Prominent Harrisburg women re-

saloons into canteens and commu-

of the liquor traffic. 1t was sug-
gested that churches take over some
of the saloons and convert them into
places where men may gather. Light
lunches and suppers are to be sold
and Nictrolas and pianos are to pro-
vide music. Literature is to be dis
tributed and 1t is planned to make
the rooms as comfortable and honie-

liquor men had made the plea that
men would have no place to go when
beer is banished. -
