LIQUOR LAW
VIOLATION IN
S. GROWING

SPARTANBURG, S. c., Jan. 3.
An increase in. the number of ar
rests recorded at the county Jail
in the seven months period since
the legalization of liquor in South
Carolina over the same period for
1884, when the prohibition law
was still on the books, was noted
in a survey of the Jail records
compiled yesterday.
The new state liquor law was
signed by Gov. Olin D. Johnston
the night of May IA and two
weeks later the first retail license
was issued. By June l, several re-
tail stores had been licensed.
The county jaips roster lists
liquor law offenses in one of three
ways, depending on the particular
offenders case. Driving a motor
vehicle while intoxicated, drunk or
drunk and disorderly, and viola
ton of the liquor law. The latter
includes selling, manufacturing
and possessing illegal liquor.
Ali three classes into which of
tenders were divided showed in
creaseS.
The largest was reflected in
those charged with violating the
liquor law, as defined above. Two
hundred and forty-eight charges
to this effect were placed on the
blotter, as compared with 155 in
1884, an increase of 81 per cent
under the new liquor law.
A four per cent jump was shown
in the number of charges of drunk
enness or drunk and disorderly.
During the seven-month period in
1884, 361 such charges were list
ed, while in 1885 the figure was
376 for the corresponding period.

INHALE AND EXHALE. BY William
Saroyan. Random House: New
York.
EIFTY MILLION monkeys writing
on nifty million typewriters for
fifty million years, by some law Of
coincidence, would reproduce an the
great literature Of the world. So says
Sir James Jeans, English astral
physicist, who has kept his eyes glued
on the stars for so many years that
he writes more like q poet than an
astronomer.
For some reason that thought Of
Sir James kept recurring to this re-
viewer as he waded through "Inhale
and Exhale," ,the second volume by
the author Of ''The Daring Young
Man on the Flying Trapene." It may
be that the recurrence of the idea
was due to some queer association
of Mr.. Saroyan's style with vague
picture of Sir James literary jungle.
To modify the sacrilege which that
statement will represent to Saroya-
mites, let it be said that there are

are being made to commemorate this
f1ftieth anniversary occasion. Only
one celebration will be held on the

THE international significance Of the
Statue of Liberty is reflected tn
an interesting extent in the island
on which it stands, having flown the
Dutch as well as the English flags. It
receives its name from Isaac Bedloe,
who was given patent to it in the
seventeenth century. 1t later came
into the hands of the City of New
York, and then the State Of New
York was given jurisdiction over it.
In 1900 the island was ceded to the
Federal Government.
The high granite wall surrounding
the base of the Statue of Liberty is
the wall of old Fort Wood. which was
used as part of the defense of New
York City from 1911 to 1877. 1t then
was abandoned to become the site Of
the statue. The star-shaped fort wall
was retained as part of the founda-
tion for the pedestal
The Statue of Liberty occupies a.
unique place in the hearts of all
Americans. Only those who have
waved farewell to 1t on departing
through the great New York harbor,
and who have greeted it upon Their
return, can realize fully how Miss
Liberty is identified with home"
But If the feeling of Americans for
this statue is great, that feeling has
been matched by millions of jmmi.
grants who have waited eagerly for a
glimpse of the torch. which to them
meant the fulfillment of a cherished
dream.
There is no more moving sight
than to watch those AmeriCans-to-be be

women and children crowd to the

Hair Strains Oil.

HUMAN hair, able to withstand a
pressure of six tons per square
inch, has found an important place
in American industry.
Practically all the cottonseed oil
used for culinary purposes is strained
through press cloth made Of hair.
In the cottonseed oil mills a meas
ured quantity of cooked cottonseed is
wrapped In strip of hair cloth and
placed in a machine, called a cake
former" where 1t is slightly COM
pressed to make compact mass.
The cake, still covered with the cloth,
is then removed to an hydraulic press.
which squeezes the oil through the
cloth. The product is piped into a
settling tank and sent to a refinery.
The use of hair cloth for wrapping
materials from which oil is to be ex-
tracted by pressure comes down from
olden times. For many years, long.
fibered goat hair and wool were used.
Afterward, European manufacturers
learned that the Asiatic camel han
was better on account Of It's length
and stretching qualities and adsptsd
it. The camel's-hair cloth was the
first press cloth used in the Uniteh
States. In 1906 the Boxer Rebellion
In China almost cut off the supply OF
raw material, and manufacturers were
compelled to resort to goat hair, llama
hair. COW tails, horse tails, cotton,
and, finally, human hair.

cut of the supply of camel hair pro-
vided a source of almost unlimited
supply of raw material for the manu-.
