Tho rum-runner of today has chos en the nutomobllo as his principal weapon in tho conduct of his Illicit trado probably for tho vory obvious reason that it affords tho quickest means of conveying his wares to their lllogal market and, by tho samo token, offers tho greatest chances for carrying thorugh his venturo suc cessfully. In this connection, it Is worthy of nolo that rum-runners, al most without exceptipn, use tho most oxponslvo makos of motor cars cars that will sustain a speod of GO miles an hour, and upwards.
