SHAW OBSERVES
 ANNIVERSARY OF
 HIS BIRTH TODAY

George Bernard Shaw is e3 years old today-born on July 26, 1856. Shaw is habitually on the reverse Yes" he will say No" Mr. shaw some years ago told a very interest ing story concerning his childhood. It was during a big meeting of Pro testant Home Rulers in London. Dur ing his address Shaw argued for the cessat tion of petty religious strife in Irealnd, that social reforms on the Emerald Isle could proceed.
 My father" he said, was an Irishman. My mother was an Irish woman. Both were Protestants, the intensity of whose faith would have been described by a large number of their fellow countrynen as sangui- nary Protestantis.
 A large part of a mothers duties to me were discharged by an Irish nurse. That nurse was Roman Catholic, and she never put me to bed without sprinkling me holy water.
 Referring to the laughter which greeted his remarks, MT. Shaw add cd, "I can not imagin anything that is less worthy of laughter, or more touching, than this picture of an Irish Catholic woman sprtnkHng Holy Water-and you know what Holy Water was to heron a little Protest ant child whose parents grossly underpaid her. That's Bernard Shaw through and through-he is, without doubt, the most nimble wit ted man in the world.

man marru,. dad drank more wine than was good for her, but he merely con- demned her to lose Der dowry.
 It is evident that fuS a good many centuries there was litti. real abuse of alcohol in ancient Rome. But when the tide turned, 1t turned with over whelming speed and force. Drunken ness and it's attendant evils became so common that they almost ceased to at tract attention. For many generations wine had been scarce, but by the first century B. c. it flowed almost as free ly as water. One wealthy citizen left 10000 casks of it to his heir, each cask containing 30 gallons. It's use led to extravaganza 30 unbounded that Ap- icius. who has spent s3,6o0,oo0 in in- venting rare and costly dishes, com mitted suicide when he balanced his accounts and found he hac but s360,- 000 left. He could not see how it was possible to live on such a pittance, al- though $360,000 then represented very much more than it did even before the war smashed all earlier records in boosting the high cost of living.

AFTER g DAYS TROLLEY PROBE
 IS ADJOURNED

Washington, July 26.-Representa- lives of electric railway interests to- day completed their testimony before the federal electric railway commits sion, after nine nine days during which virtually every phase of the situation from a company viewpoint has been developed. Tonight the com- mission will adjourn to Aug. 4, when |" will hear the testimony of Secre- tary Baker and others. A short re- cess then will be taken to August II, when the testimony of Mayors and other municipal officers of leading cities will be heard.
 Featuring the final days testimony was a concrete plan of relief offer ed by Harlow c. Clark, editor of a street railway mems magazine who has made an intensive study of the financial situation facing the coun- try's traction systems and who has aided in the presentation of testi- mony before the commission. 1n- cluded in MT. Clark's recommends tons were these suggestions:
 Immediate temporary relief by in creased fares, subject to revision later.
 Adoption of a plan for the per- manent conduct of the street railway business, under state or municipal regulation. This plan to include ma chinery for determining a just return, based on the interests of both in- vestor and public; establishment of system of charges for service by which rates would automatically in crease and decrease to meet new ex- igencies; operators to be permitted to share in the earnings to Insure economy, efficiency and initiative; extensions, improvements and other betterments to be regulated by state or municipal body; inauguration of the indebterminate franchise prin- ciple; establishment of the right of governmental agencies to purchase the utility should 1t desire and relief of companies from special charges and assessment such as paving costs and no forth.

Under the name of Bacehus the
 Woient Romans worshfped the god of wine very much as the Greeks had previously done. At first, just as in Greece the festivals were primitive. Joyous gatherings, almost unmarred by aissipattons. Slowly at first but swift ty as Rome gained in power, these fes- hvals. or Bscchanalia, degenerated in- to wild and unrestrained orgies.
 W6en they were first celebrated, only women were admitted. The fes- tfvals were held in a grove at Rome, lasted for three days, and were cele- breted only once @ year. Later men were admitted and the merrynaakers became so enamored with the deprav- lty and debauchery that characterized the gatherings that they were not con tent with less than i've festivals or more than one for each " eek of the year. The evil became so great the senate was at last compelled to decree that no more Bacchanalta were to be permitted anywhere in Italy.

The Romans got their liking for al cohol from the Greeks, but they were soon much more fastidious about their wines than the Greeks ever were. Age or bouquet in wines never seem to have had much Of an appeal to the Greeks. Wines from some localities wcre somewhat renowned, but as a general thing the wealthy Greek did not care where his wine came from nor what 1t tasted like. About all that he desired was an assurance that there was enough.
 The Romans, however. very quickly became adopts in distinguishing be- tween various kinds of wine. They demanded age in their wines and were willing to pay high prices for products of favored places.
 Wine was apparently known in Italy before Rome was founded, as there is mention of King of Etruria, who lived ct about the same time as the siege of Troy, who demanded as his price for aiding one tribe against an other all the wine that there was in Lattum. In the very earliest period of

Rome there Is evidence that the people had had already recognized that alco- hol might be an evil, for women were forbidden to drink 1t. While Romulus was King. 1t is related that a husband was brought before him charged with the murder of his wife. The accused set forth as his defense that his wife had been drinking wine, and this was apparently regarded as sufficient pruvocatton, es he was acquitted.
 Many generations later the same law was in effect. But the women of Rome had managed to acquire taste for what was forbidden. and Cato re- letes that Roman citizens of his day kissed their wives and their women relatives not So much from affection but to detect whether they had been drinking wine in secret.
 A compiler Of annals in the third century B. c. says that one Roman lady was deliberately starved to death by her family because she opened a purse to get the keys to the wine eel far. More lenience was shown by judge who decreed that another Ro-
