REPEAL FAILS in FINLAND

The repealists promised to
Finland what they now prom
Use to the U. S.-solution of the
financial problems, of unem-
ployment, bootlegging, crime.
Not a single promise has been
fulfilled, and more liquor than
ever is drunk. The Finnish
treasury has never been so
empty as it is now, a year after
repeal. Government taxes are
as high as ever, city taxes are
from 10% to 800 higher.
Unemployment has not been
solved and the farm problem
is more serious than ever. The
Assistant Chief of the Finnish
Coast Guard declared a month
ago, in a newspaper interview:

and bootleggers are continuing
their dirty business" Accord
ing to police statistics the
crime condition is now more
alarming than ever before with
a noticeable increase in MUIR
ders and manslaughter. Ac-
tually, conditions in Finland
are now approaching debauch-
cry. Every wet promise made
in the U. S. was made in Fin
land. Every such promise has
proved false.

AFETY first should be the rule
this year when there has been
so much home canning. Don't
take any risks. 1t is imprac-
tica1le and dangerous to attempt
to can non-acid vegetables at
home without a pressure cooker,
and unsafe to eat non-acid vege-
tables that have been so canned.
DR.. A. F. Woods, Director of
Scientific Work of the Department
of Agriculture, made statement
on this subject in 1929. He said
at that time:
Research and practical expert
ence have demonstrated that non
acid food products, like asparagus,
beans, corn, peas, beets, spinach,
meats and fish cannot be safely
canned by processing in boiling
water, but must he sterilized I'M

DRY RAIDS DURING MARCH
Fifty-Nine Liquor Plants Cap
tured - Thirty-Six
Cars Seized
Cars Seized

Results of the recent orders
issued dry Investigators to con-
centrate on sources of liquor
supply and transportation are
shown in the monthly report
compiled by Lowell r. Smith,
prohibition administrator for
Maryland.
Fifty-nine stills were seized
in March, as opposed to forty
eight in February, while thir-
ty-nine cars were taken last
month, as against twenty-eight
the month before, the report
shows.
On the other hand, there was
a decline in the number of ar
rest cases-160 in March, or "a
fewer than in February. De-
PENDANTS arrested last month
numbered $50, a sagainst 345
the preceding month.
The raiding squads in March
seized and destroyed $1,000
gallons of whisky mash, 1,400
gallons of whisky and some
900 gallons of home-brew
mash.
In February, Mr.. Smith said,
his men accounted for approx
mately $4,000 gallons of whis-
key mash, 1900 gallons of
whisky and about 1900 gallons
of home-brew mash.
Four men arrested in two
dry raids in Cecil county over
the weekend waived prelimi-
nary hearing before J. Frank
Supplee, United States Com
missioner, who set their bail at
81, 500 each.
Robert Dalton and Ike Mole
were captured at the site of a
300-gallon still, where the raid
ers also found 1000 gallons Of
mash and IS gallons of whis-
key. Dalton and Mole went to
Jail in default of bond.
John H. Brown and Edward
H. Ekland, arrested at the
other still, a 150-gallon plant,
posted bond and were released.

readily available at small cost.
The Department does not recon.
mend any particular make, al
though it is important that the
pressure kettle be equipped with
thermometer and pressure gauge
for proper control.
There is now no excuse for
continu ng to take risks involved
in canning non-acid foods without
adequate pressure cookers.
Cali recommendations of this
Department will hereafter make
this clear and emphatic"
In further support of this timely
warning, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture Farmers
Bulletin No. 1471 (Revised June,
1917 entitled Canning Fruits
and Vegetables at Home" contains
the following statement:
Process all these vegetables in
the pressure Gamer. If no pres
sure Gamer is available, it is rec
commended that methods of pre-.
servation other than canning be
used."*

Contract Bridge

Vests diamond bid shows a very
fine hand When South then goes
to three spades, showing a second
suit after partner has asked. by
his three heart bid, for a bid of
either four hearts or three no
trump, this becomes a slam try.
North knows by the bidding that
South holds more hearts than
spades, and, holding his hearts him
self. it is natural that he should
figure his partner for five hearts
and four spades.
However, in jumping to five
spades over Vests bid of four clubs
he is very optimistic. because there
are only two outstanding hearts
and both of them may be in the
West hand, in which case West can
open a heart. which East immedi-
ately will ruff and quickly defeat
the contract.
However, when the hand was
played. several tables arrived at a
slam contract, but only one table
played it at six spades. and that
was the only table to make it, due
to the fact that losing diamond
could be discarded on the long
heart in dummy.
All North and South had to grant
was club trick-the other club be-
ing ruffed in dummy.
