HIGH COURT GURB ON BOTTLES ASKED U. S. Fights to Uphold Seizure as Aid to Prohibition Enforcement. By the Associated Press. ‘The Government urged the Supreme Court yesterday to aid it in more effec- tive prohibition enforcement by pre- | venting stores from selling bottles, casks and other contalners which will enable bootleggers to deliver their prod- ucts to customers in an attractive man- ner. The question reached the court in an appeal of Ike Danovitz of Plttsburgh, Pa., as the surviving partner of the Feitler Bottle Co. Xutemns against the seizure and confiscation by prohi- bitlon enforcement agents of a stock of empty barrels, bottles, corks and other articles. Defended by Government. The Government defended the seizure on the ground that the articles were in- tended for sale for the illegal manu- facture of liquor. Ward Bonsall, as counsel for Dano- vitz, insisted that the seizure was il- legal on the ground that the prohibi- tion law condemned traffic in articles used only in illegal manufacture. He argued that the manufacture of liquor had ceased before it was bottled or placed in other containers. Assistant Attorney General Sisson took direct issue with this argument. Insisting that the bottling and prepara- tion of the liquor for the market was a part of the manufacture declared il- legal by the Volstead act. Would Extend Decision. ‘Bonsall took the view that should the Supreme Court sustain the lower courts in declaring the_ seizure and confisca- tion legal, it would not only aim a blow at the manufacture and sale of bottles generally, but the decision also must be extended to the manufacture of fruit Jars and all other containers susceptible of use by bootleggers in marketing their product. Assistant Attorney General Blsson asserted that if the Government succeeded in preventing bootleggers ob- taining whisky bottles and compelled them w use fruit jars and milk bottles it would be a material step forward in prohibition enforcement. Every member of the court asked fl'uuflbnl which indicated approval of the decision of the lowes courts, author- g the seizure. CATHOLIC PEACE SESSION CLOSES Rev. F. J.

Simply rinse the mouth with full-strength Listerine. It destroys odors, leaving the breath sweet and wholesome. Don’t fool yourself that you never have halitosis be- cause you simply cannot know when you are a victim, It doesn’t announce itself to you. But it does to others — and is unfor- givable. Being an active germicide capable of killing 200,000,000 germs in 15 seconds, full- strength Listerine checks mouth fermentation and in- fection—both a cause of odors. Then it gets rid of the odors themselves; it is a powerful deodorant. Keep a bottle handy in home and office and use it often. It pays. Lambert Pharmacal Company, St. Louis, Mo., U. S. A.
