Dry Law Fails to Kill
Gaiety On U. S. Ships
Washington.—The liners jwhich the
United States Shipping Board is run
ning to Europe are booked up almost
solidly for three months ahead. Ship
ping agencies here Friday advised
prospective passengers to make imme
diate reservations if they hope to sail
before early fall.
One recalled with surprise the pre
diction that, with prohibition in force,
vessels (lying the American (lag would
sail empty o{-.‘passengers. It was de
clared that people would not patronize
steamships on board which they could
not get an occasional cocktail or some
other remedy for seasickness.
Sad pictures were painted of the big
and beautifully appointed lounges filled
in happier days with merry groups of
card players and family parties, drink
ing the wines of France or Italy, ^now
unoccupied, save by an occasional lone
ly passenger, sipping a glass of ice
water and playing solitaire.
It was all wrong. The liners are
crowded.
And, returned passengers report, the
smoking lounges are ,|ust as crowded as
they ever were. Merry groups sit
around the card tables sipping parti
colored liquids which, to taste and
smell, resemble the delightful but now
forbidden beverages of days gone by.
Instead of paying for champagne or
sherry or whatnot, as was once the
custom, the steward puts before the
customer a tiny slip of paper, a "chit,”
i.fco which he signs, his name. At the
end of the voyage all the "chits”
signed by each passenger are put to
gether and he pays the total iu one
lump sum.
At the office of the Shipping Board
it was said that no information on the
subject was immediately available.
