All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. . Further Revelations of Liquor, Law Violations Federal investigators of the. alleged "whisky ring" in Wayne county have completed throwing the net around the men who organized and operated th111icit traffic in liquor in this community. They are ready to submit their evidence to the federal grand jury. Developments in the- last twenty-four hours have come thick and fast to prove the existence of both, the ring and of the guilt of many men, including, so the agents said, high officials. They claim that in one case it required only two cases of whisky to dbtain protection for the entrance and sale of a truck load of whisky in the city and county. This instance alone indicates very plainly the connivance of "higher ups" with the illicit traffic. In one week, say the government officials, employes of a railroad brought as high as 165 cases of liquor to. Richmond for distribution by trucks and automobiles. One employe is said to have made $50,000 in whisky sales. The investigation here has been thorough' and complete. Shipments of whisky have been traced from their source to the consumer. These facts are in the hands of the government. And so are the methods whereby protection was given to the men who plied the trade. One method of obtaining protection for smuggling the stuff into the city was to "frx" the right party with a portion of the Hquor, who would then see that it was divided among the men who were protecting the ring. The extent of the operations was not limited, if at least 25 saloons, 10 drug stores and hundreds of individuals are involved, as the federal agents point out. The connivance and even direct participation of certain city and county officials in the smuggling operations cannot be covered, says the federal officials. The clean-up includes them, and there is no loophole by which they can escape. No one doubts for a minute that the gigantic scale on which the illicit traffic was carried on here' must have had protection from high quarters. How could whole truck loads of whisky have been sold here without the knowledge of the officials? If federal officials obtained evidence that is sufficient to summon hundreds before the federal grand jury, what were the obstacles that prevented our own officials from getting the facts? There is only one answer. They kept their eyes closed. They did not want to see the violations which others saw. Many of them were members of the ring and party to the operations of the smugglers and importers. As the details of the operations of the ring are unfolded, it Jeaves the distinct impression that back of the entire plot must be a "master mind," directing its operation, tipping off the intended raids, and even now, perhaps, trying to shield the men who are guilty.

The Red Cross Appeal : One of the greatest organizations for the alleviation of human suffering is the Red Cross; its history attests to a glorious fulfillment of its mission, and its present program proves that it is not growing weary -in relieving distress and misery. Its drive for members in Wayne county is coming to a close, and it is hoped that this community will have enrolled a large number of men who are willing to co-operate personally in the execution of the purpose for which the organization was founded. Some European countries are emerging slowly from the devastation of the World war. In many of them starvation and privation of stupendous magnitude are depleting the population and creating suffering such as the world has not seen for many decades. For instance,' Herbert Hoover believes that there are 11,000,000 orphans and waifs who are desperately undernourished. Abqut one-third of this number are living by virtue of American charity. The remainder is provided for by the European countries or is slowly dying. In many sections of Europe that are being depopulated by .typhus and other scourges, relief agencies are battling might arid main to check the inroads of disease by sanitary precautions, by isolating the afflicted, and by jcaring for the ill. In this great work of mercy, the Red Cross is taking a conspicuous part. When the devastation of the war has been replaced by the orderly and well regulated policies, the world will point to the Red Cross as one agency that energetically and effectively assisted in the process of rehabilitation. The Red Cross has not asked for money to carry on this work, but has pleaded for enrollment in its ranks. If you have not joined, you still have an opportunity to be enrolled under the banner of the Red Cross of mercy.

Dinner Stories

The "Made in Richmond" Display-

It will stimulate your pride and love for Rich-j

I mond to visit the display that is to open soon in j the Y. M. C. A. There you will see what the I industrial genius and the labor of Richmond is producing for the domestic and foreign trade, and having viewed the exhibit, you will agree

i that after all Richmond is a good place in which j

to live. In some cities of the United States, exhibits J of the industrial and agricultural products of the i community are permanently housed in a cen

trally located building where visitors may study them at leisure. Usually a visitor is surprised at the multiplicity of commodities which a city produces, and the impression thus created stays with him and serves as material for an intelligent discussion of the business activity of that municipality. Residents of Richmond will be agreeably surprised when they visit the exhibit at the Y. M. C. A. All of them have a general knowledge of the articles produced in Richmond for the trade, but few of them have made a comprehensive study of the industrial resources of the commun

ity and are in a position to discuss the topic with ;

an array of facts. N After they have attended the exhibit they will have a new appreciation of the wide extent of our industrial activities and of the excellence of the products that are shipped from Richmond to all parts of the United States and to many foreign countries. It will be an object lesson of tremendous educational worth that will redound to the welfare of the city in many ways. (

"I see you advertise for a ticket seller and ask that ladies weighing more than 200 pounds kindly do not applv." "Yes." "Isn't that discrimination?" "No; merely common sense. Any lady shaping up larger than that could not get into my glass cage." All was rush and bustle in the studio when the new producer began to get busy. He snapped and barked and roared and wept; but, certainly, he got things done. Then ho turned suddenly to the weary star, who was retting after the last stunt. "We'll begin on the next episode now," he said briskly, while the actor proaned. "It ought to be a thriller. You're blown up into the air by ku explosion, and an airplane rushes along and catohes you." "It does, does it?" exclaimed the actor. "But, look here. Supposing tha airplane isn't there?" But the film producer's thoughts were already far ahead. - ' Oh. that's all right," he snapped absent-mindedly. "In that case, just come down; don't wait for it!"

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

THERE'S NO RULE Old Gaffer Jinks should be a wreck; for eighty years he's been on deck: and when a man has lived that long his cylinders are hitting" wrong in thirteen cases out of ten. but he's a wonder to all men, for he is chipper, blithe and spry, and we all stare when lie goes by. And if you ask him for the truth concerning how he's kept his vouth, he'll say, "I never smoked

or chewed, and no one ever saw me I stewed." And this should teach us how to hold the health of youth, which is life's gold. Beware the flagon and the pipe if you would reach an age that's ripe! But now old Gaffer Todd appears, and he bas lived for ninety years, and he's so brisk and full of pep It thrills us when we see his step. "How have you dodged," I ask this Todd, "a resting place beneath the sod?" "I've always chewed and smoked," says he; "I like a drink, and sometimes three." And thus we learn, sa help us Mike, that we should do just as .we like, if we would live to wintry years with supple joints and active gears. Some men, methinks, are predesigned to leave a hundred years behind, and they will see the journey through--makes no diff'rence what they do.
