Huly Gee, What They Haze Got to Sell Ain Very Good
and Any,oay, They Cost Too Much

Howard George. one Of the most exten-
sive dealers in fireworks in Frankford,
says the demand is slow. Fireworks,
like, firewater, are foolers. You are II
big show for while, but it takes more
than a big show to make folks happy
after the biggest show that was ever
staged-the one overseas.
So even Jim and Bill and Skinny are
n bit desultory about their pre- Fourth
celebrations, We're fed up even on
victory. We've heard so much about
world. made safe for democracy, it
seems that we are waiting to see it roll
around in our direction. so we can step
off and sec what it's like.
Linked with Prohibition
Also, there's direct connection be-
tween prohibition and fireworks. A
Germantown dealer says a man who has
been drinking will come in and buy SO
or S14 worth. just for the sake of more
excitement. A sober one thinks Of the
unpaid grocery bill.
1t is admitted that the supply from
the wholesalers is limited and the
Quatlty OF HOSt 'hineSe- Hdue prouucts
is inferior. because they put all their
best explosives into the kind of stuff
the generals like to play with. The

spirit of the age. is commanding just

"DIE YACHT"
AMERICAN MOVEMENT

Coblenz, June.-Since the Ameri-
can soldiers are conducting their
own watch on the Rhine, and since a
certain amount of talk in German is
necessary up with the Army of Oc-
cupation, "Die Wacht an Rhein" is
no longer contraband. In fact, Lieut..
Nathan Harris, of the First Division
as we'll as Newark, N. j., has put to-
gether a tuneful comedy under that
title.
The play started on the Y. M. c. A.
circuit of huts in the First Division
to fill up that constant demand for
more shows to amuse the sellers.
The show reveals, in the first set, a
small German village; second set,
German wirtschaft; third act, Ger
man dance hall. There's nothing
like local color in entertaining the
boys up here" figures Lieut.. Harris.
