NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, DAUGHTER WATCHES START HOW THE CHEMISTS RECOGNIZE HOOTCH Synthetic Whiskey and Gin Secrets Are Made Public New hootch ynthetic whiskey open the ists who test the products of violators of the Volstead law Evidence seized from rum-runners and bootleggers is brought to them for examination. How the chemical tests 8 snducted was disclosed today by R. A F chief chemist of the gov- ernment in the federal h his office are lined wih shelves filled with bottles ot kind and description con- taining every kind of beverage forbid- on by the Volstead Act . A fringe of stills seized in raids orates the top of the shelves and here is a pile of them in a corner. year more than 8,000 samples of liquor, §ood, bad and in- different, have been tested here and he results produced later in the fed- cral courts. The first thing to be done by the chemists when a sample of suspected liquor 18 brought in is to test it for alcohol Usuaily the prohibition nts try Yo get at least half a pint of whiskey and a pint of wine for the chemists to work on. But occasion- ally an agent comes in with a small bottle of liquid which he explains is a drink of whiskey which he bought ot a bar and had to hold in his mouth until he could spit it out into a bottle without being observed by the bar keoepe And that is tested (oo. When the sample is large enough the hydrometer is used to find the of alcohol present. The hy- is a thermometer-like in- of glass with the specific <ravities marked on it. It is floated the sample and the markings read. Alcohol being lighter than water the hydrometer sinks farther in a mixture of alcohol and water than in plain water. The amount of ohol can thus be accurately de- rmined by reading the markings Small samples of booze are tested by means of the pycnometer. A measured quantity of the suspected liquid is weighed and its weight compared with that of an equal quantity of water, By means of a few computa- tions the amount of alcohol can easily be found For rapid work on beer and wine with small percemtages of alcohol the ebulliometer Is used. The evidence is heated and the bolling point learned Water boils at 100 degrees Centigrade and alcohgl at a much lower temper- ature. A" mixture of alcohol and water Lolls at a lower temperature hen water and thus the chemists rap- idly calculate the amount of alcohol. After the test for alcohol has been completed in the case of whiskey the being charred by fire before the whis- key that has been held in bond for some time has a color of its own due to the ‘nside of the whiskey barrels heing charred by fire before the khis- key is put in. The manufacturing bootlesger making an artificial whis- koy of grain alcohol and water uses carmel made of burnt sugar to color is product. The Marsh reaction shows if the color of the whiskey sample is genu- ine or artificial. A quantity of amyl alcohol slightly acidified with phos- phoric acid is mixed with the liquid fo be tested Amyl alcohol being lizhter than ethyl alcohol, as ordinary grain alcohol is called by the ‘chem- rises to the top of the mixture.

If the color is ie to carmel it will stay in the bot- tom of the mixture. Test is made for vood alcohol if there is any sus- icion of its presence. Mr. Edgon said that 90 per cent of the ligior seized by the prohibition agents and brought to the laboratory to be tested is synthetic whiskey made of alcohol and water and a little color or just plain “hootch.” “We can usually tell whether the stuff is genuine or net by just smell- ing of it,” he explained. “The syn- thetic stuff has a distinct smell of raw alcohol which is not present in gen- uine whiskey no matter how bad it may be “Lately we have tested a number of semples of synthetic gin. It is made of alcohol and water with a little oil of juniper to give the characteristic gin flavor. But the juniper flavor is nker than genuine gin and I don't think any one gets much pleasure from diinking such stuff.

Her hair began to fall out, and at night she cried and kept me awake. I tried different remedies without relief until I started using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After one week’s use I saw a great improvement, and after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and three boxes of Cuticura Ointment she was completely bealed.” (Signed) Mrs. M.

Scotch whiskey has less alcohol than the other whiskies We have found small quantities of cre- orote in some of the artoficial Scotch whiskies that have been seized. The creosote is put in to imitate the peat- smoke flavor of the genuine article. The making of home-made grape juice is dangerous from the stand- point of the Volstead Act unless pre- autions are taken to prevent fer- mentation and the consequent pro- duction of alcohol. The best way is to sterilize the grapes by pouring hot water over them or by boiling the 1ice. There is a wild yeast present on the grapes and floating in the air at grape-picking time and it is the wild yeast that starts the fermenta- tion."” The governent chemists have even tested Chinese wine or ngkapy to de- termine if it was suitable for human consumption. A large quantity of the wine consigned to Chinese merchants was held up by the customs officials on the ground that it smelled so bad it was not fit for human consumption. The government's chemists found the wine was made from rice spirits and a decoction of herbs They said it as all right for Chinese medicinal purposes so it was allowed to be breught in. CITY ITEMS.

Secretary Hughes said: ‘1 deem it most fitting that there should be associated with this cele- bration the observance of the anni- versary of the first battle of the Marne, for through that battle, turn- ing seemingly irretrievable, retreat into a magnificent victory, the preser- vation of those great principles of human liberty and rights which La- fayette cherished was ultimately as- sured. “It ‘s further gratifying that in this celebration the friendship and szood will which we entertain for France will be appropriately emphasized. The relations between the two coun- tries are built on a solid foundation of service and of mutual helpfulness in the case of free institutions.” Cable From Herrick. Ambassador Herrick cabled: “Lafayette and the Marne are names inscribed forever on our ban- ner, on the banner of France and on the hearts of our citizens and hers. “We rejoice that we stood beside France for liberty at the second Marne and gratefully acknowledge our in- debtedness to Lafayette and to France, our ally in the war for our inde- have produced, from of wheat and malted pudding for dinner.

S. Aims. Similarly nearly 150 years after, these United States, grown to a na- tion of more than 100,000,000 free men, women and children, disclaim- ing any material advantages for them- selves, sent armies of their youth and gave largely of their wealth, that lib- erty and that freedom which Lafay- ette cherished and espoused should be assured to France. We are pleased to believe and we know that these armies took no mean part in se- curing that ultimate victory by which the integrity of France and human rights were preserved. By their prowess, their dauntless courage and their resolute valor, they checked the German advance at Chateau Thierry and Belleau Wood in the second battle of the Marne and started that memor- able retreat of the German hordes which a few months later ended in final defeat. “The friendly and cordial relations which exist between the United States and France do not rest upon mere sentimentality or selfish interests; but rather are they built on the firm foundation of historic mutual service which cannot be shaken.” German labor in the metal working trades costs about one-sixth that of the United States.
