KANSAS CITY, April 6 -(UP)--The bootlegger still does business at the same old stand in the dry states of the southwest. Due to repeal the stand may operate behind a "beer and pretzels" sign with the hard stuff tucked behind barrels of 3.2 beverage but the disguise is slim. The gentleman with the bar swipe and the white apron very probably is the same party who brought the quart around to the door in other days. Repeal is responsible for a slight reduction in prices and a greater variety of choice. Bonded and blended liquor 5s obtainable in great volume, and fine wines are available to those who have the price.

But old tastes are hard to break, and in the arid sections of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas--states that didn't join the wet parade and aren't likely to- home made distillations groxvn famous locally through the long years of prohibition, still finds favor. Even alcohol, the old stand by in the drought areas, where it became Spring Values are Here! Talk about good news! Those low grocery prices are good news--especially to thrifty housewives.

gin or whisky on a moment's notice, still has its devotees, and the art of "thumbing" bottles of near beer spiked with alcohol is not lost. In Kansas, the state out of which Carrie Nation stormed around the turn of 'the century to plague barkeeps and demolish backtmrs with her flashing hatchet, drinking is taking on a sophistication unknown a few months ago. Anything resembling a night club was practically unknown in Kansas before repeal, but today about the urban centers are numerous dine and dance places. Sale of 3.2 beer is legal and behind many a foaming seidel of beer lurks a whisky glasj. Sale of bonded liquor and the numerous blends has not caught the fancy or the bootleg trade to a great extent in Kansas.

Grain alcohol, selling for from $5 to $'8 a gallon remains the standard drink base. It is used in spiking near beer or in making sythetio gin and whisky at the kitchen sink. Bootleg whisky also retains a following despite the ease with which commercially manufactured gcods can be imported from wet Missouri. Whiskies made in the southeastern part of the state are so well known they are ordered by the trade names they have acquired. Favorite brands at Topeka are "Pittsburgh Deep Shaft." In Wichita "Andover Tye" is the big Kansas will vote on prohibition repeal this fall but observers who like their liquor, as well as the drys, predict the law will not be changed.

One of the pioneer dry states, Kansas got along nicely for years fore national prohibition and. expects to continue doing so in the future. The liquor is available for those who want it. In Nebraska a somewhat similar situation exists. The state will vote on repeal of the state prohibitionary law this fall but sentiment for repeal appears to be diminishing.

Ecottleggers still maintain their connection with the thirsty, and the price of alcohol and corn whisky remains around $5 a gallon for the better type and less for the second run stuff. The sugar beet fields in the western portion of the state produce the supply for the better grade alcohol. In Lincoln open drinking still is taboo, but in Omaha, as in Kansas, beer gardens serve as a front for the sale of anything from near beer to whisky and gin highballs made from cheap ingredients. In the Ohama hotels elaborate bars have been established and membership cards issued to the drinking gentry. There a foot may be placed on a bar rail and drinks downed at 50 cents each.

-The price in the less pretentious establishments range from 25 to 35 cents a drink. Recent raids, however, have slowed the Omaha liquor traffic. Police aimed high when they started and the Hotel Pontenell bar was among the first to fall. A fine store of liquor and wine was confiscated. Oklahoma, so dry a doctor may not even prescribe whisky, shows little change under repeal.

Prices have droped about 25 cents a quart on products distilled in the eastern hills section, and beer of the 3.2 variety is obtainable in most stores and shops. Some liquor comes In through Missouri, and a few planes bring expensive stuff for the wealthy from Canada and PJorida. Much of the whisky made in the Kiamichi Hills is sold under labels indcating it is bonded quality. The price average is around $1.25 a quart. Blended whisky, brought from Missouri, retails at around $1.75 and $2.00.

The bootlegger still brings the stuff around to the houses on call, or if one isn't in a hurry he may leave an order with the milk man and get his bottle next day with the day's cream supply. There is a movement for repeal of the state dry law, but it will take at least 106,000 signatures to get the matter on the ballot and sentiment is not great. In Texas prohibition varies with the location. Many of the inland towns are dry and not all the large cities permit drinking openly. Galveston probably is the wettest, untouched by prohibition and but mildly interested when repeal came.

El Paso also has made it easy to slake a thirst, but the city tax collectors served notice that taxes would be collected on liquor stocks the same as on other merchandise. Drinks of Mexican manufacture and potency are featured. Dallas remains outwardly circum- snsct, and while it is not easy to obtain liquor by the drink over the beer bars the hard stuff can be had by the bottle. The taste for bathtub gin seems to have lost favor in Texas with so- called rum taking its place. The stuff is made from alcohol, distilled water and flavoring- The price is around S2.30 a gallon.

There is. of course, no scarcity of moonshine liquor, rye or corn. UTILITY TO APPEAL A LOST DAMAGE CASE SPRINGFIELD, April 6-(UP)--The Empire District Electric Company, Ozark.

Degree of Hospital Attention Needed by Gadwood Debated KANSAS CITY, April 6--(AP) -There appeared to be a difference of opinion here today is to need of hospital attention for John Gadwood, held on murder charge in connection with an election day slaying. Gadwood, who surrendered to city detectives after a search of several days, was questioned as to his election activities all night Wednesday. The following morning there were claims by Gadwood and his attorneys that he had been subjected to a "third degree," and shortly thereafter two members of the detective force were suspended.
