CANADIAN DETECTIVES AFTER
HUNTING SEVEN YEARS
LOCATE A CLUE.
VANCOUVER, B. C., Jan. 19. (JP)—
* After searching for seven years in
all parts of Western Canada, po
lice are confident that they have
located a large quantity of explo
sive stolen from the government
dock here the latter part of 1918
and early in 1919.
These explosives were stacked
on the docks to be shipped to Si
beria but by the time the ships
were ready to load the T.N.T. and
other material had disappeared.
Certain interests with soviet inT
* clinations were blamed for the
theft, but the police were unable
. to prove it .
Every effort was made to ascer
tain whether the thieves wanted
the dangerous cargo for local use
* or were stealing it to prevent it
being shipped to Siberia, but the
curiosity of the authorities was
never appeased.
Twice small parcels of what was
thought to be the famous ship
ment came to light, but in both
instances there was no certainty.
Recently, however, the police de
tectives unearthed a trail that leads I
to the belief that one cache in
South Vancouver is large enough
to destroy the city, while another
was shipped in a small boat out!
of the north arm of the Fraser
River, possibly bound for some Bol
shevist settlement down the coast,
or for the destruction of a rum chas
er of the coast of California.
No definite information can be
obtained as to the exact destina
tion of the dangerous, cargo but de
tectives are working on the case.
WHAT THE SANITARY CRANK
HAS SEEN IN CAFES v
I have sene a waiter wipe his
sweaty forehead with the towel be
carried on his arm for wiping dishes.
I have sene knives, forks and
spoons, which had been used a short
time before, simply wiped on a not
too clean tea-towel without even
dipping them in water.
I have seen tumblers, after having
been used at table, simply wiped
with a not too clean tea-towel with
out even dipping them in water.
I have seen knives, forks, spoons
and tumblers, after used at table,
rinsed in greasy yellowish dish water
and then wiped with a tea-towel
which was an aprpoach to rubber
roofing in color.
I have seen restaurant kitchen help
pass hands through their hair and
then handle sliced bread.
I have seen two mice jump out of
a bread box and the sliced bread
therein sent to the table as Lf nothing
had happened to it.
I have seen a waiter pick two flies
out of a glass of milk with his fin
gers and then place it on a table to
be drank by a child.
I have seen a cook at a nickel
bound grill in -white cap and coat,
insert his finger in his mouth to
scratch the interior surface and upon
removal immediately pick up a nice
porterhouse steak and place it upon
the broiler.
I have seen flies proceed direct
from a spittoon to a bowl of berries
on the counter which were waiting
there to be served when called for.
I have seen a cook change his shoes
and socks in his kitchen and then,
without washing his hands, proceed
to the handling of food.
I have seen a bowl of sugar spilt
upon the floor, then picked up with
the hands and carried directly to the
table.
I have seen a basket of lettuce
sitting on the floor in a restaurant
kitchen and a dog belonging to the
cook, but never mind—
I have already probably seen too
much and will cease with the obser
vation that we eat heaps of microbes
without receiving any harm and then
again harm does result.—Exchange.
