There is story connected with these
tickets. Mr.. Merkling, it appears, was
riding in his automobile through one of
Washington's principal thoroughfares,
and at the same time he was carrying
with him champagne of which he was
the owner in an entirely legal way.
A biue-coated po::ceman, handling
the traffic at an Intersection, when
he saw MerkHng's machine, threw
up warning hand and motioned him
over to one side. In the moment
which interviewed between his being
halted and the time when the police
man reached the side of his automo-
bile Mr.. Merkling had Kaleidoscope
mental picture of the champagne in
the bottom of his car and the fate
which sometimes overtakes the most
innocent. He managed to ask the
officer what he wanted. however.
The policeman waved a blue ticket
under his nose, and asked if he
wouldn't be so kind as to buy one
for the police and f1remen's sake.
How many you got?" breathed
Mr. Merkling. The policeman pro-
duced a round dozen.
