AUTOMOBILE AND BOOZE
CONFISCATED IN TRANSIT
RIVERSIDE, Cal., April 25 (by As
sociated Press).-—An automobile and
its liquor contents appraised at
$10,000 according to prices said to pre
vail in Arizona, toward which state it
was being transported, has been con
fiscated by the Riverside county auth
orites. This, according to officials,
established a precedent in confiscation
incidental to enforcement of this
county’s bone-dry law.
The action was taken in connection
with the arrest of George A. Taylor
near Indio, Cal., while driving Arizona
ward an automobile containing 720
quarts of whiskey. He pleaded guilty
to the illegal transportation of liquor
over the bone-dry road of Riverside
county.
SPANISH FLU EPIDEMICS
MOVE PERIODICALLY
LONDON, April 2 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—London
scientists who are observing the op
erations of Spanish influenza say that,
so far as the British Isles are con
cerned, it moves in waves. The coun
try is just recovering from the third
wave within a year.
The disease first made its appear
ance here last July and began to sub
side toward the end of August. Eight
weeks later, in October, it reap
peared, and by the middle of Novem
ber had apparently run its career.
The third wave came in January, and
by the early days of March had ap
parently done its worst.
Physicians point out that if the
disease is to remain for an indefinite
period another wave may be expected
toward the end of April, and are warn
ing the people to take all necessary
precautions.
