moonshiner, who got the name
from working at night, has
switched to daytime operations.
And this change, federal alcohol
tax agents report, is only one
of a number in the illicit whisky
trade.
Once notorious for exercising
his shooting eye when a "reve-
nooer came around, the moon
shiner also has abandoned gun
play. Experience has taught him.
the agents explain, that the rev
enue men carry long-range rifles
and know how to use them.
They even have a new weapon
designed to spray slugs through
automobile bodies.
Night work now Is confined
to the transporter, a compara
tive newcomer to the game, who
finds the darkness more suitable
for bridging the gap between
still and hip pockets.
But the changes do not mean
an end to moonshining. and the
stills are blooming with the
springtime in Kentucky.
Moonshiners parade before
United States District Judge H
Church Ford here twice an
nually.
"I jest couldn't make a i
livin out of that farm of mine,
say those who own farms. The
agents report, however, that the
average moonshiner's farm is
untitled and that moonshining
runs in families.
How do agents locate stills?.

In one unusual case, a father
"turned in" his own son, with
whom he had been living in a
one-room mountain cabin for
years. Pressed for explanation
of his motive, the father ex
plained his son had brought
home a bride forcing the father
to sleep outdoors.

STATES URGED
TO
ITER RIGHTS
EAST INDIES IDE
Denver (U.R) Gov. Ralph L.
Carr of Colorado has started a
new offensive in his self-styled
"bloodless civil war" against
proposals to give the federal
government control over waters
of western rivers.
The new objective of the fiery
Republican water expert is set
tlement out of court years-old
disputes between the states of
the semi-arid west over division
of river water for irrigation.
The first skirmish was a suc
cess. The governors of Colorado,
Kansas and Nebraska have ap
proved a compact dividing the
waters of the Republican river
and a threatened court battle
has been avoided.
Gov. Carr will meet with
Gov. Leon C. Phillips of Okla
homa in an attempt to settle
the question of dividing the
Arkansas river waters. Efforts
are being made to settle out of
court the lengthy controversy
over waters of the North Platte
river involving the states of
Colorado and Wyoming on one
side and Nebraska on the other.
Gov. Carr said peaceful set
tlement of the disputes was
"advisable because the feder
al governent has intervened in
the North Platte suit, before the
U. S. supreme court, and is as
serting control over all unap
propriated waters.
