Mrs. Fixen is a Norwegian and her
accent gave an interesting turn to
her words, Her lecture followed fun
damental lines on the subject of tenn
perance and was particularly directed
against the retail method of distri-
button through the saloon. Through
out her speech was characterized by
|earnestness rather than oratorical
effect, and she INDUCED in humor
only sparingly. Answering the reve-
nue. argument of the saloon support
ers, she caused amusement by say
ing that she preferred crooked
streets with straight men to walk
down them, to straight improved
streets with men to walk crooked
down them. Mrs. Fixen said that one
half the area of the United States
was under prohibition. After her lee
ture many in the audience shook
hands with her, and Mr.. Shaw said
he wanted this social feature cult
waited. and asked the audience to al
ways feel free to meet the various
entertainers. This morning Mrs. Fix
