HOTELS LIKE PROHIBITION.

Hotels were supposed to be pretty
hard hit by the prohibition regime.
Now according to the president Of

of liquor if they could. Very few of
them would like to see even the sale

adds. 1.-The most rabid proponents of
liquor admit their business is much
more easily conducted since John
Barleycorn was laid to rest"
The illicit distribution of liquor to
hotel patrons. at first quite trouble
some, is being reduced steadily.
Prohibition has benefited the ma
tons hostelries in two ways. In the
first place. most proprietors decided
to improve their side lines. such as
barber shops, candy and magazine
stands and souvenir sales To their
surprise. they found that these side
issues brought in a much larger pro-
mt than their bars had returned form
erly. The second benefit is in the OPP

easier and less expensive under
prohibition regime The handling of
guests and the management of en-
ployees have both improved There
are fewer parties at late hours, re-
curing large force of employees.
Guests are less querulous. Breakage of
equipment is lessened. Employees
themselves are more reliable and eff

GOODBYE, OLD BESS"
Alfred Wheaton Sweet
in Farm Poems"

There's no use in talking, Ann,
I've got to sell "Old Bess"
Ii | expect to do some biz
And get there with the rest
I'll have to get a Gomobile,
Or go flying through the air.
Or sell the farm and hxin's
And give up in despair,
| drove my team in town today
To sell some fruit and eggs:
And Bess you know. is a fine old horse
With four good level legs.
The way | put her DER the road
Ill bet would make you smile:
But load went by in buzz machine
And had me beat a mile.
When | drove upto Johnson's store
He said. Isl Brown. you're late;
| took the other fellows stuff.
| had no time to wait.
The world is moving quicker now.
Ill give you just tip:
Trade your horse for flying machine
And make faster trip"
But somehow, Ann. | cannot sell
Old Bess, so good and true.
She brought me down to clover dell
When l came counting you.
Well keep her here with us, dear wife.
Let foolish people fly;
She's earned with us a peaceful life
Until we say Goodbye"

SAFER TRAVELLING ON
AMERICAN DESERT"

Every year the american Desert"
takes its toll of human life. In many
parts of it springs, wells and water
holes are few and far between. Three
years ago the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, Department of the Inter-
ior, under small special appropria-
ton by Congress, erected signposts
in the worst portions of our south
western deserts, giving directions and
distances from watering place to wat
ering place. This life-saving work of
the Geological Survey was supple
mented by survey of these deserts
in cooperation with the California De-
partment of Engineering, the results
of which are being published in a
series of guidebooks. A guide just
issued, entitled Routes to deert wat
ering places in the Salton Sea- region,
California" by ]. S. Brown, contains
maps of roads and watering places
and road logs giving mileage and
notes as to supplies obtainable.

WOMAN'S DRESS

| Unlike a good many censors of
femme dress and department, Presi-
dent Eliot or Harvard does not charge
the women OF today with deliberate
intention to clothe themselves in an
improper manner; he holds them to
be victims OF the autocratic authority
! of fashion. The result shocks Presi-
dent Eliot He told the Unitarian wo-
men of Boston the other day that"
I'VE can see the way women dress
on any Boston street.
Our mothers would call it an in-
decent way.
These young women don, want
| to be indecent.
They merely went to be fash
ionable and pretty.
"But the clothes are immodest. And
they have psychological effect. They
tend toward immodesty in manner"
Undoubtedly the women of Boston
clothe themselves about as other Am
erican women do In the past the
feminine population Of the Massachu-l
sets capital was composed of women,
young and old, of good ense, good
appearance and good manners; pop
ulation fully entitled to classification
on the same plane with New York's
in wholesome and attractive qualities.
We never encountered the jokesmith's
favorite bluestocking Boston girl; we
don't believe she ever existed. DR..
Eliat's assertion that these women
and their daughters have come to dress
in a manner which might be describ-
ed as indecent" and that their dress
makes for loose morals" is hard
to credit.
If Boston morals are loose il is a
mighty serious thing. 1t is not thing
to jest about We are thankful to say
that New York morals are not loose;
the men and women of this city
maintain themselves in self-respect
and mutual respect, following the
fashion when it suits them, disregard
ing it when it doesn't suit them. On
Fifth avenue and on what DR.. Devery
called double Fifth avenue, and on
all the cross streets and other ave-
nues, the good taste of New York
women is disclosed in their dress,
their independence is revealed in their
demeanor, and their virtues are dis
covered in their bearing. Some of
them wear long skirts and waists cut
high; others wear short skirts and
expose their. chests like athletes; but
all Of them carry themselves modestly
and properly
A great deal of nonsense is talked
about women's dress and women's
manners and women's morals. The
facts are spread before everybody who
cares to examine them. The stand
ards of American women have al
ways been HIGH, and they are as high
today as they ever were. Changes in
industrial conditions have brought
changes in women's environment, have
thrown them into daily contact with
men in manner not known to their
mothers and grandmothers, but these
changes have not impaired their ideals
or lowered the excellence of their
habitual good conduct
