The celebration" was more like a New Years Eve in spirit (and spirits) than anything else, because the main idea was to drink the old oases re- gime out and the new dry era in, and the big moment was at 12 o'clock sharp. But is was New Years Eve magnified a hundredfold.
 HAD NO MONOPOLY
 The drinking was not confined to Broadway by any means In differ ent degree the scenes were the same all over town. The Fifth Avenue hotels and restaurants held as riotous crowds as any Broadway cabaret. Wakes for poor old John Barleycorn were held from the Battery to the Bronx and no borough of the city can claim any superiority in the quantity of hard 1.luor and intoxicating wines consumed
 Reports from outlying sections like Coney Island, the Rockaways, Long Beach, other Long Island country re- sorts, Jersey and Westchester were all to the same effect--that it was a most elegant wake. and more people probably got drunk in and around New York during the day and night than in any other week in the past.

down Broadway and through the side streets just north of And. It started with seven men and a coffin. One man stag gered along in front and six. others car ried the casket on their shoulders. They had six empty whiskey bottles on top the coffin, two at each end and two in the middle.
 The leader carried three whiskey bot ties, which were full when they started, and a battle-torn American flag. As they went along, the seven announced from time to time that they had fought in France and were mourning the death blow to personal liberty that had been struck in their absence. Also from time to time, they stopped, placed the coffin

 When the funeral procession arrived in front of the West Fourth street police station the seven men graveIy stopped and the leader lighted the candles stuck in the six whiskey bottles. Then they had drink all around and marched on As they continued, a crowd began to follow at their heels, and every time they passed a street corner the crowd increased, every street intersection hay ing a saloon and some having four

celebration" ever held on such large scale. Although joy reigned for the moment, the air was filled with sad ness. Poor old Booze! He was good fellow and there they were taking his remains to the cemetery. To drink and be merry at such time was like joy at a funeral.
 There were plenty of people on Broadway last night, incidentally. who seemed to think there would be noth- ing left to live for today, so they tried to drink themselves to death last night. The old song with the line, Pickle my bones in alcohol" was sung at every bar

WAR HAD WROUGHT CHANGE
Doughboy Found It Hard to Realize
the Difference Two Years
of War Had Made.

A new story of the Red Cross bag
comes from Harvey d. Gibson, former
Red Gross commissioner for Europe
and president of the Liberty National
bank of New York. He got the story
from one of the workers in hospital
hut in Dion. Everybody who has ever
seen wounded soldier knows the bag
of gaudy cretonne with the little Red
Cross in the corner, in which each boy
keeps the bit Of shrapnel the doctor
dug out of his knee, the last letter
from home, the picture of his girl, his
toothbrush and all his most cherished
possessions. One of the boys in the
Dijon hospital had just been presented
with his bag, pink-and-white one. He
accepted it gracefully, then he began
to laugh. "Say," he declared, eff some
one had told me two years ago that
I'd be agoin' to war with wrist watch

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about US and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. If we are very
careful in hair washing, We will have
virtually no hair troubles. An espe-
cially fine shampoo for this weather,
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair; that dissolves and
entirely removes all dandruff. excess
oil and dirt; can easily be used at
triflinS expense by simply dissolving
a teaspoonful of canthrox (Which you
can get at any druggists) in a cup
of hot water. This makes a full cup
of shampoo uquid-enoush so it is
easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead of just the top of the head. This
chemically dissolves all impurities
and creates soothing, cooling lather.
Rinsing leaves the scalp spotiessly
clean, soft and plant. while the hair
takes on the glossy richness of nat
ural color, also a fluffiness which
makes it seem much heavier than ii
is. After canthrox shampoo. arrang-
ing the hair is pleasure.-Adv.
