JUDGE WOULD Send z
Washers into Army
Magistrate Has Plan to Squelch
Street Corner Gladiators.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Detroit, July 15.-And now comes
Justice Christopher Stein with an an
nouncement OF the courts attitude on
the summertime masher.
"A masher," said the justice, "is
rot the rarest bird in the world,
neither is he entirely new to Detroit.
Il have an idea in mind that l
hope will serve as a warning to all
street corner gladiators.
THE work they would find with
Uncle Sans forces would soon take
this particular form of devilishness
! out of them.
''As a matter of fact, in the army
they wouldn't need to mash; every
girl likes a soldier after he's been
made a man, and so does every man.
but nobody likes q masher. Let a
bunch of stalwart soldiers get hold OF
a masher and they will soon make a
man of him.
And SO when the mashers are
brought here they will first receive a
! chance to enlist. This failing, they
will have to suffer the Judgment OF
the court.
And the penalty will be severe"

DRAFT Means HONOR,

Pastor, in Sermon. Declares Slack
ers Are Disgrace to Country.

TN the coming draft, the poor man
will have an equal chance with the
son Of the rich man. and the washer
woman's son will have as square q
deal as the son OF a Congressman"
was the statement made by Rev. DR..
D. H. Martin. in Wesley Chapel last
night, during the course OF his SER
mon on The Draft"
DR.. Martin continued:
mo army in the worlds history
was ever selected with as great care
for efficiency as our new army, which
is being put together. The idea is
that there Is some particular place
which every man can fill with the
greatest efficiency and it is the aim Of
the government to place the man
where he will be OF the greatest pos
sible serevice.
"A man who claims exemption from
draft" he said 'and cannot sustain
his claim, Is a disgrace to the coun-
try. A drafted man should feel hon
ored by being selected. Every young
man should sincerely hope that ne
will be called to serve his country.
He should consider 1t the disappoint-
n.ent of his life IL he cannot go.
"A man should covet the draft and
look upon the call as a sacred privl-
lege. II a man is drafted and there
are god reasons why he Is exempted.
he deserves the sympathy and not
the criticism OF the public.
'"The exemption board will attempt
to dischorge its duties in such a man
ner that censure or criticism will be
impossible. Politics. pull. influence.
part!ality and favoritism are words
that will not be found in the exemp-
ton boards dictionary. The board
will have a keen eye for the people
who may try to pull something off on
them. They will be on the lookout
for slackers and tricksters and for
the fellow who may try to overwork
the dependency clause"

These dealers are in n good way to

According to a Washington dealer.
whiskey which hitherto sold for 500

twice that much and many dealers
think that the high-water mark will
not be reached until they are getting
at least $500 a gallon for their stock
Gin has reached the stage where Il
is literally worth its weight in goIo
and almost impossible to set at any
price. Several cafes are experiencing
such hard time in getting gin that
the call for rickeys and fizzes. contin-
gent on the hot weather, finds them at
their wits end to obtain gin to re-
pienish their depleted stock. Nearly
all gin rickeys have advanced in price
at the majority of bars. The fact that
gin Is not stored but used Up as it is
made has caused the shpTtace
Gin that formerly sold at 81 a quart
is bringing $3.50 and IS, and hard to
get at these prices. All imported case
goods are sold at a premium and the
liquor dealer bids fair to retire from
the business well off, due to this pan
iCky state of affairs.
