Philadelphia.—Girls, if you have
leanings toward the bright lights, if
you like to step- out aod dance, and
! beat the milk man home by a nose; in
a word, if prohibition and all that ap
pertains thereto boros you to extinc
tion—don’t pike around with Mr. Av
erage Mac for an escort.
Make a piky for a dry agent. For
theirs is the life of Keilly, if testimony
in a federal court trial here means any
thing.
A federal dry agent blandly admit
ted on the witness stand that he and a
colleague devoted to the downing of
, liouor.and upkeep of the law, together
with two lady companions, put down
ten picts of champagne and brought in
I one as evidence during a hard night’s
| work gumshoeing a roadhouse here for
I liquor violations.
And, girls, expense is no object, for
Uncle Bam pays the checks. Accord
ing to the testimony of R, 15. Farlow,
the dry agent, it cost our Uncle Sam
$143 tastage this particular party and
collect the evidence against the defend
ant, the Green Hills Farms, a road
house. And the proprietor was acquit
ted of illegal liquor sales.
Rich—Did you know her back home?
Richer—No. She didn’t wear opera
gowns there.—Smart Set.
Whnt a fine world this would be if
people would spend as much energy
