Lamed Horses, Troubles on the Federal front also helped to send leading liquor shares into a deep, dark nose-dive on the New York Stock Exchange last week. First hint had come when a virtual embargo was clamped on liquor imports. It was learned that President Roosevelt had listened sympathetically to a Brain Trust idea of forming a government corporation to handle the entire wholesale liquor business.

Lieutenant Tito Falconi, young Ital- ian stunter who last fortnight broke his own world's endurance record for upside-down flying with a 3 hr., 8 min. flight from St. Louis to Chicago, did a topsy-turvy climbing bank and "dead stick'' dive.
