THE PRESS AGENT FOR BOOZE.

The brewery press agent is hard at work.
His latest bit of enterprise is shown in two col
umns of argument printed in English in the
Japanese newspaper Hawaii Shinpo
The brewery press agent uses up lot OF
words and large amount of space trying to
convince the japanese that prohibition in lia-
wall would be against their best interests. He is
particularly vigorous in his endeavOrs to show
that the poor, downtrodden japanese laborer
should be allowed to rejoice himself, in his few
idle moments, drinking sake. He attempts to
prove that the japanese labor in the" territory
will be dissatisfied under prohibition.
1t is needless to recite the long argument he
sets forth, and needless to answer it in detail.
All the answer needed is the statement that
the Shnpo's contribution bears the internal
mark of having been written by the press agent
for booze. The japanese won't be deceived by
it and the few others who read it will see at
once the hand of the liquor interests.

Taxi Shortage
Causes Kicks
In London

LONDON, Feb. S.-The taxi shortage
in London has caused the public to fill
the mail bags of hte local newspapers
with complaints regarding the insol-
ence of drivers and the whistling nuis-
ance. During rush hours, especially
during dinner and theatre times, driv-
ers often refuse to take fares unless
they chance to be going in the direc-
tion the driver favors. This Is due to
tie rule that drivers when not carrying
passengers must pay for their own
gasoline. A movement for a law to
prevent the use of whistles to call taxis
is suggested but while putting down a
nuisance, it would not help transpor-
alton facilities.
The real trouble is traced to the en-
listment of competent drivers. Because
of this, some of the taxi companies
have temporarily retired from bust
ness. Scotland Yard has Kindred the
substitution of new drivers by a re-
fusal to relax on the strict geograph-
ical examination of former days. Then,
every candidate had to show an init
mate knowledge of London's streets
and by-ways. Many women could cas-
lily qualify on the mechanical side and
show fair general knowledge of Lon
don, if the rules were relaxed. Mean
time, Londoners who used to look
down on plebian modes of travel are
taking to the backgrounds and the
buses, which maintain excellent SER
vice Notwithstanding the war.

Pearl Industry
I hrives Tn The
German Seas

BERLIN, Feb. Sit is not generally
known, but Germany has not incon-
siderable pearl industry, and in the
last 100 years many thousands of the
gems have been fished up out of the
waters of the various German rivers.
Bavaria has been the most produc-
tive portion Of the Empire. A total of
ISIS, $3.50 pearls, it is estimated, were
found there between 1914 and 1857 and
the annual aggregate has only decreas-
ed as the waters of Bavarian rivers
have been spoiled by various Industrial
projects.
The most productive river has al
ways been the Elster in saxony, which
for centuries has been rented to one
family by the state. The year-in, year.
cut average has shown that from three
to four pearls can be obtained from
every 100 mussels fished up, and that
one out of every IS pearls is of special
value.
About 500 pearls of value have been
taken from the Elster by the family in
question in the last decade, the sum-
mer of 1915 being the most productive,
with AZ good examples.
