NIGHT LIFE
RAIDS

Night life in Washington faces
new test of its staying powers if
the prohibition "nndercover men"
who have joited Broadway's Texas
Guinan and Helen Morgan, start to
work IN real earnest here among
the Capitals dancing and dining
clubs.
Following the order for the pad
locking of lie Paradis, there are
persistent reports that DR.. James
Doran. Prohibition Commissioners
and Mrs. Mabel Walker Willie.
brandt, Assistant, Attorney General,
are planning to cooperate in
grand frontal attck upon the
demon rum in Washington.

are said to be slated for the Wash
ington assignment with an expense
account which viii not be so large
rs the $4,000 used in obtaining
evidence on Broadway, but decidedly
generous for the end in view.
The prohibition enforcement Off
cials are not daunted by the attacks
made upon them by Representative
F. III. LaGuardia and others be-
cause of the undercover system and
the large sums of Federal money
spent in obtaining evidence. They
propose to continue the system.
although they are not announcing
any of their future plans
They are mum about reported
plans for drying up Washington.
In the meantime the Meyer.
Davis group which operates lie
Paradis is planning to put up .
long battle in the courts against
the paddock order recently signed
by Justice Hatfield. of the District
Supreme Court. masmuch as the
cafe itself ID not accused of serving
liquor, but only OF furnishing the
ginger ale and ice as ''set up"
for the liquor which patrons are
alleged to have brought into the
place, its chances of winning out
on appeal are said to be excellent.

one OF the .'very best indicators

Humphreys says, is the state OF
the dew in the morning 1t gathers
on grass and other exposed objects
when they are cool enough to con.
dense it out OF the air. just as
moisture is condensed out of the
air on the side of q pitcher when
filled with ice water.
Now, the grass and other out
doors things cool considerably only
on still, clear nights, the kind that
occur during spell OF line WeaLneF
and at no other time.
Hence a heavy dew means that
the air was still and the sky clear.

Consequently DIR. Humphreys says
there is much reason back of the
following:
When the grass Is dry at morning light
Look for rain before the night.
when the dew is the grass
Rain will never come to pass.
