Just taken princess Mary and prince
Albert on a tour of Waring and Gillow's
great tent making works It was a six
acre picture of animated industrialism
There are 1000 workers in this huge
factory They are mostly women and
girls. They come from all classes of
hfe,T the queen was told There are
officers wives. and dressmakers, and
gOvernesses. and washerwomen, and
domestic servants
'Ah, yes said the queen with
smile 4 know you've got domestic
servants You have taken the servants
from one Of my maids She went on to
make il clear, however, that she quite
approved Of the action of the girls.
They are working for their country"
she remarked. and I can quite under
stand that it is a very good thing for
them, because they earn more money"
Three thousand sewing machines are
in use in these works; 100000 yards OF
materials are used every day; and the
weekly consumption includes 30 tons Of
rope. seven tons OF thread and Irvine.
100000 of webbing. and 100000 wood

expected that the stringent law,
- affecting the sale Of alcoholic
drinks would cause any excitement or
disorder in the better sections of Lon
don, but in view OF the previous protest
meetings at the Smithfield Market and
along the docks, the Quietness with
which the enforcement passed in Bill
lingsgate and other round quarters of
the East End prove rather a surprise.
Taking the whole OF London. the re-
ception OF the rules has been favorable
When the public houses began the sale
OF alcoholic drinks at the noon hour
the first day under the new regime,
there was not observed any increase
in drinking until the period closed at
2.3O. Nor was there any attempt to
crowd in an unusual number Of drinks
during the two hours the bars were
open in the evening The sale Of tenn
peranee drinks between the prohibited
hours was slight IN a few quarters,
where men are employed on aIl-night
work, certain houses have been allowed
no open for limited time in the early
morning

Credit is Barred
One Of the most effective measures
TO promote temperance is the abolish
ment OF credit at the bars. This struck
severely the business of bars giving
credit to workmen- In the old days,
men used to gather in the bar and
drink on credit with the result they
had little or nothing left out of their
wages VIXEN paid
It is not the intention OF the control

70 promote temperance This work
is supplemented by The Home Counties

so as to get away from the old idea
OF the drinking palace and TO introduce
