No Booze Test Certain,
Says Health Chemist
Detroit.—Those who would test the
1922 brand of booze before they drink
it were offered little encouragement by
board of health chemists Wednesday.
Those white-befrocked men say they
are uot aware of any simple method by
which such a test can be made—no way
within the power of the layman by
which be can distinguish between the
good and the bad.
It is possible, by use of a hydrometer,
to determine the alcoholic content of
liquor, but this in itself, they contend,
will be of little assistance, because it
does not show the type of alcohol.
F. E. DeVoist, board of health chem
ist, said he was not aware of any
method by which the liquors of today
could be tested as to their worth, ex
cept through an intricate chemical an
alysis. ‘‘I wish there was a way, it
would be very helpful, but as far as I
know’ there is none. It is mv opinion,
however, that most of the harm is done
by drinkers not knowing when they
have had enough. I believe it is not so
much the booze they drink as it is the
amount.
Mr. DeVoist said tests made by his
department show many grades of al
cohol are used in' the manufacture of
liquors. Many of these he declared to
be very injurious. He warned against
indiscriminate use of liquors without
tirst ascertaining their origin.
$15,000 a Week Profit Being
Made by Niagara Rum Runners
Hamilton, Ont.—Bootleggers of this
city, operating between Waterloo and
the Niagara border, are making week
ly profits of between -110,000 and $15,
000, it is said.
The Niagara border spells “For
tunatus.”
Whisky for which they paid $42 per
case nets them anywhere. from $10 to
$ 15 a bottle on the Canadian side of the
border, and the risk is with the Amer
ican carrier. Americans will pay as
much as $50 per bottle if they are as
sured the “wells” haxe not been poi
soned. The illicit liquor traffic has
been diverted from the Detroit river
because of the sharp vigilance main
tained there of late.
Seventy cases of Waterloo whisky at
$42 per case, sold for, say, $12.50 per
bottle, means an immediate profit of
$108 per case, or a total profit of $7,560
on one truckload, and he is a poor
bootlegger who fails to “run" two
trucks through per week.

Gould’s Ex-Wife Says No More
Stupid Millionaires for Her
Washington.—Take it from Edith
Kelly Gould, girls, never, never marry
a millionaire. They won’t “stay put.’
the beautiful divorced wife of Frank J.
Gould said here Monday in an inter
view.
“No more millionaire dumb-bells for
me,” sighed Edith, who last weett
startled a court by presenting a bill of
annual expenses which ran up to $160,*
000, and included a little item of 818,000
for pink underthings alone. She wants
the court to award her chat much from
Frank J.
“It’s a dog’s life,” sighed Edith,
“this being the wife of a millionaire.
While I lived with 'Frank 1 was a cross
between a lap dog and a slave.
“One milli< uaire is enough for me,
in fact too mueh. Millionaire husbands
alwavs hold their money as a club over
your head. If vou don’t do as they bid
they threaten to hold up your allow
ance.
“I would rather scrub floors. I’m
working for my living now, and it’s
paradise compared with living with a
stupid millionaire.”
Show Girl’s Suit May Hinge
on Definition of Word ‘Vamp’
Chicago.—Upon the detinition of the
word “vamp” may depend the verdict
in the slander and breach of promise
suits for $100,000 filed by Mary Lvgo,
former show girl, against Mrs. William
C. Camp and her son, Gordon Thorne
In the declaration placed oH file Mon
day by C. E. Erbstein. Miss Logo's at
torney, he says a vamp is “one who
makes her living by preying on others;
a designing, immoral and unscrupulous
woman, who would obtain favors of
men without regard for the laws of
God or man; one addicted to idleness
and immorality, making her living
from men by extortion, blackmail and
immoral means.”
Hence, the attorney argues, Mrs.
Camp slandered his client when she is
alleged to have referred to her as a
“vampire.” According to the declara
tion, Mrs. Camp accused Miss Lvgo of
attempting to ruin her son.
