OFFICERS MAKE HEAVY
HAUL OF WHISKEY
DURING HOLIDAYS
State policemen Whitaker and
Mullins were on the Georges
Fork road two days before Christ,
mas, and a car parked near the
Mae Branham place attracted
their attention. Maybe they had
a report on the car or maybe it
just aroused their suspicion. Any
way they decided to have a look
on the inside and as they open
ed the car door the first thing
they saw was a quantity of red
whiskey on the front seat. They
made further search, finding
whiskey and wine stored here
and there inside. When they
finished and made count, they
had 27 1-2 gallons of whiskey
and five quarts of wine.
Next, they found that the car
was owned by Ross Greer and
that it was being driven by Mrs.
Greer, and that Kermit Large of
near Cranes Nest bridge was the
reputed owner of the whiskey
and wine.
Large and Mrs. Greer wre tak
en in charge and placed under
bond for a hearing before the
trial justice at Clintwood Satur
day, Jan. 3.
The car, whiskey and wine
were impounded, awaiting dispo
sition of the case to determine
whether the property would be
confiscated and sold or not.
Large was convicted in trial
justice court here three or four
months ago on a whiskey charge.
According to information, it is
unlawful for any person to pos
sess more than one gallon df le
gal whiskey.
ETAOIN SHRDLU
Etaoin Shrdlu is perhaps the
best known comic character in
the American press. With sfll
the puckishness of Harpo Marx
himself, he popsc up in the most
unexpected places and at the
most unexpected places and at
the most inopportune times, al
ways to be widely applauded for
his incomparable drollery. So it
may be of interest to know what
his origin is.
He is popularly believed to be
the result of some mechanical er
ror no the part of the Linotype
machine. This is thought to slip
a cog, or some other dido and
thus bring him into being. This
is incorrect. He is the result of
an error not on the part of the
machine but on the part of the
operator. What happens is that
the operator makes some kind of
slip so that he does not wish to
complete the line he is working
on. But the inner works of the
Linotype machine are such that
a line must have a certain
amount of letters dropped into
it before it can be sent in to the
mould to be cast. So the operator
feeds it letters as quickly as he
oan by running his finger down
the bank of keys—etaoin shrdlu
—expecting to throw out the
faulty line when it has come
from the mould, but sometimes
forgetting to do so.
They keys are arranged in this
order:
e s c v x
t h m b z
a r f g
0 d w k
1 i y q
nupj
So it easily be seen that when
he runs his fingers down t \h e
first two rows, , etaoin shrdlu
stands a good chance of getting
into the paper and that if a few
more letters are needed, and the
operator starts into the third
bank, etaoin will have a few hon
orary degrees.
Etaoin Shrdlu is 44 years old,
having been born in 1885 on the
same day as the Linotype ma
chine. He is unmarried. He in
forms us that he has taken the
blindfold test and chosen Old
Golds without even having to use
what he laughingly calls his
brain.—New York World Tele
