In a nonprohlbltlon country will get
drunk now nnd then. Ono reason for
our prohibition wave is tho fact that
many Americans have no moderation
lu their use of alcohol, and that they
sometimes tend, when drunk, to tear
up the sidewalks,' writes Will lrwiu, in
the Suturday Evening Post.
Your French pollu, who, In Ids reac
tion from the trenches took to liquor,
got a blissful nnd gonial Jng, which ex
pressed Itself lu talkativeness nnd in
flirtation. The American whooped It
up.
As two coyotes on a moonlight night
can give tho impression of a whole
wolf pack, so two drunken Americans
could give the appcaruuee of a drunk
en army. They might bo surrounded
by fifty pollus, all half sens over; It
was tho Americans whom one noticed.
TIiIh tendency brought its most de
plorable effects In Paris. Tho capital
of the world wns not a lenvc center.
Nevertheless nil sorts of commissions
and activities centered there; soldiers
were constantly coming and going on
military errands; moreover, though
Tarls was ofllclnlly barred, men never
theless got Paris lenvc by pull or ca
jolery. In spite of the provost marshal
nnd tho military police wo nlwnys nnd
the American drunk with is) uiul
when present ho nlwnys announced
himself. The French, who, as I have
said, grow merely genially expansive
with liquor, dtd not like this.

As soon ns women have tho vote
nnd tho league of nations becomes n
renllty, says Dr. Annn Howard Shaw,
she Is going to be a "gay young girl."
As It is, no one would suspect her of
being past seventy. And she likes to
tell stories on herself, This Is one
sho told in Indianapolis to a group
of friends:
"When I was in California recently,
folks kept coming up to me nnd say
ing. 'How young you look, In most
surprised tones. Well, it begnn to
wear on me. Why shouldn't I look
young? So when n young girl came
up and said It for the 'steenth time,
I said, 'So do you look young.'
"And then I learned the renson for
all the surprise. The newspapers had
been told that I was in California in
'00 with Miss Antiiony. It had some
how got twisted to read: 'Dr. Shaw
wus ninety-six when she wns here
with Miss Anthony. That would have
made me nbout 120 years old."
Caught at Last.
A father said to his pretty daugh
ter one morning:
"What time did you send that young
Simpson home last night?"
"Oh," replied the girl, "I don't think
It was very late."
"It must have been close to mid
night I"
"Why,, father?"
"Didn't you send him out tho back
door nnd hurry off to bed' when you
beard me coming In?"
-"Why, futher, I had been In bed for
hours."
"You heard me, then?"
"Yes, you woke me up." "
4And you had been in bed for
Hours?"
"Ur huh I"
"Thnt certainly Is funny I"
"Why?"
"Because when I went to light tht
lamp I nenrly burned my hands of! on
the hot chimney." -Youngstown Tele
