MOONSHINE POPULAR 'WITH THOSE IN ORE. ;Those Who Y—Vant Kick and Fear to Smuggle Make Their Own (N. E. A. Special to the Herald) Portland, Orezon.—We've had it more than two years. You'll get it July 1, if President Wilson's recom- mendation for amendment of the war- time prohibition act is ignored by congress. What? Bone-dry prohibition! And yet— We're bone-dry in the Pacific thwest only in a manner of speak- | ing. True, the beer of commerce is | unknown to us, and the whiskey of | commerce is becoming harder and ! harder to get. But if it's the 2 | you want— §| There are two wavs: Make it or smuggle whiskey It's a game. If we ! win, we get rich. 30otleg fetches $20 per shy quart. If we lose, we pay i heavy fines and go to jail. We smuggzle it in fast automobiles on dark nights over mountain roads. We smuggle it by rail and water—in crude oil tanks, and hot-water bag: and in suitcases and trunks with fa bottoms. Women smugglers wear s with many pockets cunningly d to hold flat pints. They go | South thin and return fat. No matter how clever we are, the officers of the law keep pace with us. | They can tip trunk and hear the ’ gurgle-gurgle which the untrained ear cannot detect. They can shake a suit- case and hear the tinkle-tinkle. They look into the trawveler’s eyes and know there is bootleg in his 'bagizage. It's a hard game to beat. The officers pounce on our trunks and open them with violence, which they have no right to do. And some- times we miss silver toilet articles and other things of value. And we can’t say a word! It’s safer to make than smuggle. There has been an influx of strang sullen men who wear hickory shirts and chaw tobacker. They do not take kindly to strangers. You've guessed it. Moonshiners! They've come all the way from the mountains of Ken- tucky and Tennessee—genuwine hill- I billies, but with the commercial in- stinct highly developed. Moonshine never fetched $20 a quart in Kain- tucky. There's many a still hidden away in the hills of Oregon and Washing- ton. Note for housewive: In five min- utes you can construct a small-capa- city still and make whiskey in the kitchen. All you need are a large pail, a pan, a pie tin and a tin cup. Put the still on the stove. The steam rises from the mash in the bot- tom of the pail. It strikes the pan on top which is filled with cold water. The steam congeals and falls into the pie tin. It trickles through a hole in the pie tin into the tin cup beneath. And that's moonshine! A queer psychology has been at work among us since, with our eves open, we voted the Northwest dry. We are—or were—Ilaw-abiding peo- ple. Now we scheme to break the law. The best people do it. Ewvery third house in Portland is a distillery, a winery or a brewery. We make ‘“dago red” from Zinfindel grapes which are shipped to us from iCalifornia. We make loganberry wine, and raisin wine, and apple-and- honey wine, and dandelion wine. You can even make wine from carrots. Good beer is hard to make. Every once in a while the neighborhood is shaken by an explosion. Windows rattle. The earth trembles. But we merely smile and go about our busi- ness or pleasure. We know what has happened. Some amateur brewmeis- ter has put too much yeast in his beer. It’s all very wrong, of course. Our consciences prick. Nevertheless, we find a perverse enjoyvment in breaking the prohibition law. And this we know—that prohibition never can be bone-dry. Fermentation makes alcohol. 'Most everythinz ferments. Alcohol pro- vides the kick. And it’s the kick we want. smuggle it. We | from California. NEW RUSSIAN ARMY SOON CAN FIGHT ITS OWN BATTLES (N. E. A. Special to the Herald) Omsk.—The new Russian army under General Gaida and General Diedrichs is rapidly becoming effi- cient and will be fully competent to take the field alone when allied forces are withdrawn. Discipline is good and equipment and supplies from French and British and, to a smaller degree, from Americans are rapidly ‘being applied. Shortage of food is demoralizing the Bolshevik army on the western front, though it outnum- bers Kolchak's forces five to one.
