Saloon Won't Die
With old John b.

New York, June 23-Prohibition or
no prohibition, the little old brass rail
the mahogany bar, and the foaming
beer spigot is going to stick. Firmly
convinced Of the beneficial psychol-
ogy of the brassy rail, the Salvation
Army has so decreed.
The waterfront" salon Is too val
liable a socializing and democratizing
asset to be allowed to perish with
John Barleycorn, slum workers be-
lieve. The atmosphere Of the saloon
deodorized of all ITS stencil alone will
Justify the continued existence OF the
saloon, they say.
"You can't take something away
from man without giving him some
thing in return" Brigadier James
Welte, purchasing agent TO rthe Sal
walton Army during the war; said to-
day. deprive the 'floaters' and sa
loon freouenters of place Of congre
cation and something equally as un
desirable as the saloon will take It's
place.
"The Salvation Army does not in
tend to eliminate the saloon. 1t aims
TO reform it--make it power tol
decency and cleanliness rather thai
a demoraIizlng Influence in the com
munity"
Already Salvation Ormy officials Il
New York have secured options OF
saloon locations in preparation for tn
day when prohibition goes into e
feet. But not for a single day viii
these places close their doors Tn
same old mahogany bar, the sam
brass rail and the same bartenders-
in many instances-will remain. Onl
the kick" in the drinks will disap
pear.
New York's pioneer soft drink
bar, located in the heart of Broat
ways Tenderloin just off Broadwa
near Forty-seventh street, where tn
hearts are supposed to be light an
lights are bright and champaign
flows like water, has proved thu
theory of its founders. Two month
ago Tango Lizards, Folly girls
"pugs," and broadway habitue
draped themselves across the hard
wood bar of the Victoria hotel. From
noon til early morn the place wa
crowded.
Today the place still is crowded
but the men who lounge with hob
nailed boot upon the rail are bronzet
weather beaten veterans of the A. .
r., or Uncle Sans navy. And thu
women, not the delicatey tinted

hand-painted Folly favorites, but the
cleareyed Salvation Army lassies, war
workers and returned nurses And
for grape fizz' had called for a
before the war many that now call
gin rickey or a Scotch straight.
"Its the psychology of the brass
rail" quoth Tony, the bartender, who
for a decade has mixed refreshing
rotations here. Put glass in q
mans hand and he instinctiyely fishes
around with his foot for the rail.
Makes no difference whether he is
drinking Scotch or soda; with his
hoof comfortably fixed he will talk
as long as anyone listens to him
lust like in the olden days. Gradual
ly he eases himself down until his
chin gets in his hand and his elbow
on the table or bar-and he's an
chored until closing time"
In the river-front saloon, where the
Bowery bum formerly got a glass OF
beer and sandwich for nickel, the
Salvation Army intends to have the
same old bartender with his CHEEKY
"Howdy, Mike! Hello Bill" on the
Job That is, if he wants to stay
and many have said they would. But
light drinks and doughnuts will re-
place the hard drinks. The stove and
smoke and atmosphere will still b
There" Welte declared.
"And we dop't intend to feed hin
Ireligion, either. Saloons and religion
don't synchronize. If we can maintain
the saloon as a place where a maj
can drop in, get bite to eat ant
warm himself and incidentally elimi
nate all the demoralizing influence
that surrounded the old rum house
we believe it will be worth while,
Welte added.
Salvation Army lassies-veteran
also of the A. e. F., will capitaliz
their immense popularity among tn
returning doughboys to assist max

Money Wasted by
British War Lords
By United Press.

BY United Press.
London.-By mail) = Taxpayers
here are gnashing their teeth at the
way their good money has been
wasted
The comptroller and auditor gen
eral of government expenditure has
just published his report on the ac-
counts of the ministry of munitions
for the past year. His accounts
show:
That a factory which cost $9,5OO,-
600 to erect produced only $4,000
worth of material.
Another factory which was built
at cost of $S35,OOO was closed and
used as a store eight months after
It was built.
One of the staff was engaged at
a salary of $4,000 year and got
$4,000 for four months parttime ser
vice.
An escape of poison gas cost the
taxpayer 81 $50, 600, owing to the fact
that one set of wiseacres started to
make the gas before another set
had approved of it. The difference
OF opinion merely landed the tax
payer into loss
Thousands of dollars were spent
in the erection of camps which were
never used.
In some instances contractors were
paid compensation by way Of apollo
gy for the fact that the ministry, al
ter placing the contract, changed it
mind.

GUT THIS OUT AND TAKE 1T

A man often forgets the exact
name of the article he wishes to pur-
chase, and as a last resort takes
something else instead. That is al
ways disappointing and unsatisfacto
ry. The safe way is to cut this out
and take it with you so as to make
sure of getting Chamberlain's Tab
let's. You will find nothing quite SO
satisfactory for constipation and in
digestion. 6-2-30G
