PASTOR FINDS BOOZE
STILL FLOWS FREELY
Harder Than Euer to Get
Soft Drinks, He Says.

tThe Rev. Dr. .Iames>Emprngham ma
tional superintendent of the Episcopal
Church Temperance Society, has been
conducting an investigation of New
York's saloons to see IL they sell tho
real stuff, and. according TO his press
agent, has been going about the last
week camoufiaged in "civvies' and with
a pink necktie. He is suoted thus:
People are saying that prohibition
has made no difference in the liquor
business. That is false. In the first
place. prohibition. in my experience. has
made II much more difficult to buy soft
drinks over the bar. Before July ] /
never experienced difficulty in getting 4
non-alcoholic beverage in any saloon ex-
cept, perhaps, in some of the dry States.
If l called for ginger ale or birch beer
the barkeeper got me the first time.
Since July 1 all has been changed.
"Under the protection of the pink tie
salnter through the double swinging
doors on Sixth avenue or Hester stree.
and ask for a glass of ginger ale as 4
preliminary to mixing in with the boys,
but now l no longer get the innocuous
beverage for which / call. The white
aproned artist now invariably construes
my innocent request as hint for some
thing more potent"
The clergyman has found. he says
that conversation around the saloons
nowadays. instead of being about bali
games and racing is about the churches
which, have helped make the cost OF
whiskey so high. And what the saloon
frequer ters think. he says, is rough on
clersyman's ears.

FORCES SPEEDER TO
GIVE UP LICENSE
Magistrate Mcclellan Also
Imposes SIPS Fines.

Magistrate Mcclellan sitting yester-
day in West Farms court. found himself
without specific instructions in applying
statutory law to the case of a speeding
motorist, and resorted to the expedient
of requesting the defendant to surrender
his driving license voluntarily. After the
defendant had done this the Magistrate
tackled on fines totalling $125.
The case was that of Frank Mallet
20, of 2544 st. Raymond's avenue, The
Bronx. whose father ic personal friend
of the Magistrate.
81 do not know of anybody in New
York city who has such a record as
yours" said the Magistrate. 'I have
looked It up, and find you are here as a
fourth offender. The trainers of the law
did not contemplate that any one would
violate it as you have done. There is
a penalty OF fine or imprisonment. or
both. for third offenders. who have COM
mitted their violations within one year.
but no special provision as to those WHO
have committed four offences.
81 find myself in an embarrassing po-
sition, knowing your father and family
as I do, but / will nevertheless see TO
1t that you never drive again.
The Magistrate then said he would
recommend the cancellation of Malletts
license, stating that the best the defend
ant could do under the circumstances
would be to surrender the License at
once. This Mallett hastily agreed to do.
The Magistrate then called John Ham
mil, a probation officer. who reported
that AIallett's record was clear except
for automobile law violations. The court
imposed fine of 800 for speeding and
$25 for reckless driving. suspending sem
tence on charges of falling TO stop on
signal and driving without headlights.

BE CAREFUL OF LOVE LETTERS.
Don't Chuck Them About Care
IessIy, Especially I'm 42d street.

People will scrap their old love letters
and chuck the pieces carelessly away in
Forty-second street. This selfish prac-
tice is considered by the Forty second
Street Property Owners and Merchants
Association to be one reason why the
promenade of the Forty-second Street
Country Club hasn't been so we'll kept
as II should have been. An earnest ap-
peal was made by the association yester-
day to persons who have the habit of
reading love letters as they saunter
along Forty second street not to tear up
the letters in that particular street. Per-
sons who ride bicycles are also asked to
find another thoroughfare, as the custom
of bicycle riding is not considered up to
what is due the great cross street
These special appeals are incidental to
a campaign to make Forty second street
the cleanest street in the world, ard
other requests are made to banana peel
chuckers to mend their ways, to citizens
to obey the traffic cops, to avoid loiter-
ing and to abstain from motor car speed
ing.
The heart OF New York is Forty-sec
ond street, the association reminds the
citiZenry-don't sadden 1t by selfish, stu
pid practices.

Preventable Accidents.

A campaign to eliminate unsafe prac-

The first six months OF 1919 produced

A Massed Attack.

A ferocious attack upon a little red
squirrel by robins, sparrows and other
birds in massed formation caused
some commotion on the court house
grounds on Monday. The attacking
party, consisting of so or more birds,
chased the squirrel up and down trees,
struck at it from all directions and
pulled beakfuls of fur from it's body
and tail. But after lodging about for
half an hour or more the squirrel
eluded it's pursuers by resorting to the
art of camoufage-it found tree the
bark of which resembled it's own color
and flattened itself thereon, remain
ing motionless. The birds, unable to
discover it, flew away in various direc-
lions, screaming as they scattered.
1t is more than likely that the squir-
rel was discovered near the nest of
one Of the birds, which sent out the
S. O. S. signal and brought aid from
all points Of the compass. That squir-
rel certainly had narrow escape
from being torn to shreds and, even
though it eluded it's pursuers, it was
a sorry looking little creature with
patches of fur ripped from it's coat
and almost scared to death.

NOTES..

Manager Hofflander imported a
hurler from Minneapolis to use against
the Foley tribe and the big fellow sure
earned his money. Glass is his name,
but he had little of that material in
his arm as his pitching record shows.
He struck out thirteen of the opposing
batsmen, only allowed one pass, and
the abest the Foley sluggers could do
with his delivery was three hits, only
one of these being of the smashing
variety, and the other two being of the
scratch species. He appeared to have
a world of speed and a good collection
of curves. He is a Woodworking, con-
scientious player and certainly won a
home with the Princeton fans. We
would like to see the big fellow be-
come a permanent fixture of the
Princeton team this season.
The Princeton infeld played a classy
article of ball after they once hit their
stride. Glass was using his knuckle
ball whole lot and this meant there
were going. to be many infield chances.
They pulled off two fast plays that
