PROHIBITION

Giant Killers

With a sack inside his vest, wily jack-the-giant-killer climbed the beanstalk and banqueted competitively with the Giant. While giant ate, Jack stuffed sack instead of stomach. Then, with a sword, he disgorged the sack's contents. Not to be outdone, the giant ripped himself open, died.

With hollow tubes inside their vests, wily Prohibition Agent H. H. Porter and assistants last week deployed on Atlantic City's boardwalk and drank with oldtime beer-hounds. While the beer-hounds drank, Agent Porter and crew put their liquor into their hollow tubes, to which access was available through the top vest-button. When the tubes disgorged their contents, the agents thought the giant Drink would be slain in Atlantic City. They had seen every sign af drunkenness in 15 different bars visited.

But the entubed beer analyzed at less than 1/2% of 1% alcohol. There was no legal case. Explained Agent Porter: "I never would have believed it. ... The saloonkeepers spray the tops of kegs of nearbeer with alcohol. That gives the taste and smell of alcoholic beer."
