BY FRAZIER HUNT.
CHAPTER is.

A good many young soldiers spend about
half their time girling, which is only
way Of saying that they worry about their
girls Right in my own company we got
a dozen great big two-fisted doughboys
who has been made high-grade fool out
of by some dame back home when they
should have kept the edge all the time and
let the weaker sext do the worrying.
or course, this war book is not going to
be any correspondents school for soldiers
on the art of making love, but there is a
few little things that all soldiers should
ought to know before going into the serv
ice. And one of them Is that girls Is easy
picking for the man in Q. d., and the SOL
der who overlooks this fact and lets some
dame make sucker out of him is a dis
grace to the Army and should ought to be
put out
In the first place every solder should
ought to have two girls at the least. And
always make a point Of telling the one
girl always about the other, and it GER
tainly would surprise any one the way they
fall for that stuff
Don't, naturally come right out and say
to one girl that you got this other girl,
but let her know in a way that will Just
about knock her off the Christmas tree.
Write her Alrinsance that YOU can't see her
your next pass because You got a previous
engagement in another town that you
couldn't break for anything in the world
A little gentle hint like that will do a lot

TO TAKE TRANSPORTATION
IN SHIPYARD SECTIONS
Congress Warned Not to Make Leg
islation Hampering q. s. Mer-
chant Marine After War.

Authority was voted to the President
to take over transportation facilities
near shipyards where such action is
necessary for the transportation of
shipyard workers when the House
passed a Senate bill.
Warning to Congress not to pass leg
islation which would hamper a United
States merchant marine after the war
was given yesterday by President P. A.
S. Franklin, chairman of the shipping
boards ship control committee, testify
ing before the House merchant marine
committee.
I'VE are building up merchant ma
rine which. If properly handled. will be
a credit to the nation" Mr.. Franklin
said, but Congress should not handi-
cap it with legislation that would put
1t to a disadvantage with the shipping
of other nations after the war"
The committee is considering a bill
giving the President power to purchase
or requisition docks, wharves and load
ing and discharging facilities. and to
prescribe tonnage charter rates, and
another measure authorizing the ship
ping board to control the transfer Of
titles to ships to citizens OF a foreign
nation.
Mr.. Franklin agreed to give his
views on the proposed legislation next
week.

'HARD BLOW FOR LIQUOR
IN new YORK ELECTIONS
Twenty Of Thirty-Nine Cities Go
Dry-Women Of State Vote !.
for First Time.

ALBANY. N. z. April 18.-The liquor
traffic received hard blow in New
York state with the announcement last
night that more than a majority of the
thirty-nine cities holding local option
elections had declared not only against
the saloon. but also against the sale
of liquor under any conditions.
Recapitulation however, showed that.
although prohibition forces won out in
bare majority of the thirty-ni cities
voting. the vets carried the larger mu-
nicipalities and retained more than 1.400
of the 2.132 licenses or nearly 20 per cent
o. the total involved.
or the three second-class cities in
which the elections were held Bing-
hamton voted dry. while Syracuse and
Schenectady remained in the wet col
umn.
How Cities in New York Voted.
Twenty cities which voted dry were:
Auburn. Batavia, Binghamton. Can
andaigua, Corning. Cortland, Elmira,
Fulton, Gloversville. Hornell. Ithaca,
Jamestown. Johnstown, Middletown,
Norwich. Oneonta. Oneida. Plattsburg.
Salamanca and Watertown.
Nineteen which voted to license the
sale of liquor were:
Amsterdam. Beacon. Glens Falls.
Kingston. Mount Vernon. New Ro-
chelle. Newbursh, Little Falls, Lock-
port Ogdensburg. Olean, Oswego, Port
Jervis, Rome, Syracuse. Schenectady
North Tonowanda, Geneva and Tona-
wanda
OF the three second-class cities voting
on the liquor question. Schnectady, the
only one with complete count. re-
tanned the saloon by {. majority of 2,202
in a total vote of 24,932.
Syracuse, the largest Of tho cities vot-
ing on the liquor question. was carried
by the vets by approximately 10000.
First Time Women Ever Voted.
The balloting, which lasted two days.
was tho largest ever cast in any OF the
municipalities, due chiefly to the fact
that 1t was the first election in which
the recently enfranchised women of the
state had been given an opportunity to
exercise the suffrage and the first time
any voters in the cities had had a
chance to express their views on the
liquor question.
An analysis Of the figures at hand
shows that the vote averaged 10 per
cent greater than the total vote for all
candidates for governor in the election
of 1916.
Virtually all of the cities declaring
against the saloon also voted against
the sale of bottle liquors. pharmacists
licenses and the dispensing of intoxi-
cants by hotels.
In cities voting dry the sale OF liquor
must cease October / next.
