 Pitch Men Meet Occasion
 There is q former bartender who is quietly amassing a fortune down in the paddock" district by the unique idea of requiring the patrons of his little cafe to obey the pro- hibition law. Neither will he serve any food unless a soft drink order also is given. His rule is arbitrary. No person will be served who docs not order the prescribed beverage, or who comes in under the influence Of liquor.

New York Finds N0iSieSt Are
 Most Prosperous

New York. June iS Enterprise and business ingei uity probably pay higher cash dividends in Gotham thaH any other city. Manhattan is ready to flock, not to the man who makes the best mousetrap, but to the one who ballyhoos his mousse trap in the most effective manner.
 Thus one restauranteur has come ito 6 secure pl"ce on Easy Street" through putting his patrons on an honor system. His plan is simple. The patron eats ana then on the way out of the restaurant stops at tho cashiers cage to namc the amount of his own check. There is no supervision. Yet the restaurant tcur says his percentage of loss is so small that ho actually saves money through the elimination Of help required for a checking sys- tenn. Besides, he says, the idea at tracts new patrons.
 CGpitalizcs on "DrawI"
 The aUdacity of his plan is the more apparent when compared with that of a chain soda fountain or ganization which requires all patrons 10 pay in advance TOT their orders before they will be served.
 The Manhattanite has strong leaning for atmosphere" The soft, southern lrawl is very popnlar on the island, so much so that it is froouently exaggerated by those who would not give it a thought in their home towns. Ono man made for tune by capitalizing the idea. He opened an "old-fashioned, southern waffle house" and hired young lady who were fortunate enough to possess q real or pseudo southern accent

 Flash Quicker Than Eve
 Never has the minutest bit of the bombs covering been found after wards. The flash is so quick that although persons on the ground see the illumination it causes. they do not actually see the flare itself. Ii is too quick for the human eye.
 In Dayton and Rochester. photo- graphers also were stationed at vari- ous points on the ground ill spires and on tall buildings to take pano- ramas of the surrounding country hy the light of the bursting bomb. Some of these pictures have been exceptionally clear and have ap- proximated daylight photographic work. The photographic plates are usually exposed when the warming trail Of sparks is seen and are left exposed until after the flare.
 The shutters on the cameras car 7ied by the planes in the test flights are usually four times as fast as those on the average commercial camera. Some Of these cameras are between four and five feet long with 36-inch lenses, measuring nine inches in diameter. They take photo graphs measuring nine by 2$ inches The nsnal height at which these pie tures are taken is 5000 feet.

Turkish Women Really
 Far From Emancipated

Angora. June IS (P>-Mustapha Kemals Emancipation" for Turk ish women is little more than q myth.

 It is true polygamy has been sup pressed and that the Moslem woman is now permitted to appear in pub lie. but her social and political posi- tion is still very obscure. There is no direct universal suffrage.

FlGHT OF TONIC

Courts May Decide About New

Washington, March Sl LP'-- Whether the new malt tonic with it's 3.76 per cent Of alcohol and its resemblance 10 outlawed beer will be salable throughout the United States remains 10 hc seen. Some thing it will and some think it won't. while others are waiting to ba shown just how pleasant it is to take in bev- craze quantities.

 Druggists Wary
 some druggists, at least, are not enthusiastic over the action Of As sistant Secretary Andrews Of the 1 treasury In permitting manufacture and sale of the malt tonic. Tn the opinion of Theodore D. Watterstrom secretary of the Ohio Pharmaceuti- ca! association, it will threaten the professional standing of drug stores dispensing it and tend to break down regulations governing tha sale of tonics generally.
 The views of prohibition advo- Cates differ, but most of them ap- pear to be against the order. pr [.
