IN NEW YORK

New York, March 22.-The whole
sale price of whiskey has advanced
sharply since the signing of the Jones
act by President Coolidge. The in
creases have ranged from $50 to $40
q case and many small speakeasies
have gone out of business. !
Four night clubs, in sudden panic,
have abandoned the sale of liquor and
deliveries to speakeasies have been
curtailed to the extent that the supply
is most uncertain. Grain alcohol has
doubled in price, the quotation today
being $14 a gallon wholesale.
Most of the night clubs cannot
afford to 60 on doing business with
out selling liquor at top prices land

afraid to continue the practice now.
The problem Of hiring men will
Ing to take the rap has become
harder. Before the passage of the
Jones act, with a chance for q fine
or q light jail term, plenty Of help
for deliveries or tending bar could be
had for the asking. Now the "heavy
labor wants plenty Of money to take
the chance on five years, $4,000 fine
for first offenders.
The delivery system is hit hard.
Prices for delivery were reported to
be as S. a case and up, big in
crease over pre-Jones quotations.
Wages in every part Of the racket are
said to have gone sky-high; individual
bootleggers, to make up for it, are
showing out smaller glasses and
charging more. SpeakeaSies and night
clubs have been forced to raise their
"antes" to police and federal agents.

goes to jail for five years watch the
prices sail.
The following prices were quoted
to me by q lawyer who has friend

The federal agents will 20 on as
before, OF course, and no crusade

One Of the youngest tennis
pros in the country is the
young man who presides over
the racquet activities of the
Columbia Country Club. The
young man is none other than
Jimmie Mitchell, just turned
%.
Prior to assuming his duties as
the professional at the Columbia
Club young Mitchell had spent two
years as assistant to Otto Glockser
at the Chevy Chase Club. It was.
under Glocker that Mitchell learned
the rudiments of his trade, and
that he learned them well is
evidenced by the satisfaction OF his
services at his new home.
A most personable young man
with enthusiasm and love OF MS
work is Mitchell Besides this he
has the knack Of being able 10
inpart his welI-founded knowledge
Of the game, despite his youth, to

fessionai is to the tennis player.
although it is only In the last
few years that tennis prOtes-
siOnaIs have received any

The growing popularity of the
game and the fact that Vincent
Richards abandoned the amateur
ranks to become a pro virtually
opened the field in this line OF
endeavor.

While Jimmie is a long way from
being a star of the first water he
is a rattling good player and his
game has improved greatly since he
made the switch.
In fact, his game is still inn
proving. 1t will be interesting
to observe his progress i'm the
national pro tourney. which
probably will be beld in Phila-
Ilelphia this year late i'm August.
Although Jimmy modestly admits
that he doesn't expect to get far in
the tourney among the more than
so pros who will compete, it's a
pretty safe bet that he'll pick up
plenty of pointers and tricks from
/ them. He's that kind OF lad.
Never misses trick.
Meanwhile the tennis players at

SALOON FOR WOMEN
 BANNED ALL MALES
Old German Tavern Recalled by
 Precautionary Exercises

Augsburg. Germany, Nov. 22 LPl- That saloon for women only exist cd as far back as three centuries ago IS recalled by the tercentenary eXer- cises held here in the historic tavern, Tn Wives school"
 The tavern derives it's name from the fact that the wives of the butcn- CTS belonging to the Augsburg meat marketmen's guild met here an1 conducted what the men derisively called "school."
 That is. they gossipped as it is as- stunned school children will gossip. That in itself would probably not have made the men so sore. What they particularly dislillcd was that the women tolerated no mere male at this tavern, It was run by and for women.
 The favorite drink of the butchers wives was red wine that they named lambs blood"
 Although 300 years old, the tavern did not always have the name of Wives school" From 1929 to 1851 it was known as "The Golden ABC," so named because the butchers wives would begin with the first letter Of the alphabet and gossip about every fellow citizen till "Z'' had been reached.
 In those days it was beer saloon. With the change to wine tavern in 1851 also came the change of name.
 Most of the butchers wives helped hct hall near by.

by the amount one permits the pedal to rise.
 Not only are the brakes thus semi-automatic. but Dr. Liungstrom claims they are much more effici- ent than the four wheel equipment in ordinary use. Here again he has brought a new technical principle into play.
 The new transmission would cost no more on a production basis than the usual combination of clutch and gears, it's inventor says. It is simple in construction, but in- wolves principles beyond the com prehension Of any but a technician. In Dr. Ljungstrom words
 How to Reverse
 "The 'Spontan' transmission sys- tenn is based upon the principle of maximum fleXibilty in the connec- ton between the engine and pro- peller shaft. This flexibility is ob- tained by the action of rotary bob weights, the centrifugal forces of v ''iCih tAl ' hotd tp U dDSIllIL lIt' power, This explains the fact that at low engine speed, with cores pondingly low centrifugal force, the engine is in effect free from the drive and that even at the highest speeds ample flexibility remains to enable instantaneous and smooth speed and power ration adjust ments to take place between the engine and propeller shaft.
 Reversing the car is accomplish ed by lifting the foot pedal slightly by means of a stirrup. This re- verses the action of two roller clutches which are part of the transmission mechanism.
 The new devices have been thoroughly tested on taXicabs in Stockholm for three years and hay, Withstood hard usage perfectly, ac- cordlnG 10 the inventor.
 Dr. Ljungstrom, known through out Europe for his many inventions began his career on the technica, staff of Alfred Nobel, famous as tn, inventor of explosives and founder of the Nobel Institute.

NEW TRANSMISSION
 ELIMINATES GEARS
Swedish Device Combines Foot
 Pedal With Brake

New York, Nov. @ UP) - A new automatic automobile trans mission eliminating all gears, and combining in one foot pedal the funCtons of brake, clutch and aC- celerator levers has been developed by a Swedish engineer, Dr. Fredrik ljungstrom, the United States learned today.
 The inventor not only brought an entirely new principle into use, but he has perfected the mechanism so that it works, as he demonstrated 10 q United Press correspondent.
 To operate a car equipped with the new device, one has simply to press the one pedal on the floor board. The first inch or so of this motion releases the brakes. which are automatically applied when the foot is raised off the pedal. After that it is a simple matter of 'giv- ing her the gas;" the Spontan transmission. as it is called, takes care of the rest.
 There is none of the usual gear shifting. none of the usual noise attendant on a. fast getaway in low speed. The automatic transmission pl loportions thc power according 10 the resistance 10 the cars mo- ton. If there were gears. it would be as if one started with ratio O. about 1000 to 1 and gradually brought that down until at a speed of about 15 miles an hour on level going or at a direct drive from the engine, comparable to high" in the ordinary automobile.
 Regulation of Brakes
 The combination of the brakes with the accelerator gives an effect like that of the dead mans handle" on a trolley car. Instead of pressure of the foot applying the brakes and springs releasing them, Dr. Ljungstom has reversed this procedure. If one takes ones foot completely off the single pedal, the engine is immediately throttled down and at the same time the brakes come on with full force One regulates the braking simply
