More Booze Said to Be Buried

flclnl canvass: OddiV'onouRlrtalthQZ
bailiwick that favorod tho water
wagon was tho Thirty-fifth, which is
said to bo tho rosldonco of moro
saloonkoopors and bartenders than
any other ward. Tho women's voto
did It. Tha mon In tho ivnrd voted
wot by a majority of 812, whllo tho
women voted dry by 5.G80 margin,
hanging up a not Sahara plurality of
2,874.
It may bo rolovant or not, but tho
Thirty-fifth ombracos somo sections
In which excavating activities woro
roportod n month or two ago thoro

woro burled and plats woro deposited
in strong bores with nn "X" marking

"Tho Thirty-fifth noods to worry
not," commented an election official.
"Thoy'vo got enough burled out

NEED HOUSE NUMBERS
Over Half the Residences, Stores,
Apartment Buildings and Other
Structures in Chiccago Are
Without Them.
Tho casual obsorvor cannot full to
nottco that ono of tho crying ncods
of Chicago' Is street numbors on tho
buildings.
Slnco tho passage of tho new street
car ordinance which provides fpv
tho stopping of tho cars at oven
numborod cornors only, tho absonco
of tho numbors is painfully notice
ablo, and much annoyanco is folt in
consoquenco.
Lottor carriers and othors who havo
long suffered from this flagrant dis
regard of tho law requiring numbors
on ovory house, havo grown tired of
uttering complaints. No attontlon
was paid to them.
Wholo blocks all ovor Chicago nro
without numbors, and no ono In au
thority appears to caro about tho
fact.
CHAD'S CHECK CHASED
Superintendent of Schools Chad
soy has his first pay chock from tho

questioning his titlo to tho job.

PROHIBITION FOR YANKS
But All the Alcohol That For
eigners Want, Free of Tax.
Tho prohibition fanaticism Is
working out charmingly for tho fa
natics. Alcohol is subject to a tnx
of $14 por gallon If used in the
United States.
If mado In tho United States and
shipped out of tho country It pays
no tax nt all to Uncle Sam.
Seo how It works.
The following Associated Press
dispatch in that omluontly dry organ,
tho Chicago Tribune, for Sunday,
April C, 1919, tells how tho thing
works:
Peoria. 111., April 5. The largest
slnglo Hhlpmont of alcohol over
mado In tho United States was sent
out of Peoria todny by tho Groat
WestQrn distillery for Sweden, whon
n solid train of thirty-six cars con
voyed 350,000 gallons to a seaport.
Another shipment of tho sninu call
bor Ih to bo mado on Tuesday.
Tho shipment was valued at ?012,
500. Under tho law all alcohol ex
ported Is tax exempt; otherwise
tho shlpmont would bo worth ?5,250,
000. Tho alcohol was shipped In 55 and
110-gnllon steel drums.
Lawmaking Body
tho public 1b entitled to know It, and
tho builders should bo advised," said
Chairman Dalloy. "Wo expect to tuko
up tho comont situation and pos
sibly touch on lumbor. If wo can got
flguros on factory cost wo can easily
Ilguro up freight and Jucroaso In
wngo3 and other things and find out
whether tho present retail markot
prlco la too high."
Sonator Dalloy is inclined to think,
from tho ovldonco taken, that tho
markot prlco of common building
brick, $12 a thousand, Is a bit' high,
and that tho brick mon havo long had
nn organization In ono form or an
other which llxos prlcos. Ho is not
taking snap Judgmont on this, how
ovor, and will not recommend lowor
prlcos or prosout prlcos until all tho
llgures nro In and tho commlttco
has ended its deliberations. Tho brick
mon declaro that thoy cannot mako
n profit undor $12.
