CHILD IS BLAMED
 FOR EXPLOSION

Muskego, Wis, April 19-CUP)- Authorities believed today that two and one-half-year-old Raymond Waszak caused the explosion which killed his mother and seven broth- srs and sisters, and scattered their farm home over an acre The child's body was discovered in the base nerit, not far from where 50 pounds of low-grade dynamite had been stored. Only survivor was the father, John Waszak, who had purchased the explosive several years ago for stump blasting. He was outside the house when the blast lifted it off it's foundations and dropped it in slnouldering kindling.
 Farmers and Waukesha county deputy sheriffs found Raymond's body. It was not badly maimed be- cause the explosive characteristic ally spent its force upward. Inves- tigators were uncertain how the boy could have detonated the charge put knew of nothing else which might have set it of.

WOMAN'S DEATH
 VERY MYSTERIOUS

Watertown. N. Y, April 19-UP)
 Authorities sought today to de- termine how and why Mrs. Ruth H. Hartman, 28, former school teacher and Smith college graduate, died on an island in the St. Lawrence river. She had been missing since Saturday. A fisherman found her body on Broad island yesterday. To reach the island she had to cross a 50-foot sand bar washed by two feet of water. An autopsy showed death was not caused by drowning. Examiners thought she may have died of exhaustion. Her coat and one slipper were missing. Mrs, Hart
 man returned to Watertowil last week from a private sanitarium in Troy, N. r., and previously had been a patient in the State hospi- tai at Ogdensburg.

"The evils of which the public complains have, it seems, largely grown up around the taproom and tavern" said Alexander. There we find a scene that is entirely new in American life-women and young girls drinking at the bar, women and young girls soliciting trade, and women and young girls serving customers.
 "This is abhorrent to the moral sense of the public, and fear if it is not corrected will be visited with a terrible punishment.
 "A wise policy would be for the industry to police itself so rigidly as to weed out all these offensive prac- tices and thus make 1t unnecessary to strengthen federal and state con- trol," the administrator declared.
 Retailer Represents Industry
 Alexander said that because the retailer of alcoholic beverages comes directly in contact with the public he is considered the liquor indus try by those who seek to cure these social evils by legislation and by ballot, rather than by the age old plan of education"
 He said dry forces concentrate their attacks on the retailer lon the theory that if the retail out lets are extinguished the source of supply and of distribution naturally will dry up"
 The administrator said group liberal in views and tolerant in sympathies" had complained that the price of liquor is too high.
 Naturally, when there was a small quantity of spirits on hand to meet the large consumptive demand, the price was as high as the traf- fife would bear" he said.
 Vast Quantities Tn Storage
 But this is not the case now. There is an enormous quantity of spirits in storage. DiStilleries are turning out 20,00O,000 gallons a month and the public is corsum- ing only 6,00O,00O gallons.
 Despite this. the retail price of liquor continues at a level that is out of proportion to the cost of manufacture and distribution, he declared. The universal law of supply and demand should operate to reduce prices, if liquor is no diff ferent from other commodities.
 Denying that taxes imposed on liquor caused the continued high price, Alexander said high mark up" on alcoholic beverages is neces- sary to enable the retail trade, de- scribed as "an over-staffed branch of the industry" to stay in business under the standardized price sys- tenn.
 Fewer Outlet Stores Likely
 ITO save the industry from se- were blow" he said, T confidently look to some system to be evolved which will reduce the number ot retail outlets and thereby cut down the price of liquor"
 Alexander said the Federal Alco- hol Administration believes that "a heavy advertising expense is also laying an excessive toll on the con- Sumer."
 | Our immediate concern is witt the content of the advertisement he said. "To control that we have !, adopted certain restrictive regula. tions to prevent deception of the consuming public.
 I "We have no authority to prevent or curtail the use of advertising matter which, while informative tc the consumer, is offensive to the general public.
 Tn view of the present lack o1 federal power to deal with all ob- jectionable advertising practices the industry and state enforcement officials are invited to give carefu, thought to the formulation of g program for the elimination he said.
