Traffic accidents are being effect-
ively reduced at Cleveland, Ohio, by
a newly organized and unique ’homicide
squad that is doing much to insure
the safety of that city’s streets.
The plan, which is being studied in
other locaities in the hope that by
adopting it traffic fatalities elsewhere
may be lowered, consists in maintain-
ing a squad of trained investigators
competent to secure evidence that will
hold in court and fix blame on the
person responsible for the accident.
Two police officers—a sergeant and
a patrolman—comprise the working
crew. As soon as a traffic accident is
reported these officers hurry to the
scene in their Chevrolet used expressly
for this purpose and secure all avail-
able data. One man is a skilled pho-
tographer and takes pictures of the
scene from a number of different
angles. The other carries a typewriter
and makes out a complete report right
on the spot.
The names of all parties are taken,
as are those of all witnesses, and
statements from everybody are typed.
By getting statements immediately, as
well as photographs to introduce into
court at trial, the police have complete
1 and accurate information on which to
base a prosecution if anyone is shown
to be at fault.
In addition to its Chevrolet which
has the essential' speed and snap to
get the investigators to the scene
quickly, the squad has complete pho-
tographic equipment including a dark
room for developing pictures Imme-
diately after an accident, two officers
to which principals and witnesses are
often brought and quizzed, filing cab-
inets. and draughting materials to
mlake sketches of the scene. This
squad is said to be the only one of its
kind in the United; States.

SHOP ON THE BAY FRONT. NEAR THE REGULAR HARBOR
Hitting home brewers, and wine
mail’s, physicians, druggists;, man-
ufacturers and religions bodies em-
ploying intoxicants for sacramental
purposes, new regulations; tb tighten
up prohibition enforcement were made
public last Saturday night by the
treasury department at Washington,
D. 0.
Effective October 1, many compli-
cated and drastic rules will be laid
down by the prohibition bureau aimed
at drying up the United States.
iFarmers, who, since the eighteenth
amendment, have produced and con-
sumed virtually all the hard cider
they desired, must under the regu-
lations, dispose of this beverage as
soon as it becomes intoxicating.
The regulations neglect to define
“intoxicating,’’ and whether fruit
wines of more than half of 1 per
cent alcohol ma/y be produced for
home use still remains a mystery.
Rapping the home wine producer,
however, the dry “handbook” holds
that dried fruits, raisins, prunes,
dandelions, rhubarb or similar plants
can not legally be used in the manu-
facture of non-intoxicating beverages.
The addition of sugar or other fer-
mentable matter to apple juice to ob-
tain alcohol is forbidden.
Cider which develops a kick may
be disposed of to vinegar manufac-
turers and that of over half of 1 per
cent alcohol may be sold to food man-
ufacturers to put recoil in Thanksgiv-
ing mince pies.
Gin is forbidden for sacramental
purposes. For family religious rites
a limit of five gallons anually is
fixed unless the prohibition adminis-
trator finds that such a volume is
not sufficient to meet all requirements
of worship.
Babbies, priests or others having
quantities of sacramental wine in
their possession must keep it in bur-
glarproof vaults.
Druggists must furnish pure liquor
i on prescription and keep an accurate
! record of whiskey received and dis-
i posed of.
Whiskey prescriptions ; (hereafter
must be filed within three days after
issuance.
Doctors cannot prescribe for their
ow’d use. If they need medicinal
liquor they must obtain a prescrip-
tion from another physician. An-
other rule, designated to end medi-
cine drinking by thirsty alcoholites
forbids physicians from writing pre-
scriptions for more than six fluid
ounces of any medicine in which
j potable distilled spirits are used.
Effective October 1. all permits for
handling and manufacturing intoxicat-
ing liquor for nonsbeverage purposes
must be renewed annually. No per-
mits will he issued for some time and
manufacturers of medicinal whiskey
as the present supply is sufficient for*
immediate needs of t!he people for
some time, it was said.

Ready to Drill Shallow Well Soon
Our heavy derrick and machinery has been moved 350
feet to the south east of our present location, putting
us on the shallow structure in which we found such good
showings of oil and gas. And we believe the seepage
into No. 7 came from this depth; as.the oil was found
to come from under the casings.
We believe we are on this shallow structure because
we had the sandy limerock which was from 20 — 30
feet thick at No. 4 and 5 well, and we are now on line
with these wells but 160 feet to the east.
We had Smith Brooks down to test and his tests show
very good for the shallow sand.
We are offering a 1-32 over riding royalty to the first
100 buyers at $6,000, divided into 100 Interests of $60
each; $30 cash and $30 in 30 days.
This 1-32 cfver riding royalty is from the two old com-
panies’ remaining acreage leases, amounting to about
4,000 acres. The first $6,000 produced from this well
in oil or gas will be repaid as an extra bonus to the
buyers of the 1-32 over riding royalty.
This is a good proposition. The funds will be used to
drill this shallow well which can be done in 30—50 days
as soon as we spud in. We expect to spud in early part
of next week.
jSend in your check for $30 or $60 to John Sigmund,
Trustee, for the 1-32 over riding royalty owners. Re-
member we cannot sell more than 100 Interests at $60
an Interest.
We have an experienced, old driller on the job, who is
cool and has made many wells and we believe he will
make us a well this time. We feel confident that we
had good oil and gas showings at the 2,200 foot level,
but no wells were completed correctly at this strata.
