London's "EarIy Closing"

I.ondon's new early shop-closing reg

ed shock. The smoker who finds him.
self Unexpectedly without cigars. the
candy eater overtaken with a late
craving for something sweet, and the
workman who wants to send out for a
sandwich, is surprised and angry when
he discovers that such indulgences are
barred.
After eight o'clock or all nights ex-
cept Saturdays it Is impossible to buy
anything, except meals and drink. The
cigar stores and the candy shops must
close, but restaurants may remain open.
and in London people may crowd up
to the bars and buy drinks until half
past nine. But the public houses can
not sell tobacco after eight. Nor can
restaurants purvey confectionery or
cigars to any but those consuming
meals on the premises. Discussion over
what constitutes a meal is waged in
And II one sandwich is not meal, how
many would constitute a meal? One
cigar may be bought with a meal and
lighted on the premises, and therefore
smokers may sometimes be driven to
buy meal for the sake of a cigar.
Hence the Importance Of this point.
They should also take up the ques-
ton of what constitutes drunk. If
one sandwich is not a meal and one
drink not drunk the matter should be
everlastingly settled by such wise
heads as close candy shops and cigar
stores and leave the booze holes open.

genuity will cook up a regulation" re-
quiring the buying-and the drinking
