In defense of the procedure, he
asserted:
"The sale of the tools was
advertised in our regular bull

and all persons making pur-

contracts and made their certi-
fled checks payable to the
treasury department" l
Detroit dealers who purchased
the material are established busi-

other dealers with reference to

WEAKER LIQUOR

Though the public is generally
unaware of it, much of the whis-
key being sold today is inferior
both in quality and quantity to
pre-war liquor
AS expressed in the trade, I'VE
have dropped couple of degrees"
This is another way of saying that
whiskey which used to be 80 proof
is now IS. In other words, the dis
tillers are diluting their product
to make it go farther.
There are limits to this, for the
law provides minimum of 80 proof
for anything marketed as whiskey
Likewise there is general trend
toward retailing whiskey in fifth, >"
or one-fifth of gallon, instead of
quarts.
Distillers' explanation for this is
the necessity of making liquor go
farther with limited supplies. Re
duced supplies are reflected in the
fact that 1s43 consumption of dis
titled liquors is falling off sharply
from 1912. January of this year

cannery and was not found until
yesterday morning.
An inquest was held yesterday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in U. S.
Commissioner Felix Gray's court
and death was said to have been
caused by self-inflicted wounds. He
had attempted to slash his wrists
and ankles, which evidently proved
unsatisfactory, and death was
caused by strangulation with a
cord which was found around his
neck.
Apparently in i'll health, Cabuena
was arrested at Taku Inlet June
16 on a draft evasion charge. He
was later released by the Mar
shals office and turned over to
the Army for induction. Rejected
by the Army, the charge was dis

at the cannery.

Here's a Suggestion
Cincinnati Enquirer


In Los Angeles groups of irate seryicemen have
stormed through the streets spreading havoc among
wearers of suits" who it is claimed are mem
bers of juvenile gangs which have been attacking
men in uniform and molesting young women who
have accompanied them We hold no brief for the
"zoot suffers" but feel that men in uniform
sometimes go too far in their attempts to act as
police or draft officials.
There have been hundreds of instances where
too-enthusiastic servcemen-and civilians as we'll
have heckled youths in civilian garb charging them
with being slackers evaders OF the draft. Some
times the heckled have had good reason for
wearing multi; sometimes they have been wounded
men, recently discharged often they have been stu
dents on call to the Army Naval Reserve, not yet
outfitted with uniforms they may have been vet
Grams of the refused for service in this one
or they have been youths who have tried hard to
enlist but have been refused for unapparent physi-
cal defects
Il We suggest that the Federal Government award
to young men of draft age who are in civilian
clothes for good reason button which will show the
wearer's status Thus many servicemen may be
saved embarrassment and many an honest civilian
spared humiliation and heartbreak.

THE ANTI-STRIKE LAW

The passage of the Anti-Strike Bill last week
over the Presidents veto broke the long-standing
apparent taboo against corrective labor legislation.
But to say that the law is slightly confusing is
an understatement, 4 $. .ta.
Because the final measure was largely written
on the floor it probably necessarily haphazard,
and the fact that the Administration refused to lend
hand in supplying leadership for any rational labor
legislation also helped to make it the mess it is
The law doesn't outlaw strike unless it is a
strike in plant which is operated by the Govern
inent For that reason, union that strikes against
a decision of the War Labor Board a Government
agency. can go scot free. 1t seems, however that
the principle is involved because the strike is
against Government authority in either sense.
The law also apparently gives Government
sanction to almost any strike after 30-day waiting
period and secret ballot has been taken.
1t makes it illegal for others to instigate or in
duce strikes, but not illegal for to strike, himself
On the other hand the law authorizes the War
Labor Board to subpoena witnesses granting statu-

GRANT AND LINCoLN-ls4s

On hot summer day in Wash
ington conference was held be-

The subject of the conference was
the identification of emergency We

General Grant had received COM
plants from Eastern Seaboard cities
to the effect that air raid regula-
lions are causing an increase in
automobile accidents But before
the conference was over Grant
agreed with Lincoln that the pres

changed.

suit is something he calls by the
more delicate name of compost

for fertilizing his Victory garden.
At the moment, Wallace was
standing on top OF the pile so
that he could throw some of the
manure down to cover the old pea
vines The vines had yielded their
crop for the season, and he had
torn them up by the roots, and
was adding them to the compost
pile.
He had to do something about
the soil 1t was made by dumping
fill from excavations, when neigh
boring houses were built. ''The soil
is so bad" says Mr.. Wallace, that
it won't even grow good weeds"
But it will grow good tomatoes.
Wallace has gone strong on toma-
toes. In fact, Mrs. Wallace, who
gets out every morning to work
with him before breakfast. thinks
he has too many tomato plants.
She counted them the other day,
and found there were 480.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
bat do not compel"
THURSDAY, JULY /

Benefic aspects are strong on
this first day of the month. 1t is
a fortunate planetary sway for our
armed forces.
HEART AND HOME: This is
day most favorable to the activi-
ties of women 1t is suspicious for
planning and preparing for sum-
mer recreations and special atten-
ton should be paid to boys and
girls of high school age who will
be subjected to unusual conditions
due to wartime. This summer va
cation will offer many problems in
care and guidance. Increase Of ju-
venile delinquency is presaged by
the signs which seem to warn OF
perils threatening to youth OF
substantial background and good
tradition.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Owing to
marvels in production for war
needs, reconversion of certain fac
tories that formerly we're devoted
to civilian needs will be possible
at this time. Again household APP
pliances will be obtainable and new
models of electric refrigerators,
washing machines and other labor
saving devices viii be greatly I'M
proved. Housewives who are en-
ployed in war industries will have
reason to rejoice, especially as there
will be plenty of money in the fam
lily budget to permit purchases.
NATIONAL ISSUES: AS mid
summer nears, the proper preser-
vation of food becomes of prime
concern. Home canning on the
broadest scale in history will be
speeded, but there is sign that
seems to warn that economy is as
sured by wholesale methods OF
freezing fruits and vegetables, War
time limitations will prevent the
construction of central freezing
plants in communities, especially
those of small population, but
among the Improvements in the
new order that is to follow the
war will be many public installa-
lions important to the health OF
the people.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S:
Owing to Nazi recognition of APP
preaching defeat, peace overtures
may be expected, the seers fore
cast. The new Moon of tomorrow
brings Jupiter to elimination II
what is approximately the longitude
of Berlin and Rome. Jupiter also
transits Hitler's midheaven within
the fortnight. Peace parties may
organize even in England and the
United States. There is sign reat
as presaging the growth of religious
influences which will emphasize
justice and right and antagonizt
any premature cessation of hostili-
ties. Lessons from the First Worlt
War will be effective.
Persons whose birthdate it il
have the augury of a year of gooe
fortune. Prosperity will mark bust.
ness affairs and good luck will at.
tend those who wear uniforms.
Children born on this day SHOULD
be exceedingly clever Inventors
sculptors and those who have ex-
ceptional manual dexterity belong
to this sign.
