Direct Plea for Law
Observance.
By the Associated Press

by tne Associated PreSS.
RICHMOND, December 25.-Gov
George c. Peery today had a merry
Christmas wish for everybody in Vir-
ginia except tie bootlegger at whom
he struck vigorously in a plea for law
enforcement.
In Christmas day message to the
citizens of his State the Governor
expressed himself as grateful for many
things, and hopeful that the new
year will witceSs solution of many
Of our economic problems with a
continued Improvement in prosperity ~
His seasons greetings for the boot
logger were put like this:
II would like to make one specific
appeal to the people of Virginia for
the new year.
Strict Enforcement.
"The law for State control of the
sale of Intoxicating beverages set
up by the General Assembly pur-
suant to v'.te of the people has
been in operation less than a year
The object of the law is to promote
temperance and outlaw the bootleg
ger. The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board has gotten off to a fine start
The problem is being handled in a
sound and bus;ness-like way. 1t is
essential to the success of the plan
that a new law be strictly enforced
Failure to enforce the law exists in
some localities. AS I see it, there
zens not only to obey the law, but
to help in its enforcement. Respect
for and obedience to law are abso-
lutely essential
MY plea is that a united effort
on the part of enforcement officials
and our citizens in general be made
for law enforcement throughout the
entire State"
Problems for All.
The Governor said the past year
has brought 80 us in Virginia prob
lens common to all"
Chief among them he mentioned
those incident to relief and unemploy-
ment. He added that through con-
tributions from the Federal Govern
ment, the work of the highway de-
partment and local contributions the
situation has been met and "condi-
tions today are better than they were
year ago.
He said Virginians have escaped
destructive droughts that came to
other parts of the Nation, and ma.
ture has yielded bountiful crops
These crops, ne said, were sold at
better prices than prevailed a year
ago.
I'VE nope the new year will wit
ness a solution of many of our eco
nomic problems with continued i'm
provement in prosperity. Industry
must give its help in absorbing un-
employment, and all of us must lend
helping hard to those less for
tunate in these critical times"

i At last, near the end of the line at Jacks, he sighted her, a hand- some yacht. Two masts, straight and slender. Sails fur1edr she lay in slip with every appearance of being at home.
 AT LAST HE SAW
 HER, A HANDSOME YACHT Burke strode towards her, scan- ming her carefully as he came. Must be fifty feet. Queer, no name. Boy, wasn't she trim, graceful as a gull that had just dropped from the sky on snowy wings. Momen- tariiy, admiring her sleek lines, he forgot her lawless trade. Then he was down the walk between A 6421 and her neighbor.
 Her hatch was closed. He pushed, expecting it would be fast ened below, but it slid forward.
 The port-holes were curtained, the cabin was gloomy. Burke threw wide the cabin doors below the hatch. There came a move- ment inside. A man sprang up gaz- ing about bewilderly. Burke saw he had been asleep on cushioned bench. Then the officer jumped down into the cabin and gripped the fellow by the shoulder.
 At sight of the blue uniform the mans lips strained back from his teeth, with an oath he snatched at
