POLICE ROUND UP
MAKERS OF NOISE

The police are on the alert in
rounding up the creators OF unseemly
and unnecessary noise. These noise
makers embrace drivers OF wagons,
and automobile operators. The latter
according to reports received by the
police are making themselves particu-
larly obnoxious to the citizens who
desire rest and quiet in the hours OF
the night. Open mufflers. shrieking
horns and rafting machines are be-
ing complained of from every section.
The auto owner who makes the
street in front of his residence the
parking place for his automobile. is
also, subject to sensure when he
starts to tinker with the car, creating
all sorts of unearthly noises.
A movement is on foot to secure
through council an ordinance pro-
hibiting any man using the streets as
a garage. 1t is argued that any man
owning an automobile should also
own a garage or at least be able to
rent space in one.
The activity of the police in this
particular is being highly commended
by citizens generally.

N. Y. CABARETS, TOO,
RECEIVE SOLAR PlExUS
broadway Restaurant Rcvucs Arc
Passing Since Booze Took the
Count.

New York. July ls,-Its thumbs
down for the Broadway restaura mt
cabarets since John Barleycorn died
protesting and painful death on
July l.
However. good or had-and some
were very good. indeed--the cabaret
is swiftly passing, and a small army
OF highly paid entertainers must look
for jobs at smaller salaries or engage
in some other line OF work
The majority of the most popular
cabarcts were In the Glittering lobster
palaces where food and wines and
liquors were sold at top notch prices.
People were willing to pay the prices
and thought they got their moneys
worth. Managers paid the cabaret
performers from $50 to 500 a week.
while stars commanded many times
those sums. Tables were always full;
money flowed in: everything was
lovely. and the goose was hanging
high, when congress hit John Barley
corn with a slungshot. The cabaret
was doomed from that moment.
There was no difference of opinion
among members OF the Society of
Restaurateurs regarding the impossi-
billy of running an expensive cabaret
or revue upon the profits from the
sale of food alone. Shows costing
thousands OF dollars weekly must be
paid for from the drinks sold. That
was agreed
Some believed that the public had
such fondness for cabarets that II
would continue to meet their cost to
tho various arrangements by buying
with their meals such exhilirating
drinks as lemonade, ginger ale, sasa-
parilla. etc. at fiftey cents a glass.
These for time. continued their cab
arets. and some are still continuing
the experiment. But they are learn
ing that New Workers do not care for
lemonade at four bits throw.
The Pekin restaurant. which had
one OF the most popular and expensive
cabarets in town. was the first to ad-
init knockout through the death of
John Barleycorn. 1t took the count
July 2, after experimenting only one
day under prohibition conditions.
We cannot give our diners high
class cabaret revue costing $4,000 a
week, since the profit from the sale OF
wine and liquors has been taken
away" said Louis Candone. manager
of the Palais Royal. explaining why
its popular show had to be abandoned.
1T would be like throwing the money
out of the window. 1t would be utter
foolishness to continue the Revue
without supporting It with the sale OF
hard drinks. Some OF the restaurteurs
believe they can do II. but I don't see
how II can be Inquired"

Shuttle train service between Fall

in connection with trains 80, 33, and
43 OF the Atlantic Coast Line railroad,
will be discontinued after the final
run today on account of light travel.
1t was announced yesterday. Dis
of the service in the Of
fetal notice by L. C. White, general
passenger agent OF the Coast Line,
is given as of A. M. Sunday morn
ing.
The service was established sew
eral months ago when the new Broad
Street station was opened. after COM
muters from Petersburg and Chester
field county, who had offices or places
of business in the downtown section,
complained OF the long time it took
travelling on the Belt Line around the
city and into the new station. They
desired TO detrain at Byrd Street sta :
ton, and the Shuttle train was placed
in operation as an experiment for
their convenience.
