Between Judge Mullowny and De-
tective scrivener, Of the Seventh pre-
cinct, the bootIeggers are having a
great time.
In the first place Georgetown is the
last place on earth for oootIegger
to start selling Baltimore booze.
, And Judge Mullowny is the last
man before whom any sensible boot
logger would want to come.
John Green and James E. Hall know
these facts now. better than anyone
else because
Detective scrivener arrested them
for selling liquor to soldiers and also
for violating the Sheppard act.
The majority Of bootleggers seem
to be unaware of the fact that when
they sell booze to soldiers they must
face the music twice in the same
place.
While the American boys in France
are Just getting into the thick of the
mess, these two men were trying to
make the balance of the army over
mere get drunk.
We cannot afford to have our army

lust one way to stop it and that is
to soak the offenders.
The court did that very thing
Green and Hall were fined each $500
and must serve sixty days in Jail.
You Can't Blame the Cops.
Must we washingtonians keep get
ting peeved when the officers of the
law arrest US for getting soused?
We can't blame the cops-they have
to do something to earn their enor-
nous pay. otherwise they would get
rusty.
However, there are some OF US who
will never learn anything.
One of US Is Jake Long Where he
works, who he works and how much
he gets has nothing to do with it.
Sunday afternoon Jake was ar
rested. Policeman Dulin had him by
the arm.
Dulin was urging him to come along
in a nice way and be of as little
trouble as possible.
Also Jake, being a free American
citizen, resented this sudden shut-on
fhis liberty and pursuit of happi-
ness.
The constitution says that we must
not undergo cruel or unusual punish
ment.
Which to Jakie's mind meant that a
man could get picked as often as he
liked, as much as he liked and when
he liked and no dingbusted cop had a
right to interfere.
And SO jake attempted to thrash
Dulin-which stunt, when we spell
Dulin's name-can easily be said to
be foolish.
Twenty-Five dollars fine and six
months for Jake.

"Jedge. All doan allow no woman
to bull me-" spoke up Matt Palmer.
''Ah'se a gemman en- All cain't stan
it"
How could this woman bull you
when she was sick in bed?" the court
asked Matt.
"Jedge. answered Matt, looking
curiously at the court. DE fact dat
woman am sick doan stop her fun
talking. All does belieb dat ef it
walnut 70 scarin' folks-some Of desc
women would ackcherely talk in dere
collins"
What a knock for the women, We
Adu lOch lHdI were InaL 0d0.
Susie Martin and Matt roomed in
the same house. Seems that they
keep company.
All last week Susie was sick. She
had the grippe.
Matt owed her some money. And
she needed it to pay the doctor.
Saturday afternoon she asked him
for it. He beat around the bush for
a minute and then told her outright
that he wouldn't pay II.
She threatened to get a lawyer and
make him pay.
Matt pushed her face in while she
lay sick in bed.
And for doing this German trick
the court fined him $40.
BE Careful, Girls.
