The writer, accompanied by a , boot
legger named "Terry" as guide, told
of visiting the rum fleets, talking
with the rum runners, helping trans
- port the liquor and. of distributing
in the United States.
Miami, first stop of the lnvestlga-

you can find a bootlegger and If he

whiskey you want In Miami at $5

' Havana and Nassau were descrlb-
ed as two of the ports that were
flooding the United Statjis,. with 11-
quor, some of it from American dis
tilleries. . "Upon the payment of the proper
' amount of graft," the writer said,
"you can clear out of a port with
' an empty Blilp and receive a land
ing certificate showing that you ar
rived there with the very' whiskey

Key West and sent It to friends in
Chicago through the United' States
malls. We bought other booze In
Nnssau and landed it in Miami at
the municipal pier, getting it past
1 the United' States inspector at the
cost of $5 paid to the member of
the. boat's crew. We lugged liquor
back and forth from city to city,
bought It and sold it, drank It and
gave it away until we grew tired of
the entire performance and nobody
Boemod to think we were doing nny
Ihlng out of the ordinary." '
"And when wo were ready to re

In a bootlleggers' motorboat, met
and boarded a rum schooner loaded
with 2000 cases of Scotch whiskey,
rode this ship to the New Jersey
const, bought ten cases froni' the

other cases on the New Jersey coast,
trucked it to Newark, packed It into
trunks and shipped It to Chicago
and sold It to Terry's customers? No

fore' prohibition and with revenues
from all sources of less than half a
million, dollars, realized $2,798,00 1n
1922 in duties from liquor ship
ped into the United States,' " the
article said, quoting a Nassau of
ficial who added that estimating
that the 1,840,443 gallons of liquor
cleared from the Bahamas for the
United States was diluted fifty per
cent this would mean that over 2,
600,000 gallolns of llquor were
placed on the market in this coun
try from the Bahamas alone.

HENRY FORD SAID IN 1903:
,"I will build a motor car for the multitude.
It shall be large enough for the family, but
small enough for the unskilled individual
to easily operate and care for and it shall
be light in weight that it may be econom
ical in maintenance. It will be built of
honest materials by the best workmen ,
that money can hire after the simplest de
signs that modern engineering can devise.
But it shall be so low in price that the man
of moderate means may own one."
