LIGHTS t * Valter
p TRUMBULL
of NEW YORK
The more we learn of the “beer
racket” here in New York, the more
remarkable we find it It really Isn't
a racket For some time it has been,
in the main, a highly organized and
orderly business. Those engaged in it
want no trouble. Gun play, with its
attendant publicity, is the last thing
they desire.
The beer supply of New York is con
trolled by possibly six men. They are
the manufacturers and wholesalers.
The beer they furnish is of tine qual
ity, made by experts from the best ma
terials. Distribution is scientific.
Greater New York is divided into dis
trlcts, with clearly defined boundaries.
In each of these districts there is a
distributor, jobber, or middle man
call him what you please. If he at
tempts to do business outside his al
loted district, discipline is swift. Oh,
no; he is not “put on the spot” or beat
en up or anything of that sort. That
is not the manner in which big busi
ness works. Uis supply is cut off.
That leaves him an outcast. Should
he try to get rough, something might
happen to him, of course. Many en
gaged in the trade were pretty tough
citizens before brains high up showed
them there was more profit in being
business men. They are not going to
let a few “outlaws” Jeopardize their
highly comfortable living. And an out
sider who becomes obnoxious also may
be dealt with firmly.

"What was the real low down on
Legs Diamond?” 1 once asked a man
In a position to give me a correct an
swer.
“Diamond was Just a fresh mug,'' he
said, “who got the idea he could mus
cle in where he didn't belong.”
“How about Capone?" I asked.
“Capone,” he answered, “was the
front guy for smarter men.”

This same man told me that, count
Ing all types, from a room back of a
store to the elaborate establishments,
there were 50,000 speakeasies in Great
er New York. Add the proprietors
and employees of these places to driv
ers, handlers, workmen and the rest,
and you will see that the result is
quite an Industry. Os course, a great
part of the money obtained goes for
protection and graft. TTie beer men
have nothing to do with the importa
tion of hard liquor. That Is a sep
arate racket, In the hands of half a
dozen different gangs.

Considerably fewer models are com
Ing to the doors of New York artists.
Many of these girls had Jobs and mod
eled In their spare time. The extra
money they made in this manner went
for luxuries —theaters, movies and ad
dltional articles of dress they could
not otherwise afford. Now. many of
them have lost their jobs and are not
good enough at modeling to make their
entire living In that fashion. The re
suit Is that dozens of them have gone
back to the old home town. The suit
ors they regarded as too steady and
prosaic have begun to look pretty good
to them. The stock of play boys has
gone down.

They tell me that the manufactur
'ers and inventors of hair dyes have
agents who demonstrate their product
before the proprietors of beauty shops.
For this purpose they use living mod
els. These models have thus been get
ting the very finest and most careful
sort of a dying and waving job for
nothing. One of them was highly in
dlgnant the other day because the
demonstrator had not been around for
some time and her hair had grown to
the extent that it was a mixture of its
natural ami ornamental colors.

A smart, personable girl lost her po
sltion as a private secretary and
couldn’t get another. She figured her
assets as an education, a knowledge
of stenography, ami a portable type
writer. She also figured that there
must be a number of persons in a big
city who had no use for a permanent
secretary, but who hated to write or
answer letters. The only way she
knew to find them was to look up
names in the telephone book and then
try to sell her Idea by a house-to-house
canvass. Her proposition was that
she would come once a week, take dic
tation, and type letters for a dollar
an hour, with a minimum of one hour's
work. Getting the first customer was
the hardest Now her business has
worked up to $35 a week. That is to
say, she has an equivalent of five cus
tomers a day. One recommends her to
another and she is hoping to increase
her business so ns to gross SSO weekly.
The thing is, of course, to try to get
as many of her clients as possible in
one part of the city.

DAIRY
SAFEGUARDS FOR
MILKING UTENSILS
Home-Made Solutions That
Do Work Well.
Chemical solutions for sterilizing
milking machine teat cups and tubes
may be made satisfactorily at home
and much cheaper than they can be
bought, says Special Bulletin No. 138,
issued by the agricultural extension
division at Minnesota University farm.
This bulletin, entitled “Care of the
Milking Machine,” gives directions for
making and using about a half dozen
of these solutions and also discusses
other important points on the care of
milking machines.
One of the common solutions used Is
calcium hydrochlorite made by mixing
12 ounces of fresh chloride of lime
with a gallon of fresh cold water. This
should be done in a 2-gallon covered
crock, by first adding just enough wa
ter to the chloride of lime to make a
paste. This should be stirred well and
the rest of the water added. The mix
ture should be allowed to stand over
night in a cool place. A clear green
ish-colored liquid, which will appear
above the precipitated lime, Is the part
to be used. This liquid should be
poured off carefully, siphoned off, or
filtered through a tine muslin or strain
er cloth. For use, one quart should
be mixed with 20 gallons of water.
This home-made solution, says the
bulletin, is just as effective as the com
mercial hypochlorite solutions and
chloramine powders and costs very
much less.
Pinto Beans Substitute
for Cottonseed Meal
Uy feeding locally grown pinto beans
in place of cottonseed meal in his grain
ration for dairy cows, M. C. James,
Parker (Colo.) dairyman, obtained
good results.
Only 6 to 7 per cent of the ration
consisted of split beans when he first
started feeding them. He gradually in
creased the amount of beans as the
cows became accustomed to them, to
20 per cent by weight, according to a
report by A. 11. Tedmon, Arapahoe
county extension agent, to the Colo
rado Agricultural college.
The other 80 per cent of the ration
was made up of a mixture of equal
parts of corn, oats and wheat.
“The cows like the beans as soon as
they are used to them," says Tedmon.
“Beans will thus replace cottonseed
meal and help cheapen the ration,
especially when you have the beans
and have to buy the meal.”
Costly to Feed Lice
With present prices for milk, no
man can afford to feed lice which may
be infesting his dairy cows. In fact,
it is not necessary to put up with them
because attention given at the right
time In the right way will control
them.
There are three kinds of lice com
monly found on cattle. One type Is
known as blue lice which get their
food by sucking blood. Then there is
a smaller family of red lice which feed
on skin and secretions from the skin
and cause severe Irritation. Another
type, sometimes spoken of as gray lice,
also sucks blood.
There are a number of treatments
which can be given for lice. One is
to spray thoroughly every ten days
with a non-irritating animal spray pre
pared for this purpose. It. is recom
mended that bedding, stalls, and adja
cent walls also be sprayed to kill any
lice that may have left the cattle and
that, if the weather is cold, animals
be left in the stable until they are
dry.—American Agriculturist.

COUNTY fWL, ALAmO, GfeORGIA
FIND ANCIENT CAVE
HOMES IN ARKANSAS
Expert Digs Up Skeletons of
Primitive People.
Washington.—Remains of a primi
tive cave-dwelling population have
been found in the Ozark hills of north
ern Arkansas, it has been announced
at the Smithsonian institute.
The discovery of traces of an an
cient population, which cannot be
positively identified with any known
aboriginal American people but has
some resemblance to the so-called
Ozark bluff dwellers, was made by
Winslow M. Walker, anthropologist
of the Smithsonian staff. In the
largest of the hill caverns he uncov
ered ten human burials, the bones
probably representing 12 persons.
Six were very young children and
Infants. The bones of a dog w’ere
found near one of the child burials
in a position which indicated careful
interment with the forelegs crossed
over the hindlegs. This is Interpret
ed as indicating that among this prim
itive people the dog was kept as a pet.
Beside the children there were two
men, a woman and an adolescent boy.
Numerous artifacts of stone. Hint,
bone, and shell were found, together
with fragments of a crude, undec
orated, flat-bottomed pottery. There
were no traces of wooden objects or
textiles of any kind, but spear and
Javelin heads, knives, drills, and scrap
ers were numerous, all made from
native Hint and showing rather crude
workmanship.
Shells Used as Spoons.
There were hammers and grinders
made of waterworn stones with little
artificial shaping. Mussel shells used
as spoons were found inside box tur
tle shells which had been scraped out
to serve as bowls. The most unique
object found was part of an antler
tip notched near the end which was
part of an "atlatl" or throwing-stick
used for hurling darts. This is a
more primitive weapon than the bow
and arrow’.
Nearly three weeks was required
to clear this cavern of the ash, char
coal, and dirt which in some places
bad accumulated to a depth of 5 feet.
At two localities there were true
petroglyphs — pictures and symbols
carved on the surface of rocks. At a
third site, on a wall at the back of
a rock shelter, Walker found pictures
painted with red ochre. Humans,
snakes, tracks, sun, moon, stars, and
unrecognizable forms were depicted.
Pottery, flint, and bone fragments in
a pile of ashes and refuse under the
rock shelter Indicate strongly that
these figures were the work of In
dians.
Some curious rocks bearing petro
glyphs were found in a field several
miles away. There were 33 of these
rocks with only their flat surfaces
exposed at the level of the ground.
On these surfaces were inscribed geo
metrical figures—circles, combinations
of circles, and dots within circles.
Time and weather had so nearly ob
literated the carvings that It was
necessary to dust fine sand Into them
to bring them out clearly. In addl- !
tldn to purely geometric designs there |
w’ere realistic representations of hu- ;
man hands and footprints and of I
tracks of animals. Walker believes
that they were made with a ceremo
nial purpose and may constitute the
records of clan or tribal gatherings.
Curious Rock Carvings.
Petroglyphs also were found on the
walls of an enormous sandstone cave, i
They were carved Into the soft rock |
as deep as half an Inch in some places. I
There W’ere realistic figures of men
and turtles, birds, and other animals,
some geometric figures of diamonds,
straight bars and disks, nnd—most sug
gestive of all —numerous representa
tions of conventionalized human be
ings, and an animal strongly suggest
ing a horse.
These cave-wall carvings have been |
known to local people for some years I
and have given rise to a legend to
the effect that this cave was visited
by Spaniards who buried some of
their gold there and left the markings
as a cryptic record. There has been I
much fruitless diggings in the floor i
of the cave In search of this “hidden |
treasure.”
The most surprising thing about |
these sites is that although they are
within a hundred miles of each other I
no two of them exhibit the same type
of figures. The inference is that |
each wms made by a different tribe [
and perhaps for a different purpose. |
Both the Osage and the Cherokee are |
i known to have lived in this region,
i and some light may be thrown on the i
problem by determining whether or I
not they made rock pictures.

It Didn’t Take
A DEPRESSION
to make electric rates come down
The average price of electricity in homes served by this
Company is 26.3 per cent lower than it was in 1913.
It is approximately 35 per cent lower than it was in the
post-war days of 1918-20, when high prices for labor and ma
terials forced it to the ONLY rise it has taken in its history.
It is 30 per cent lower than in 1927, the first year of operation
of the present Georgia Power Company.
Glance at the average prices since 1927: L r
Year Average Price per
kilowatt hour (•)
1927 7.59 cents
1928 7.17 cents
1929 6.29 cents
1930 5.73 cents
1931 5.36 cents
12 mos. ending
May, 1932 5.27 cents
(♦) There’s nothing mysterious about a “kilowatt hour"—it's simply the measure
of electricity, by which you buy your current, as you do milk by the quart,
flour by the sack, sugar by the pound, cloth by the yard.
Sensational recent drops in the general cost of living all have
taken place since 1929. But electric rates didn’t need an economic

A CITIZEN WHEREVER WE SERVE
THE IN-BETWEEN SEASON.
THERE Is a period of from a
month to six weeks in May
and June when the supply of
fresh vegetables from the South
has been exhausted and the home
grown truck garden vegetables
from the North have not yet be
gun to find their way into the
markets.
Asparagus, for instance Is just
beginning to appear, but the price
is so high that It might as well
be reposing in its earthy bed so
far as the household of average
means is concerned—which Is no
body’s loss, as canned asparagus
Is concededly better and surpris
ingly inexpensive. It is Impos
sible to get fresh peas in the
northern states until after the
middle of June, but this, too, is
little to be regretted since canned
peas, including the delicious
vacuum-packed varieties, are a
food with which not even a Brll
lat-Savarin could find fault.
1 Anticipate the Shortage
In anticipation of this period of
shortage of fresh vegetables the
housewife will do well to stock
the shelves of her pantry with
plenty of canned tomatoes, corn,
stringless beans and lima beans,
peas, carrots, beets, asparagus,
spinach, Brussels sprouts, squash
and turnips. And while she is
about it she might as well add
some artichoke hearts and mush
rooms tor Sundays and holidays.
It is often possible to save quite
a bit by buying canned vegetables
by the dozen or in the specially
priced assortments which many
shops are now offering. This sim
plifies the family budgeting be
cause it is thus possible to tell in
advance Just what must lie al
lowed for vegetables, whereas the
prices of fresh vegetables vary.
Save Time and Toll
But the saving of dollars and
cents Is not all. By using canned
vegetables the housewife is re
lieved from much drudgery. Peel
ing, paring, cutting and culling
are eliminated, and the time thus
saved may be devoted to I
preparing more interesting r.
dishes or it can be given /
over to other pursuits. / F
It may even be possible / | !
to accomplish both ends. L--

crisis to bring them down. With one exception,
the trend has been STEADILY downward. In

residential rate was reduced more than 10 per
cent. Today it is lower than ever before in
history.
