WOULD TEACH MEN \ ID BE HOUSEWIVES
Home Economies to Be Taught
 in Public Schools

Springfield. H., Sept. 25 UP)- Mans ability to manage q home is just as important to the success of his domestic life as "brngins homo the bacon" according to Miss Adah II. Hess, state supervisor of homo economics taught in Illinois public schools.
 And because of this philosophy Miss Hess is pushing plans for ex- pansion of the teaching of nome appreciation to boys classes in various high schools of tho state.
 The 'homc appreciation" course takes in all phases necessary in the care of q home and includes cook ing, sewing, eating manners, how to dress and how to talk.
 There is nothing effeminatc about the idea" said Miss Hess, and reg ular hebOys take to the course easily. It doesn't mean We want to train boys 10 be hOusekcepors when they become husbands and fathers and let the wives go to work. Far from that.
 So many homes would not go on the rocks as at present if the hus- band had been trained as a boy to the responsibility of q homcmaker.
 To Learn Home Costs
 Take the matter of financial up keep. Few men know little about how much money is needed 10 run d house. We're trying to teach the boys from the standpoint that they are going 10 be husbands and fathers some day, not from the standpoint that they are going to be house. keepers"
 Home making classes for boys have been opened in several Illinois high schools for several years and so successful has been the cXperi- mont that the plan now is to expand if to many other schools and make i; regular course.
 + had a four-yoHr trial at palcs- tine high school a years trial at rckin. Al both places the course had to be limited because of the large enrolment.
 IL also was cNporim"nted with at Carlyle high school where girls took the course along with boys though special provisions were made fer tn" boys work. At the other schools tho home making classes were so%r"- gated, inc boys being given coursr different from that given girls.

Mir. x. posing as 1 prohibition officer. soon made a number of very interesting con- tacts. He stayed on the job six weeks and then turned in his re- port. As a result, 20 customs pa trolmen were arrested for bribery. three were locked up for perjury and 19 "big shot" rum runners were indicted
 Eleven of the government men either pleaded guilty or were con- victed, and the indicted rum run ners have cleared out for the Cana dian interior.

 Bribery wasn't the only thing that enabled the rum runners to bring their product in. however. Easy for SaMugglers,
 The geographical set-up on the Detroit river seems to have been made to order for the smugglers. Detroit's river front sprawls along the bank for miles. At no place is the Canadian shore more than a mile away. All along the river there are slips. piers, coves. docks and inlets, offering countless
 places for the reception of contra
 band cargoes. The rum runners had a fleet of speedboats-rakish little craft that could come across from the Canadian shor@ in less than two minutes.
 There would be signal men on each bank. On the Detroit side, | the signal man would keep an eye on the customs patrol boat. When 1t had gone 10 the other end of its beat he would flash a signal to the Canadian side. Instantly a speed boat would dart out and tear madly across the river. The customs boat would wheel and come back-but by the time it would reach the scene the liquor boat would be se- curely docked. hidden by some pro- jecting boathouse or pier.
 Sometimes the runners selected shallow inlets. which their boats

Detroit, June 2O.-The greatest prohibition army and navy ever brought together under the, Ameri- can flag have made the once rip roaring Detroit river into as peace able and aw-abiding a stretch of water as the North American conti- nent can show.
 The "big push" of the prohibit ton forces has made the opening of it's campaign a huge success. The runners are not coming across at Detroit now. The De- troit speakeasies are closing right and left. The highways leading cut of the city no longer resound to the roar of big truck trains carrying booze for distant cities.
 There's a reason - several req sons. in fact.
 800 Agents on Duty
 Five hundred prohibition agents or other government forces serving in that capacity are on duty here now.
 The coast guard has five of its snappy 75-foot cutters. each one mounting q one-pounder rapid-fire gun. a couple of machine guns and squad of expert rifle men. It has a dozen more cutters on the way here, and is building a whole flotilla of high-speed motor boats for use in patrolling the river.
 Thus Detroit, through which Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury Seymour Lowman once esti- mated that s5 per cent of the na- tion's imported liquor supply found its entry, is being dried up. The rum runners are not trying to get across.
 "Aw, what's the use?' re- marked one smuggler. We don't need to take chance. Detroit ain't the oply place in the United States where they drink booze. We can find another market" Thus, while Detroit is growing parched and arid, other cities such as Chicago are getting even
New Britain herald., 1929-06-20

more Canadian liquor than they got before.
 Turn to Unguardei Spots Chicago's supply, for instance, is being brought across the upper end of Lake Erie and landed in obscure coves and inlets on the Michigan shore north of Toledo. where heavy trucks wait to re- reive it and take it overland to the market Similarly, some op- orators are bringing their cargoes over the line north of Detroit. se- lecting landing places on the shores of Lake St. Clair or the Huron river.
 any-not now.
 But Detroit itsself isn't getting
 Up until d short time ago the situation was almost unbelieyably bad.
 bowman not only estimated tha, S5 per cent of the country's booze came in through Detroit: he had figures. furnished by the Canadian customs men, to show that since Jan. l, the runners have landed 1,523.750 gallons Of liquor in De- troit.
 And that isn't the half of it Millions of gallons in addition were cleared from Windsor for

 Sometimes, when tho govern ment boats were patrolling too closely, the runners would send out "decoy" A boat would dart out from the Canadian side and draw the government boat after it. After extending the chase as long as pos- sible it would allow itself to be overtaken. The coats guards would find it empty-but. while the chase was going on, fully-loaded rum boat would quietly sneak across and land its cargo.
 Liquor meant for Detroit con- sumption reached the speakeasies a short time after 1t was landed. Cargoes for out of town were placed on trucks and taken overland. with Detroits notorious Purple Gang riding in front and behind, armed

 Now. however. all of this activity has ceased - n far n Detroit is concerned. Most of the speakeasy proprietors have closed up. Some of them are lying low. waiting for a more favorable time to reopen: others have gone to Canada with the remark that they are not com ing back at all.
