DR.. FOWLER HIT
AND PRAISED

DR.. William C. Fowler, District
health officer, is between two
fires-or, rather, two smokes.
Today a delegation from the
Merchants and Manufacturers AS
sociation, headed by James Coli
flower, president, and Edward
Shaw, secretary, called on Com
missioner George E. Allen and
protested that DR.. Fowler was too
strict in his enforcement of the
smoke nuisance law.
During the recent cold wave,
they said, it has been particularly
hard to avoid excess smoke and
the law should be literally admin
istered.
On the other hand, the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations Sat
urday night adopted a resolution
criticizing DR.. Fowler for not OBJ
tanning smoke law convictions.
Commissioner Allen asked the
Merchants and Manufacturers
delegates to return tomorrow at
II a. m. to present their complaint

In their communication to the

their disapproval, namely, that
because members of both depart

SIMPLE Drinks
CAN Be MADE
At TABLES
Fancier Connections, How
ever, Must Be Prepared Out
of Customers Sight

Drinkers who like to mix their
own whisky and soda soon will
have that privilege in Washing
ton hotels and restaurants, with
the licensing of many such estab-
lishments due by March /.
Under the regulations set up
by the District Commissioners,
"setups" may be taken directly to
customers seated at tables, and
simple drinks, such as hignballs
and gin bucks, may be mixed
right on the table.
There's Hitch to 1t
Not so, however, with the
fancier drinks. such as Martini,
Manhattans and the hundreds Of
other drinks which are coming
back to appease the appetite Of
the epicure.
For, the Commissioners have
decreed, drinks containing more
than one alcoholic beverage must
be mixed in a room other than
that in which they are to be con.
Sumed. There is no rule as to
how thick the partition separat-
ing the drinker and the mixer
must be-but it must not be
transparent.
Old-Time BarrOom Out
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West, who helped draft
the regulation, says it's purpose
is to insure against reappearance
of the old-time barroom. He said:
"We want to get away from
the saloon atmosphere. All
high grade hotels before pro.
hibitiOn had their drinks mixed
in one room and served in an.
other. Patrons of such estab-
Establishments then sat at tables
: and had their drinks brought
to them, just as they will under
the new regime"
The new regulation hits beer,
too. No longer may beer drinkers
rejoice in the sight of an old-time
bartender drawing mug Of
suds" and striking the foam from
the top of the stein. For, under
the regulations, no beer may be
drawn in sight of the customer.
