DRY ENFORCEMENT
GAIN IS PREDICTED
WoodCock and Doran Opt
miStic-Former Cites I'M
proved Personnel.

Prohibition Director woodcock's New
Year prediction Is that 1891 will see
a gradually improving enforcement of
the dry law.
An optimistic view at the years end
also was taken by DR.. James M. Doran,
commissioner Of industrial alcohol. He
announced that the new non-poisonous
denaturant, alcotate, had been dis
tributed to alcohol distillers throughout
the country and would be mixed with
their product beginning January 2.
Woodcock summed up his views on
enforcement in one brief paragraph. He
dictated the following
Last July we started with the idea
OF making the commercial vtolator the
immediate objective. We believe that
is the correct policy. We believe our
force of agents has become more eff
cient through systematic training.
We propose to continue along these
lines. improvement in enforcement will
follow improvement in the training of
our force"
Although enthusiastic over the pro-
Spective success to follow the introduce
ton of alcotate to the industrial al
cohol world, DR.. Doran said he was
still concerned over some terrible
deaths from methanol" in recent weeks
This Is an extremely poisonous al
coholc liquid, not under Government
supervision, and therefore not required
to use the new non-poisonous dena-
turant. 1t is often employed as an
anti-freeze solution for automobiles.

ALL EUROPE IS GAY
ON NEW YEAR EVE
Germans Eat Fatted Carp;
italians Rouse SIumberers;
Scotch Have Hogmanay.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, January Europe
stepped blithely into the new year to-
day, forgetting for the nonce the ma
tional disasters, cabinet crises, economic
woes and sundry other burdens of mis-
fortune which made a nuisance Of 1880.
From London, where the majestic
tones of Big Ben above the Parliament
buildings tolled the hour of midnight,
to remote hamlets where the whistles
of traWlers or the gayety of villagers
bore tidings that a new leaf was
turned, the countries of the old world
frolicked
In the capital of the British Empire
lords and ladies roamed the streets
alongside 'arries and 'arriets, drinking,
laughing and making merry in general,
while the same spirit reigned every
where under the union jack.
Germans dined on fatted carp, the
traditional New Year platter decora-
beer and munching Berliner Ppfann-
kuchen-a sort of doughnut which
guarantees wakefulnesS-in between
times. Few stirred abroad with top
hats, for old German custom DEGREES
that a silk headpiece is legitimate
game on New Year eve.
All over Italy sounded the carefree
laughter of the Latin on holiday, and
in Florence bands of rowing roisterers
took their pleasure by waking those
who prosaically sought to sleep as the
new year dawned They have a prov
erb, Whoever sleeps on New Year eve
sleeps all the year." and with this as
warrant they reused those who pre-
ferred to snooze.
In Scotland the townsmen, the high
landers and the lowlanders had their
own brand of fun with Hogmanay, for
by such is New Year eve known to
them. 1t Is the night of nights to
the Scots, with songs, dancing, feasting,
drinking and midnight revelry in gen.
eral.
The carouSing Of bygone years was
diminished somewhat, however, perhaps
because whisky Is IL shillin's saxpence
bottle. There was a time when the
dawn of the new year found the his
torical Royal Mile of Edinburgh-from
the citadel in the east to the palace In
the west-a mass Of broken glass. The
jubilant Scots had a custom of drain
ing the last drop from a bottle at the
stroke OF midnight, then throwing it
high and letting 1t Shatter to the paw
ing. Now they catch the bottles COM
ing down-when they are throWn-and
sell them next day for a penny.
In Madrid the frolickers filled Puerta
Del Sol, the Times Square OF the city,
and reveled in "fiestas" wherever they
could get together.
Nearly everywhere else in Europe the
same spirit ruled, with each country
celebrating in its own picturesque way.
