Whisky Buried Deep in the Bay How Canadian Smugglers Cached Wholesale Quanti ties of "Booze." BROUGHT FROM VANCOUVER Arrests In Seattle Cause Breakup of Big Ring Trips Between Seat tie and Vancouver Were Made Under Cover of Darkness. Seattle, Wash. Watery depths of Elliott bay formed the hiding place In which o liquor smuggling ring each ml wholesale quantities of Canadian whis ky brought by boat from Vancouver prior to tho arrest of four of Its mem bers, according to disclosures made by Lieut. E. 0. Collier, head of tho police dry squad, says a recent Issue of tho Scuttle I'ost-Intelllgcnccr. Lieutenant Collier inudo public tho Information regarding tho ring follow ing the sentencing of two of Its mem bers In federal court and tho falluro of tho launch operated by tho gang to arrive at Its customary placo In keep ing with tho schedulo planned pre vious to tho arrest of tho four mem bers of tho ring. Gus Hanson, licensed mariner, and John Morris, a deck hand, wero sen tenced to servo 30 days In the county Jail nnd pay a flno of $200 by Judge Jeremiah Neteror when they pleaded guilty to transporting liquor. Tho charges against them were tho flrst In this district to bo filed directly under the authority of tho now federal pro hibition law. Bert Jackson and John Olson, laborers, wero nrrestcd at the same tlmo Hanson nnd Morris wero taken und aro still held In tho city jail. The arrest of the quartette took place at the baso of a 200-foot cllfT on aingnona uiun winio tno men were taking tho last 180 quarts of Cnnu dlan whisky out of tho water pre paratory to cnrrylng It to tho top of the cliff above and storing It in a thicket less than forty yards off Mng nolln boulevard near the southern end of Thirty-seventh nvenuo west. A member of the dry squad had purchased the amount In question by making an Initial payment with marked money, when he was Joined by his felfbw squad members, and tho four men arrested. The launch that had brought the whisky from Van couver was scheduled to return with another load some time between mid night nnd dnyllght. In tho mornlr dry squad ofllccrs waited In vain for Its arrival at the customary point off Magnolia bluff. According to tho plan of operation as gathered by Lieutenant Collier, the ring was composed of about seven men, three of them thoroughly versed In unvlcatlon nnd particularly nc- qunlnted with sound waters. Trips between Seattle and Vancouver were mnde entirely under the cover of dark ness, tho bont tnklng Its lond at a scheduled spot near Vancouver and unloading It Into the boy off Magnolia bluff. Hnch sack was tied to a small cord and lowered to the bottom of the hay, tho cords being tied together on nn Iron bar and the bar placed under shnllow water nenr tho shore. Tho sacks containing tho whisky seized by the dry squad were still wringing wet when found, while a mnze of cords was discovered near the water's edgo where they had been dlscnrded. The path up tho sldo of the cliff showed that the place had been used for some time, apparently for tho pur pose of bringing up whisky. PRODUCTION OF DUCKS' EGGS Demand at Good Prices Is Limited Except Around Easter Indian Runner Is Favored. The demand for ducks' eggs at a good price Is limited and not nearly ns general ns thu demand for hens' eggs. The quality of the Southern and Western duck eggs on the aver nge innrket was poor until people be gan to keep Indian Runner ducks and to build up a trade In flrst-clus eggs. A good demand for ducks' eggs exists about Easter time at prices usually several cents a dozen higher than for hens' eggs. Most buyers make no quotations for ducks' eggs except early In the spring. Since three ducks' eggs weigh about the same as four liens' eggs, ducks nro not as profitable for ink jM 1 &r & 'r . t Modern Life Is the Cause of Ills Brings About Innumerable Neces sities for Adjustment in Individual. MANY CURED DURING WAR Medical Expert on the Psychoses and Neuroses Developed. In Struggle Chronic Worry Relieved After Real Reason Is Found. Now York. Fear and anxiety, twin demons that mnko mlscrnblo so many lives, have their origin In Inward con flict and can only be conquered by tracing tho trouble to Its source, snys Dr. Frankwood E.

Mr. Morgenthnu was formerly ambussador to Turkey. mensurable degree of success Is often responsible for so-called mental ot nervous Ills, technically termed psy choses or neuroses, according to Doc tor Williams, who uses Illustrations from tho recent war to make this point clear. During tho war many men, finding themselves In apparently Intolerable positions, sought unconscious refuge In mental or nervous breakdowns. By tracing tho history of the conflict so terminating tho greater percentngo of tho men might have been sent back to their commands completely re stored nnd ready to faco whutovet might come. In fact, Doctor Williams says, mnny men of this typo did re cover completely with tho aid of rest nnd proper psychiatric treatment, nnd fought bravely. Tho measure of, a man's 3uccess In handling life's problems, according tc tho article, lies In his skill In adjust ing himself to tho complicated life ol modern society. Some... full completely, developing psychoses of a more oi less serious nature, others are partly successful, hut the dlfllcultlcs of ad Justment set up nervous disturbances thnt render them neurotic, while tho majority succeed In making their ad Justments without too great difficulty. Relieving Chronic Worry. Kven nmong thoso who nro appar ently successful, however, thousands nro found who nro annoyed by anx- I loty, who nro "chronic worriers," and whose uncnslness nrlses from nn Inner conflict which mny be got at by the use of proper methods and relieved Doctor Williams says there may be obvious reasons for anxiety or fear, and that these should not bo over i looked, but thnt often the real reason lies deep and must ho cnrofully sought after before relief enn come. ii is in ineso cases mat tno psy chlntrlst finds his deepest Interest nnd his greatest chance to help. "Where the reaction Is out of nil proportion to n reasonably nsslgnable cause, or where no reasonable cause mny be found, then expert guldnnco and help are needed," says Doctor Williams, citing Instances of persons afraid to ride in tho subway, fearful of being alone, in comfortable, happy surround Ings nnd worrying, nnd crying with out apparent cause. Indian Runner Ducklings. the production of market eggs as fowls, unless a higher price is secured for the ducks' eggs. A trade Is gradually being estab lished in some markets for fancy near by ducks' eggs, which bring higher prices thnn hens' eggs, nnd the de mand seems to be Increasing. Pure white eggs are preferred and usually bring tho highest price. These eggs should be mnrkoted frequently, ns they depreciate In quality more rapid ly than hens' eggs, especially during hot wenther. The market for eggs should be, ctirefuliy "Jlnvestlgnted by thoso who Intend to raise breeds of the egg-laying type of ducks, such as the Indian Runncy, especially for the production of eggs, say poultry spe cialists of the United States depart ment of agriculture. PROVIDE FOWLS CLEAN FEED Carelessness on Part of Poultryman in Cleaning Utensils Will Cause Much Trouble. Fowls that aro fed grain are pretty sure to receive pure feed, ns all ono hns to watch Is to make sure the grains aro sweet and clean, nnd not moldy or decayed. However, It Is sel dom advisable to make grain tho solo ration of tho poultry. Soft feeds (or mashes) will have to be fed to somo extent nnd troughs must be used for this kind of feed. Where the residue Is left to sour, tho fowls will show the effects In time. Fermented feeds do not nppear to be readily digested by poultry and may also spread disease germs. Carelessness In the nmtter of denn ing the troughs hns brought dlsastei to many n poultrymnn. The same tiling Is true of the drinking vessels. It requires only n little effort to have tho feeding nnd watering vessels al ways clenn, and It certulnly Is tho thing to do.

Must Carry Label That Tells the Truth, Manufacturers Are Told. Candy In intorstnto commerco, the United States department of agricul ture tells the manufacturers, must be pure, und must carry a label that tells the truth. The box or contnlnur that goes to tho consumer should bear a conspicuous lnbel showing tho not weight When tho candy Is put up under the name of the wholesaler or jobber, tho name appearing on the label should bo preceded by "manufactured for" or norno such words, so thnt the purchaser mny know Unit the niime Is not thnt of the manufacturer.
