The report states that the use and

Wets" Double Victory
In Queensland Election

Sydney, N. S. W., Nov. 10-(A. P.
by MaiD-The overwhelming victory
Of the "wets" in the recent election
at Queensland. wherein the voters in
favor of continuance more than
doubled their majority oyer the
election of 1920, is directly attributed
to the fact that the liquor trade, or
public houses voluntarily consented to
curtailment. of hours in which their
places of business were kept open.
Until recent amending legislation
was passed the bars kept open from
6 A. NJ. until IL p. NJ. There were
three issues in the Decentralization,
state control and continuance. The
campaign was unprecedently bitter
because, under the recently amended
legislation. it was the last poll that
would have prohibition as an issue.
The result was more than usually
uncertain because compulsory voting,
which was applied to a liquor poll for
the first time in Australia, introduced
an unknown quantity into the fac
tors to be counted on.
Shortly before the poll, however,
the, liquor contingent voluntarily
submitted to the curtailment of hours
from II to IL daily. The bars agreed
ITO onen at s Am. and close at 8
p. M. This reform had a profound
effect on public opinion, and the re-
suit was a clean sweep for continu-
ance.

English Court Bars
Cater to RarriSters

London, Dec. Ia. P. by Mail
Many American visitors and most
English people know the law courts
and have at some time or another
visited the admiralty, divorce. pro-
bate and other divisions to hear in
teresting cases, but few know of the
existence of various bars" within
the buildings which are properly
licensed for the sale of intoxicants.
The biggest of these is the Crypt
Bar. where all sorts Of laymen and
legal authorities congregate during
lunch time and where as many ac-
lions have been settled between So
licitors' clerks as those which come
before the judge. There is tiny
little bar. reserved exclusively for
officials of the court. who boast that
they have the best "Graught" ale in
London, while another caters to the
staff and police when the latter are
off duty.
The refreshment department of the
courts is large but provides homely
fare.
