Claim That Lassies OF The Smoky

That Shouldn't Be.
by Union Associated Press.l

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 29.-That many
fair maidens of the Smoky City are
wont to celebrate Hallowee en- by strip
ping themselves of their maidenly re-
serve, and other things, and letting
loose all hold on the moral law is
the charge made by women Of the
local w. c. T. L., who have appealed
to the mayor and chief of police to do
something to stop the naughty cut
ups on next Halloween, now only
two days in the offing.
Many shocking stories are told of
the actions of pert young things who,
in past years, have donned coats,
vests and-well, trousers,-and under
the influence of the strange garb have
turned themselves loose in the gayest
of gay revels. Young ladies of some
of Pittsburg's most respectable fam
lilies, girls who have had the benefit
of church and Sunday school in their
upbringing, are alleged to have been
the chief offenders. 1t is said that
they have entered saloons, put their
little fotsy-wootsies on the brass rail,
puffed cigarette smoke in the face of
the outraged bartender, and after a

MISSOURI DEYS
have BIG PARADE
(By Union Associated Press.)

st. Louis, Oct. 29.-With the sub
mission of the prohibition to the
voters of Missouri now only ten days
distant, the "wets" and "drys" are
lining up in battle array prepared for
fight to the finish. A great parade
under the auspices of the Good Gov
eminent League was held today as a
means of arousing enthusiasm for the
dry" campaign. Men, women and
children marched in the long process
sion while other women and young
sters rode in carriages and on floats.
Hundreds of banners emblazoned with
dry" sentiments and appeals to down
the rum demon were carried in the
parade.
While the dry element is working
and praying, the "wets" have not been
idle. AS one of the greatest brewing
centers in the world, st. Louis would
suffer severely through the passage
of prohibition law, and the argu-
ments of the "wets" are based princi-
pally on economic grounds.
AS an argument in favor of contin-
uing the present local option system,
the "wets' point out the tax rate
in Missouri is much lower than in any
prohibition state, being $1.7O for
every $1,000 assessed, as compared
with $3.50 in the adjoining dry"
state of Kansas. The per capita cost
of municipal government is 1854 in
Kansas City and $13.27 in st. Louis,
comparing with 1917 in Memphis,
$22.97 in Atlanta and $1S.55 in Port
land, Me-, the last three being "dry"
cities.
Missouri has 3,SSS saloons, of which
1890 are in this city, GIG in Kansas
City and Jackson county, and 17S in
st. Joseph and Buchanan county. I'm
der the present license system, these
dramshops pay the state annually ST.

096,700 and large additional sums paid
by wholesalers, brewers and manufac-
turers in licenses and taxes.

the oldest of the quartette who had
the swing and the shout of the old
