Chicago, Ill.
My Dear Mr. Short:
l have been very much interested in
your letter of July 7. which is just re-
ceived. | am very glad to tell you
frankly my opinion regarding the Eight
zenith Amendment. | believe it was a
right and necessary action and that its
beneficial effects have been immeasur-
able. As I go about the country | do not
observe at all the volume of non-enforce-
ment and dsobedience of which we hear
so much and | think that most of this
talk is the propaganda of the wet inter
ests. | have been travelling over Amer
lea for nearly forty years and there is
simply no comparison whatever between
conditions today and conditions prior TO
the adoption OF the Eighteenth Amend
ment / believe that these laws are en-
forced about as we'll as our other laws
aid better than some other laws and
think we should stand immovably against
any tampering with the amendment or
any relaxation of the stringency of the
laws passed for its enforcement
Only today I saw paragraph in one
OF the religious papers giving the testi-
mony OF Mr.. ]. Horace Mcfarland and
] think that the witness that he offers
here is true.
In grateful appreciation OF your kind
letter and its reference to the General
Assembly. | am
Very cordially yours

Where Is the Booze?


Extract from the Gospel OF Liberty
So much loose talk is going on about
the amount OF booze being sold and how
easy it is to secure it that it would be
we'll for lovers of prohibition everywhere
to challenge these gossipers with de-
mand that they prove their statement To
read some of the wet papers, one would
naturally suppose that drink was rum
ming free everywhere Just as in the good
old saloon days, and that it is no trout
bic whatever to get plenty OF it. But
even the man who lives in the wettest of
our cities knows that this is not true.
He cannot get booze without going to
some risk and inconvenience and making
a criminal of hmeslf with the uneasy feel
ing OF the criminal that the hand of the
law may at any moment be laid upon his
shoulder and the unsavory disgrace of
being linked up with the hoodlum boot
leggers of the commonest and lowest ilk,
almost any one of whom would not stop
at murder to get his liquor across.
But even then it is not half as easy as
the gossipers make out to get booze,
nor is booze half as plentiful as the vets
try to make us believe. Mr.. ]. Horace
Mcfarland, of Harrisburg, master
printer, recently travelled nearly four
thousand miles through the south, includ-
ing many Florida resorts. He declares
that in the fourteen day tour there was
hardly sign of alcohol visible, audible or
oliactory-although he was looking, lis
tening and smelling for them. The New
York Christian Advocate quotes him as
saying:
In Palm Beach I did get some booze
contacts, for it was suggested in the
Palm room of the Royal Poinciana by
my host, local man, that could have a
cocktail if l wanted it, although he did
not want it, and there was no evidence of
liquor in that beautiful dining room. In
the Miami Biltmore Hotel there was ev-

A new musical instrument, known
as the banjo harp, is to be in
troduced to the radio world tonight
when the Paramount Banjo Boys
broadcast from WOR at p. m.
This instrument is made entirely
Of wood, with special interior con-
struction and arched sound boards
of selected comb spruce, much like
a regular tenor banjo. 1t has no
metal parts nor heavy rim, however,
and is light, weighing only three
and a half pounds. It's tone is
claimed to be more accurately COM

instrument.

The Stomp, according to Wayburn,

by southern Negro dancing to the
blues" 1t is much like the Charles
ton. Leg movements are similar,
but the feet are brought down flat,
the toe and heel simultaneously.
Give 1t "Ha-Ha" Here
Local dancing teachers are less
enthusiastic than Wayburn. In fact,
they are inclined to give this
Savannah Stomp a decided ha-ha,
and a cold shoulder in the bargain.
Indianapolis folks are not con-
sentative about learning new
dances" Louis Stockman of the
Stockman Dance Studio observes
"but there's no evidence that this
stomp thing-reputed to be the
noisiest dance ever conceived, will
attract any interest here. The
Polly Hop and the low-down are
most locally popular right now"
In answer to Wayburn's con-
tention that the Savannah Stomp
has it "all over" the Charleston and
Black Bottom for grace, r. L.
Sullivan. another local dance master
demurred "Well, I shouldn't think
the word grace is exactly the one
to use in this connection. In fact, in
all these fanciful new dances, life
and action, not grace, are stressed.
In fact, the Tapico Tap-a very
late thing, and getting popular here,
is about the only dance of a very
lively persuasion that Is really
graceful. The Savannah Stomp may
become popular-there' no evidence
yet"
Indiana Hop"
II think this Savannah stomp
as told Of by Ned Wayburn, is what
we here call the Indiana Hope"
says Miss Berry of the Berry Dance
Studio. TITS a lively dance-yes,
and it's noisy, but it's really good
looking. It's supplanted the st.
Louis and some of the other dances
that were taking the young folks by
storm a short while ago. This
Savannah Stomp or Indiana Hop
has been danced locally only a short
while. Yes. it may make the
Charleston and the Black Bottom
fade out Of memory. It's too early
to tell yet"
