that he was not like all other ne

the Mohammedan faith. Mr.. Hor-

New York City
b, o. O. Me1utyre

New York, July s-Prohtbitton
has not eliminated the professional
bouncer In the gay haunts OF pleas
ure. Up at Tom Heaiy's ana at
Jacks In the old days the walters
had ..fiying wedge" that appeared
mysteriousiy as thought dropping
from chandeliers or emerging from
trap doors. They had the obstrep-
erous customer out in the air De-
fore he knew just what had hap
pened. The effect was to cool the
burst of temperament
The evolution of the Douncer has
been gradual. The nrst bouncer on
record was at McGuirk's Suicide
Hall on the Bowery. He was an
ex-pug with q caulinower ear. pock
marked and he wore a flaming ce-
rise tie and a derby at tilted an
gle. When a patron stood up and
announced he was. ready to lick the
world the bouncer didn't stop to
argue. He merely swung on him
with powerful right and the Ut
tie birds began to twitter.
II was rough but effectual. Then
came the day OF the more gentle
manly bouncer who was generally
loaned from a detective agency. HIS
mission was to pour oil on trou-
bled waters and he did II out OF the
corner OF the mouth. He must
never strike, he must plead and
argue and IL his persuasive words
fell on deaf ears give the signal
for "the flying wedge" and out
went the customer. In the cafe
patois II was hitting the air" or
"gulping the breeze"
In these latter days, however,
the bouncer has a polish. He wears
evening clothes, visits the manicure
parlors and even pomades his
hair. He is given the title OF "as-
sistant manager" and when trouble
Is brewing he Is peace messenger
bearing the olive twig with sleek
phrases of diplomacy. II he fails
he calls the police and that ends
the matter. There Is no rough
work.
The flask parties sometimes over
indulge. And with the blended
poison they consume they fall into a
sort of alcoholic haze. The chief
problem Is to keep them awake. At
one famous cafe the other night
shortly after midnight the assist
ant manager" found a party of
eight soundly sleeping. And all
were snoring too loudly for the
comfort of their neighbors. They
were awakened and asked to leave.
Both men and women yswned all
the way out and looked sheepish.
There Is always material for a
circus attraction in any block on
Broadway. In a half hour the other
night an observer noticed: Five
Highlanders in kits: a seven-foot
Mexican in revolutionary SOL
dier's uniform; three dwarfs; two
young women, one carrying a small
brown ring-taiI monkey and the
other wearing a trained chameleon; !;
a barefoot boy leading a dog that
had a pipe in its mouth and an old
sandwich man advertising a sure
clre-all. who by the skilful Use of
a mask appeared to be walking
both backward and forward at the
same time.
