The cop, the reporter and Maxie clattered in to meet Duffy, his splendid fedora hat at the perfect angle. "Hello, Sullivan," he greeted the lieutenant. "What's the trouble!" "Plenty, Bill. This reporter lad will tell the lot of you." . The young man of the press stood staring with popping eyes at Minnie and Pop who, m the sunlit setting of old mahogany, seemed like an old king with his favorite princess. .; . . "Shoot!" commanded Duffy. "Pull up a chair, said Pop. "The ticket on the sweepstakes was a forgery," explained the re porter. "Thank the Lord!" cried Pop.

Of course, Mrs. Blutch knew about the death of the mother and the father, and that Minnie was living here. The funny part of the thing was that organ for one thing. "Yes, yes, go on," said the re porter, scribbling speedily. "And Pop and Terry and I were going to visit distant parts and have audiences with kings and em perors, if any." . . .

And the picture! Well, everybody loves and promptly falls for a pretty girl and a protecting dog. "Marriage to Prince of Wales Called Off!" Only the blind and the wholly illiterate would fail to read the story under that sort of screamer. Andrew Wessel himself, head of the extremely wealthy brewery family, did not read that kind of a newspaper but his son Andrew, Jr., and his two daughters devoured It every morning with their break fast.

"Clean up or close up" was the ultimatum. The results, we feel, apeak for themselves. To date, 1 42 retail beer licensees have been elim inated because they used their permits to shield illegal activities. Thus are being removed the bad spots that, left alone, would ignore the high standard of conduct demanded by public eenti ment and by the legalized beer industry.
