I'm glad you told me-" the girl
said slowly. I suppose 1t changes
everything. doesn't it?"
Well. in some ways. In the
first place I shall insist that John
must stop killing himself in that
office. He's made himself a slave
and it's because there's been no

him take time for recreation. I'm

For ar instant their eyes met.

The girl rose and walked TO the
window which faced westward. She
could stand there with her back
toward Evelyn pretending to look
out at the night until she forced
the tears back. There were great
hot drops on her cheek. Celia

Smuggling
An Associated Dispatch in Tues
days Herald told OF booze snug
Cling up near Detroit by airplane.
According to the story, the snug
glers were using about 30 planes.
Which recalls 10 our mind that
about three years ago a friend Of
ours. who was an aviator. was ap-
preached with a similar offer from
a Texas syndicate. to fly booze
across the border and land near
Corpus Christi. The pay was
lucrative but the mans conscience
was stronger. He was offered about
81 1000 a month, a plane, and all he
had to do was fly twice a week. Al
the loading end, men would load
his plane, and when he landed in
the United States, Others would
unload 1t.
But he turned the offer down
flat.
It's highly possible. though. that
something of this nature Is going
on right now. What can be done
abou- ii? Not much. we guess.
Austin Goes Boom
Monday night one OF those baby
Austin cars was subjected TO rather
rough treatment in Matamoros.
The owner had left il parked on

Several began testing their power
BY lifting the car. One didn't know
hts own strength and the cal fell
on It's side. And that's the position
IL vas in when the owner found
1t later.
If we owned an Austin. we
wouldn't feel badly about that

Johnny Pickett is a good hunter.
He knows how TO track deer. knows

But sometimes he has bad luck.
In fact. he had rotten luck about
two weeks ago.
He was out in the brush hunting

Then. all OF a sudden. he had a

He threw the gun 10 his shoulder

was a terrible explosion and the
gun curled up in his hands.
Unfortunately he had gotten
some mud in the barrel.

The Once Over
HELP THE POOR BOOTLEGGER
BY Il. I. PHILLIPS
Copyright, 1880, by The Associated Newspapers)

The bootlegging business is in a depression. Never
since prohibition, according to reports. have the boot
leggers had such a hard time making a dishonest
living.
Many Of them are in such dire straits that they
don't know where the wife's next diamond necklace
is coming from.
They are having a difficult struggle to keep the
wolf from the labelling plant.
Unless better times come very soon thousands of
our best known bootleggers will have to give UP their
private yachts, get along with one limousine and SUBJ
lease their hunting estates.
In some cities the supply SO far exceeds the de-
mand that they have stopped cutting the liquor with
water. industrial alcohol, piano polish and coloring
extracts.
During the prosperous era there was no industry
that doomed more than the liquor industry. The boys
didn't even have to send out statesmen. Orders pour
ed in over the telephone and all shipments were made
collect on delivery. The policy was never to give a
customer an even break.
The only thing that flattened a consumer more

he could survive both he was a Grade "A insurance
risk.
The roar Of the bootleggers' trucks was loud in the
land and great was the prosperity of the poison ped
dlers. Prices were subject to increase without notice
and 1t was not considered cricket for a buyer to make
any critical comment if he opened a bottle marked
Rare Old Parr Rye" and found it to contain raw
turpentine.
Now all Is changed. Buy Now would have been
a great slogan in the old saloon days but it is a dud
as a business promoter in the alcohol industry.
Since the market break of a year ago the custom
es have practically withdrawn in a body and con-
ditions have reached a point where the bootleggers
are almost ready to turn honest.
They are even ready to sell stuff in the original
bottle.
Some Of the largest bootleggers are economizing to
such an extent that they have closed their art de-
partments and are using only one design Of label.
The boys are really in a bad way. They could get
a better break selling apples on street corners. II
the situation gets any worse you may see the unprcce-
dented spectacle of bootleggers in bread lines.
