 Some one in Washington gather ing day or two ago remarked that under national prohibition. drinking had passed from the realm of vice and had become sport There is something to think about in that statement. unquestionably it is trde that the procurement of liquor has become a game-some will say that drinking it is game of chance Drinking parties, however, are a thriving indoor sport if not national pastime.

 ocracoke Is at the extreme south ern end of a little island by the same name. located about 30 miles eff the mainland of North Carolina, and is unique in many respects Ocra- coke Island, which Is part of Hyde county North Carolina, Is little strip of land about II miles long and ranges in width from one-half to one and a half miles. The popula- ton of the island numbers about TOO, about $50 of whom live at Ocracoke. Those who do not live in the little town are members of the families of coast guardsmen who patrol the coast.
 Hunting and Fishing As there are no railroads, automo- piles. street cars or theatres where motion pictures are shown, many of the inhabitants at Ocracoke have never seen any of these things. With the exception of the men employed by the United States government as coast guardsmen and the few nor chants in the little town, all Ocra- cokers make their living hunting and fishing.
 Every person on Ocracoke Island is a Methodist in religion, They are divided, however. as to the sectional branch to which they belong, about half being members of the Metho- dist Episcopal church south, while the others attend the northern church.
 Ocracoke is one of the oldest set dement's in America. The people are believed by many historians to be descendants of the Lost Colony" of Sir Walter Raleigh.

EMERGENCY MONEY IN ITALY

From the Scientific Amerlcan.
 The scarcity of small change in Italy has reduced the population to using postage stamps instead. These, however, are not a success. for after passing from horny hand to horny hand, foul pocket to foul pocket, they become even more black and greasy and germ laden than thu two-penny- halfpenny banknotes. And indelicate people are seizing the the opportu- nifty to palm off stamps that have already passed through the post. h. genious tradesmen have accordingly combined advertisement with utility by issuing postage stamps in metal disks with a transparent front and the names of their wares on the re- verse Conditions illustrate the reck- lessness of the government. which deliberately neglects one of the easi- est avenues of profit at a time when the national finances are in the shaki- est condition.

 chimes and drive away. Then close associate of MT. Davison's made the announcement of the death.
 Funeral Tuesday
 In few minutes Mir Morgan drove into the estate again, accompanied by Rev. Dr. Charles W. Hinton Afser conference with members of che family it was announced that funeral services would be held at II a. m, Tuesday in the chapel of St. Johns of Latington, the Episcopal church in Locust Valley, which was founded by the late J. P. Morgan and in which MT Davison had been a vestryman for many years.
 Rev Dr. Hinton will direct the services, assisted by Rev Dr. Endi- colt Peabody, head master of Groton School, Conn, and father of Mrs. Trubee Davison, wife of the finan- cier's eldest son.
 Soon after 1t was learned that the operation had been fatal. Mrs Davi- son, supported by her two sons, left , the home and walked with them for over an hour among the b1ossoming o1 chards and Towering gardens of the estate.
 They followed probably without in- tent, the course taken by MT. Davi- son only last night when he made the round of the grounds to which he had become so endeared. In the after noon he had gone driving with them, had chatted during the greater part of the ride and then in buoyant spirits had announced that the sur geons were coming for another op- eration.
 spends Cheerful Night
 Last night he played with his grandson, Trubee Davison, Jr., before starting on what was to be his last tour of the gardens. He walked up to one of his oldest employees and said:
 well, John. I'm going to have little party tomorrow"
 But there were tears in MT. Ddvi- sons eyes as he wheeled and walked off, the gardner said when he told of the incident today. And there were tears in the gardeners.
 Until the hour for the operation drew near, the Davison estate was unguarded and open to the public, as it always has been. Shortly before neon, guards began to appear and stationed themselves at all entrances. l. was at the surgeons orders, they said, because of the need for abso- lute silence for 72 hours after the brain was operated on. For several hours after 1t was learned the master of the house was dead these guards relaxed vigilance. A stream of auto 7 mobiles began to pour into the drive way, bearing messages of condolence to the Davison family. Hundreds of telegrams were received during the evening. until at the request of fam fly physicians, all but close friends of the Davisons were denied entrance to the grounds.

first time. "I thought so from the start he added. T remember you you were stationed at Tours when was there with the army
 A number of the overseas delegates had similar experiences in Washing ton. Mrs. Heanne Woodward of New York was about to board car when four young men came along One of them looked at her hard. Weren't you at Coblenz after the armistice?' he asked. When she smilingly said she was, all the young men wanted to pay her fare at once. The conductor ended the argument.
 "Ill pay the lady's fare myself. l was in the army, too.'
 The tie that binds ex-sery!ce men and ex-service women is something more than mere friendly interest. It
 is thing that tugs at the heart strings. The women who saw service in France and Germany will never lose interest in the fate of the doughboys. particularly the disabled veterans.
 And now comes word from London that our versatile Col. George Har- vey has set himself up as an arbiter of womens fashions. Not only an ar bitter but a bon-motter as well. Lon don, according to Washington visit ors. is In upheaval, fashionably speaking. The British women don't want to wear the long skirts being affected in Paris Anyone who has had to paddle about in the frimy streets of London during the rainy season will not blame the women. The short skirts that came with the war proved such a boon the women want to wear them forever.
 It seems that Ambassador Harvey, being asked his opinion of the long and short skirts controversy, replied in truly Harveyesque fashion that skirts ought to be like after dinner spceches-long enough to cover the subject but short enough to be inter- esting.
 Washington, officially and other wise, has gone golf crazy Pretty soon Congress or the commis- eioners who preside over the destinies of this voteless federal district. will have to pass laws patterned on those of St. Andrews. in Scotland. A cen tury or two ago. according to Freddie Mcleod. professional at the Colum- bia club. all of St. Andrews took up the game, The players and the cad- dies were not content with playing on the links. They carried clubs with thcm at all hours -of the day and night and would stop on sidewalk or street every now and then to take a few practice swings. Some of the boys even began to whale the "gutty'' ball down the St. Andrews streets and lanes-long lanes that had plenty of turnings. Broken noses. broken win dows. parked shins and all sorts of trouble followed the fever.
 Tt got so bad" said Freddie. that they had to pass an ordinance max ing it against the law to swing a golf stick on the sidewalks or on the streets. The fine wasn't much, two and six. but it had the effect of stop ping the street practice. Man. it was 'turrible.' You were apt to get a brassie in the eye or a driver In the
