Moonshiners Ari£ Forced to Adopt Chain Operation ;&•! 3V. -1"9 • --i ' - '/ - C>: iThimday, Nomabar 8Sf 1989 STUCK TO HER POST Illicit Distillers Are Hard Pressed for Cash in ^ v - Mountains* ATLANTA.--Pappy, the bewhiskered mountain moonshiner of the cartoons whose feud guns are rusty and his cash scarce, has resorted to "chain" operation of whisky stills in an effort to make money on a losing proposition. The southeastern division of the' internal revenue alcohol ta* unit-- "revenooers" to Pappy--disclosed that the traditional mountain distillers are hard pressed lor profit because of legal liquor and strin- *ettt enforcement. • Some of the illicit whisky makers have gone into "chain" operation because of inability to finance their ramshackle plants alone. In cases of "co-operative effort" one of the more affluent men in the community will advance money for grain and sugar needed in whisky manufacture. Then he gets a cut of the profits when the liquor has been sent to the city and sold. Recent federal raids have uncovered "chains" of as many as 10 stills.. The days of the private moonshiner who made a few gallons of native corn or rye and carefully aged it for his own consumption and occasional sale are over, according to W. H. Hearington, district supervisor of the alcohol unit. 'The Stuff Is Awful/ "Frankly, the stuff that is distilled in the mountains today is awful," Hearington said. "Many of the moonshiners won't drink their own product. "Most of the stuff is sold immediately after it is distilled because our agents are crowding the still operators too close to permit aging. The 'shine is dumped on the market almost before it is cold. And that means the quality is virtually unfit for human consumption." The purity of the native liquor which retails for about $2 a gallon is usually doubtful, Hearington said. The water used in mountain whisky comes from comparatively pure streams, but in the "low country" of the South the moonshiners often use polluted swamp or pond water. The chain system of still operation is not widespread, but agents in the district of South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Florida have uncovered recent instances of cooperative manufacturing--with all hands denying ownership of the stills to avoid heavier federal prosecution. Helps Enforcement. Federal enforcement is helped materially by reports of unusually large sugar sales. Grocers are required by law to report the sale of more than 100 pounds. According to the federal men, 100 pounds of sugar go into 100 gallons of mash, which in turn will yield about 10 gallons of whisky. The distilling equipment in most cases is inadequate. Condensers for the alcohol vapor usually are made from scrapped metal coils, and even discarded automobile radiators. Most of the illicit whisky finds its market in city slums and lowerclass areas, Hearington said, where people "will drink anything." The ^'drink-anything" type of tippler has perplexed federal agents in the South, particularly in South Carolina recently, by purchasing denatured alcohol--the rubbing type-- for drinking purposes. Denatured alcohol taken internally causes serious gastric Consequences, but the sales continue. Denatured alcohol imbibers usually temper the unpalatable liquid with soft drinl» water.

Rice Wastes as Fuel Rice wastes are utilized as fuel In Italy in an effort to save coal, according to "Industrial and Engineering Chemistry." With four pounds of rice by-products corresponding in heat value to one pound of good coal, it has been estimated that Italy could save 50,000 tons of coal. At present some thousand kilowatt-hours of electric energy, obtained through steam engines burning rice by-products in special furnaces with mobile grates, are being produced, it is reported. Since these plants are costly, they are restricted. The gasification of rice byproducts and the use of the resulting fas for driving motors have permitted the installation of 15 plants producing 1,000 horsepower. -- Blinul Man Is Farmer^ Finds Plenty to Do HUBBARD, IOWA.--Although he can scarcely remember what crops look like, Gus Duberke, 52 years old, blind for 42 years, helps his brother farm 240 acres near here.

Just Homesick for Ten,* Horse Thief, 80, Asserts LANCASTER, PA.--Eighty-yearold Joe Buzzard stood up in court recently and insisted that he had committed his latest horse theft just because he was homesick for Eastern penitentiary. Buzzard, whose 34 years in jail have included numerous sentences for horse stealing, told the court when he was arraigned for stealing a horse and buggy early this month, that he was "homesick for the old pen." "Give me twenty years or life, it's immaterial to me," he told Judge Oliver S. Schaeffer. "I believe you stole that horse just to get back," the court remarked. "Positively, your honor," Buzzard replied. » In addition to a $50 fine, he will: have from one and one-half to three years to get over his homesickness at Eastern penitentiary. , Although she recently celebrated her 112th birthday anniversary, Mrs Ellen Carroll of Clarke's Beach, New foundland, can sew without the aid of spectacles. p 'Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight' The late Rose Hartwick Thorpe wrote the poem "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight" on a slate during an arithmetic lesson when she was 17 years old.

FOR ACCESSORIES Cow Swallows Cash, Then Trouble Really Started ROME.--There is one farmer in' Italy who has learned to hate cows. The farmer, Danielo*Alghessello, recently hung up in a stall next to the cow a vest containing his wallet with 4,000 lire (<5ver $200) in the pocket. The cow seized the vest and ate it. In the hope' of recovering his money Danielo killed the cow and examined its stomach, but did not find the chewed money. So he sold tiie meat at less than cost. Now the local authorities have fined Danielo for killing a cow witfe out a license for butchering. Soft wine-colored kid is used for this costume jewelry.

Not even the releasing of Presidential booms in various camps can detract from the gravity of the government's position, ' The tax planners have an eye to the possible revenue which may be derived from profits traceable to the sale of war supplies to foreign nations. Sentiment is developing for curbing Federal expenditures next year. The reason: a Presidential campaign year when all members of the House and a third of the Senate go before the people. It may be well to remember that national defense requirements will force heavy spending, but relief and other items will be trimmed for political effect. Usually, tax measures are taboo in a campaign season. The nation-wide distribution vof a document by the A. F. of L. this week outlining their grievances against ths C. I. O. has not lessened the problems which confront the President in his efforts to force a peace between these trade union factions. William Green depicts John L. Lewis as the originator of what they call "labor's civil war." The beetle-browed C. I. O. chieftain has a bristling response. All of which places Mr. Roosevelt in the quandry of a person trying to separate two battling felines on a fence. The expose of the National Labor Relations Board, which was due this fall, will probably be delayed until spring when Congress is on the job. With western frankness Representative J. R: Murdock of Arizona emphasized the real concern of legislators i?? regard to reciprocal trade agreements now in negotiation. Murdock recently drew attention of his colleagues to the fact that disgruntled groups of citizens "will undoubtedly express their dissatisfaction through ballots."- This is typical of the agitation manifested in Congressional circles Its the State Department proceeds with trade agreements by turning a cold shoulder to the demands of affected groups. The trade agreement with Venezuela reducing excise taxes on imported crude petroleum snd fuel oil has aroused the Congressional delegations in the oil producing states, such as Texas, Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Legislators are sharpening their knives in anticipation of the State Department's appeal to them for extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act, which expires in June 1940. The solons are peeved because the Departmental negotiators do not have to face protesting groups of farmers, lumbermen oil field workers and others who feel the economic effects of lower trade barriers in favor of foreign 1 nations. Typical of the hostility toward the Hull program is the comment of Representative Carl E. Mundt of South Dakota, who feelingly confessed "there was no moon of saifity shining in 193.4 when the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act was put over." It is now clear that the reciprocal trade agreement plan will figure prominently in the party platforms at the conventions next summer. It is reported that the legislators from the farm states are more disturbed over the State Department's program than those from other areas. It is recognized that folks in rural regions take their politics more seriously than their city brethern. A week of conferences between private builders and Federal agencies has disclosed a confidence on both sides that the construction industry will be relatively stable during the early part of next year. This forecast is taken as a favorable sign. The government has poured enormous sums into the stimulating of building as a means of relieving unemployment and providing better living conditions. All leaders are in agreement that it is necessary to fight off war booms by checking rising commodity prices.
