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.

(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.

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,

f familiar smell, had made the children
! drunk and that maybe some wonder.
ful process had been discovered by

*lde the candy. Samphos were sent to
T Raleigh, tests were applied and State

"What made the Charlotte school

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.
