keepers today called for larger po- lice forces to fight Q bootleg liquor trafflc which the organization said is as highly organized since repeal as 1t was during prohibition.
 "At present we lack the police man power to defeat the bootleggers; we can eliminate some of them and only harrass others, Edward J. Ryan, president-treasurer of the state organization said. "The alco- hol tax unit should have at least Q thousand extra men throughout the country. State liquor enforce rnent units should also be consider ably increased"
 Reduce Taxes
 The tavern organization which to- day completed It's first report after Q two-year study of the liquor prob- lem suggested a substantial reduc- ton in liquor taxes 50 as to allow lower prices on liquor thereby dis- couraging the bootlegger.
 The meeting was presided over by James Goodrich of New Haven chairman of the board of directors, The principal speaker was MT. Ryan who was recently elected as national secretary of the Amagamated Re- tail Liquor Dealers of America, Inc, Ryan's chief duties with the nation- al organization will be to watch for proposed liquor legislation before the congress which might be harm- full to the liquor dealers of the United States. MT. Ryan will make his headquarters at the Shoreham Hotel when working at the National Capital.
 Curran Chosen
 The board elected Leo Curran of Bridgeport to the post of state sec- retary of the tavern association. For the past three years MT. Curran has been an active tavern leader in Fairfield county. The post now oc- cupied by Curran has been held by MT. Ryan until his election to the post of President-treasurer of the organization.

Starting from rubbish pile
nearby, the flames crept closer to
the building where some discarded
lumber was destroyed. This was
extinguished with chemicals and
the crowd left thinking the fire
was out. A brisk wind, however,
had blow sparks to the loft of the
building where they found mater
ial on which to feed and gave the
firemen real battle before they
were subdued. The building was
the same which gave Springfeld's

SON WILL TAKE
MOTHER BACK TO
NATIVE GERMANY

Lamberton-An interesting Wis
itor in Lamberton last week was
Karl Rapazinske of Germany, who
came to get his mother, Mrs. Jo-
ham Gherke, who will accompany
him back to Germany where she
will spend the remainder of her
life. Living alone and in poor
health, she has longed to return to
her native land.
Mr.. Rapazinske served in the
World war in which he was
wounded. He now owns a 40 acre
farm near Berlin where he and
his family reside.
Among impressions CLEANED in
this country were that the United
States is too big. Highways here
are much narrower than in his ma
tive land. There, where there is
far less traffic, the roads are twice
the width with lanes for teams on
either side. After getting a shave
at Lamberton, he said, the BARRIERS
go through too much work. In
Germany they lather the face just
once before shaving.
The study of English is now
compulsory in schools in his coun-
try, he said, the feeling being that
with an understanding of the
American language one can be
understood in whatever country he
visited.
He plans to visit brother at
Alexandria before he and his
mother start their voyage. -
