year." he said. the department of national revenue maintains a fleet of nearly 40 boats and scores of of ficers to prevent the smuggling o' liquor into Canada chiefly from the French Islands of St. Pierre and iquelon-possessio of anothef friendly nation. It might be addei that there is no prohibition of clear ances from these islands nor from Great Britain"
 He asserted recent special en- forcement efforts by the United States government have resulted in marked reduction in liquor run ming. but asserted ''it must be ap- parent to every intelligent person that it is not humanly possible 10 entirely prevent the flow of liquor to dry neighbor whose territory lies adjacent for thousands of miles"

Ottawa. July 26 tP-Solution Of the problem of liquor smusgled from Canada into the United States, In the opinion of W. D. Euler, min- fster of national revenue, rests en- Airely with the American govern fhent. ... -v Declaring that virtually loo per Eent of the smuggling is by United States citizens in United States boat. fe suggested in staement publish ed today that the most effective means of combating the situation would be adoption of the American government of clearance regulations for all boats leaving the United States shore.
 Canada Would Cooperate
 If this were done. the Canadian government would be quite ready to consider any further reasonable measure of cooperation
 If Canadian citizens and Cana dian boats engaged in the traffic, :" he said, The Canadian government would be prepared to enact legisla- ton dealing with the matter, but surely some responsibility for the actions of their own citizens rests with the government of the United States
 MT. Euler pointed out that all yes sels leaving Canadian ports carrying merchandise, including liquor, al ,,t clearance to liquor boats cannot b., refused except by act of parlla- ment. .- He declared he opposed the en- actment of such legislation as it would not stop the smuggling but merely tend to corrupt Canadians.
 "As a matter of fact" he said, saccording to evidence from the United States enforcement officers themselves only ? per cent to 5 per cent of the liquor in the United States comes from Canada.
 If prohibition of clearances would stop this relatively small flow 1t would make little material diff ferences in the enforcement of pro- hibition in that country. But the refusal of clearances by Canada would not stop the traffic.
 Liquor could still be purchased legally in fairly large quanties n every liquor store under provinciaj control. The large profits woul ] tempt hundreds and perhaps thou sands of Canadian citizens who arc not now engaged in the traffic tc obtain liquor from the stores fo, shipment surreptitiously 10 the United States by truck, autom obile planes, and in boats from many places along the boundary without taking clearances.
 Would Corrupt Citizens
 Thus, our citizens would be cor, rupted, the traffic wouldu be diff fused instead of being concentrates in official and comparatively few customs ports where it can be ob served and reasonably controlled The Canadian law would then b, violated in liquor laden boats de parted for the United States with out clearance and the duty woul, be laid on the government of Cana da to maintain largely agument cd preventive force along tn, whole frontier to prevent and punist the violation of the new law, a law which, after all, would only be en acted to assist in the enforcement Of the law of a foreign country'
 The minister pointed out tha Canada already had seriou liquor smuggling problem on it hands along the Atlantic coast.

 She said 9o.G per cent of the .10.o52 children studied attended the movies. Only 1.T per cent definitely stated they did not go to picture shows, most of them TO- mHining away because of religions beliefs.
 The children were divided into three groups for purposes of the study-ayerage school children. de lirquents, and Boy and Girl Scouts. The delinquent ChiId's attendance at the movies exceeded that of other groups. Girl Scouts and high school girls were the only ones to express a preference for books.

PUTTING TASTE:
 INTO COOKERY
Four Women Experts Redis-
 cover Old Secret

An old secret rediscovered by four well-known women cooking ex- perts is worth the attention of every woman in the United States. Vege- tables are rated by scientists with milk and fruits as essential foods. Anything that will make good vege- tables more delicious, hence more widely eaten, is of importance to the national health.
 That is exactly the problem these women experts were working on how>to make vegetables so delicious that every member of the family will enjoy them and eat them. They cooked vegetables in many ways. They worked and tasted patiently. All voted unanimously in every case in favor of vegetables cooked in little water and with the addi- tion of a dash of sugar. How sim ple-yet how far-reaching!
 Try this simple rule today with beets, peas, string beans, lima beans, corn, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, squash, onisns, tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach. asparagus, beet greens and celery. Try using q little sugar and just notice the difference in flavor. Remember it does not make the vegetables taste sweet. It makes them fresher, brighter and better.
 Add also little sugar to meat and vegetable soup blends. Watch how it brings out the flavors of the meats and vegetables. A little sugar promotes successful cookery. Good food promotes good health. The Sugar Institute.
