WHISKY SALES
FOR MEDICINE
AGAIN DELAYED
Numerous City Drug Stores
Stocked With Famous
Old Brands.

Red tape" again delayed the
start of sale Of medicinal whisky in
indianapolis today, although
number of drug stores have received
permits to sell, and have shelves
stocked with famous old brands.
The early bird" druggists. how
ever, expected to be able to make
their first sales next week.
Most of the whisky stocked here
is at least fourteen years old, dis
titled in prohibition days and
left to mellow III wooden barrels
until recent authorization to bottle
it,
Old-timers sighed as they COM
pared the prices of today's medi-
cinal Whistles with the same brands
back in prohibition days.
Brands now selling for from 1925
to $3.50 a pint were sold in the old
days as low as 90 cents a quart by
drug stores and $125 in saloons.
Old Stock to Be Sold
Their only solace is that where
the whisky sold them was not much
more than four years old, that
ready for sale now, in most cases
is at least fourteen years old, hav-
ing improved with age through
evaporation and mellowing in the
charred wooden barrels.
The evaporation, amounting to
about a gallon a year in fifty gal
Ion barrels, is given part Of the
credit for the higher prices.
Druggists who have received per-
mits quote prices ranging from as
low as 1925 to $3.50 a pint for
brands famous in the old days.
Brands which will be available at
the Stokes pharmacy, No. 2, COZ
-Mansur building, include
one, Gold Star, selling at 1925.
High Priced Brands Available
Two brands, Green River and Ole
McBriar will be sold for $3.50, anc
two others, Old Grandad and Ole
Taylor, are listed at $275.
Among the higher-priced brand!
stocked by the store are Vernon
Rye, Bourbon Deluxe and Recav
Rye at SO. Black Gold, at 1925, is
the most expensive quoted.
Stores Of the Haag Drug Com
pany will sell Green River, Cole
Star and Old Grandad brands
Shelves of the Fisher pharmacies
at 1850 and 5377 College avenue

Thrill Goes With Horses

The old chief pulled out a leather
wallet From it he took yellowed
clippings from the newspapers of a
quarter century ago. Like his gray
hair, they alone were the tell-tale
marks Of his approaching sixty
ninth birthday.
Most Of the romance of fire

with the horses. I've yet to meet the
person who was not thrilled at the
sight of fine team rushing hell
bent to the scene of fire. BY CAD,
sir. it was thrill to be fireman in
those days.
His eyes softened as he spoke of
the celebrated fire teams.
In the old days We had Dick and
Ned, spanking team of grays,
dragging hose wagon 10. Ned and
Terry, and later Tom and Jerry,
we're driven by John Meadows of
Engine House on Washington
street. They were fine outstanding
boys. And how they could make
time to fire!'
Ignored Practice Runs
Those horses were smart. too.
In these days we had test ticks,
practice calls, yknow Well, sir, those
horses got to know them. Dye think
they'd stir on a practice call? Not
on your life.
But Just let real alarm come
in and you'd see them rushing out of

Among the famous blazes Of the
past, the Surgical Institute fire in

Promens ding Is Popular
But the most popular form of rec
reation and relaxation is-just prem
enaoing. The Russian tradition of
promenades has survived all the
changes and upheavals of the past fiji
teen years, it's slow and stately
rhythm and tempo furnishing a
striking contrast to the fast-beat-
ing pulse of economic and social life.
The promenade has nothing in COM
mon with the American walk"
Taking walk in the U. S. means
rushing from one point to another
With no particular object in view
and no particular reason for hurry
ing. The Russian promenade is
ceremonial, collective function, as
it were. Is is always one-way traffic
and always at the slow pace Of
professional. On the same allev one
procession moves one way while On
the opposite side another procession
moves in counter stream.
Outings to the Country.
The parks. boulsvards and play
grounds within the city do not by
any means exhaust the recreation
facilities of the Moscow workers.
Within a half hour to an hours ride
in anv direction from the center you
will find delightful country places
with facilities for bathing, rowing
and picnicking. Tens of thousands
Of Moscow's population avail them
selves of such outings--traveling by
trolley, bus. railway or river boat.
Group outings arranged by organize
items for their members are quite
common. Discussions Of special sub
jscts generallv enter in the program
of the day which is however, devoted
mainly to recreation and amusement.
Dotting the vacation areas around
Moscow are many Rest Homes where
workers spend their summer vacation
(f1om two to four weeks. free Of
charge and with full pay. In
the vicinity you will find special rest
homes fer children and Pioneer
Camps. As likely as not, Red Army
Camp will be situated within walk
ing diEtance from a Rest Homo Of
Pioneer Camp, and the splendid So
cial relationship and intercourse be-
tween the military and the "civi-
liam" summer places are in them
selves a source of admiration and
inspiration.
