And Night Club Sucker Falls for Siren Song

quick gulp, pats the hand of her
host, and says:
81 need another drink, honey.
I want to get stewed tonight.
Won't that be nice?"
THIS procedure is kept up in
IL definitely. A hostess is will
ing to consume-for her percent
age from the management fifty
Of her stage drinks an hour, and
usually tries to. The sooner her
host passes out, the sooner she
can move on to fresh field.
Drinks are from 81 to $3.50. The
cover charge is from So to $40.
Then there is the cigaret girl.
She passes by every ten minutes
or so, and the hostess simply must
have cigarets-at 81 a package.
BY the next time the cigaret girl
arrives, the hostess has lost her
package cor given it to her sweetie
at the bar, or Surreptitiously re-
turned it to the management.
The orchestra is accommodating.
The leader is anxious to play only
request numbers-anda after he has
played one, the hostess whispers
that it's expected to give him SIS
or $40.
TN due time the hostess suggests
i a trip out to the bar-"it's so
coy out there"-and while having
another VolStead drink at 81,
she whispers conf1dentially that
she just has got over an operation
and can't pay her rent, or her
mother is dying, or her father is
reduced to his last pair of SuS-
penders, or all the other girls have
fur coats, and
She is not discouraged if turned
down. There are other ways.
, For instance, if there is a party
and one man pays the joint check,
another mans hostess whispers
that the waiter is upset because
the man who actually paid didn't,
and that she knows her man
wouldn't want any trouble. :.
Or she confides that the hostess,
who has been sitting with an
other member of the party, didn't
get any tip, the poor girl, you
know, has to work for a living. :.
TT is possible to escape from one
L one of these entertainment
places at less than 500 a head.
That is, if there is not 500 a head
in the party.
In one case a former football
player, now young business man,
was so ill-advised recently as to
display several 500 bills in one
of these Clubs"
Shortly afterward his waiter was
offensive. The ex-football player
liked nothing so much as the pros
pect of fight. He leaped to the
fray.
He woke up on the sidewalk, his
face smashed in, his watch and
money gone.
He didn't complain. He might
have lost his job.

President ELECT to Make
Supreme Effort to
Enforce Law.
INQUIRY TO BE ORDERED
Independent Commission to
Go Into All Phases of
Problem.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press STAFF Correspondent
lCOnVriPht 1929 hv TInited Preerl


WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Her-
bert Hoover, soon after his inauru-
ration, will sponsor a supreme at
tempt to enforce the prohibition
lava campaign in which new
legal weapons as well as education
will be used.
Hoover lately has given consider
able attention to the prohibition
problem, devoting much time to a
study of possible new measures for
Tightening enforcement, during the
long voyage from Rio De Janeiro to
Norfolk on the battleship Utah.
Among the suggestions considered,
it is learned, is to increase respon-
sibility and accountability of dry
administrators for major violations
III their territories, such as large
scale smuggling and diversions from
bonded warehouses. The general
suggestion embodies the idea of
criminal prosecutions for dry off,
GERS where negligence can be
proved.
AANAO0bAOn WIZ
In addition, Hoover is expected to
promote an educational campaign
for prohibition, such as those he
directed during the war for conser-
walton of food and relief programs.
He believes it might change the
attitude toward prohibition. Hoover
Is convinced, personally, that the
country is preponderantly dry. He
believes that prohibition of al
coholic liquors is wise.
The economic phases Of the
problem impress him. To him, the
beneficial effects he sees in prohi-
bition of alcoholic liquors, if that
cGn be achieved, are part and parcel
of that general prosperity and
prosperity and economic welfare
which will be the aim of his adj
ninistration.
He recognizes there are grave
abuses, as he has said New legal
measures and education will be
directed at these.
Meanwhile, he will seek to run
these abuses down, to find out just
what they are and how deel seated,
through an impartial invest ration.
The senate judiciary committee to-
day will begin consideration of q
resolution providing for an in
dependent commission to make an
investigation of prohibition. Hoover
will cooperate with this commits
sion in its inquiry, and is expected
to say so in his inaugural message
This commission might recon-
mend repeal of the eighteenth
amendment or modification of the
VolStead act.
Hoover Cabinet in Doubt
What course Hoover would take
IN that case is unknown.
Enthusiastically, he would give
it very careful thought. He will in
dictate no course of action until the
investigation is completed, mean
while taking steps to tighten en-
forcement, on the theory that the
majority of people of the country,
despite many outcries of discomfort,
want prohibition.
The President-elect today con-
tinued his conferences with officials,
his calling list including Senator
G1llett Rep., Mass.), G. Bascom
Slemp, campaign lieutenant; Resi-
dent Commissioner Davila of Porto
Rico, director lord of the budget bu-
reau; Representatives French,
Idaho; Hawley, oregon, Davenport,
New York, and Treadway, Massa-
chusetts, and Senators Vandenberg,
Michigan, and Thomas, Idaho.

PREDICTS Dull Time
Democratic Floor Leader
Sees LiStIess Session.

The 1929 general assembly, which
opened today, will be a "lifeless,
listleSs, uninteresting session." &C
cording to the forecast of Joseph M.
Cravens, Madison, veteran Demo-
cratic floor leader.
"The principal reason for the lack
of enthusiasm is the fact thai a
great deal of the work of the former
legislatures has been delegated to
boards and commissions. Election
of the United States senator by the
assembly and many other things
have been dropped" Cravens said.
Work of a great many of our
boards amounts really to legisla-
tion,' CravenS said.
He declined to predict the out
come of the Indiana city manager
law, which Indianapolis is seeking
to amend.

ALLITERATIVE AL is
HERE FOR CONTEST
Dust Off the Dictionary
and Win Yourself a
Prize-NoW.
BY ALLITERATIVE AL

Hello, folks. I'll be in Indianapo-
lis Friday, and I'll stay for several
days.
While I'm here, I'll give The In
dianapolis Times readers a contest
that they will remember for years
Yes, sir, a real contest, that will give
everybody fun and funds-laughs
and lucre.
Here is the dope-read it care
fully right now. Starting Friday
The Times readers will select one
news story, just any story in Fri
days edition, and write another
story not less than forty and not
more than 200 words long.
But the words of this story writ
ten must be alliterative. That is
every word must begin with the
same letter. It's not hard, because
you can have not more than four
nonalliterative words to every
twenty alliterative words. OF course
you may make all the words alli-
terative if you can.
AL Will Read EN- All
Then when you have written your
alliterative story, send it to Allitera-
tive Al at The Indianapolis Times.
And folks, I'll read every one of
the stories carefully. Not one will
be missed. The one with the most
humor, the most clever combina-
tons, and the one sticking to the
contest rules will be given the first
prize. And then I'll choose the
second best one.
Every day for at least ten days
there will be a new contest. That
gives you fifty chances to win a
prize.
Five daily prizes will be given.
First prize will be 50. Second
will be 81. The next three best alli-
terative stories will win a pair of
tickets each to the Apollo theater,
where 'Riley, the Cop" is showing,
starting Saturday. This picture stars
Farrell Macdonald and Louise Faz-
enda. It's Fox picture, comedy
drama of the best kind.
At the end of the contest, two
copies of Albert Edward Wiggam's
Exploring Your Mind With the
Psychologists" will be given for the
two best stories submitted during
the entire contest. This book, pub
liShed by BobbS- Merrill, will show
you show you get that way. It's a
best seller.
Here's Sample
Here is an example of an allitera-
tive story such as will be submitted
in this contest of mine:
wild wailing wanton winds whip
waits and weary widows without
wooden wrappers, wanting warmer
weather. But weather wizards
wouldn't waver when wheedled.
Wherefore worthy weeping widows
and woeful waits would welcome
wearableS worn by out by wealthy
women with which to ward off white
whitening wolf1Sh winter wretched-
ness"
That's the kind of stuff I want in
this Peter Piper contest.
An6 now here are the rules:
Your story must be at least forty
words long and not more than 200
words in length.
The nonalliterative words will
not be counted against you unless
an average of more than four are
used in each twenty words.
The Peter Piper piece must tell
a story, based on the news.
Dust off your dictionary and see
what you can dc.
