THE abundance Of ready money, due
to the vast expenditures Of the gov

report adds, "and the people should
take warning that every eItrava-

so much the country's reserves that

TEXAS HIT BY
MELON CRAZE
Cocktails are a Thing Of the
Past in Dallas, and Every
bOdy'S Happy.

DALLAS, Tex, July 15.-Away with
he inspiring cocktail!
Watermelon cabaret's the thing in
Dallas While the big green melons
come rolling in by train and farm
wagon, the younger set and the older
set, too, participate in nightly reYels
and afternoon watermelon dansants
in the downtown district, For the
democracy Of watermelon be it said,
that the "parlors know no lines OF
casts"
The craze began with whoop with
the start OF the watermelon season
One astute concessionaire from an
amusement conceived the idea Of sell
Ing watermelons at ten cents slice
in surroundings similar to regular
cafes.
He bought barrels Of sawdust, dyed
it green and sprinkled it about his
floor to simulate grass. Then he in
stalled tinkly-um-tum piano with a
convenient slot for nickels, rolled in
stock Of melons and threw wide
the doors.
Dallas took the idea at once and it
has now spread to scores Of cities in
the southwest. Theatergoers, shop
pers and the well-known tired bust
ness man paused, with memory pa
rading before their eyes the vision of
watermelon days gone by and stopped
to patroniZe the place.
The stores success spurred other
business men to follow the pioneer
watermelon cafe owner, Other SINH
lar resorts sprang into being until
the streets today are conveniently
dotted with them.
All the old-time left hooks and also
right jabs are fair in consuming wa
termelon in public, The approved
rules, however, forbid graphing with
the fruit, contestants being expected
to preserve a neutral territory be-
tween themselves and the berry.
Undr no circumstances may male
entrant justapose his face and the
melon unless he can do so without
wetting his ears. Earlaps are barred
as an unfair handicap to the melon
