U, S. SETS UP STRICT BAN ON MOB WEAPONS ‘Dillinger Sleuths’ Meet in Secret Session at Washington. B*t f'mfrtt prra WASHINGTON. July 27—The government closed in on the underworld from another angle today when the new federal firearms control law became effective. The new law places stringent regulations and almost prohibitive taxes on sales of machine guns, sawed-off shotguns and other favorite gangster weapons. Under penalty of heavy fines, it requires registration and fingerprinting by all owners of existing arms of these types. While the commissioner of internal revenue and the justice department prepared regulations for enforcement of the firearms law. the are federal sleuths who directed the remorseless hunt for John Dillinger met in secret conferences and plotted the end of the rest of his marauding crew. Purvis Won't Talk 111 the conferences were J. Edgar Hoover, chief of federal ojierative.s; Melvin Purvis, head of the Chicago unit who personally led the party that shot Dillinger; and E. J. Connolly. leader of the special federal “Dillinger squad ’ working out of Cincinnati. They prepared for a fresh start in the hunt lor "Baby Face" Nelson and other Dillinger associates. I rvis declined all comment on the Dillinger ease. Hoover said absolutely nothing more was going to be revealed in federal quarters regardless of whatever may be disclosed by the Chicago police or other sources. The new firearms act was passed bv the last congress to strengthen federal authority in the campaign against crime. “It is not expected that this lawwill keep all sawed-off shotguns out of the hands of criminals,” a justice department official explained. “It is believed, however, that the criminal element will violate the act. thus laving a foundation for forfeiture of their weapons and for imprisoning them." 5.000 “Death Dealers” The number of sub-machine guns alone now in the hands of criminals is estimated as high as 5.000. The new law applies to all machine guns and automatic rifles, sawed-off shotguns and rifles and to silencers. Within the next fifteen days all manufacturers, importers and dealers will be required

1. What is gin? Pry cin is a “potable” spirit, the characteristic flavor of which is derived chiefly from the juniper berry. lr is made in either of two ways—by distilling or mixing. 2. What is the difference between Distilled Gin and “Synthetic" Gin? A distilled gin is one in which the juniper berries and the other flavoring ingredients are actually distVled into the spirits —the resulting product being a 10Q r o distilled gin. At no point in its production is it mixed or compounded. Fleischmann’s Dry Gin is a distilled gin. “Synthetic" Gin. as its name implies, is a home-made mixture commonly known as “bathtub gin." The alcohol is mixed with jumper extract and other flavors to produce this type of gin. It usually tastes “raw”—unpalatable —when taken straight or in a mixed drink. This “synthetic product” is not really gin —but an unsatisfactory substitute—frequently containing harmful impurities. 3. What is “London Gin"? “London Gin” is a generic name for a certain kind of gin just as "Sherry'” means a certain kind of wine. There are many so-called “London Gins" made in this country. Some are imported. London Gins acre net originally intended to be used for mixing. 4. Is Fleischmann’s Dry Gin a “London Gin"? No! Fleischmann’s Gin is an American Gin—distilled from Amcncan grains—from an American formula— for American Us :e end drinking customs, by an American company.

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN A mother called me the other day and asked me not to forget the "very young" in reviewing books this summer. “Quite often last summer.” she said, “ you reviewed books for little boys and girls.” So I began my search for anew book for the very young boys and girfis. In reply to my request. Albert Whitman A: Company of Chicago sent me “Rowena. Teena, Tot and The Blackberries.” I discovered that this fascinating book was written by Mrs. Fannie Burghcim Biumberg who lives near Terre Haute. Because she is a mother of four children she is a student of books for children. Aithousrh she has written several books for children, her first one. The First Circus,” has been the favorite up to her latest. Rowena. Teena and Tot "were three little Negro girls, who went to visit their grandmammy in a little town in the South.” This grandmammy did not talk like her grandchildren did, according to the author. .So Grandmammy talked this way when she invited the three children to go with her blackberry picking: “Dis is a fine day fo' blackberry pickin’. Git yo’ pails, put yo’ bonnets on and le's go.” Grandmammy harnessed Rosie, the horse, to the surrey and after Rowena, Teena and Tot had put on their colored aprons, the four were ready to go. Their experiences are told in a quaint little story of youth and made more interesting by many marvelous drawing in color by Mary Grosjean, an artist living in Rochester. New York. This book is priced at $1 and would give lots of color to any library. a a a THE Modern Library has placed James Branch Cabell's “Jurgen” on its shelves. This is the latest addition to this highly important library at popular prices. This edition of "Jurgen” sells for 95 cents. The publishers announce that •* • Jurgen.’ thanks to the obscenity seekers, has become Cabell's best known novel. Now it takes its rightful place on the shelf of the modern library beside his two other illustrious books. ‘The Cream of Jest’ and Beyond Life.’ ” Many will recall that "Jurgen” is a comedy of justice and concerned chiefly with Jurgen s abode in Hell. to register and pay heavy license fees.

5. What do you mean by American taste and drinking customs? The American people as a whole have an entirely different taste in gin than most Europeans. They prefer a mild,.smoothtasting gin to the more pungent “rawtasting” London Gin. The English and the Europeans prefer to drink their London Dry Gin or their Holland Gin straight—"undiluted.” 6. Which gin should be used in cocktails? An American gin —like Fleischmann’s. The cocktail, the lorn Collins and other mixed gin drinks are strictly American inventions. In fact, ike words “American v Bar” mean a cocktail bar in every country of the world. To make an American cocktail—such as a Martini, or a Bronx, or an Orange Blossom— requires a smooth American Gin such as Fleischmann’s, that is distilled especiallvfor blendingwith other liquorsor fruit juices—and not a gin originally intended to be taken straight. Fleischmann’s is so distilled that, when mixed, it releases hidden, subtle flavors—creating a beverage more fragrant, more charming than any single ingredient. 7. How long has Fleischmann been making gin? Since 1870 (interrupted only bv Prohibition) Fleischmann has been making the highest quality Amencan gin.
