Heavy Fines Imposed For
Aiding or Selling to Liq
uor Smugglers
HAMILTON, Bermuda. July 23.
The Colonial parliament has just
passed a special (law to prevent
liquor smuggling! from Bermuda
to the I'nited skates. Anyone
putting intoxicants aboard a ves
sel bound to American ports in
curs a fine of 5(. Local dealers
who are found to be in connivance
with the law-breakers are penal
ized and may be deprived of their
licenses. .
This law, which is now in ef
fect, was broughtjabout thanks to i
the reckless mariner of carrying
on illicit operations during the I
past year. Not only were hiding
places for booze! in all parts of,
jJie ships utilized but the smug
glers went so far as to open up
barrels ,of potatoes in the hold
and insert whiskey bottles.
Discovery of this practice led
to an outcry from local produce
shippers who forefeaw interference
with their deliveries entailing de
lay and money losses. The Ber
niudians were concerned over the
possibility of having the liners
held up at New York by Federal
agents to the pefil of legitimate
trade and the interruption of tour
ist traffic on whih local prosper
ity so largely depends.
The recent capture, off the Car
olina coast, of al schooner with
4." barrels of whiikey loaded here
at St. C gorges, also had its ef
fect in hastening! legislation.
There are 3C2 jiigh priced em
ployes of the league o nations

Printing Time
LACING YOUR PRINTING ORDERS IN
the hands of a competent printer at the
dull time is a matter of foresight for the
business man. Now the rush is over, the
printer has more time for your work
each and every detail of the job gets the
proper attention, and the satisfaction shared is
mutual. But there is no satisfaction to share if
your printer is a printer in name only. He must
"be there with the goods" and also deliver said
goods. '
Q This company has enjoyed a season of unprece
dented prosperity through being able to turn but
creditable printing.
