HUNGARIAN FOOD DIRECTOR
SPENDS WEEK WITHOUT BREAD

BUDAPEST, March 20.-The Hun
garian Food Director, Baron Kuerthy,
has just had the unpleasant experience
of spending a week without bread.
The Baron lives at the Hotel Bris-
toll. A few days ago he had dinner
with some friends, and ordered his US
ual portion. When the waiter asked
him for bread ticket, Baron Kuerthy
searched his pockets in vain. He had
evidently lost his little book of cou-
pens. One of his companions offered
him his, but as it is distinctly stated IN
each book that the tickets are not
transferable, the waiter refused to &C
cept it, and the Baron himself was too
conscientious to adopt any such means.
At last he decided to do without bread
until the following week.

DEFEAT OF john BiELEYC0RN
MARRIED BY GREAT REJOICING

ATLANTA, Ga, March 20-Old John
Barleycorn's ultimate and crushing de-
feat was celebrated with unbounded
enthusiasm in Atlanta last night by an
audience of prohibition advocates that
packed the auditorium.
Governor Nat Z. Harris, who called
the extra session of the legislature
converting today to pass bone dry laws,
and who wrote the bill that will prOo-
ably be passed. called the meeting to
order William ]. Harris, chairman OF
the federal trade commission and a cit
izen Of Georgia and former state sena-
tor, presided as chairman. Mayor Asa
G. Gambler, who IS a believer in pro-
hibition and a crusader for civic right
eousness, welcomed the visitors from
out of town.
Besides these notables, there were
speeches by Mrs. W. H. FELTON,, the IA
nous writer and temperance advocate;
Mayor W. J. Pierpont, of Savannah,
who closed the saloons in that city;
and United States Senator Thomas W.

tional prohibition, but strongly advo-
Gated the Reed amendment prohibiting
the shipment Of liquor into dry states.
There was no profanity by any
speaker, but old John Barleycorn was
as thoroughly Denounced as any I'M
happy mass meeting victim on record,
and it WAS freely predicted not only
that Georgia L as seen the last of IL
quor, but also that the United States
would be a bone dry nation in the very
near future.
