ENVOI BOOZE SALE IN CAPITAL PAINTED MYTH

Merely Good •Promotion’ Talk by Bootleggers, Check Shov x BY ALFRED P. KEL United Press Stiff Corresponded \ WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Bootleg “diplomatic liquor,” which recently drew the fire of congressional and dry speakers, proved today to be mostly a myth and good “sales talk” by enterprising Washington bootleggers. An examination into importation records of liquors for the diplomatic corps showed each accredited diplomat in 1928 receiving approximately eight bottles a month. Last year's j importations averaged 150 cases : monthly, or a total of 1,300 for the! year. Divide this figure by nearly 250 dimplomats In Washington and consumption is not excessive according to standards In foreign countries. No Bootlegging, Says Howard In fact, the entire yearly Importation would amount to less than a good year’s business for the average prosperous bootlegger. Sir Esme Howard, British ambassador and dean of the diplomatic corps, when shown United Press dispatches on diplomatic liquor importation, said, to his own knowledge, the figures were correct and were of great service to the corps in refuting the many rumors of privileged liquors going into illegitimate channels. Sir Esme also expressed willingness for the state department to make public all records of diplomatic importations. “If the state department should a k me, as dean of the corps, I would recommend it make public all he said. “To my ow n knowledge not a single bottle of liquor from my cellar lias gone astray. I keep a personal check on it. "I have never heard of a bottle of embassy or legation liquor finding its way into bootleg channels,” he said, “and I doubt if any representative of a foreign government here would countenance such a thing. Record Is Kept “A record is kept at the state department of every importation so that any one who would attempt to bring in an excessive amount would ! be known.” As Sir Esme said, nearly 75 per I cent of all liquors imported by dip- I lornats is wine,*which would leave I out 450 cases of “hard” liquor a year for the diplomats’ personal consumption, or less than tw o cases per person. In fact, real embassy liquor is so scarce that several cases have been known where diplomats, after entertainments, have run short and were forced to borrow from their colleagues. Some Washington bootleggers have been known to collect empty liquor bottles from embassy and legation trash piles, refill them and I offer the official looking bottles as j “genuine stuff.” One Wife Too Many Bu Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Jan. 30.

SECOND AND WORSE FLU WAVE FEARED Colds Attacking Weakened System Pave Way for New and More Severe Diseases. Health authorities fear that the present decline in the number of new flu cases may be only a prelude to a second and worse wave. They point out the importance of keeping free from colds, especially if the system has already been weakened by the flu, as colds at this time are so apt to bring on bronchitis, or even pneumonia Every cold must be checked imimmediately. And yet too much “dosing” may upset the digestion which is already disturbed by the toxins of influenza. Vicks Vapoßub is especially valuable here. As it is applied externally, it can be used freely at the first sign of a cold without upsetting the most delicate digestion. Just rub it on the throat and chest at bedtime.—Advertisement.

Booth thus won the first victory in his fight to prevent the “reform” element of the army, in which his sister, Comr.ander Evangeline Booth, is a leader, from removing him and changing the army rule under which the general names his own successor. The terms of the court’s ruling apparently sent the fight from the courts, to which Booth had carried it, back to the inner circles of the army itself. It seemed likely, unless the high council must be held at which Booth would battle to prove himself still fit to handle affairs of the organization.
