is made from kind of sorghum,
which, after being ground, is mixed

In 4byssis,ia

The most popular drink in Abys-
sinia is "tedj" This alcoholic
CREASED lightning is so rapid in its
effect that it is said that mere
smell Of it makes one drowsy, while
very small drink is sufficient to
pat the occasional tipplor into
drcamland. Seasoned drinkers can
seldom stand more than two tiny
portions before they too succumb to
its influence. This drink is easily
made by adding one gallon of water
to ten gallons of honey and then
allowing it to forment. While fer
menting, leaves Of the geshu plant
are added, and quite soon the MKT
ure is ready to drink Another
fiery Abyssinian liquor is called
"bouza" and is made in the home
but it is not nearly so quick acting
as "tedj,' while it is really mild I'M
! less much geshu is used during fer
mentation.
Zanzibar furnishes one Of the
most deadly strong liquors that man
can drink and still survive the or
deal. Its strength is SO great that
the natives who use it must accus-
tom themselves to it by first start
ing with a sip, gradually increas-
ing the portion as they become
more hardened. 1t is said that il a
stranger to its great Intoxicating
power partakes Of it in even the
same measure as absinthe he IS
lucky to escape death. To imagine
that this drink could be made in any
home of the United States, if the
members were so inclined, ought u
make the prohibitionigts stop and
think This abnormally strong
liquor is called ceramic"

to be cross between our wine and
whiskey. The natives keep large
supplies Of this liquor or hand for
their ceremonies and war celcbra-

though many Of the men partake OF

much widespread comment
& and protest in the United
States, but should bone
drvness be decreed suddenly in Cen
tral America it would not cause a
new revolution in opposition to the
measure. The inhabitants Of this
trlal-swept section of country arc
too well stocked" to give such legis-
lation more than passing notice.
They are not necessarily stocked
with an actual accumulation of
spirits, but rather with knowledge
which makes such accumulated
stores unnecessary, since they know
how to make their own liquors
from old recipes handed down for
hundreds Of years.
No, prohibition would have no
terrors for Central Americans.
Their tropical climate and soil nur-
lures q peculiar tree whose fruit
resembles our plum. and being very
Juicy it readily lends itself to corr
hating bone dryness. From this
fruit 3 drink called "jocote" is made
which in three days after making
has enough alcoholic "kicls" to sat
isfy the most confirmed topper or
make the amateur imbber regret
having taken the second glass.
Passing over to the West Indies
We find that although rum is easy
to procure there, the natives have
:. favoritc drink called "mobby,"
which they make themselves. The
recipe calls for two quarts of syrup.
80 quarts OF water, one dozen or
.nges and one dozen red sweet po-
tatoes. After fermenting thirty
hours this apparently light drink is
ready, bat it really goes to the head

soon get SO accustomed 10 it that
they think nothing of gulping down

Dropping down to the South
american mainland, one finds that
favorite homemade drink of the Ind
ians there is called "burity,' which
IS nothing moro than the fermented
'uice of q tree having the same
name To procure this drink the
tree must be destroyed by cutting it

holes in the sides, but the natives
don't hesitate TO do this whenever
saey begin to feel dry or the supply
CT "burlty' runs low. Within a day

sweet to the taste, but ferments in
short time and is highly intoxicating.
In the Philippines
The aborigines of our Philippine
Islands can prepare an intoxicating
drink from tie plant raw material
almost as quickly as the average bar
tender mixes up q gin fizz. 1t is
called "kava,' getting its name from
that of the plant This drink is more
quickly and best prepared by the
chewing process, although it can be
made by the slower method Of crush
ing the leaves and roots and then
putting them in water TO ferment,
but most Of the natives use the first
method. Young, healthy men with
good teeth are selected for the
chewing process, and so quickly dc
they separate the fibre of the plant
that it leaves their mouths witt

Knight Auto Bill
Expected to Curb
Reckless Drivers
Governors Approval of
Measure Will Put All
Operators of Machines
Under Supervision of the
Secretary Of State

If Governor Smith signs the Knight
Wheelock auto bill, as he indicated he
would, following the hearing on the
measure in Albany yesterday, the law
will make, its hackers say, for the
elimination of incompetent operators
and put a firm check on reckless
drivers.
Last year in this city alone SOB per-
sons were killed by incompetent or
reckless drivers, while more than $4,000
were injured because OF a lax law and
carelcssness.
The principal features of the pro-
posed law provide that all operators of
motor cars must be licensed by the
Secretary Of State and that the license
may be revoked on the recommendation
of judge or city magistrate.
This license shall be issued only after
the applicant passes an examination.
which will include road test under
the supervision of an agent of the Sec
retary Of State. At present onlv chant
1eurs are examined as to fitness.
Another drastic provision makes the
signers of applications for licenses who
make false statements liable to impris
onment for one year and fine of not
more than $500. At present those
guilty OF making false statements can
not DC imprisoned, and the largest fine
which may be imposed is $50.
Those who want to learn to drive a
car either their own or another's. must
have a permit from the Secretary of
State, and during the period of in
struction shall be at all times accom-
panied by licensed operator or chauf-
teur. The instructor shall be liable
