pear from l'aris streets during the
past week. Hitter cold weather was
responsible. It was no a question
of style, but one of comfort, which
brought out neat gaiters, over well
cut shoes and heavy woolen stockings
to replace the flimsy silk creations
as ankle protectors.
Tho following paragraph, printed
ill one of the lending stylo periodicals
at the beginning of tho cold wave
over the signature of one of the most
renowned doctors of l'nris, is said
by the ftnile to have been responsible
for the unprecedented run ou gaiters
and woolen stockings. It read: "It
is really wise to dress warmly, for
it keeps the circulation right ami
helps save one from a red nose and
that pinched, blue look about the

LIQUOR TftXATlON
BR1SATTEI1I1:
i
niUMINHHAM, Ala Jan. ft. I A.
p.) During the lifetime of the
present Conservative government
the question of tho heavy bur
dens of taxation borne by the
liquor trade will receive the clos
est attention of tho cabinet, ac
cording to Colonial Secretary L.
S. Amery. '
The secretary told a iceent
meeting of the wine and tplrit
merchants theirs was li licensing
trade because it dealt "with a
commodity which when taken In
moderation was harmless and en
joyable, and to that extent bono
ficial, but when taken in exnejs
was undoubtedly the cause of a
good deal of ill health, misery,
suffering and many social evils."
"The government could not,"
the speaker continued, "deal with
these great problems in the jcruds
and rudimentary fashion advo
cated by a certain type of mind
by sweeping away the trade al
together, or it that could not be
done by harassing the members
of it and making their lives mis
erable. The experience of the
United States has shown that
even if Great Britain could 'rise
to the pitch' of a national de
cree abolishing the production of
alcoholic liquor. It would not
solve the problems."
Such, a decree might doprive
"millions of sober minded people
of refreshments which had done
them' no harm in the past and of
which there :as ' no reason to
deprive them," the secretary said,
adding that it "would not prevent
real intemperance as tho Ameri
can experience has shown."
Concluding Mr. Amery said that
to indulge in v liquor in modera
tion when it was allowed by the
laws of the -country "was a per
fectly natural, moral and temper
ate action," hut to Indulge in al
cohol even in moderation against
the laws of the country, and
thereby inducing large numbers
of people to earn their livelihood
by lawbreaking was "intrinsically
a worse form of Intemperance
than drinking In a country where
the law allows intoxicants to be
drunk."
Mr. (Amery declared he did not
believe that that kind of legis
lation "whether carried out na
tionwide, as in tho United States,
or by patchwork involving various
schemes of local option, would
make for the good or the pro
motion of real temperance."

The cross -word craze is sweeping
the country, with little indication that
its populariM "is waning. There is a
man in South America, I'aul Meievx.
who is Raid to be working on a cross
word puixle, declared to be the lar
geNt in the world, according to
Thorn ns I,. AIuhpoii, writing in ftio
learbnrn Independent. This puzzle
was made by an Englishman. It is
fivp foot smiarc, made on parchment.
Kach Htpiarc is three-fourths of an j
inch on each side.
Puzzle Not New.
The pitazle is not new, Mr. Mas
son declares. In this country as fur
back as the seventies, cross-word j
puzzles appeared in St. Nicholas reg
ularly. The "present revival of tho
piiKzcl is due to two young men in ,
New York, Simon and Schuster, who j
decided to 'go, into the publishing i
business. One day, after they had
started, Mr. Simon was called to the
house of a friend and asked to bring
along a cross-word purelc for enter
tainment. Vp to that time he had no
idea of cross-words. lie recalled that
he had seen cross-word puzzles in the
New York World; it come to him that
F. I. A. of The World had referred to
them in his column. Suddenly the idea
ftruetf his thut here was a chance to
publish n book. 1
Many On Hand.
After consulting the puzzle editor
of The World, it was found that more
flmn l."MM) erossword puzzles were
on hand. They started publishing
thein. One week, the paper left tho
puzzles out, and tb,ey Rt t"howls'
liy the hundreds from the cross-word
fans. Then tho puzzle books, came out.
The edition went into the .'100.000
class, and iu one day more, than 5.',
000 copies were sold. In New York
there is only one paper of any stand
ing. The Times, which does not issue
cross-word puzzles daily.
The puzzle got its starMn (.Jreece.
where great statesman sd it to re
lax their minds. Itobert Iansing :s
declared to be a cross-word pur-zlo
fnn.- tMhers ore Mary Robert Hino
hart, Kathleen Norris, Galett IJur
gess (who has invented a number of
cross-word puzzles), Admiral Sims,
Cyrif Maude, tfic actor, and Neysa
MeMein .
Started From Anagram.
The puzzle got its start from th-;
anagram, which is as old as the hills.
Socrates delighted in anagrams, and
used them as a diversion from the dis
comforts of his wife's presence, an
cient gossip says. Shakespeare's Fui
staff attacked nncient anngrnms. Tho
skeptic and intellectual of his time,
Pieere Hayle (1047-1700), pronounc
ed all anagrummatists- as wnn-ng in
taste and judgment. The Hebrews
classed anagrams as cabalistic. They
were common in Kgypt and both I'tol-
omneus, IMiiladelphus and his queen
Arsinoe had their names made in
cross-word puzzles.
'It is undoubtedly good practice,
says Mr. Masson. "to be able to use
our brains once more, when there was
every indication that brains were be
coining obsolete no wonder we are
excited ubout such an innovation
