Liquor Buyer Permit Listed In New Bill A feature of the state liquor store bill Introduced last week in the general assembly was what is known as "the Ontario permit system," by which all liquor buyers must have permits comparable to drivers' licenses. The permits would be non-transferable and could not be issued to min-era or others prohibited by law from purchasing alcoholic beverages. Backers of the bill estimated that the state could realize $150,000 additional revenue by including provision for such a plan in a state store system. Introduced by Senators Brltton, of Williamsburg, nad Johnson, of Kershaw, newcomers this year to the legislature, the state store bill would create an alcoholic beverage control board along the lines of the Virginia administrative system. Composed of three members, the board would have entire supervision over the sale of all | alcoholic beverages In the state. lx)cal option, now a demand of the "dry" forces, would be permitted under the bill, which, however, would allow the licensing of distilleries at a production tax of 1 per cent, less than , the 5 per cent tax -imposed by the state of Kentucky. The measure would set up machinery for taking over the entire retail and wholesale liquor business now operating in the state by September 1. Present liquor licenses would be extended from July 1 when they would ordinarily expire, until September 1 to give dealers opportunity to dispose of their stocks. The state would buy all active stock not In excess of the dealers' January 1 Inventories that remained unsold by the effective date of the law. In most features the bill would set up a system closely akin to that In effect in the state of Washington, proponents said. They claimed Washington realized 15,798,995 revenue from liquor last year to $2,413,021 realized by South Carolina with a license store system. Introduction of the bill has been hanging fire for* several months altho the measure only reached the hopper at this late date. Proponents, who expected introduction in the senate to be followed by house introduction, said they hoped the legislators might turn to the bill as a solution of the state's fiscal troubles.

Tales of the furry fin-flippers have circulated here since Zebulon Pike first glimpsed the Kocky mountains. Old-timers swear that trout with fur plainly visible on their sides once were numerous. A request for proof of the fur-bearing-trout story was received recently from Platte, Kan., by Wilbur Foshay, secretary of the Salida chamber of commerce. Said the Kansas request: "Answer collect if you have fur-bearing trout in the Arkansas river." Foshay, after a long search, unearthed a picture and mailed it to I the curious Kansun. Foshay said the photograph, which shows a large trout with an even distribution of pelts over its entire body, was taken by a pioneer Salida photographer. "The legend is that the photographer snapped the picture to prove to coming generations the story of the fur-bearing fish," Foshay said. "The pioneers say he was not a trick artist?and that fish with fur once were, a fact. ^11 I know is what I see in the picture.17" j Pioneers have an answer to the question of why the strange fish no longer are seen in the Arkansas. ' "I don't know whether they were mistaken for beavers and exterminated by trappers," they say, "or 1 whether the flow of hot springs into I the river has caused them to shed their fur. If there are any left they're not as fur-bearing as they were. Not near." Rector Builds Sailboat So Flock Cannot Escape BARRlNGTON, MASS.?Reverend Richard Mortimer-Maddox, sea-going rector of St. John's church, has built a sailboat so that he can "keep up with his flock." "Since coming here, I have been I concerned because many members of my vestry and congregation have | sailed away at Saturday noon nearly every summer week-end," he says. "I now hope to be in a position to chase after them if necessary." The rector began building the boat three years ago with tools lent by a neighbor. Work was delayed when the neighbor moved away, but was resumed this summer when another set of tools was lent the clergyman by a vestryman. The craft, a 15-foot Portuguese sharpie, one of the earliest types of New England fishing vessels, has been built in the rectory yard in spare time away from the preparations of Sunday sermons. A clothes line was used to hold the sides, and the centerboard was made from a piece of boiler plate from an abandoned mill. The rector plans to have a catboat rig on the craft. Skull Stretching Effective With Child in Georgia AUGUSTA, GA. ? Four-year-old Mary Ennis Noonan went home to Savannah with a normal, elastic skull after surgeons at the University of Georgia corrected an omission of nature that might have led to the girl's death. Mary Ennis was born with a skull in one piece. There were no articulations to stretch and permit development of the brain. As she grew, she suffered excruciating headaches. Surgeons cut out a section of her skull and literally "cracked it" to provide the lines that nature had neglected. A few days later a corresponding section of the other side of her head received the same treatment. Four days after the second operation, Mary Ennis was sitting up in bed, playing with toys and without an ache in her jig-saw head. Science Puts Out Tongue At Horn-Blowing Drivers WASHINGTON.?Science supplied motorists with an answer to the horntooting motorist who thinks he owns the highways. David O. Wilson, of Santa Monica, Calif., has invented a tongue sticker-outer calculated to express full contempt for tooters. The United States patent office gave the invention its approval. it is a combination of a light, a horn and a protruding tongue to be attached to the rear of the car. The face of the device resembles a clown mask. It is operated from the front seat by means of a button on the dashboard. A light illuminates the features of the mask, the mouth opens and a tongue is protruded in an insultingly realistic manner. The horn blows with as close an imitation of a razzing noise as one could desire. Bull Wreclu Two Trains I LACROSSE, IND ?A 1,500-pound red shorthorn btall was responsible | for wrecking two trains on the Logansport-Chicago division of the Pennsylvania railroad. The bull wandered onto the railroad's right of way and was hit by a freight. The engine and 30 cars were derailed. An hour later a passenger train, detouring past the wreckage,' backed into an open switch and three cars were derailed. No one was injured. The null died. tf-jsr . ..

I | THE KENTUCKY ' DERUY I Part One > Hy the time this actios of articles on Tho Kentucky l>crhy appears iu tho newspapers, the sweets ami the hitters of thoa,. horse races will have! been forgot by everybody except the few winners ami the lucky jockeys ami the horses themselves 1 happened to be a member of a! party of ^ persons, all skilled physli clans and surgeons except poor me, who attended the races. I have never ! been more thun a patient and a recipient of their skill and their bill, but they had something to do with me even though 1 was a fairly well man. We drove the 600 miles to the Derby In a few hours. While enroute, we enjoyed the scenery, some hot dogs, a few soft drinks and an occasional hard one, hut not enough to Inert, as none of us drink ut all of that stuff (the persons we referred to Just then were the hitch-hikers we picked up down the line that weren't so particular). By the time we arrived In Louisville, we had organized our party. We appointed a fine fellow, one of our 4, as cashier. We gave him nearly all of the money we had. He paid our bills, told us what to buy and what not to buy, selected our food, told ub where to go and why, looked after the parking and storing of our car, and as a matter of fact?he boBsed us with .an iron hand. We found a place to sleep after being pushed and shoved and elbowed all over Louisville for about 3 hours. The place we stopped at had a very attractive name. It looked allright from tho front, and we saw other folks who acted like they were stopping there, so wo traded with the man at the desk, but he seemed mighty Independent, and apparently he didn't give a hurrah whether we bought his room or slept in the park or stood up against a wall all night. Everybody was on hand for the Derby, and we were Just about as excited as any"body else.- In fact, we bought 4 soft drinks in such a hurry once, we never waited for our 6c In change. (But this 5-cent drink business took place down town, and not at tho Derby). Beforo we exhausted ourselves in the crowd, we bought 2 big newspapers and began to study the horses to bet on. We had driven 600 miles to put some money on tho winners, and we weren't going into that thing blindfolded. We had agreed to betj $2 each per day, meaning that our total bets would aggregate $16. We of course expected to win at least $ 1 ,000, with our $16. One of the boys had already got 6 tips oi) 2 certain animals, and we had got a few tips before we left home. We had $2 to, bet for a friend also?who had to stay at home and work for a living. THE KENTUCKY DERBY (Part Two) Tho hotel man had a boy show us to oui; room. It was a large room on the second floor. We were glad that! we were put no higher, as this hotel ( had no elevator. The room evidently had been a parlor room back in 1876, and possibly as late as 1890. But It was a bed-room during the Derby. To get to the bath-room, all you had to do was: Walk down the hall 7 doors, turn to your right, go 4 more doors, turn to your left, and "thar she (the bathroom) blowed." This was a big bath-room. Had 2 showers in it, but no towels or soap or anything. Tho hot-water spigot had gone dry. The cloth that was to hang between the shower and the front had disappeared. I think the boy said somebody took it down during the World war and used it to spread over a cot In France. The floor had been tiled 'way back yonder, but the tile blocks were scattered all about, so we didn't bother with them except when they got wedged between our toes, etc. The hotel man charged us only $17 for this room per night; the regular price for samel sans Derby, was only $3.60, Including the 2 double beds and the far-away bathroom. This room had running water* in it, but when it ran?It ran in a little stream about] the size of a 1910 knitting needle. We| found hot water one morning In tho cold water spigot, but there was only enough of this precious hot water for one of us to shave, so Dr. W. used 1L The mirror over the lavatory made a fellow look like he was crying when he gazed Into It. Thia hotel, meaning the one we had Invested $17 lit, did not serve meals at all. That was In ItB favor. There were no telephones In the room to bother the guests, but our room had an electric button on the door Jam 3 near the hall. All you had to do to get a bell-hop was to push the button for 10 minutes and then go down talra and tell the clerk to send up a boy with some water. Ho said It ran*; all right during 11101 and 1U04. Wo used both of the towels in this room the first night, but they weren't any good the second night; they got badly soiled, somehow or other. As one member of the party tine) couldn't sleep with nobody, we hired a cot for only $1 extra. It was a nice army cot. like Grant used around Richmond. The pad they put on It was about 2 inches thick and the cobs In It had been cut up Into small pieces instead of full-sized cobs. The pillow had only 7 feathers In It, and they poked thru all the time. The big holes In the carpet were almost hidden by my cot. When I got up the next morning my back looked like u waffle iron, and all the skin was missing from both of my elbows. But we were mighty lucky to get a nice place to stop at like that, so we were told by some friends. THE KENTUCKY DERBY (Part Three) , We attended all of the pre-Derby Day races which were held the day before and the day before that. We never lost anything during the 7 races on Thursday except some time and 60 cents admission to the Downs. We picked Homo mighty fast horReB, but as no money was put up, our selections didn't amount to anything. Nobody has ever tried to describe folks who attend these races. Nothing in the world matters while a person is in Louisville for the Derby. The night before Derby Day was a mixture of New Orleans Mardi Gras and the night before the Sugar Bowl contest. Everybody who wasn't plumb wild was stone crazy. One thing about the Kentucky Derby is . . . you dou't have to use any manners, table or otherwise; you don't have to respect tho rights of others? because they certainly don't respect yours; you eat anything you can get, pay what they ask for it, drink anything you can get hold of In public, blow smoke in anybody's eyes who might have them near enough for that purpose and?to tell the truth, there .ain't no restraint put on anybody at the Derby, j The reason the saloons were not closed at mid-night according to law was: The owners of the saloons didn't want to look up 200 or 300 persons for the balance of the night who were having a good time. There was no possible chance to get even half of the folks outside much less all of them. Somebody told us that she heard that a large number of the peo pie *4ept In the saloons, leaning against each other ami against the wall, or wherever It was possible, lying down flat was Indulged in. The rest of them walked about all night, those that could walk. There wasn't any roughness and rowdy-Ism; everybody was having a good time of his own, as well as her own, and little things Bimply didn't count. If I.ouisvllle could have a Derby 4 or 6 times a year, she aud the State of Kentucky could abolish tho property tax, cut out the sales tax, reduce the license tax 60 per cent, ignore the inheritance tax, and double the income tax and not hurt anybody, it certainly looks like pari inutuel gambling is almost legal enough for Uncle Sam to indulge in for a few years and pny the public debt. We went to bed early Thursday night, between midnight and 3 a. m. We wanted to get rested up good for tho derby races. There was so much noise and other kinds of fuss, folks who could hear at all didn't have a chance in the world to sleep a wink till after daylight, hut it didn't bother me at all. That mattress and that $3.60 room for $17.00 are the things that kept ine out of the Anns <>f Morpheus. We got most all of our clothes on by 8:30 and went down stairs and scrambled for 46 minutes in a cafeteria nearby for breakfast, dinner and supper?all in one?as we were going to tho Derby that day. Folks don't eat much nt tho races. (To He Continued Next Week) , Rev. E. C.
