s9Real Beer" Mayor
Hints Dry Officials
Have Faulty Vision
,Johnstown Executive Frets
Because Investigators Are
Minimizing Situation He
Insists Is E'Horrible"

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Aug. 22.-"So
Director Davis is trying to minimize
the booze situation as it has been in
this city for some time," said Mayor
Joseph Garfield to-day when informed
that the state prohibition director had
told officials in Washington that "real
beer" did not exist in Johnstown even
after the invitation of he ciy's
chief executive to all residents to
drink all the real beer they wanted,
az he would not interfere with it's
sale.e
Funny thing these prohibition
agents and minions of the law can't
the mayor. "Just ask Director Davis
for me why the Federal officers have
permitted the delivery of real beer
the kind that contains more than the
legal rate Of alcohol-each Friday to
the saloons in this city. If the pro-
hibition officials would uphold their
oath Of Office this flood of illegal booze
would stop and it would not be neces-
sary to draw the attention of the head
of the department in Washington to
conditions here.
II didn't issue my invitation for
YOUNGSTOWN people to, drink beer. with

apparently having failed, knew pub
licity would wake them up.
~ can't down the liquor traffic alone
and / used this method to draw the
attention of the outside world to con-
ditions here"
While Director Davis was officially
reporting to his superiors in Washing,
ton that the "Johnstown situation had
been vastly exaggerated" most of the
people here who know conditions Say
that beer has not only flowed freely
for months, but. still can be obtained
with little trouble by any person who
wants it and has the price.
Mayor Cauffiel has punished many
offenders against the state prohibition
law, but his efforts to stamp out the
traffic have had little effect Smarting
under what he considers ridicule Of
his efforts by the prohibition heads,
Mayor Caufiel says he will make
them see daylight next time"

The White Star liner Majestic, the

which has been a consistent performer
since her maiden trip to this port sew

morning from Cherbourg and South
ampton triffe behind her usual fast
time across the Atlantic.
She has usually made port Tues
day afternoons on her westward runs
and would have locked last night had
it not been for reduction Of speed
soon after clearing the Cherbourg
Breakwater, owing to replacement of
struts on the low pressure port tur-
bine.

When the vessel left Cherbourg the
fourth turbine was cut out and the
work Of replacing new struts was be-

caused the vessels speed to drop to
about seventeen knots, but at the end

Sir Bertram Hayes, her master, re.

Reddy looked and looked. He was
SO intent on looking down in the
water that he didn't look anywhere
else for a couple of minutes. Then
ne glanced back across the railroad
bridge over which he had raced the
train. He gave little start Of sur.
prise. He rubbed his ewes. There.
trottlng across that bridge, was a dog
and it was the living image of Bow
ser the Hound! Reddy's face looked
very much as it might have looked
had he seen q ghost.
But Reddy knew that this was mn
ghost. He knew that it was Rowser
himself. He knew that Bowser had
remembered that trick and had wait.
ed Tor that train to pass. He knew
.nat Bowser was coming across to
look Tor his trail again, for Bowser is
not easily discouraged. Such disan-
pointment! There was 10 he M
chance TO rest and cool off. He must
take to his heels again and try tn
think OF some other trick. Instead of
being rested, he was more tired than
ever. for he had to run his fastest to
keep ahead of that train. He d;dn,t
dare wait another minute. He must
get as far away rs he could before
Bowger could find his trail. So hot
tired and dusty, Reddy Fox turned
and hurried away.

Bedtime Stories
Reddy's Disappointment
BY Thornton w. Burgess
He avastes his time who seeks CO.
cuse
For doing wrong; so avhat's the
use?
-Reddy Fox.

When Reddy Fox jumped from the
track at the end Of the railroad bridge
he was barely in time to save his
life. With a laundering roar the
train swept past, so close to Reddy
that 1t is a wonder he wasn't drawn
IN under the wheels. He had landed
IN q hot, very dry, sandy place, and
the wind from the train pulled up
the sand and filled his coat with it.
The dust got in his eyes and up his
nose and choked him. AS fast as he
could be scrambled up sandy bank
and there he sat down and locke i
back eagerly. You see, Reddy didn't
know whist had become of Bowser the
Hound. Nhen he was running across
the railroad bridge he had no chance
to look back to see if Bowser was at
his heels, He hoped he was, and that
that train had hit him. But he didn't
know.
So now Reddy sat at the top Of that
sandy bank and eagerly looked down
into the water. He was looking to
see il there was any sign of Bowser
down there. If Bowser had been hit
by that train, of course the chase was
over and Reddy could trot home in
comfort. He felt almost sure that
GoWsar had started after him across
that bridge. He knew just how ex-
cited Bowser had been at the sight OF
him and he had counted on that ex-
element being so great that Bowser
would pay no heed to the train which
was coming.
Il guess this is the end Of Bowser
the Hound said Reddy to himself
as he locked eagerly down into the
water. Il guess he'll never worry me
again. 1t WAS rather mean trick
and I'm sorry I had to do 1t. GER
tainly will miss Bowser. But | Just
had to get rid of him. 1t seems to
me that never was SO tired in nv
life. Certainly ! never was 90 hot.
| wonder IL i ever will get cool

really isn't my fault. He should
have. had sense enough to have been
on the watch for THAI train. i won

, A woman has as much right to
smoke as mar, only she should do It
in the house, or in a hallway, on any
place but the street, where she will
not attract crowd, In the opinion Of
Patrolman Peter Kilian, the policeman
from the West Thirtieth Street sta
ton, who started young whirlwind
of comment when he knocked Mrs.
Mary Sladden's cigarette from her
hand
"They can do it as good as me-, and
it amt none OF my business II they
want to smoke. he said, while he
leaned against one Of the old FASH
toned iron posts along his beat.
"vshen I'm In civies they don't bother
me at all. In fact, / wouldn't give
them a tumble, just for satisfaction's
sake"
In uniform, however, it's quite diff,
ferent thing, for, as Kilian pointed
out, in this unenlightened age, a
woman smoking on the street is still
strange sight.
That's Disorderly Conduct"
"Shell collect a crowd, and that's
disorderly conduct, as / see 1t. If
people was used to it, they wouldn't
pay no attention" he said, then added
conclusively, "But. they won't ever get
used to it.''
A woman has to have certain
amount of self respect, Kilian moral
lied, and stay in her proper place.
A man should, too.
"And by prope- place l mean act
orderly" he emphasized with his stick.
Stockings nothing new to me. ! was

T-Ils About Striking Pill
PatroIman Kilian wanted to get
something else off his chest. He ex-
planned how he had come to hit the
not so offending cigarette from Mrs.

"She had crowd around her, told

be surprised if she meant to burn me
