FAQB Prohibition. Enforcement Makes Money for Uncle Sam; Country Once Rebelled on “Whiskey Tax” PITTSBUROHr—(IP)— Out her« in thia region . where in George Washington's a«l;nialetratlon far mers took arms d u r i n g the “Whiskey Rebellion’’ to avoid paying taxes on liquor, < prohibi tion enforcement is ( a money making activity for the United States Government. During the first year nf the administration of John Q. Pen nington the prehibition district which Includes Western Pennsyl vania and West Virginia did a' business roughly estimated at 1972,000, and turned In a pro fit to Uncle Sam unofficially es timated at $432,000. ' Pennington, a retired lieuten ant-commander in the navy, is tl>e third prohibition administra tor to hold* office since the coun try was divided Into districts under the “Andrews plan." His predecessor had quit the job in disgust, but Pennington took it up. promising nothing except to do “the best I can.’’ Revenues from unnsual sources have poured into the govern^ ment's coffers as a result of Pen nington's activities. Confiscated property Is sold; copper from stills produces a good revenue nnd even the sugar used by the illicit liquor makers nets several thousand dollars a year. While nil of the fines and back taxes levied agalnat convicted bootleg gers have nof yet beyn collect ed, here Is an approximate bal ance sheet of operations In this district from July 15, 1126 to July 15, 1927: Taxes on alcoholic spirits ......................... $550,000 Fines .............................. $200,000 Property confiscated $75.(l00 Copper confiscated ..... $100,000 Afitomabilep > $ 4 0 , 0 0 0 Rugar .........(................. 17,000 $•72,000 Cost of operating prohibí- ' tlon unit, average of $45,000 monthly ........$540,000 ,, Profit “2îaTVÏî3»Ty» - ¿a*, -tx-, ; .

During one month SHIPPERS FIND OLD SUBMARINE Derelict Found by Steamer Liberator, Causes Concern HONOLULU, Aug. 8.—(LP>—A new and menacing mystery of the sea, in the’ form of a derelict submarine floating across the shipping lanes near Midway Is land, has aroused the interest and concern of shipping men here. The derelict was discovered by the steamer Liberator, about 1150 miles out on a voyage from Honolulu to Yfckahama. Aside from a brief report that the derelict was boarded, but that poisonous fumes prevented search of the wreck, no details of the find have been sent here. , Whether the hulk represents some new and hitherto unreported disaster of the Pacific, whether bodies are aboard, or whether some old wreck has been floating by an earth convulsion at the bottom of the sea, are points which hre not clear. The Liberator stated that the numbers “027*' were on the sub marine but this designation bears no connection with any craft known to have been in the vicin ity. . Around Globe?

AUTO TOURING NO JOKE NOW Transformation in Attitude and Equipment of Tourists Auto camping has been trans formed from a joke to a com munity and national asset within the last few years.

It Is only a few years ago mo tor campers with their trying pans, blankets, and tents draped over the family flivver were tar gets for the wise cracks of hu morista everywhere. Now these vacation campéis are taken seriously and a recent survey showed there were 6,500 public tourist camps established through the United States to cater to their comfort. The tent Is be coming an obsolete part of the equipment as tourists demand camp accommodations in the form of cabins equipped with electrical appliances. The traditional hardships of camp life have been eliminated largely, by Improvement in tour ist park accommodations.
