PLEASANT THINKING.
BY thinking pleasant thoughts today
I'll strsw with flowers all my way,

And maybe ease some passing sorrow
That may await me on the morrow
By giving me the smiling start
That comes from cheeriness Of heart

Washington, Oct. 31.-Washington
went dry Wednesday night after a
"big day." on which. as was expected,
the full energy of the police was
taxed in caring for several hundred
good fellows, who took just one more
big drunk before the lid went down.
But there is. still mooted question
as to whether Intoxicating liquor may
be shipped in the District of Column

will be submitted tc the courts.
October 81. the day the lid down
here, is Halloween. which gave the
merrymakers an AIDED incentive to

The police departmen. prepared to
haze every member or the force on
duty Wednesday, night. when many
rough house parties were expected,
and when many Of the "bcys" fell by
the waysitle on their Way home.
The police court contemplated hold
ing night session Wednesday to
accommodate those who took too lead
ing part IN the last rites for Old
John BarIeyccrn and feii into the
clutches of the police. Il had been
found that the Sheppard law, which
supersedes the Woiks n henyon law,
under which saloons were permitted
to operate, carries nc penalty for
drunkenness alld tina; II the "drunks"
were not tried before midnight of

were shipping Christmas liquor to
Virginia. North Carolina and other
southern states, who have in recent
years got their supply from Wash

creasing the use of fish as food
and the conservation of the industry.

received the following telegram from
the food administration which opened
the proposition of abolishing the close
season on certain salt water fish:
