publicity to put it over. The pub

Introducing a silly game, the name
of which was Beaver" It's very
much like auto poker.
The idea was this: Two men,
strolling along the street together,
could play it. The first one to
spot a man with a beard would
call out Beaver" and that was a
score for him. Sometimes the
game was scored like tennis; some
times it was played on a basis
Of one point per beaver, until
some agreed-upon number had
been reached.
TOOK GAME SERIOUSLY.
The Telegraph introduced and
popularized the game. In time,
q new development occurred;
moustaches were played off against
boards. Beard-wearers were bea-
yer, and counted Two; the man
adorned with a mustache was a
walrus, and that counted one.
Roughly, twice as many men in
the British Isles, it was assumed,
wear mustaches as those who
wear boards.
England took up the game, as

nents. Messrs. Volstead and
Wayne B. Wheeler and the Rev.
DIR. Wilbur Crafts. whether by

BEAVER vs.. WALRUS.
America can hardly adopt the
variety of the beaver game in
which the beaver is played off
against the walrus. at least not
on the English basis. That as
sumes, roughly that one British
Islander is bearded to every two
who wear mustaches. Possibly
the prevalence Of policemen in
London does much to hold up the
beaver standard. Who can imag-

the game would have to insist on
tremendous odds. The beaver

zest Is given the pastime by the
fact that goats are occasionally
encountered in the country. and

ruled that q goats beard may be

time, however, 1t was tacitly
agreed that George ". who wears

deed, it was considered-then-a
gross social error to shout "Bea-
yer" at His Royal Highness.
But the patrons Of the game
were insistent that the sight Of
the royal brush ought to count,
and at last. Just as tacitly as the
other agreement was reached. 1t

latter is the more important.
Statistics show a clean-cut re-
lation between the disappearance
of beaver and the mounting cost
Of living. In these days, only
the wealthy man can afford such
a pet. In 1914. the percentage
of beaver TO the total male popu-
lation above the age Of twenty
one was 12.70s. according to the
compilations OF that indefatigable
observer, E. X. Thrumm. who

But the tendency Of the times

Maybe that was why they called

At any rate. Alexander was
about the first character in his
tory to dispense with whiskers.
