Jones Law Fails
To Boost Price
In Speakeasies
By JOHN RANDOLPH
(INS) Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON — The National
Capital, settling back to watch
the operation and effects of the
lanes "five and ten” law, has come
with some surprise to the conclu-
rton that its effects upon the con-
turner here are practically neg-
but are somewhat more
considerable on the producer and
distributor. v
Although it is ancient custom for
consumer of any product to
y and pay and pay, when pro-
la restricted, the law of
tion seems to have eased
burden this time.
Par although the capital’s boot-
have become wary and have
watched with considerable un-
easiness the sentences handed down
for convictions here, the prices
have gone up only in the speak-
easies, where there is a general in-
crease of about ten cents a “shot.”
Prices Stay Down
The gentlemen who deliver but
do not sell at their places of busi-
ness at first were inclined to jump
their prices, but stern competition
has brought them back to the old
figures, particularly on the staple
product, gin.
Methods of supply, however,
have undergone some significant
changes—significant because they
show the distributors are really
afraid of the new law.
Many of the speakeasies are clos-
ing, because raids easily procure
convicting evidence. Those remain-
ing open are more careful of their
“clientele.”
But the bootleggers who only de-

T has been said that
the people of this coun-
try, as a rule, eat too
little fish. The con-
sumption of fish, how-
ever, is increasing and according to
some authorities, it is hound to be-
come a more and more common
food as time goes on. Fish is some-
times spoken of as a substitute for
meat It, like meat, is a protein
food, but besides this, it has certain
essentials that meat does not have.
Medical investigators have found
that there Is a relation between the
iodine in our food and goitre. Goitre
is much more prevalent in the cen-
tral part of the country than it is in
those parts adjacent to The two
coasts. Iodine Is fophd In sea
flBhes and in sea plants. The plant
life growing near the coasts has
also been found to contain iodine,
while that In the central part ot the
country is free from it.
The normal thyroid gland con-
tains iodine; a wee bit, to be sure,
but this small amount mast be sup-
plied by the food, otherwise a form
of goitre results. According to med-
ical authorities, the froe use of
marine fish, oysters and clams, will
do much toward preventing this
disease.
Another food‘essential that fish
contains is vitamin D, the vita-
min that protects against rickets.
Cod liver oil is its chief source, but
it is also found in practically all
fish oils. So there is very good rea-
son why fish should occupy a place
in our diet. The custom of having
fish on the table once a week is
most commendable.
From a nutritional standpoint,
the combination of fish with white
sauce, as shown in the recipes
which follow, is a good one. Fish
are protein foods and contain no
carbohydrates, so the combination
junction with the operation of its
business which is of such a wide-
spread public character.

First Time Feat Ever

latter was in flight Tuesday night periment in three of four
and the former's successful return
was said by the navy department
to be the first time that the feat
had been accomplished at night.
Lieut. A. W. Gordon piloted the

liver are continuing their opera-
tions, devising, however, more
elaborate systems to keep police
from their supply bases.
They, poor fellows, are in the
anomalous position of having to
be extremely careful of their trade
—protection against the informer—
and desiring not to lose it. They
want a good, safe clientele but
don't want to take chances of get-
ting it.
Alcohol Goes Up
Their alcohol has gone up about
two dollars a gallon, due to the in-
creased hazards of, alcohol running,
but the price has not settled to a
| fixed basis. Formerly this price was
ja constant and computable running
expense.
But now the alcohol runners, in-
addition to taking greater chances
in the most hazardous branch of
supplying the insatiable thirst of
the city, also must often risk an ad-
ditional five-year sentence by car-
rying a smoke screen.
Since he already is risking a five
year sentence and a $10,000 fine,
often he lumps ail Ws chances in
one and takes on.—an additional
risk to protect the first. Several
smoke screen outfits already have
been captured.
In the few convictions so far ob- !
tained against violators the sen-
tence has been from a $2,000 to j
K) fine and from two to three
years imprisonment. But as 'few
have been convicted few have
been brought to trial. Several have
taken guilty pleas and one was
freed.
The Washington consumer, who
expected the Jones law to bring
soaring prices, gets it just &s eas-
ily and gets it just as cheaply.
When the government hits its
stride and begins to really tighten
up on the trade it may be different,
[but he is doing no wailing yet.

Only a few years ago a tire com-
pany. at its own expense, put
markers along the Pacific highway
giving travelers at that time the •
only authentic information as to
the distance along the route.
Today, less than 15 years later,
the airplane has brought a new
method of travel. Few flyers know
anything about navigation or the
■art of following a course without
land marks to guide them. As a re-
Isult airway beacons are essential
for safety in flying, particularly at
night. * ^ a
The Richfi^p , OlV Company has
adopted a progressive program of
building ■ candlepower
steel tower beacons in conjunction
with its modern gas stations, ap-
proximately every 50 miles along |
[the Pacific highway from Canada
to Mexico. It is said that these
beacons are visible in clear weath-
ler for 50 miles and the light which
[ illuminates them will penetrate
fog and mist for a great distance.
Thus has a private company
