REORGANIZATION OF DRY
UNIT PLANNED BY TREASURY
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 27.—
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Andrews indicated a reorganization
of the prohibition unit in the internal
revenue bureau of the treasury is in
prospect as a result of months of
study since he entered the office. He
stated that Commissioner Haines will
remain in charge of law enforcement
at present, and decried reports that
he would be liardboiled in effecting
i the reorganization.
He announced his intention to en
' courage honest workers, dismiss the
| crooks and “eliminate all sentiment.”
We suspect that a lot of hot-head
| ed people frequently get cold feet.

HENRY FORD GATHERS
ANCIENT AND MODERN
HISTORICAL VEHICLES
DETROIT, Apr. 28.—As the more
active days of his career respond
to the inexorable toll ot years, Henry
Ford is making a new claim to dis
tinction and in a new field histoiy.
The man who has been quoted as
saying “history is bunk” is quietly
gathering from all parts of America
what is regarded by historians as
one of the greatest collections ol
vehicles in existence.
The collection is just one of sever
al that slowly are being formed at
hs Dearborn, Mich., property.
Altho inaugurated primarily as
a collection of physical objects illus
trating the origin and progressive evo
lution of transportation facilities,
the collection now has overlapped
that limitation and has come to in
clude more or less completed lines
of specimens illusrouting the prog
ress of mechanical invention and
•uhievement in almost depart
ment <>; human interest.
!.; the collection mv i." found a
one-horse chaise “cna was built in
such a logical wav it ra . fo: a hund
red i i'rt;s and a day. Tb-re D a
fi.-.e old gig of the "o1 v.;a’ period
and a calash (or caleche) which was
thought very stylish by the Pilgrims.
Then there is an old mail coach of
the type used for passengers, bag
gage and mail, with provisions for
outside passengers on top.
There is the Conestoga wagon, 01
I prairie schooner, a genuine Ameri
can product that followed the first
mountain roads out of the eastern
states, threaded the vast plains
crossed the Rockies and brought the
first settlers to Oregon and Califor
nia. The Concord coach, which was
regarded as the last work in transpor
tation and was capable of 16 miles
an hour, also is represented , as also
is the Pennsylvania buckboard, some
times called the “Adam and Eve
Wagon,” because it was built for
two.
Other exhibits are the common
buckboard, which was the first of the
i American light spring wagons; the
phaeton, regarded late in *the eight
eenth century as the apex of style,
the victoria, the rockaway with its
small, enclosed body, the American
buggy often called the “queen” of
the horsedrawn passenger vehicles,
and an old coupe-sleigh of the early
statehood period.
A two-horse “cosiable” in the col
lection was considered the top of the
list of modern carriages in Civil War
days. There also is an American rac
ing sulky and several specimens of
ancient and modern fire fighting ap
paratus.
A curiosity is the old Dearborn
band wagon, with its spring seats
placed on an ordinary wagon box. It
was in this wagon, that Henry Ford,
an uncle of the automobile manufac
turer, played the fife in a musical
organization which also included a
flutist, one snare drum and one bass
drum player and an alternate bass
drummer.
The collection also includes the
first Ford automobile, with its four
high, solid-rubber tired, steel-spok
ed wheels, its dashboard, kerosene
headlight, steering rod and conspicu
ous flywheel of the exposed motor.
This vehicle was built in 1894.

24,000 Aliens Land In
America Each Month
WASHINGTON, I). C., Apr. 28.—
In the first eight months’ operation
of the new immigration act 1S9,602
aliens, representing many races, came
to American shores.. This shows an
average of a little under 24,000 a

nois 12,880; Massachusetts 20,450;

Ohio 5,923; Pennsylvania 10,637; Tex
as 10,425, and Washington state 7,

shows that Alabama, Arkansas, Col
orado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New
Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylva
nia, South Dakota, Utah and Wiscon
i sin had more Germans than any
other race settling within their bor
ders.
California, Florida, Idaho, Massa
chusetts, Michigan, North Carolina,
Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Washington and West Virginia had a
preponderance of English among
their newcomers.
Alaska, Minnesota, Montana, North
Dakota and Wyoming found a major
ity of their immigrants Scandinav
ians. In Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada,
New Mexico and Texas the greatest
influx was of Mexicans. Connecticut
Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Isl
and and Vermont attracted French
in greatest numbers, and Delaware
and New York found that the Irish
sought their borders in greatest
throngs.
Despite the Japanese exclusion pro
vision, 49S Japanese were admitted
as students and professional men.
No immigrants were recorded as
going to the Philippine Islands, Ne
vada showed the least number of
alien newcomers, 66, the Virgin Isl
ands received the lowest number
outside continental United States,
with 6. Alaska had but 52 immi
grants.
Oldest Citizen of France, 149,
Deplores Infirimities Son, 95
BORDEAUX, Apr. 28.—Jean Bap
tiste Rolland, who recently celebrat
ed his 149th birthday and is said to
be France’s oldest citizen, probably
owes his life to the fact that one of
his legs is six inches shrciei than
the other. As a consequence he has
escap-d s ervice in ar ike v ars which
have nj>ed during his lifetime
M. Rolland has three sons living.
The baby is 83, the second son is 87
and the oldest, Michael, is not quite
95. Discussing the latter M Rolland
recently said: “He is a poor sort.
He isn’t quite 95, but he is deaf,
half blind and not able to work. It
is too bad for a child to be in such
a state. I often wonder what will
happen to him if he should become
a really old man.”
Any grocer who extends credit
can refute the idea that the ultimate
consumer always pays the bill.
One of our merchants says he has
been as busy lately as a Herrin un
dertaken.
