
tempt to obtain a confession.
Mills complained that the Wash
ington dry authorities had suspend
ed Heise without investigation or
trial on the unsubstantiated word
of man facing criminal trial.
Mills Criticized
Mills has been criticized repeated
ly during his term as prohibition
administrator. Representative La
Guardia (Rep), New York, carried
complaints against him to Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Lincoln

relative to air passenger service
Everyone spoke highly of the de-

"One day I walked into a Londor
