 Customers complain that once seated in a beer parlor there is nothing to do but to drink beer Two well-known men about town met after long absence in one yesterday afternoon They had much to tell each other. It seemed that every third man who entered the place knew them and wished to stand treat
 Soon they had all the beer they thought good for them and would gladly have sandwiches, but the law says nothing but beer and perforce they had nothing but beer. When they rose to go home they were literally beer-logged.

 Companies who are declared to have fallen victim to his misleading bookkeeping, besides The Highlands, Inc, are the Washington Securities Annex He served all three organi- cations, it is said as confidential ac- countant.
 Method Used.
 His invariable method of misap- propriating funds, it was charged, was to divert to his presonal ac- count money given him to pay taxes on real, estate. When, ill March, 1923, he obtained a check for $1S,000 from the Highlands, inc, to pay taxes of property holders in that ex- elusive residential districr, he used s15,9S835 of it, it is asserted, to make good a like amount he had embedded from the Washington Annex. hotel corporation.
 In reported signed confession to May he is said to have explained:
 T learned that just prior to Marcn 15, 1923, the Washington Annex shifted mortgage from Charlotte E. Hawkins to the Washington Mu- tual Savings bank and I knew that an examination of the abstract would reveal a tax delinquency on the Washington Annex for the year 1922, which was the means of cover ing up the Washington Annex short age"
 In desperation, he continued, he

diverted the major charge, The Highlands, Inc, check to pay the Washington Annex taxes. He ad. mitted to Rhodes, that he had inter. mittently juggled his accounts since 1912 to cover up rapidly increasing embeZzlements.
 Altered tax receipts served tenn porarily to cover up the speculations, it is said, but the organizing short ages finally tumbled for lack of res titution and caught Brockway-the trusted accountant-in the ruins.
 T always thought I would make cleanup on my stocks and be able to make good the shortages in that way" he said. But none of my ventures turned out. I lost all, and here I am."

BUT VANCOUVER FINDS SOME DIFFERENCE FROM OLD DAYS

VANCOUVER, B. O., Apr. 10.- Four days since they were opened finds the beer parlors in Vancouver doing a thriving business. Almost any hour of the day sees at least forty patrons in each establishment slipping their beer, and during rush hours, particularly at noon and after , o'clock, when customers drop in for an apetizer, there are very few vacant seats.
 If the present patronage continu- es, license holders will have little fault to find with the volume of trade At least, this is the general opinion of the layman, who is not versed in the intricacies of catering to the public and does not have to worry about overhead" and re- ceipts aud expenditures.
 Naturally the biggest business so far was done on Saturday, opening day, when everyone wished to Hook over" the new places and satisfy himself that at last beer by the glass was procurable. It is stat ed on good authority that the re- ceipts at one parlor exceeded $700 on Saturday.
 So far the ubiquitous bobbed-hair flapper is conspicuous by her ab sence
 Old Days and New.
 Taking a glass of beer under the new system as compared with the old days is a longer and more seri- ous business. In other days one could dash into the bar, call for a schooner, toss it off and leave, all in the space of minute or two Today, one has first to find a table unoccupied, if he desires to drink alone, flag a awaiter and then wait until that busy individual has gone to the counter, put in your order and then return with it to you.
 If one is we'll known in the com munity where the parlor he is pat ronizing is situated, the chances are, that he meets friends and the in evitable happens-more glasses of beer When one is esconsced in a comfortable chair it is not so easy making a getaway" as in the old days, when he stood with his foot on the brass rail.
 Gone are the pleasant chatter and the sklful manipuations of the old time bartender, who, with a run ming fire of comment on the cur rent news of the day and dexter ous twist of the wrist, was accus- toned to slide the heavy-laden schooner along the bar to stop at the exact spot where one was stand ing.
 It is all business in the beer par Tor today. A waiter, under the watchful eye of the boss, so as not to overlook an order. hustles about the room. He pays for his beer at the counter to a business-like individual who rings the cash reg isters and then returns to you with your order and to collect.
 "AII Look Alike"
 Tn the hurry of getting ready for business few of the owners have given much play to their imagina ton in the furnishing of their es tablishments. Nearly all look alike "a big room with lighting effects none too good, a row of tables ol built-in seats and tables, bare walls and cuspidors, which do not add to the attractiveness of the place perhaps others, where one can drink beer in the common room or pay
