Even The Kitchen Sink
‘4B Loony Larceny Loot
BY M. G. PATTINGTON
NEA Special Correspondent
House breakers who broke into
a Minneapolis home and took
nothing but the kitchen sink head
this year’s collection of loony
larceny.
But these household pilferers
who reversed the old saw were
pikers compared with other items
burgled and lifted during 1948,
according to NEA’s annual round
up of unusual thefts.
In Chicago, for instance, light
fingered but heavy-hauling crooks
made off with six and a half tons
of cement from a busy loading
platform—while a watchman was
on duty. In the same city, thieves
used an auto sales agency’s hoist
to lift a two-ton safe into one of
the agency’'s brand new cars, and
disappeared with both.
Hungry housebreakers in Roch
ester, N. Y., ransacked the whole
house, and left with nothing more
than a chicken leg and a letter;
in Surrey, England, they passed
up furs, money, liquor and jewel
ry to stal an apple and an orange.
That sort of thing doesn’t go in
East Millinocket, Me., where a
famished theief took a bite from
a piece ‘of salami; police traced
him by his toath prints because
he had a broken chopper.
In fact, burglary ‘is getting so
troublesome it’s enough to drive
a man to drink. Like the one in
Los Angeles, whq broke into an
apartment, tied up the housewife
and began looking for loot. Two
visitors arrived, and he had to
stop and tie them up. The bread
man knokced, and he had to be
roped. The baby cried, and the
robber had to release one of the
women to feed him. Then some
body else showed up. The dis
couraged thief rushed for the
nearest bar, where police found
him. His swag: a salf-empty bot
tle of milk.
In the pants and pocket divis
ion, a Philadelphia victim awoke
after a nap in the subway to find
his trousers missing. A man in
Oklahoma City surrendered his
clothes to a thief, whe later
mailed him the pawn tickets. An
absent-minded robber in Indian
apolis emptied a man’s wallet and
thought hed’d be nice and return
the billforld, but handed over his
own by mistake; it had his name
and picture in it. The result was
just what voi’d expect. o
A Portland, Ore., policewoman
released a suspectea shoplifter
too soon; a few minutes later she
discovered her wallet and badge
were gone. And a couple of de

'Homemaker Wins
.
Kitchen Contest
BARNESVILLE, Ga. Oec. 24—
Mrs. Euel M. Clark, Lamar Coun
ty homemaker, will be declared
1948 state winner in the Kitchen
Improvement Contest at a lunch
eon here according to an an
nouncement by Miss Willie Vie
| Dowdy, home improvement spe
lcialist for the State Extension
Service. She will have her choice
| of a home freezer, an electric re
frigerator, an electric range, au
tomatic washing machine or an
electric water heater as her prize.
Mrs. Clark competed in the
contest with winners from the
five other Extension Service dis-'
| tricts in the state. All the winners |
{ were feted at luncheons recentlyl
,and received washing machines
{ as district prizes.|
| Approximately 1,400 rural wo
.men participated in the Kkitchen
| contest this year. It was sponsor
led by the State Home Demonstra
!tion Club Council and the Georgia |
!Power Company and conducted!
by the Extension Service. |
Lowest Score |
When Mrs. Clark entered her
kitchen in the improvement con
! test, she received the lowest score
|in the county. Two years ago her |
jentire house was nardly more|
|than a frame where the family|
| camped while making repairs. {
' The Home Service Department '
jof the Georgia Power Company !
[and Miss Mary A. Brown, home !
demonstration agent, assisted her .
in planning the new Kkitchen and
the family helped with repairs, |
]doing all the wiring, plumbing, '
building and painting. |
| She bought one new major ap
| pliance, an electric water heater.
!Including this, her total expenses
| for remodeling amounted to $350.
l Mrs. Clark says that sh e does
’not plan to stop with her new
new Kitchen, but has entered her
living room in the 1949 Living
" Iwoomn Improvement Contest and
' is already busy at making it as
ipleasant and comfortable as her
kitchen.
! HAVE WIDE RANGE
The widest-ranging animals on
the North American continent are
the . muskrat and the raccoon, each
being found in '47 states. The for
' mer is not found in Florida, and |
|the latter shuns Montana. :
I _—
STRAWBERRY CULTURE l
Strawberry plans grow close to!
the surface of the soil where cold |
air settles and unless there is suf
ficient slope for drainage, the
danger of late spring frost is very |
great. '
WHOLE WHEAT BREAD :
A "pound loaf of white ‘“en-:
riched” bread contains less and
poorer quality protein than a
lp()ufld loaf of whole wheat bread. ,
1t takes about eight slices of white
bread to get as much protein as:
seven glices of whole wheat bread
contain. ° . !
SEASONING MEAT DISHES I
Seasoning is especially impor
tant for meat-extending dishes.
Meat, loaves and other dishes
which combine meat with bland
foods such as macaroni, rice or po
tatoes depend upon. skillful sea
soning for their goodness. i
Built in 1610, the Palace of the!
Cavernors, in Santa Fa N M is
| the oldest public building in the
United States. . i
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
tectives detected (soon enough,
this time) that a woman they
were questioning had picked their
pockets while they talked.
You can match thats sort o
brazen burglary with the man
who stole a police car because he
liked the two-tone color job, the
fellow in Syrdney, Australia, who
stole the ambulance that was tak
ing him to the hospital, or the
man in Kan ssaCity who paid for
a check protecting machine with
a bum check.
Some of the larcenists got paid
basck in bum checks, too. In
Hamiiton, Wash., hard-working
yveggs tunnelled through the vault
floor of the State Bank; when
they got there, 'they found the
bank had been out of business
four years. \
In Kansas City, they smashed a
radio store window, ignored four
good radios and made off with
the only dummy set in the dis
play.
They were lucky. A Paris pur
loiner grabbed a handsome leath
er case and ran off with it. The
contents; a libe-nine-foot phython.

Bootleggers’ Skies Darken
MOONSHINE'S BRIGHT
AGAIN DOVWN SOUTH
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
" WASHINGTON. —(NEA)—The
_bottled-in-the-barn business is
booming. Moonshining is mush
irooming. And bootlegging is
'back.
Illegal stills in the U, S. have
increased production a&bout 50
percerit over last year, and, the
business is still expanding.
During October, the latest
monih for which the Treasury
| Department has figures, 619 stills
were raided. They were produc
ing 21,709 gallons of booze a day,
undiluted with federal iaxes.
More than 700 persons were ar
rested and ciose to 31,000,000
worth of proverty and equip
ment were seized.
Several reasons were given for
the bootleg boom. High taxes on
degal liquor encourage the sale
of the cheap, bootleg stuif. Sugar
has suddenly become plentiful
;and cheaper, and so have corn
and ogher grains which go into
the product. Copper (übing is
now becoming readily available
‘ifor the first time since before the
, war.
| But the moonshine business
ain’t what it used to be before
'the war, thanks mainly to the
iCoast Guard’s airplanes. Lonely
woods and mountain sides no,
longer ofter the protection they
used to give the Illegal distillers.
It's pretty easy to spot a still
from the air. Smoke rising in the
. middle of a thickly wooded area
.and storage cans are a give
away. If the moonshiners rae
~wise and cover up these signs,
their plant can be detected by
tell-tale roads leading to the
spot.
! An observer in the plane di
irects agents.on the ground by
‘radio. Walkie-talkies are , used
.when the chase goes on foot. This
{methoa is so effective that tha
{man in the plane can lead agents
ion the ground to the hideouts
{the mocnshiners run to as they
-flee the raiders.
! On one raid a plane sometimes
‘spots as many as' 10 stills. In
some areas there are regular pa
trols, and raids are planned after
jthe plane spots a moonshiner’s
cutfit.
So far, according to Treasury
officials, this growing business
has been confined to the activi
lties of small syndicates, two or
'three men with less than $5,000
capital. One small still can be
I started with an automobile and
lsloo. Syndicate operators usually
‘lhave four or five stills producing
’in one county. No large inter~
state shipments of moonshine
} have been attempied.
| Raids seldom flush the ring
"leaders. That takes hard detec
tive work.
! Most of the increased activity
jhas been in the South. Alabama,
i Florida, Georgia and South 'Car
lolina accounted for more than
ihalf of the stills seized during
" October.
' Treasury enforcement officers
are hopeful that the current in
| crease is only a temporary spurt.
{They are managing to close up
"the stills as fast as they open.
! The experts scy that bootleg
ging isn't profitable enough with
‘fimes so prosperous to- attract
the big-time crocks and syndi
cates, but if a depression should
increase the market for cheap,
‘bootleg booze, the big gangs
\might come pack into the picture
fagain.
f A form of mucilage ideally suit
ed for postage stamps is made
from the starch contained in sweet
notatoes.
