watch back the required hour when
he noticed that it was already in

He rushed to the telephone, called
the Western Union to get the exact
time. and found that his watch was

Vt lost time before, he says. But on
the night when il should have been

saw something tall and spry-appear-

sudden lurches of the car, for the
motorman was drunk again, Bob
says, caused said beautiful neaidens
to shimmi forward. They stepped

Bob finally came to.
"I'm gettin' off. That's all" he
remarked.

One jug to Family,
Five Gallons to Jug!
It Couldn't Be True

One jug to each family.
And in each jugt Ave gallons Of
bonded whisky. i
The program for distribution of
100000 gallons Of fine, bourbon
and rye WHISTLES includes that. And
the program is to be proposed in
congress by the holders of the
liquor:
T. M. Gilmore, president of the
National Model License league,
states that a bill will soon be pro-
posed in congress under which
these whistles could be freed from
tax, the distiller's bonds cancelled,
and the holders permitted to remove
them into FIVE gallon jugs to be
given to the people for medicinal
purposes.
1.-THE idea is to give one jug to
each family in Me country not al
ready supplied with liquors for the
future" says Mr.. Gilmore. "And
then the government would be ask
ed to make the distribution through;
the Postofice department"
"Distillers believe that whisky is
infuenza's greatest foe, and if con-
gressmen can be convinced that
their constituents want the whiskey,
there is little doubt that the bill
would be passed"
The fact that the lifting of the
wartime prohibition ban seems so
remote, is given as the cause for the
suggestion.
