START WAR ON CAFE LOAFER
High Rents and Quicker Sale Force
Issue in Havana.

I
Havana, Cuba, Dec. 26.-High rents
ard successfully supplementing the
futile attempts of the law to eliminate
the more undesirable features of that
ancien mt Latin institution-the corner
cafe loater. Taking their cue from
the high efficiency cigar stores and
quick lunch counters of the United
States, several HaSana cafe owners,
who are paying top prices for choice
locations. have rid themselves of the
Inents and drive away clients.
They have removed the convenient
tables and chairs. enlarged their bars
and counters where coffee and other
refreshments are served, and adopted
other methods to assure quick service
and speedy profits. The group OF
domino players who spent about SO
cents a day and occupied the best
table, has been forced to move. The
political orator soon tires if he can
not sit down occasionally. The whole
tribe of Iofterers finds it hard to pass
a few hours in a cafe where the bar
is swabbed continually with a wet
cloth, to the detriment of carelessly
placed elbows, and white shoes suffer
from a constantly moving mop.
While 1.-The practice has improved
~Sa9es and increased profits, nObodysyet
has endeavored to learn whether the
reform has pleased the weaker sex
1t is a common belief that the first
time a Cuban matron runs t4e gauntlet
in front of any one of the popular
down town cafes without exciting
comment from the gallants lounging
there, she goes home to weep for her
lost youth and feminine fascination.
