Great Craning Of Necks.

signals to try to find out what was in the
wind.
In the walk from the Treasury to 9th
street, on Pennsylvania avenue, an actual
count by the seven members of the party
divulged SO few young people that the
number seemed ridiculous. A few poor,
half-starved little shoestring sellers ran
in and out of crowds around tho moving

worth fighting. Two girls of thirteen or

Young Boys Buy Drinks.
The Summers went into an attractive

a few who were smoking so much that it
was impossible to see clearly from one
end of the short room to the other.
Washington, which has been held up as
SO bad. was certainly good last night-at
least Rev. Zed II. Copp and party found
it SO.
However. Mr.. Copp was asked his opin-

Although we did not see very much in
this evenings walk, I still insist that
that drinking PLACES where the young

One object of the tour was to furnish
data for report from Rev. Mr.. Copp to
the public order committee Of the Board
of Trade. He said he had asked for the
privilege of sending in comments after a
tour of the sort taken. Mr.. Copp is still
of the opinion that a curfew law Is
needed badly. although he said that the
summers did not dig up anything that
was startling.
The one striking feature of the tour
was the very evident fact that tho men
who Il year ago We're making a great deal
of money by selling liquor to young
girls are now getting along without that
trade. Coupled with this, however, was
tho very evident fact in ono of the palm
bedecked drinking parlors that the police
had forgotten their promise to see to it
that no minors should be served with
intoxicants. The minors in this place
were few in number. not more than six.
but they comprised nearly the entire
company present, other than Mr.. Cops

would have required blind waiter and a
blind proprietor to be able to avoid be-
