WHISKY FRAUD
REVEALED
BY International News Service


The distillers today warned the
public of high pressure" sales
men who are selling whisky ware
house receipts with the impress
sion that the buyers will realize
huge profits on their resale.
DR.. J. M. Doran, supervisor of
the distillers' code, cited a pro-
vision in the code which pre-.
vents a distiller from dispensing
whisky in bulk to persons other
than distillers, rectifiers, OF State
dispensaries, so the individual
purchasing such certificates
could not in fact get possession
of these goods in any way other
than by having them taxpaid
and bottled by some authorized
agency.
He said if a wholesaler or re-
taller desires to obtain whisky
he will do so through the dis
tiller and not through a third
or fourth party who is holding a
receipt for the liquor purely as
an investment.

Smiths Grove, KY, 100 miles

there shortly after midnight. Min

the vicinity of Lake Louisville, Is

Berry Stoll and his brothers,

Grand Jury In
Favor OF Law To
Protect Children
Would Halt Traffic While Stu.
dents Get Aboard Or Unload
From Buses

The Montgomery County grand
jury has urged the passage of a law
requiring automobiles and other We
hicles to halt while school children get
aboard or unload from school buses.
The proposal was part of the report
made by the grand jury to Judge
Charles w. Woodward last week.
The jurymen pointed out that they
had in mind several serious accidents
which have happened recently.
The grand jury further commended
Chief of Police A. A. Monkey and the
county police force and declared: "It
is our opinion that to the efficiency of
this force is due more than anything
else the small number of cases pre-
scented to the grand jury"
The States attorney, clerk of the
court ad the bailiff were commended
by the body, which also approved the
conditions and appearance of the
county buildings in Rockville, Bethes-
da and Silver Spring. The county
home also was found in excellent con-
dition, the jury reported.

$49, 500 In Xmas
Savings Will Be
Paid DepOsitors
Merchants In Rockville Area
Will Benefit From Spending
Of Local DepOsitOrs

Nearly $4,000 will be distributed
by the various banks in the Rockville
trading area next week when the an
nual Christmas Savings checks are
mailed out to depositors living in the
upper section of Montgomery County.
The total amount announced by
these banks, some of which have an
nounced approximately figures only,
is SAG, 5S4.67. The Farmers Banking
and Trust of Rockville leads all others
with $22, 034.67. Both the Montgomery
County National Bank and the First
National Bank of Gaithersburg report
$4,000 each. The Sandy Spring Bank
will mail out checks aggregating
$4,000, while the Damascus Bank re-
ports the sum of $4,000 to be given
Christmas Savings depositors.
It is believed that large amount
of this money will be spent with local
merchants. The total this year exceeds
the amount distributed last year by
nearly $4,000. This is taken as an in
dication that as whole the county is
more prosperous than it was a year
ago.
Nationwide reports say that whole
salers are spending more money and
buying more goods for the Christmas
trade than they did IN 1888. Local
merchants believe that despite the
political unrest here more money will
be spent in Rockville than probably
during the past three years.
