RUM CARS JAM
BALTIMORE Pike
Many Loaded on Saturday
Return to District on
Sabbath.

The re-Washington Boule-
ward was jammed yesterday and
Saturday with motor vehicles which
traversed it's forty miles each way
to bring back a load OF liquor for
personal" use.
Almost end to end, booze laden
cars coming back from Baltimore
and a string of "empties" going over
stretched the entire forty miles, each
driver wishing President Wilson
would withhold signing the bone
dry" law long enough for him to get
his load and return.
A large number of motorists who
invaded Baltimorc's wholesale places
on Saturday, came back Wash
ington yesterday, each car loaded to
capacity.
Loaded on Saturday.
Most of these cars were loaded
Saturday afternoon and stayed in
garages or tut in the street all night,
some because their drivers feared a
collision on the crowded boulevard
with disastrous results to the load
while others remained over with
friends in Baltimore.
Never in the history of the boule-
nrd has such a vast amount of
traffic glided over it as Saturday,
George washington's Birthday and
several days before that witnessed.
As it was, it is remarkable that no
one was reported killed or injured in
traffic accidents The boulevard has
been the scene of many a collision be-
tween drivers who couldn't wait I'M
til they reached Washington before
uncorking the bottle.
How the great number OF vehicles,
considering the load they carried
ever got from Baltimore to Washing
ton during the past week without nu-
merous smlsh-ups and even fatali'
ties. is something the company au'
thOrities can't figure.
Valued mt s2.OOO.OOO.
The value of the liquor brought to
this city by those who feared the
Presidents immediate signature tc
the revenue bill which carries a
"bone-dry" provision for the District
has been variously estimated at from
81, 10000 to 10000 The latter figure
is said 10 more rearly represent the
actual value. say Baltimore authori,
ties.
NV that nearly everybody who
wanted liquor has gone over and got
it. or had some one else to get it for
them. or else knows the whereabouts
of a "boOtleGger." the Anti-Saloon
League is about to make things shaky
for those who have stocked their
liquor in the cellar.
The league seems to think that a
gallon is sufficient for personal" use
for any one. If you have over a gall

Not only has Baltimore supplied a
great deal of liquor to Washington,
but Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New
York. Trenton, Wilmington. Jersey

within twelve hours run from Wash

weeks shipping liquor to thirsty

LITTLE TALKS BY
BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Do American girls make good
wives?
Naturally, the answer comes in n
chorus of Affirmative.
But isn't it worth while to stop
and think what We mean by a good
wife," Different points of view pre-
vail in regard to this really very
serious question. And one of these
points of view is forcibly expressed
by young man who has just writ
ten me letter of protest. Let me
quote it.
Il am young and a foreigner" he
tells me. And 1 often notice that
in the evening paper a young lady
asks you for advice about marry
ing some foreign young man.
Miss Fairfax. for humanity's
sake l wish you would try to show
the American young ladies that 1t
is very foolish to marry a foreigner.
The foreign young man is used to
see his own sister at home learning
how to take care of mems clothes
Chat is, repair them and sew on
buttons), and also learning to cook.
Therefore when a foreign young
man asks an American girl to marry
him he thinks she will be able to
make n comfortable home. But
after three weeks of married life he
discovers that she knows absolutely
nothing, and their married life be-
comes a nightmare for both, as
have often seen.
Now, please do not think that
am by any means trying to belittle
American girls. but 1 wish to bring
this to their very hearts. While I
am a foreigner, my blood is for
meTlCa- and iC my HI -
Now this young man who is so
shocked and indignant at the but
tonlessness of. the young American
wires work basket. and who traces
10 this such tragic consequences,
has some facts on his side.
1t is, of course, quite true that
the European girl is trained to be
a good wife" in a sense that no
American girl is. No housewifely
art is omitted from her education.
A thorough knowledge of cooking
is acquired as a matter of course.
And at the same time that she
learns plain sewing. darning and
embroidery. the complete science
of sewing on buttons is taught her
with the utmost care. The claim
that this young foreigner makes
for European girls is perfectly
well founded.
E vt we shouldn't of course agree
with him that American girls in
general are ignorant of these things.
Most American girls are taught how
to cook and SEWN school. if not
at home. They are given domestic
science courses which means that
they are taught the reasons that lie
behind household management
They are taught the chemistry of
cooking and the science of SANTA
ton. that is to say, of healthful
cleanliness. They are equipped
with foundation principles and if
they are intelligent enough to ap-
ply them, they emerge from their
schooling better housekeepers. I
should say, than their grandmothers
were.

day seems to me reasonably we'll

ment of a household. And I
