Several features in 1913 models
have been combined to enliven the
interest of women in automobils. The
Widespread adoption Of the self-starter

dealt with progress that has been
made in the fight in this state against
the sale of liquor. as we'll as making
Ia number of recommendations con-
corning future work. In part, Mr..
Griffith said:
Keep liquor Out of Hotels.
Experience has proven many laws
made by our legislature to aid better
ing the conditions of our citizenship
have been successful but none have
added to the comfort of the travelling
public more than the law passed two
years ago that prohibited the drinking
of liquors on the trains. The public
need protection from another nuis-
ance. that is the noise and uproar
made in hotels at all hours Of the
night by carousing guests Of the hotel.
The proprietors Of hotels are helpless
to prevent much Of the disturbance
that often occurs but the passage of
the bill introduced making it a mis-
demeanor to bring or drink liquor in
a hotel in North Dakota should be
at to the public.
