filling business has been hard
hit by the strain Of wartime condi-
tons sugar, gasoline and tire rs-
tioning and others. Improved EN-
ployment opportunities for one
time bootleggers and continued in
tense enforcement efforts also are
factors In the decline, which has
come despite sharply increased
taxes on distilled spirits Though
in other years tax increases have
meant a boom in Illicit distilling,
present bootlegging operations
are reported at the lowest level
since the repeal Of national pro
hibition.
About 1900 persons have been
recommended for prosecution dur.
Ing the past year. Included among
those prosecuted and convicted
was "Waxy" Gordon OF speakeasy

set up a 10000 pound sugar black

Also brought to the bar was q
group OF 10 men in the Marco Linn
sndri gang. New York. who were
accused OF supplying 100000
pounds OF sugar weekly for two
years 10 Illicit distillers.
Agents also smashed an Alabama
hill country moonshine ring that
had plagued the government since
national prohibition days. In that
group were 80 persons, mostly re
lated by blood or by marriage, re
siding in an isolated section in
Shelby County, Ala.
After months OF intensive under
cover work. agents closed in and
in four days destroyed stills with
reported cubic capacity OF 20
800 gallons a day.
At the same time. the Treasury
Department announces that intel
ligence agents. pressing the fight
against tax evaders. returned TO
the government $6l,000.000 in ad-
ditional assessments and penalties
last year. or III alleged tax evad-
ers going on trial 100 were con-
Nicted.
Thus it would appear that the
government is really getting down
TO business in the matter OF cur
failing liquor production both legal
ard Illicit and also in the pursuit
OF dollars which tax eyaders have
attempted to withhold.
With distilleries transformed
into munition and rubber factor
les and with Bookkeeping at low
ebb, there is sure TO be less
drunkenness. The only hope for
lluuor customers lies in the i'm
port business and the outlook for
that is not bright. There are more

is a tendency for fat to accumu-

aged spread" refers to a distri-
button of fat which is concentrated
between the collar, bones and the
knee and this is the ordinary form
Of obesity.
There are, however, rather spe-
cisl cases of sccumulations Of fat.
One is the fat pad on the neck
which forms a sort Of horse collar
and may leave the rest Of the body
fairly thin. Another is a form
which occurs mostly in women in
which the body from the waist
down is extremely heavy with
many fat pads and the upper part
Of the body is almost emaciated.
A popularity Of some fat ac-
cumulations is that they are very
painful. This is the disease called
a..F osus doloiosa, which is an ac-
emulation Of fat pads on the I'M
der part OF the arms and is so
named because it means a fat &C

l.ipoma

The commonest form Of local
lied accumulation Of fat is what
is called lipoma, which means a
tumor Of the fat tissue. These
are very common and can be found
as little balls Of fat about the size
Of half a lemon, or larger. They
seem to have no relation to the
general nutrition of the body at
all. People with these fat pads
may become completely emaciated
from a fever or other systemic
disease and yet the fat in these
accumulations does not 60 down
at all.
Still another condition is called
symmetrical multiple encapsu-
lated fat pads. In this condition
there will be numerous small nod
ule5 OF fat which can be felt under
the skin. They are called SYM
metrical because, for instance,
there will be exactly ten on one
arm and ten on the other arm.
The cause of the various alb
normal conditions is entirely I'M
known. Probably they have some
thing to do with the ductless
glands.
OF course, this brings up an old
controversy between those who
believe that obesity is due to a
popularity in the individuals
physiology, probably based on an
imbalance OF the ductless gland
secretion, and those who believe
that it is simply due to eating too
much and exercising too little.
Nutritionsl Makeup
The first group talk about an
"X" factor in a persons nutri-
tional makeup which causes the
person to utilize food so that it
turns TO fat" Many fat people
will tell you that they eat less than
half Of what another person does,
but careful observation shows that
their fat is earned because they
eat just about as much as any
body else and they make far fewer
movements and take far less ex-
ercise.
There is, however, unquestion-
ably an endocrine basis to fat &C.
cumulations as can be seen in such
cases as those Of young adolescents
who are overweight-such as the
Fat Boy in "Pickwiek." There
must be one in your neighborhood.
About so per cent Of the human
race after the age Of 40 has some
peculiar distribution Of fat. So if
you are puzzled by one of these
accumulations, don't worry, be-
cause you belong to the great ma
jority.
