Have rum-runners resOrted
to some deadly poison in their
efforts to evade arrest9 This
question puzzles NJ. Znanena-
eek, an Eleventh precinct
motorcycle policeman, today
as he recounted the high lights
of a liquor chase in Southeast
Washington late Last night in
which smoke screen was
used to elude capture.
znanenacek has been smoked"
numerous times recently by boot
leggers. His eyes have burned on
each occasion. He also has had.
difficulty in breathing when COM
batting the dense white clouds.
Eyes Burned Badly 8
'T never did see anything TO
equal this" the policeman said
today. my eyes burned so badly
I shouldn't be surprised If the
smoke screen apparatus used
against me was doctored with
some sort of poison"
Znanenacek was riding east on
the Anacostia Bridge when he saw
a large touring car of an expen-
sive make approaching at about SO
miles an hour. The policeman had
almost crossed the span when the
machine reeled by him.
Smoke Starts At Once
The policeman turned around and
gave chase. Thick clouds of smoke
began to belch from the rear of
the rum car even before the blue
coat had time to change his course.
The race proceeded across the
bridge at a speed of more than 90
miles an hour The liquor car shot
across the river behind such a
dense camouflage that the police
man lost ground from the very
start.
"The smoke was so dense I
couldn't see the road" the policeman
said. '"The only way / could tell
where I was going was by watching
the lights of about 20 cars on the
bridge at the time. had to pick my
way along as D6Sl COuId, IlOL man
ing the speed the bootleggers did.
And how my eyes burned!'
Lost 1t On Turn
The liquor car turned west into
Virginia Avenue from Eleventh
Street Southeast. 1t veered into *
Street from Virginia Avenue. That
was the last time the policeman got
a glimpse of the machine. He fol-
lowed the smoke trail for several
blocks farther without success.
There was no rear light on the
liquor car, making it impossible for
the policeman to decipher the num-
ber of the license tag. There were
curtains on the automobile. making
il difficult for the policeman to tell
whether there were more than two
men in the machine.
Numerous near collisions marked
the chase. The rum machine as well
az the policeman came within inches
Of crashing into several cars.

SHIP lines BAR
ENGLISH GIRL
WORKERS
BY KINGsBURY SMITH

LONDON. May IS Q.N.S.)-The
White Star and Royal Mail Steam
Packet companies, two of Britain's
greatest shipping concerns, have
put a ban on girl workers.
The reason is-"more efficiency"
No longer viii the companies
valuable time be wasted while noses
are powdered and screen stars dis
cussed. No longer VIII the attention
of clerks and executives be diverted
from their work by silk-shod knees,
dimpled cheeks and coquettish
smiles. ..
Letters Protest
These are the reasons given by
officials of the concerns for the
new order, which has caused no
little sensation among the working
girls of England's capital. Letters
of protest are pouring in on the
newspapers, but the companies
officials remain adamant.
women do not always make for
efficiency in office work" explained
one of the White Star officials. 1--WE
find that young men of IS to 25 are
much more conscientious. and dc
tipping and stenography every bit
as well as affectatious girls"
It is not regarded as likely thai
many other large British firms
will follow this example. for Eng
lish girls have been found as valu
able in the workaday world as have
their American sisters.
Other Firms Surprised
AS matter of fact, the other big
shipping offices in London were
greatly surprised when they learned
Of the edict.
''It is hard to understand why
this step has been taken" said an
official of the United States lines
"Of course, we do not employ
women in highly responsible posi-
tions, as it is unlikely they would
be much good as executives in
shipping offices. But as secretaries
and typists, we have found them
entirely satisfactory"
1--WE have no intention of doing
away with our ladies, whether they
powder their noses or not" de.
clared an official of the Cunard
Line. Women certainly are not
failures in the shipping world any
more than they are in any other
line of business"

Maryland Minister is
Twice Gunflre Target

BARLIN, Nd, May 1S.-Mystery
surrounds an attack early yesterday
with shotguns on the home OF the
Rev. e. N. Church, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church at Iron
shire. near here.
Worcester county authorities be.
lieve bootleggers are responsible.
Mr.. Church, who was asleep when
the shots broke windows in his
home. was unllurt. The attack Is
the second on his home in the last
week.
In each case only windows were
broken. According to neighbors
awakened by the glnfire, a car was
heard to speed away after the
shooting.
Several months ago remarks made
by the minister in the pulpit re-
suited in an attack upon him by
Charles Warren, farmer. Warren
was fined by Magistrate Peters.
The Washington times., 1929-05-13

The possibilities of such an at
tempt being successful have been
proved by experiments made by
Waller in Germany, where with a
rocket t-propelled machine fitted with
ski-runners he attained a speed of
285 miles an hour.
The rockets were fired in a series
Of one and one!half second inter-
walls. Between the first and second
discharges the. machine covered a
distance of 25 yards. and the device
steadily gained spead until, with
the detonation of fifth series of
rockets, the speed averaged well
aver 200 miles an hour.
For, the Doyer-to Calais attempt,
Waller proposes to build a craft on
hydropIane lines. Although the
exact details Of the ship remain
secret, it has been revealed that
the craft in appearance win re-
semble an arrow or harpoon, its
length being three times its wing;
