CONSUMPTION OF INTOXICANTS.

Some kind this copy
The Christian Advocate containing editorial which quotes
from Golfers Weekly item relative to the consumption of in
toXicants in this country.
This prohibition seventy cent effective
and this calculation careful unbiased
vestigation."
The investigation shows certain amount "traceabe By
this meant that the government has record OF so
existing laws The is only c1edited" to
oonshners and hooch mongers This is merely speculation
involved controversy
necon with the prohibition question: shall allow ourselves
be drawn into But when it to putting "guess
upon liquor sold illegally, manufactured for the
sole consumption of the manufacturer in this country
has much right to make estimate another because it
would appear absolutely impossible for to know just what
is being done along that line.
if allowed humble guess at the amount of
liquor consumed two of the big cities of the United States
in other than legal would equal the estimate of Golfers
eleven million gallons which credited to the whole country
If stop consider the millions Of inhabitants contained
York ncudng Bookn) and Chicago the
sumption each nhabant would be small at the eleven
millions estimate And when calculate the price at which
legal ntoxcants sod the number able to satisfy them
selves, is very small.
Those then unable to buy at legal rates ae largely
majority Booteggers it true sell at profits but
they these from those able to buy and who, times
would prefer to buy secretly because of outspoken prohibition
sentiment
Illegal traickers temper the wind to the shon lamb and
reduced prices to the poorer Glass; sell such
stuff spreads death and destruction whenever is consumed to
any great extent.
the poor people big cities constitute the big majority
will be that eliminating those who consistently alb
saner there enough left to consume eleven million gallons
in New York and Chicago alone in & short while.
This is all speculation but not much
preaching gospel truth somebody eses speculative de-
ductons any speculate and in humble opn
ion Golfers falls far short of stating accurately the
quantity of intoxcants consumed in this country.

DAVIS CHATEAU
HAS OPENING
TONIGHT

Jazz and JOY" will be the
slogan tonight at the gala open
ing of the Chateau LIE Paradis
at Ammendale,. Md. The new
resort will be packed to over
flowing with the gay sets Of both
Baltimore and Washington, all
reservations having been taken up
the last few days.
The Chateau LIE Paradis is a
sort Of suburban cousin to the
fashionable Cafe LIE Paradis and
Club Chanticleer on Thomas Circle
and will feature the same smart
atmosphere and highly modernistic
dance music. The Meyer Davis
Tent Band, from the Tent, in
Baltimore, will be the featured
musical attraction. 1t is led by
Nathan Brusiloff, known as the
youngest musical director in the
Never Davis organization or
ninety-four orchestras.
A special historical interest
attaches to the Chateau, since 1t
is the remodeled family mansion
of the Vaudeville Carlisles, one
of the foremost Of the old Mary
land families. In days previous
to the Civil War, the old house
was the scene of many notable
festivities, and the same walls
that will look down tonight on
modern debutantes doing the very
latest dance steps of the flaming
youth variety, may very prob.
ably have beheld their grand
mothers in the act Of shocking
the chaperons of the sixties and
seventies by stepping out" in the
whirls of the then startling waltz
and schottische.
The Chateau LIE Paradis is the
very latest of Meyer Davis mum
erous enterprises in Washington
and marks the advent of q new
and luxurious type of resort TOR
the Capital. More than $3eO,OOO
has been expended in the re-
modelling and redecoration Of the
huge old mansion, which is now
pronounced by architects to be
the most beautiful place OF It's
type in the East.
