DISTILLERS TURN
AGAINST SALOONS

NEW YORK, Sept. B.-Distillers are
wondering what they are going to
do with the huge stocks Of liquor
left on their hands when the nation
went into its prohibition period.
They believe, according to o. H.
Wathen, who is head Of Ksntueky's
largest whisISey manufacturing plant,
that whiskey will come back some
OF these days. but even they are firm
against allowing 1t to come back in
the old way.
I'VE don't want saloons" Wathen
said to-day. We would have liquor
take its place as a commodity 20 be
disposed of at the grocery or the
tience with the saloon. It got US
into all our trouble. A man used to
drop into q saloon. begin consuming
whiskey, and walk out a staggering
drunk. He went hOms and annoyed
his wife. the heighboFs saw him and
pitied him. The drys pointed TO him
as horrible example. and Whiskey
took all the blame We believe
whiskeY can be handled right in this
country. and we are Eoing TO make
hght to that end. Abolish the
saloon and let the householder buy
his whiskey and take IL home
That's what we want 70 happen, and
we want TO do away with the bad
whtskey that made physical wrecks
OF people. Good Whiskey won't hurt
any enc unless he makes q pig OF
himself"
Wathsn estimated that there Il
s1I.OoO,qOO in Whiskey tied up IN
Government warehouses. The Gov
eminent agents hold the key to this
stock. not the distilleFs great deal

tilisFs. They want a chance to get
rid Of Il. and are hoping that Con-
gress will in some way declare war
prohibition az an end and give them
a chance to sell off the aceumula-
tion.
'If Congress will allow US to start
in September to get rid OF our stoeks."
said WatheH. eve will come near dis
posing OF il by the time the national
prohibition law goes into effect. I
think we are entitled to some consid-

I'VE can't get insurance on stock

Anee companies fear destruction of
the liquor by some fanatic. so we are
racing more than merely a loss
through confiseation. II q fire were

holding the stocks"
Wathsn said that when the Govern
ment banned the use OF corn, barley
ana rye an the manufacture Of whis-
key, II was with the understanding
that wartime prohibition would be
lifted in time 20 allow the dealers 10
dispose OF their stocks. This prom

Biurstedt that was and Mrs Frank

what she has preached, namely, that
II is a mistake for women TO marry
men much younger than themselves
She herself is twenty-seven, and the
man to whom she has just been mar
fled Is forty-two.
Said the bride in an interview:
ExpIaIns Her Theory.
The trouble with women tennis
players is that il keeps them danger
ously young. Consequently they seek
the comnanionship Of the young,
which TO my mind. Is a dangerous
mistake. There is nothing more
pathetIc than to see a woman close
to the half-century mark in . senti-
mental Attachment with a man in his
twenties or thirties."
In this interview. she also said:
Love Is life to women. but there
are several kinds OF love. and each
has its proper time and place.
When i am forty I hope to have
other interests In life than playing
tennis and flirting"
Does the one inevitably lead 70
the otheF?" she was asked.
"In the country everything leads
to sentiment" was the reply. 1T
max be because there are so many
men. In England and in Norway
there arc more girls than men. In
consequence. girls learn from baby
hood to depend on themselves for
their amusements.
Keeps Minds Healthy.
"If men and marriage come their
way, well and good. If,not they hnd
interest in athletics and work. They
cheerfully makaf other women's chill
dren objects for their oWn maternal
love. They substitute friendship for
love and keep their bodies young
and their minds healthy by exercise
In the open, especially BY walking

WESTERvILLH. Ohio, July IL
Just how much of the United States
was affected by war prohibition and
how much will be affected by consti-
tutional prohibition?
A statement of the Anti-Saloon
League points out that before war
prohibition went into effect there was
only a little portion of the United
States wet.
For instance, thirty-three states
and the District of Columbia were
dry, either by popular vote or legis-
lation. They were dry as to light
wines and beers, just the same as to
spirituous liquors. War prohibition
did not affect them at all. neither
will constitutional prohibition affect
their status. 1t was illegal to ship
liquor into them from wet states.
Those thirty-three states represent
the largest area in the United States.
OF the fifteen wet states the largest
in area were New York. Pennsyiva-
