ENFORCEMENT HIT
IN OTTAWA DEBATE
Worse Than Joke in U. S..
Declares Graham, Defend
! ing Policy on Smuggling.

~ the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, May Ex-senator George
. p. Graham termed United States pro-
hibition law enforcement worse than a
joke in the course of debate on sup
preston of liquor smuggling in the Ca
madam Senate yesterday.
Defending the government policy of
refusing to grant the request Of the
United States that liQuor-laden vessels
be denied clearance, he said that when
liquor was shipped across the Detroit
River the United States customs officers
found 1t convenient to disappear.
He said large percentage of the
boats engaged in rum-running was
American tonnage and the crews were
American citizens.
Senator C. E. Tanner denied that
Canada was. the chief source of bootleg
that he had been in fine houses in the
states where ale, wine, brandy and
liuueurs were made on the premises and
one could buy parts for stills in the de-
partment stores in the United States"
He said Canada provided only 5 per
cent Of the liquor being consumed in
the United States.
Sir George Foster, urging greater CO.
operation on the part OF Canada,
charged that Canadian distillers were
In active collision with the rum
runners.
He said President Hoovers conduct
pointed to a determination to enforce
the Volstead law and said Canada would
do well to cooperate to the extent of
refusing clearance to liquor cargoes.

Jacob Van Hoff Operates What Is

many of the cattle and hogs whose

crates what Is believed to be the only
wooden shoe factory in America.
Jacob Van Hoff learned the art OF
making wooden footwear in the Neither
lands.
Here he found that numerous orders
for wooden shoes were sent to Holland
each year, and he set about to supply
the demand. Now he ships his shoes,
many of them of souvenir sizes, to all
parts Of the country.
The making Of wooden shoes Is
tedious process. It requires the cutting
of the trees which then must be cut
into triangular blocks before the shoe
making process starts. With broadax
Van Hoff shapes his block into the
length and shape Of the shoe he Is to
make.
He then srnooths the shoe into its
final shape, after which he hollows it.
The shoes are scraped with glass to
make them as smooth as possible.
Van HoH makes shoes from cotton
wood or willow trees.

many years the country was practically
ruled by recognized bandit, who per-

garded as sufficient excuse for any
kind of outlawry as long as it was con-

Miss Bristoll, Speaking Be- fore W. (. T. L., Says Foreign Born Parents Are Willing to Cooper ate With Her Depart ment in Disciplining Children.

Girls are better than hoys. At least. thinks Miss Ruth r., Bristol, probation officer. whose record coH- CTS the past several wears of work among juveniles. This oft argued point was emp llsiZcd yesterday ait efnoon by Miss Rristoll when she dd- dressed a grodp of members Of the w. C. T. l.. at meeting at Trinity church.
 During a period in which she has Las been engaged in her work with neglected. uncared for and dclIu- quent juveniles she has found that there is a larger pror ortiOn Of boys than girls. almost three times as d matter of fact. who are under sur Neillance by authorities. At present. which is considered an average pc riod, there are 50 boys and only : gIrls on probation. she stated.
 Miss Briston explained her work 10 members of the organization. She stressed the fact that there is a general misunderstanding of the nu- ture of juvenile courts. The usual conception of a juvenile court Is very similar to police court. The juvenile courts are instituted by the government to take care Of cases not only of those who appear to be de- linquent, but also to interest itself in cases Of uncared for and neglected children. always attempting 10 iron out possible misunderstanding which occur between parents and their off spring,
 She has found cases Of parents who are afraid to spoil the rod even though they desire 10 do 90 primarily "becausc their children tell them that the United States law will not tolertte whipping of chiI- dren by their parents JudiciOuS punishment IS necessary, in her opinion.
 AS a whole the foreign parent 's willing and does cooperate with Miss Bristoll IS much as he is able. There are time when foreigners in ability to understand English IS detrimental to q happy solution oi problems relating to their child's welfare, but these instances are rare, When they do occur it is all ways possible to cali in a neighbor and have him act as interpreter.
 Miss Bristoll illustrated with sev- eral examples that boys or girls character is formed in the home.
