STRANGE CODE
 FOR AIRCRAFT

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 7.-"Nes- tor, eclipse, woodward, starlight edgemont, watkins, etna, wabash"
 These are some of the odd code words developed for use of aircraft wireless operators in communicat- ing with ground stations.
 Thus an airplane operator broad casting, "edgement 50 at 1,50o C-A-V-U," would inform the ground operator that he was eastbound out of Detroit, at an altitude of 1,500 feet, and that ceiling, or height of the clouds, and visibility were unlimited
 A westbound pilot would use the code word, woodward. "Nestor" is north bound out of Cincinnati, starlight" south bound. Between Cleveland and Toledo key words are eclipse" for east, and wat kins" for west. "Etna" and wa bash" identify planes on the Cleve- land- Albany route.

MONTREAL. Aug. II U.n -
Trouble for Canadian distilling in
terests and law enforcement off
GERS along the Canadian United
States border are foreseen with the
repeal of the 18th amendment.
For one thing, a scramble to get
into the distilling and brewing in
dustry is reported. With the 18th
amendment and the enforeement
act repealed, temporary, but not
lasting, benefits may accrue TO
Canadian interests. It IS said that
distilleries will be able 10 supply
basic liquor until such time as
the Americana plants can turn out
a properly matured article The
extent of the exports after that is
questionable.
The national revenue department.
at Ottawa foresees some difficulty
along the border when the Unit
ed States goes wet. The problem is
likely to be reversed; instead Of
Canadian whiskey being struggled
into the United States, the United
States product may be diverted
here. Trouble already has been ex-
perienced with U. S. smugglerS OF
alcohol.
