Some way or ether, I .can't take down my hair and have a good cry over these wise gnys down in Wall street When repeal came along, they continued to buy their Liquor from the bootleggers bo had served them in the fnore or less dry spell. The reason was that the bootleggers sold various well-known brands at much less than was charged by stores licensed by the atate. ' The' bootleggers explained that theirs was smuggled goods and finis they escaped payment of cus toms and import duties, as well as taxes, and they were wining, for old time's sake to pass along the sayings to their customers. . Weil, everything went along all right until, as you may have seen, the government took charge of a bunch of gentlemen , who had been' supplying bootleggers with essential supplies, such as empty bottles with brand names,'' and revenue and tat stamps. ;. Along with that came the announcement that the Wall street wise guys had been the biggest patrons of the dispensers of fake liquors. And instead of tears, there were snickers.

AtWAYS ALERT TO SPY OUT SPIES Constant Vigil Kept Against Foreign Prying. Washiaston. The ''publicity given to the recent arrest of a .former naval officer and thetonviction of a former naval petty officer, both charged with espionage, have fo cused attention on a war behind the scenes that is constantly but secretly waged in the United States as well as m other nations. It is a war of espionage versus counter-espionage, spy and under cover man versus agent and officer, and it rarely breaks through the screen of mystery that surrounds it. St is probattty uafe to say ttwrt spies never wont war. Most major powers, however, maintain rather elaborate organizations for coDeot ing and classifying information about the political, economic, social, (military, navaland aviation develop fments of "other countries. Consular and diplomatic representatives, commercial attaches, militaiy and naval attaches and paid agents, or spies, all finite in the task 'Of ob taining as much information .as pos sible about every conceivable form of activity. Military and naval se crets ace-zealously sought after, and are in turn, carefully guarded. Fond for Information. With the increasing world tension, and the strengthening of our mili tary and naval establishments, the war .behind the scenes has com menced even in democratic Amer ica. The office of naval intelligence tof the Navy department has avail able for the "collection and classifi cation of information" during this fiscal jear about $100,000 more than was appropriated for this purpose during the year just ended. And or the intelligence service of the army general staff, has been active in Panama, Hawaii, the Philippines and in the continental United .States. in this secret "war" the romanti cized .secret service plays, in (peace time, little or no part. ttpan their own officers aad en listed men (mainly the officer),, the two flfixvioes largely depend lor the Hirr tinn jrf counter-espionage acti vities, although both act in fullest collaboration with the govern ment's "policemen" of the Depart ment of Justice. The "G-2" officers handle the army's activities and officers spe cially assigned to intelligence duty act in the same capacity for the navy. The army has at least one intelligence officer at every post of any size; the navy has intelligence officers in every district and on duty with the fleet at sea. To Prevent Leakage. While these officers are active in counter-espionage work, they are interested also in the establishment of regulations to prevent leakage of our own secrets. The army has adopted a beneficent, rather liberal, but effective system in this respect; the navy, with newly established "security units" in the fleet, rather strict censorship, restrictions upon visitors, and increased secrecy and some suspicion all down the line, has adOStedln. the nnnt. thrpA warn Knmg Von Dill Find At A COMPLETE STOCK OF Peanut DagS (new and semi-new).

Much of it is the routine checking , of mi nutiae; some of it is keeping tabs on foreign 'visitors or suspected aliens in cooperation with the Immigration and Naturalization Service and other agencies. The navy and the army, too en larges its activities and broadens the scope of its intelligence work by employing suitable reserve offi cers -many of them in key posi tions' for such work to assist in counter-espionage measures. Bathing Suit? Shucks! 94, He Swims in Nude Blair, Neb. Burl Ring, ninety four, "ain't never wore a bathing suit yet," and the mere fact that it was his birthday caused no change in his nudist principles of the last nine-odd decades. Twenty grandchildren stood on a bank of the Missouri river here and watched King present his an nual aquatic exhibition, which in cluded difficult dives. His eyes dimmed by cataracts and his hearing almost gone, King still takes a daily swim in the Missouri, in season. Asked if he minded a few pic tures, King replied: "Take all you want, if you want 'em in the raw. I'm ninety-four to day and I ain't never wore a bathing suit yet and I'm too old to start now." Anns Race Is Called World Recovery Curb Washington. The world economic system has recovered about half its depression losses, but growing practices of nationalism and heavy expenditures for armaments are re tarding further improvement, the Foreign Policy Association said. The gain, to date, according to the statement, has been reflected not only in industrialized countries but in those that produce raw ma terials as welL The statement, prepared by Winthrop W. Case, continued: "Increasing rearmament and the growing fears of war remain a real obstacle to healthy recovery anu the full restoration of confidence.' 20 Take Exam For Hertford Mail Route Twenty residents of Perquimans County gathered in the Edenton graded school Saturday morning to take an examination for rural mail carrier out of the Hertford office.
