MOUNTED Patrolman Brady saw
the kev when it Btepned from the
motertruck. The man standing en the
back of the truck had leaned ngalnst it
as the machine lumbered by. lirady
shouted te him that It was sllcllng off
and it was'lhc fcllew'a clumsy efforts
te ,Bave It that had sent It tumbling,
te smash en the boulevard pavement nnd
shower many gallons of whisky in every
direction.
Dy the time Brady had trotted near.
enough te smell the character of the
liquid the truck had put en speed nnd
was swaying wildly up the boulevard
mere thnn n block nway. Urndy, of
course, gave chase, but the machine
"outdistanced his mount until he lest
'sight of it as it swung off en n read,
lending out into the country. It was i
about fifteen minutes bciore iirncn
found Heiks, of the motorcycle Bquud
nnd the latter took up the pursuit.
Hclks" asserted that In his pursuit of
the whisky truck he passed l'ctcr
Degancy, a liquor dealer, In another
motertruck thnt was leaded with kegs
and headed into the city. When he
found the truck he was chasing It con
tained no kegs. ThoNlriver nnd his as
sistant, whom he urrcstcd, admitted
they were empleyes -'of Degnney, and
that the kegs had been transferred te
the truck in which he rode. They nlse
admitted the keg they had dropped had
contained whisky, but said it.was be
ing transported under permit. The rest
of the kegs, they stoutly maintained,
were empty, This was contradicted by
no less thnn eight persons who snw the
barreli transferred from one truck te
the ether, nnd who nil agreed that they
were very heavy.
Degnney himself told exactly the same
story as his empleyes when lie wns
questioned nn hour later bv the United
States operative who put lilin under ar
rest for violation of the Velstead act,
and attempted te substantiate his story
"by showing the permit for the trans
portation of n single barrel.
This was the case as Jim Quycr, the
United States operative, outlined it te
Harvey Hunts as the. two men mada
their way out te a warehouse owned by
Dcganey,
"We've traced the truckload out
cre," lie told the Independent Invest!
"Umphl" grunted Hnrvcv Hunt.
"I'm net se sure of that. Jim.'
The warehouse property Included n
fair-sized let, surrounded by a high
beard fence, and it was into this that
the two men made their way after n
thorough search of the building failed
te reveal any whisky stored there nt nil.
At one end of the let wns a huge pile
of empty kegs nnd barrels. In front
of this pile the ground wns wet. Iietli
men dropped te thclc knees nnd sniffed.
gnter, who wns accompanying him un
officially, "and I don't believe Dcgancy'ftf

we'll have te de is check the stuff nnd

The store of A. G. Spalding & Bres., shown above, is located at
1210 Chestnut Street. It has long been-recognized as the foremost"
sporting goods shop in town and is fast gaining a reputation as the
martest sports -teggery shop as well. Its Women's 'Specialty De-'
partment is a decided success.

DERHAPS you've heard father
x mention the fact that he needs
a new lounging robe, or perhaps he
hasn't mentioned it at all, but needs
it just the same. It is the thought
ful gift that is most appreciated, nnd
because he probably wouldn't buy it
for himself it will be doubly welcome
en Christmas morning. At the store
ei Macuenald & Campbell, 1334-3C
Chestnut Street, I saw some very
geed-looking dressing gowns and
lounging robes. These luxurious
gowns of brocades and velvets and
tilks in rich, dark colors, cut with
all the care of a fitted coat, are
serviceable as well as comfortable.
They make an excellent gift, tee, for
a bachelor brother who is given te
spending quiet evenings with a book
and a pipe.

THOSE who knew whereof they
speak are exclaiming with joy
ever their discovery of the most de
licious of hard candies. Many of us
who appreciate flavor have been pay
ing quite high prices for hnrd rnn-
dics rather than buv a tasteless
assortment of cheap candies. But
there is really no need te de either
when you can have delicious,
wholesome hard candies from the
stores of Edouard D. Kruse Com
pany, 100 Seuth Eleventh Street and
4903 Baltimore Avenue, at B0 cents
a pound. In this assortment you
may have Buttercups, with fillings
of chocolate, peanut butter, cocoa
nut and caramel; squares of butter
scotch, cinnamon and chocolate; Prin
cess cuts; Gooseberries, which we
used te call sour balls, and delicious
squares, which they' call souffles.

siens. At the store of Bonwit, Teller

squirrel wraps. One made en
straight and simple lines, was topped
by a generous cape cellar. Its lin
ing wns or peacock-blue satin and
blue and geld brocade. The ether,
en mere ample lines, had a paneled
front and a huge cape cellar. A
dolman of Hudsen Seal had wide
bands of opossum for its cellar and
the cuffs that edged its mandarin
slecv.es.
rNE gift that a woman always
v appreciates is a pretty blouse.
This year the costume blouse, which,
with the suit skirt, reallv forms a
most effective and practical after
noon costume, is very much in favor.
I saw seme lovely examples of this
type of blouse at The Blum Stere,
1310 Chestnut Street. A brown
Georgette, trimmed with ncm nn,i
attractively beaded, was $13.50, and'
u nuvy uuurguite, emuroieered with
geld thread, was $19.75. One at
tractive blouse was of navy chiffon
velvet combined with navy and
henna Georgette. Specially priced
at $5 was a little Geergette blouse,
with braided cellar and a braided
band about the bottom. It comes in
navy, gray, pink, nankin blue, peach
and tan and is really a most ox ex ox
ceptjenal value.

Why we cannot

Ty 7E cannot have a panic. W. P. G.
Harding, Governer of the Federal
Reserve Beard, says we can't. He tells why
in the December issue of SYSTEM.
Te knew why business readjustment does
net any longer mean what it meant in '73
and '93 te knew what new factors shape
conditions "today te have the word of the
greatest authority in the country that there
will be no panic, means that your business
can go ahead with assurance. Yeu can re
adjust te new price levels, plan new sales
campaigns, buy, finance, take advantage of
new conditions with the confidence you are
taking only reasoned chances.
In December SYSTEM Governer Harding
