INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY
No Use for Police Station In New Zsa

No-LIcense Law.

The following interesting bit of his
tory is given by Rev. G. H. Mann Of
New Zealand:
Just before this system (prOhibi-
tom came into operation, plans were
passed for enlarging the police station
of Geraldine, but on the eve of cleo,
ton the work was delayed for a while.
That police station has never been
enlarged to this day. l was in the
station and found that one of the
cells had been turned into a dark
room for photography another was
used for making picture blocks, an
other was a lumber room, while an
other was used as a storeroom for
the sergeants gardening tools.

DRINKER IS THE MARKED MAN
Announcement by Churchill Shove
Evidence Of Widespread Change
In Habits Of Seamen.

In the British house of commons re-
Gently Mr. Churchill made a most in
teresting announcement which shows
in a somewhat conspicuous manner
how the change in drinking habits has
affected the navy. Heretofore a sailor
who did not want the grog ration, I'M
fortunately allowed, has been marked
"T"-meaning the teetotal exception
to the rule. In the future 1t is the
sailor wanting the grog ration who is
to be labeled. Over against his name
will be the mark "G"-meaning grog
The position is thus reversed and the
drinker instead of the abstainer will
be the marked man. The change is
not little significant 1t Is evidence
Of a widespread and salutary change
in the habits of the seamen and the
views of his superiors.
