hootch and all bootleggers who persist
emily poster honest citizens in their
offices.
No Congressional Cooperation
Congress, so often insensitive to
popular sentiment, hasn't done much
to aid in this work. This inaction
may or may not be because congress-
men drink anything and are incensed
at the suggestion that what's good
enough for them isn't good enough
for anyone else.
And, somehow, the average citizen
who reported a bad bootlegger to the
police also failed to obtain satisfacA
tory action.
But now the church organization
which means business and expects to
get 10000 members, is on the job and
better days may be expected.
There is, of course, little desire to
cast aspersions at the honest and re-
liable bootleggers of the town. There
are some Of these. The trouble is that
the business is overrun by amateurs
who firmly believe that pint of
peroxide, pint of listerine and a
little prune juice make a quart of
whisky. That supposition is COM
plete fallacy.
Women BOOtleggers In Capital

month or more to acquire a reliable

Of the most reliable members in high
standing of the Washington industry
are women. Some of them can carry
more bottles under their capes and
cloaks than the ordinary man could
pile into a ten-ton truck. And some
of them have very pretty assistants
to make their deliveries. Most of
these women, incidentally, are Wild
ows who preferred this profitable
means of livelihood to entering the
service of a five-and-ten cent store
They seem to specialize on synthetic
gin and Bacardi rum.
And in further tribute to these
women, it should be said that they
don't pour like locusts into a mans
office to seek business. The males of
the species are more annoying than
insurance agents-and seemingly more
numerous.
The sales talk of the fraternity is
something terrific. The first step is

Pursuing my late occupation;
Heard many a fierce oratorical fray,
And many labored oration.
