Counterfeiting reduced during the past fiscal year of the preto less than vious years volume, 500 more moonshine stills were seized, and liquor smuggling was kept down to a negligible figure, the Treasury announces in reporting on the work of its various enforcement agencies. Whereas in 1938 the amount of counterfeit notes turned over to the secret service by banks and innocent recipients was $736,670, and the value of spurious coins was the respective amounts in 1937 were $487,643 and $64,750. In addi-tio$122,767 in notes and $3,253 in coins were seized in 1937 from counterfeiters themselves. The increase of 512 in the number of stills seized was accounted for by stronger enforcement, with an increased personnel in Alabama and Georgia. Figures showed that stills captured in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia totaled 6,620 out of all the 16,141 captured. Alabama led with 2,466. Moonshining must have been a very poor investment in Maine and Vermont, for in each atate only one still was seized. The only large increase in the number of captures was in Alabama, where 1,091 more stills were raided than in the previous year. For the rest of the country there was a decline of 944, with most of the states sharing in the decrease. Treasury statisticians estimated that moonshiners lost $3,977,179 through capture of their products and equipment, automobiles, etc. In all, 29,476 whisky makers were DI AMONDS WATCHES SILVERWARE two-thir- South 11th Eait 210C JEAN RENE ( School of the Dance STUDIO NOW LOCATED At 1201 E. 21st South ds $67,-53- TAP, BALLET, will be featured. aa to prices and can be made at Hyland phoning1 BALLROOM Information appointments Studio or by 4098-N- V. n, ; !

Only half a dozen persons were arrested as compared with 48 in 1936. The bureau of narcotics ended the year with 3,469 arrests, seizure of 3,962 ounces of narcotic drugs and 115 automobiles, as compared with 3,333 arrests and seizures of 3,280 ounces of drugs and 109 automobiles in 1936.

Evidence of a prehistoric race of cave dwellers that buried its women and children and cremated its men has been discovered by University of Kentucky anthropologists in rock shelters of eastern Kentucky. The anthropologists Profs. W. S. Webb and W. D. Funkhouser completely excavated the Newt Kasch shelter in Menifee county and reported it differed greatly from caves in surrounding counties. There was a decided dearth of flint, pottery and bone but an unusual amount of vegetable matter and some surprisingly fine fabric. The excavating party was puzzled by a series of large pits dug in the subsoil instead of in the ash beds as was the usual custom. It was believed the pits were used for storage purposes. Other features of the cave were several masses of matting, cane grass and fragments of textiles. It was believed they were used as mattresses or possibly as bags for transporting food to the shelter. Only one burial site was found in the shelter proper. Located between two large boulders, the grave contained the fragmentary remains of a male infant. In no other Shelter! in Kentucky have graves containing male bones been found, although large numbers of female skeletons have been discovered. as WELDING?

Liquor is not the CASTLE GATE BLUE BLAZE ABERDEEN KING COAL the department concludes, are hunger, improper eating and the hypnotic influence of long, humdrum driving and road watching. According to Prof. Eric Ogden, good driving requires an even flow of blood through the brain, and this situation is affected by a lack of food and overeating. The obvious remedy for the man on the road, he insists, is to take frequent and light meals without any effort to compensate by intoxicating liquids. The fact that the driver is often compelled to gaze continuously at the white strip of road ahead while the motor drones along, also sets the stage of hypnosis, Ogden believes. In such circumstances, the driver may be likely to go too fast, and have difficulty in keeping on hia own side of the road. Other physical conditions affecting driving are said to be vibration, muscular activity, anxiety, mental activity and fatigue as they all diminish the brains blood supply and impair the correct working of stable driving habits. In the opinion of Ogden, driving of an automobile should be as casual and as natural an operation as walking. The driver who finds it necessary continually to use his wits in order to avoid accidents, is more prone to run into them than one who drives instinctively. Incidentally, Ogden ia inclined to believe that the driver who ia continually compelled to use his wits is likely to be more sensitive to alcohol than one who does not. Ogden believes that automobile driving courses should be incorporated in the high school curriculum and that students should be subjected to a full days driving test tq bring out any hidden mental or physical defects that might affect their driving.

Among a few of the other causes, American Indians' Songs Being Put Upon Records Philadelphia. The literature, history and songs of the American Indian, dying under the stress of modern life, are being preserved in wax by a group of anthropologists and psychologists interested in the philosophy of the first inhabitants of America. Dr. Frank G. Speck, professor of anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, an authority on Indian life, is helping to record for posterity the saga of the red races. Records are being made of primitive dances, hymns of praise and hate, the incantations of medicine men and all the rites of a war powwow. Modern mass production has taken Indians from the ancient trades of weaving and pottery-makin-g and awing music and dancing have outmoded the age-ol- d Sun Dance, sounding the death knell of Indian art and life as a distinctive part, of America, according to Dr. Speck. Indian tribes, including the Iroquois, the Delawares and other groups, at first feared that the records would be a source of ridicule at the hands of white men, but they assented to Dr. Speck's request when he assured them that learned men wanted to study their customs by that method. .
