FEDERAL JUDGE
HITS VIOLATORS
OF LIQUOR LAW

TUCSON, Jan. 8 tH9-The VoIstead
act is inadequate in the prosecution
of the more flagrant cases Of liquor
violation, Judge William H. SaWtelle,
told a. newly convened grand jury
in United States district court today.
In cases where offenders are ac :
-cused OF trafficking in Illicit liquor on
a large scale, the old internal revenue
law, which has recently been revived
in federal liquor prosecutions, should
be employed, the court declared, as
it provides heavier punishments. M
"They have used garbage cans and
galvanized iron vessels in which to
make liquor" declared Judge Saw
telle, and people not knowing, this,
drink the stuff It blinds some of
them and i'll other cases the result
has proved fatal. There are those
who sell poisonous liquor under spur
ious labels and there is a label to
fit any kind.
II have no sympathy for these men
who are willing to blind ana kill
people to get the almighty dollar"
Judge SaWtelle declared that by
the use of the internal revenue law
alone, could authorities hope to stop
Illegal manufacture OF liquor.

EYE WITNESSES
TELL STORY OF
SUB DISASTER

BOSTON, Jan. 9 GA picture OF
the collision that drove the submarine
S-4 to the bottom OF the Province
town harbor on December II, was
painted today for the naval court
of inquiry investigating, the disaster
by two eye witnesses They were
Lieutenant Commander John S. Bay
liss, commander OF the coast guard
destroyer Paulding, which rammed
the submarine and Ensign F. M.
Phannemiller, officer OF the deck on
the Paulding.
In closing his description of the
crash, with its terrible grinding and
ripping OF metal which tore the
bottom out OF the Paulding back
of her stem, and wrecked the hapless
Sd, Commander Bayliss closed his
testimony with an address to the
court in which he referred to the
irony of his position as coast guard
officer concerned in a disastrous
collision.
"I feel deeply concerned over this
accident, as my whole life has been
devoted to saving life and property
at sea-" he said. when a thing OF
this kind happens, the first in my
experience, 1 cannot help but feel
it deeply"
Ensign Phannemiller, the first man
on board the destroyer to sight the
periscope of the submarine cleaving
the water as the Paulding rounded
the buoy marking the outer end OF
the measured mile OF the Province
town trial range, reconstructed the
accident using wooden models OF the
two vessels involved.

TARIFF ISSUE

WASHINGTON JAn. 9 R)-- Inform

President Coolidge in defending the
high rates of the present act against
the attacks from farm bloc republicans

Gratis, who listened with obvious joy to
the republicans quarreling over the
tariff.

HIGHWAY PLAN
OF ASSOCIATION

CLEVELAND, Jan. 9 Good
roads from Canada to Chile. in the
greatest highway project ever planned
by world engineers, will do more to
establish friendly, relations between
nations OF the western hemisphere.
than the combined strength OF the
worlds greatest armies, Jose Rivera,
secretary of the official Mexican
delegation to the American Road
Builders association, said here today.
Latin American delegates attending
the convention backed Senor. Rivera's
opinion that scores of m1sconceived
ideas on life and habits in the nations
to the south will be wiped out with
the completion OF the great inter-
national highway.
They visioned new era OF lasting
peace and prosperity with the COM
pletion of a trunk highway to extend
from Montreal, Canada, through De-
troit, Mich, to Laredo Texas, Mexico
City, Guatemala, Panama, Colombia,
Peru and Valparaiso. Chile, on the
west coast of South America.
Antonio Madrazo, head of the
Mexican delegation, said the first
link of the highway from Laredo,
Texas, to Mexico City and Guatemala
would be completed and open to
American tourists in the summer OF
1929.
Delegates from Latin American
countries will spend most OF the week
in conference here to complete plans
for further extensions.
The project may not be completed
for score OF years, with ten years
given as a conservative estimate be-
fore the highway is extended into
South American territory.
While the PAN American delegates
we're conferring on their problems
county highway officials elected T. j..
Wasser, supervising engineer, Hudson
county, N. j., as president OF a newly
formed division OF the American
Roadbuilders association.
Believing that cooperation between
the more than 5000 counties in the
United States is the most important
factor in planning great system
of good roads, the. county officials
have formed a separate division to
consider their peculiar problems.
Their meeting today was the first
under the new organization.

WHEAT KEEPS QUALITY
EVEN WHEN CUT LATE

Contrary to prevalent opinion,
wheat-of the turkey red type at least
does not deteriorate in quality upon
standing uncut in the field and being
subjected to alternate wetting and
drying. Bread made from such wheat
showed no indication of inferiority
as determined by loaf volume and loaf
texture.
The foregoing statement is made by
A. F. Bracken of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station of Utah and C. H.
Bailey of the Minnesota station, Uni
versity Farm, St. Paul. The state
ment is based upon experiments car
ried on to meet a situation which has
grown out of the use of the combine
harvester-thresher.
This machine is not used with the
greatest success unless the grains
have become thoroughly dried before
harvesting. Very frequently grains to
be harvested by the use of the COM
bine are allowed to stand much later
than they would otherwise. They are,
therefore, subjected to frequent wet
ting and drying. This often results
in bleaching and in reduction Of
weight per bushel. Consequently,
wheat dealers seek to protect them
selves by dfscounting the price.
The result of the experiments indi-
cate that such discounts are not war
ranted on the basis of the baking
quality of the grains.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. Strauss

The story recently was told of a
new idea in religious philanthropy.
In the cornerstone of a new church
of the organization placed a savings
certificate of deposit. The amount
of the deposit and interest rate were
not made public.
1t is interesting to note what this
certificate will do for the future of
that church organization. 1t is with
in the bounds of reason to assume that
the certificate of deposit will provide
at least the major part of the cost of
erecting a new church when the one
now being built shall have outlived
it's days of usefulness.
A good way of visualizing lesson
in thrift is to make calculations re-
garding the future value of that saw
ings bank certificate.
Even if the amount is only $1,000
and it carries 4 per cent interest COM
pounded semi-annually, it will very
nearly double itself within Is years,
for it's value at the end of that period
will be $1,S11.36. By the end of 20
years, it will have increased more
than % times, the amount being
$2,2OS.O4.
Let US assume, however, that the
certificate at the time of it's deposit
represented cash deposit of $4,000.
If it is allowed to remain in the box
for Is years, drawing per cent COM
pounded semi-annually, it would
amount to exactly $45,2S4, while, at
the end of 20 years it will have
reached the sum of $55,201.
But it may be considered not beyond
reason that the church would stand
for so years. In that case, if the
amount of the certificate of deposit
had been $4,000, it would at the end
of the 5O-year period have a value of
$1S1, 117.50.
These figures are eloquent in their
tribute to the power of compound in
terest.
