False Table Bottom Bad
Hiding Place for Booze
A false bottom as a hiding place for
whisky must be in a piece of furniture
more complicated than a table if the
violator against prohibition would
elude the vigilance of the Omaha po
lice. ,
Frank Clark. 619 South Sixteenth
street, tried this method at his con
fectionery store at the above address.
He had apparently .converted his
store into a thirst station. But the
police got on his trail and knocked
the bottom out 6f his plan. When the
contents within the table, were count
ed, there were twenty-nine pints and
thirteen half rants of whisky, which

-Secretary McAdoo spoke to the Boy

"You young patriots are manifest

the champions of liberty because we
are a republic The spirit of liberty
isnow being challenged by an auto

"We have never gone into a war

"No matter what task is assigned to

Will Prohibition Be Adopted
As a War-Measure? ,
-' . .., v- ' - : '
An Investigation of the Results in Nineteen "Dry" States
- Nation-widty prohibition as a war measure would affect everybody in the United States
The good results of such a policy have been praised continuously in the press of the belligerent
countries, and are cited in America by prohibition advocates to explain the great strides of the
"dry", movement in the United States during the past two years.
' To get a true conception of what citizens of the "dry" states have experienced under, pro
hibition Taw, THE LITERARY DIGEST made a strictly impartial iniquity in all the states that
have had prohibition laws of one kind or another in operation for not less than one year. Two
questions were asked of the representatives pi public opinion in these commonwealths the
editors of the press: First: Whether In Their State Prohibition Is'a Success? Second: Whether
They Would Recommend It to Other States? From nineteen states, 157 replies have been re
ceived. '
In THE'LITERARY DIGEST for May 26th, the results of this nation-wide canvass is
shown. This is the first non-partizan investigation of the kind eyer made. The result is most il
luminating, and will interest every one, from brewers to bishops.
