JJkCK OF MONEY MAY ? SAV E BOOTLEGGERS. | ??? Thousand* of Alleged Law Violators Aided by Let-Up in Enforcement. "Washington, May 22?Thousands of bootleggers may escape punishment for violation of the liquor laws as a result of the furlough of 700 federal prohibition agenta until July 1, says Commissioner Kramer. In any event, he added, many of the cases will have to be continued over the forty days, which will add to the conges- . tion of already crowded court dockets. Most of the government's import- , ant witnesses in the liquor cases now I'wure nit- courts, air. ivruiuer explained, are the agents who worked up the evidence against the defend- j ants. Most of these men, lie said, ( would return to their lioiucs. making . it necessary either to subpoena them and pay their way to the places of ' trial or continue the cases. At present, Mr. Kramer said, it is too soon to gauge the effect on the illegal liquor traffic which may result 1 from the loss of 700 agents for forty!1 days, because of the lack of funds to j * pay rneir salaries. However, ne as-j" serted, the cut would hurt the prohi- ; bition enforcenieut unit in every way and set back if not undo the work done in organizing the force. 1 Millions Hnvtf Keen Lost. "Millions have been lost," he said, 1 "in an attempt to save a few hundred thousand dollars." Mr. Kramer said he could not pro- 1 phesy whether there would be greater ' bootlegging activity over the couutrv ' during the forty-day let-off of most ' of the government agents, but he in dicated he expected some increase of 1 lawlessness. So far as real whiskey is concerned, ' Mr. Kramer said, the supply in the ' country could be controlled at the sources by restrictions on withdraw- ' als from warehouses, and that any 1 trouble to be expected would come from smuggled liquors and the use 1 of alcohol diverted to illegal pur puses. ? o BIHD LANGUAGE. (The following pretty little bird story, clipped from the current issue of the Literary Digest, is from the ( pen of C. A. David, a cousin of Dr. J. H. David, and well-known writer and cartoonist:) Tlie Partridge Children and their Mothei'. !The yellow, fuzzy partridge babies are among the best-behaved of the little woods children, we are informed. From the minute they step out of ( the egg shells until they are big cuuuku tu ieiive uuuie ana support 1 themselves, they mind every word ? their mother says, and don't have to '< be told twice. "If you don't want to i b6 beaten up," says their wise mother, "you do just as you're told," for she knows all about the owls and hcwks and foxes and snakes and 'possums that are always on the lookout for a delicate bite. Just how she 1 trains her children is told by C. A. i David in a story quoted from The Christian Observer, in the "Alabama i Bird Day Book." This bird book is s published by the Alabama Depart- J ment of Conservation for the schoolchildren of the State, and is made up of poems and brief illustrated articles about birds and little stories 1 like this one of the partridge mother and her babies: She has a different call an d a different tone for all occasions, and it ' is not long before the children learn I them all and obey each one instantly. If the mother saw the shadow of a; hawk, she would quickly call out. I "Kwit! kwit!" whic h meant in par-; l tridge talk, "Run! run," and in a'< second they would all be squeezing[under her wings. Then she would teach them how to hide when there,t wasn't anything to hide under. If shejsaw a fox or one of t!iO:-e dreadful hit- ,f mans, she would call out, "\V-r-r-!" which meant hide, and hide quick, and the little yellow balls would just melt out of sight, and you could not tell lor the life of you what had become of them. When all danger seemed past, she would say very sofll,r "V T-rw,* ?! -- >/, niiiuii, u? uvuiy partridge knows, means, "All right, you can come out now," and soon they would bc gathered about the mother as if nothing had happened. One little fellow crawled from under a leaf, another deemed to conn; to life from a bunch of grass; another came into view on a piece of bark, where he I had flattened himself; and still an' other came front under a root. Each one had instantly hidden in or under the thing that was nearest when their mother gave the warning and never so much as moved a muscle or winked an eye. Suppose little partridges jr did not mind their mothers, but stop :m iu hbk wnyr how many do K you supposed would live to be grown? ! ? She also takes them out in the fields i * and shows them what things are good to eat and what they must nev; K er touch. She tells them that fat ^ white ants' eggs ore splendid and that 1 young grasshoppers are thc best ever. :| ^ . "LIKKERED" CANDY A JOKE. If > \ ??? Recently some Charlotte school . children showed all signs of being drunk after eating some candy brought by the father of enfc of them from Chicago. Charlotte health au' if thorities concluded that the candy, . which when broken gave out the old f familiar smell, had made the children ! drunk and that maybe some wonder. ful process had been discovered by | which "likker" had been locked inJfc *lde the candy. Samphos were sent to T Raleigh, tests were applied and State [:" Chemist Allen deposes and says not *' * trace of alcohol was found. So "What made the Charlotte school I ahlldren drunk?'* remains an unsol| Ted question. L y??wt. . 1 iU-'ffRgffM THE DILLON HER4 S1LVERTOWNS INCLUDED IN TI1E 20 PER CENT PItlCE REDUCTIONS. Motorists will all be glad to know that the famous Sllvertown Cord Anti-Skid, Safety Tread Tires are included in the recent 20 per cent price reduction which brought tire prices back to pre-war basis. Among tires Sllvertown is the name that instantly conveys the thought of the highest duality. Motor car manufacturers and dealers arc quick to emphasise 10 their prospects that their ears are equipped with Silvertowns, knowing that neither explanation nor argument is necessary. This reduction brings Goodrich prices to u point 15 per cent below the pre-war schedules, as represented by the 1913 level. It is rather startling to find that in 1910 tire prices were 115 per cent higher than the Goodrich prices today. Mr. Herbert HooVesr, Secretory of Soninierce, has recently suggested hat when price reductions are made present prices should be shown, ;ompared with the prices on same irticles one year ago. In the case of Goodrich this would show that last November tires were reduced about1 15 per cent and on May 2nd Goodrich reduced prices on every size and uyie 01 meir ures including buver:own 20 per cent. A tangihlc expression of the great?r mileage service now being built into tires is reflected by the higher 3asi? of adjustment generally used >y the leading companies. Thus, if a tire proves defective today it is adjusted, under the Goodrich plan, on the basis of 6,000 miles if it is a Fabric,, ana 8,000 miles if it is of Tord construction. Contrast this with lhe adjustment basis in use a few years ago, i. e-. 3,500 miles, and it is easy to comprehend the great progress made in tire manufacture. It is not a far-fetclied conclusion to say that tires today give from 50 percent to 100 per cent greater mileage than they did a few years ago. Therefore, if the tire companies were selling mileage today at the 1915 price level, tiros would actually cost from $5.00 to $25.00 more than at present. The conclusion is obvious, therefore, that based on compnrative service tires cost less today than ever before. Tile rubber industry is to be complimented on its rapid progress toward normal. It represents an earnest effort to meet the wishes of the Ad ministration ana tne general pudiic in the establishment of lower price levels 011 which all classes of trade can unite and transact business. The price reduction campaign instituted by Goodrich has received the endorsement of motorists, dealers md the press?as an economic move in tune with the spirit of the times. o CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEES.
