But the connection was broken at
the other end, purposely. 1t was
not an unusual procedure. Many
people are willing to tell what they

is Just as WELL" said the chief in
charge of the force, there is some

The chief, IN this instance, called
in Joe Jackson. Now Joe JACKSON
is not his baptismal name, but, II is
close to it. For, while many know
him, and some suspect his fearless

advertising him to his personal dan

as possible under the circumstances.
Joe. however, is an ace. He
operates among the Negro popuia-

about as ordered. He is a quiet
fellow. large. good looking, lntelll-
gent. He has won a reputation for
honesty and integrity and falr
dealing under many trying clrcum-
stances. There is no question as 10
his bravery either.
The chief talked with Joe over
his expanse of mahogany. The
telephoned tip had in the mean
time been typewriter. Joe read 1t
through as his chief talked. He
smiled. He knew the section. But
let him tell his own story:
First I went to the flies ana
found out that there had been pre-
yious complaints, mostly anony-
nous concerning this place. In

been taken for it was conviction

raids without purpose, Joe eX-

Taking along an assistant, we

best to make a direct attack. 1t
seemed to be the last thing that
would be expected and so perhaps,
I reasoned, the very way that might
succeed.
Il frankly told the undertaken
our GRAND. He lived in a pros
porous neighborhood and had his
office at his residence. He gave us
permission to search his home from
cellar to garnet. He was very po-
lite about it and most accommo-
dating. In fact, he was too much
so. 1t made me suspicious. But
try our best, we could not find a
single drop of the stuff anywhere,
"Then we got together for a few
minutes where we could not be
overheard and I talked the Situa-
ton over with my assistant. APP
parently every place in the house
had been thoroughly covered. Then
1 remembered the slip which the
chief had given to me referred to
the fact that there was hearse.
None of us had seen hearSe about,

any more than the inside of the

"But I determined TO ask about
the hearse. The owner when ap-

said that he had hearSe and that
he rented it out for funerals. When
asked where it was then, he said
it was in his garage. The garage

smell, slightly reminiscent of the
musty odor behind swinging doors
in bygone days, but no one but an
amateur would feel justified to
make a raid merely because of an
odor. There had to be conclusive
evidence of manufacture or sale.
Such evidence is frequently very
difficult to obtain.
The suspicious appearing men at
the, suspected house were evidently
located advantageously. There was
no place of concealment nearby
except possibly some tombstones.

stones during the fall months did

REFEREES ARE SELECTED FOR
 LEGION MIXER
Sperling and Franks to Handle All Bouts on
 Smoker Card

Billy Franks and Harry Sperling will referee all bouts on the Ameri- can Legion's Fourth. of July smok- CT card tonight in the A. B. Hall Legion Arena, it was announced to- day by Claud Helgeson, Post Com mander. Karl Theile and E. c. Adams will officiate as judges and Dave Housel as timekeeper.
 The smoker is billed to start at 8:3O o'clock. There are five events on the card with a total of 24 rounds of fighting scheduled.
 Kayos Are Predicted
 But there are those among the wise fans who predict shorter than scheduled bill. Kayos are fore cast for the order of the day in one of the bouts. Maybe so maybe not, but the indications are good for some real battling in every scrap. There shouldn't be many dull minutes during the entire show which should be as full of fists as raw moon is of fusel oil.
 Soldier" Olson, who meets Joe Manila in the six-round main event, has a lot of packers who look for him to stop the little brown broth CT from Ketchikan within three rounds. Olson arrived here this morning from Chilkoot Barracks fit as a fiddle for the bout. Manilas condition is as good as his friends could desire. He has worked faith fully and with the idea of taking the soldiers measure.
 Jimmy Moore and Sailor" Olson a couple of big fellows, will show the fans some fancy slugging in their scheduled five-round mixup Moore has made a lot of friends here by his willingness to mix in previous appearances. Olson is newcomer. He likes to swap wallops and they are his main stock in trade.
 Fast Special Bout
 Weaver and Seman, 28-pounders, clash in special five-round go. In their training these lads have shown worlds of speed, plenty of aggressiveness, and both pack pow erful punches. They are both ex- perienced in the cauliflower pas time, and are extremel we'll matched.
 Ben Wright may be the lad to stop Sammy Nelson, whom he meets in the second preliminary. Nelson, game and rugged two-fisted fighter, has been in some tough spots in his local ring career, but tonight's looks like the toughest assignment yet given him. If Wright can stay away from Nelson's looping right hand, those who have watched him

Your Child
Let Children Go Barefoot;
It's Real Benefit for Them

friends or children?
The children don't need 70 run
about the streets anyway. They
shouldn't be on the street at all
for that matter. They should be
playing in their own nice yards Call
children should have a Yard or on
the porches. A city child is simply
out of luck if he has no choice, and
1 am sorry for that.
Children can be washed ana
dressed at 8 o'clock and shoes put
on. That's as it should be, but play
time in summer is barefoot time.
and we can put our inhibitionS and
squeamishness behind us. I hope
far enough to give the youngsters
some freedom.
Little sandals that protect the
soles of the feet, but. that permit
the same muscular development
that results from going barefoot"
are excellent, but there is something
about ground contact that the chill
dren need more of, and that they
don't get. Their feet need it too.
One mother 1 know puts diIninu-
tive bathing suits on her children
every morning and they play around
in them all day. These suits are
merely shorts and shoulder straps.
She has enc of those new-idea
shallow movable tanks in the back
yard that is easily filled with the
hose and empties by means of a
little side faucet over the thirsty
grass at night.
The children have disregarded
the nifty white sand pile and are
busy making regular mud-pies in
the corner of the lot. They mould
things out of the sticky mud, dry
them in the sun, and play store.
She has laid in a quantity of play
money. They wear big farmer hats
bought at the 10-cent store to keep
the sun off their heads, but they
are as brown as berries at that.
The yard is hedged all around.
which is great comfort.
I often wonder why we Ameri-
cans waste our yards SO. We sur
round ourselves with lawns to the
edge of the walk, and to the neigh
boris lawns on the right and left.
Then we stay in our house rather
than face the publicity of the out
side world.
The time will come when we
will awaken to our privileges and
blessings, and consider that our
own grounds, attractively planted
and assuring certain privacy and
safety for the children, are our
own domains to enjoy. Shrubs
and hedges are not expensive and
grow fast.
Outdoor life in ever SO little a
garden is a joyA The people of
Europe discovered that long ago.
Outdoor meals, outdoor entertain
ment, outdoor aid, right at home
the street kept out by shrub
walls or hedges. Streets now are
only thoroughfares.
In such a sanctuary we need not
worry about the children. If they
are barefoot we need not worry
about glass or stones or nails.
I do wish it were possible for
every family with children to have
a house and a yard. I don't be-
lieve there is a substitute.
