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.

The demand for ducks' eggs at a

eggs. The quality of the Southern
and Western duck eggs on the aver

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

In the spring. Since three ducks' eggs

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

majority succeed In making their ad
Justments without too great difficulty.

Doctor Williams says there may be
obvious reasons for anxiety or fear,
and that these should not bo over

lies deep and must ho cnrofully sought
after before relief enn come.

his greatest chance to help. "Where
the reaction Is out of nil proportion to

where no reasonable cause mny be

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

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.
PLENTY OF RANGE ESSENTIAL
Discouraging Results Have Come From
Attempting to Raise Turkeys
Under Confinement.
Olven plenty of range, turkeys will

sects, green vegetation, weed and grass
seed, waste grain, waste nuts, and con
vert them Into delicious meat nt n
minimum expense. Plenty of rango is
ossentlnl to success In turkey raising,
nnd usually the discouraging results
hnvo come from attempts to raise the
fowls under close confinement.

Keeping Candy Pure
Agricultural Department Tries to
Protect Public.
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. Mixed
candles Inlielcd "fruit llnvors" urn mis
In milled If any nrtlnrlnl fruli flavor
are used. The word "maple" or oven
tho picture of a maple leaf must not
appear on the lnbel of confections In
which no maplo sugar or sirup Is lsed.
A falso or misleading statement ap
pearing on the label Is not cured by n
correct statement somewhere cIkc on
the label.
On thu question of purity, harmless
colors that do not conceal Inferiority
are permitted. Tho uso of shellac and
other gums for coating Is prohibited.
The department holds that saccharin
Ib Injurious to health and ,lts ise In
candy Is prohibited. Talc, terra alba,
barytes, chromo yellow, alcohol, nar
cotic drugs und mineral substances of
nil kinds arc specifically forbidden In
confectionery by tho terms of the law.
The uso of cocoa dust In the manufac
ture of chocolate goodr Is held to bo
objectionable. A harmless mineral oil
may be used ns u slab dressing If used
in such wny that little or none of the
nil is Incorporated In the llnlsheo:

Ions relating to the application of the
federal food and drugs act to confec
