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

which Includes Western Pennsyl

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

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.

AUTO TOURING
NO JOKE NOW
Transformation in Attitude

Tourists
Auto camping has been trans
formed from a joke to a com
munity and national asset within
the last few years.
The lowly flivver and the high-
powered car of wealth mingle In
truly democratic friendship on the
Llthia Park Municipal c a m p
grounds and everywhere the vis
itors at the camp ground« can be
seen strolling about the local
park and admiring its beauties.
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
