(AP) The radio is one of the strongest forces at work for the betterment of mu sic, and will sooner or later raise the musical taste of America, and improve' grand opera, says Claude Warford, New York composer and A LTHOUGH the quality of evidence that liquor ri moonshine liquor is univer-1 made somewhere on wily bad, and the activities ot moonshiners , uniform along- many lines of law violation, there is one respect in which they are all dif ferent This is the kind of place selected for a still. j Snch was the comment f Mar ion county officers last week in telling of the various raids fn which they have engaged. The still might be situated in the underbrush nar the house. It might be in the basement. It might be in the attic. It might be In the woodshed or the barn. During the course of a raid last year the still finally was found under a false floor of the pig pen. In another raid, near Taibott. a loose board was found in a man ger of the barn. Under this board a ladder led down into an ex cavation in which the still was situated. In fact, the officers say! if moonshiners took up some honest profession and used the same bril l'ancv in it. thev fiderably greater profits. Or if tney were as good at- other branches of theh choeen occupa tion as they are at hiding their stills they would never be caught. Perhaps some of them are that good. One fascination feature of the study of moonshine stills and their location, is that the most in tricate hiding places, and the most expert methods, probably neve have been ferreted out. Rumors persist of a moonshine and bootleg ring operating in the Willamette ralley with headouar ters at Portland. Many officers of the law believe that at least one snch group, well organized and financed, does exist. They cannot prove ir. of course; if they could it would cease to exist.

Stills are not alwavs found when the raid is maide. There was one cae where the still wa situated in a large hole under the Darn noor. The officers obtained was the being Place. ipened to be successful the public never would have known anything about the first one. There Is yet another way the moonshiner has of outwitting the 1 law. An instance that occurred more than two years ago during the administration of W. S. Lev ens as state prohibition commis sioner, and which was not pub lished at the time, will serve to il lustrate the idea. Mr. Levens received word of a huge still situated somewhere east of Silver Creek Falls. Careful preparations were made, only a few prohibition agents who were to make the raid, and two trusted newspapermen, told of the plans to make a raid. But somebody must have let the information out, for when the raiding party stalked its prey just at daylight they found it gone. The officers had a night auto ride and a hike through the brush for nothing. automobile: ousts plav TABRIZ.
