PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. WEDNESDAY. MAT 5. 1937. FOR GAY GUZZLING Beer Stocks Laid In Hotels Add Supplies of Cham pagne, Wines Expects Two Nights of Gaiety Br ELMER W. PETERSON LONDON, May t.Lyp) London It readj to celebrate the coronation with foam and bubbles. Ho leaa than 360.000 extra barrels erf beer, by a conservative estimate, will be consumed before the corona tion Is over, and the leading hotels bare stocked up heavily with cham pagne, wines and llquers. The famous old toast of "Ood ssve the King" Is going to be drunk from one end of Lonown to the other, by dowagers, debutantes, workmen, sol dlers and even visitors from the South Bea Islands. Night Spots Catcn On. London night life undoubtedly will get a new boost by the coronation, and although the night spots took a, long time to catch on. they now are nothing to be sniffed at. The city's first "floor show" open ed In wsr days: It failed. A hotel tried It In 1931. For a long time the west end was littered with failures In the attempts to turn night Into day. It took American chorus girls to put over the "floor show" Idea, and they still work here In large num bers. The expected 3.000.000 coronation visitors will have at least two nights of extreme gslety. At midnight, May 11, as coronation asy begins, bedlam will bresk loose, with trumpets and horns blowing and everybody yelling. The night of May 13, after the king Is crowned, will top the extravaganza of letting the bars down. River parties on the Thames on large ocean and cruising liners and on private craft will give the fin ishing touch. River police, who res cue about 130 persons from drowning each year, aren't expecting to sleep much. Laws Interfere. Licensing laws for liquor will inter fere to a oertaln extent with the night spots. Drinks may be served In restaurants and cabarets only up to a oertaln hour ususlly midnight unless special permission haa been secured. But London hss got around that through the so-called "night clubs" or "bottle party clubs" where ehe word "club" Is taken more literally than In thst usage In America. Vis itors to those clubs must "Join" for a nominal fee usually about SI to 13 .AO. The visitor signs forms which per mit the club, aa sgent, to obtain liquor by tbe bottle from merchsnts. The bottles are labeled with the cus tomer's name, placed on the table as his property snd kept If necessary until the customer comes bsck a second or third time to finish off the contents. It all gives London a Just csuse to be celled gsy. She'll have a rose In her batr and confetti In her eyes at coronation time. Wallace Warns Of Farm Value Boom WASHINGTON, May 8.

The low-priced beautifully con-' toured Dictator has the world's strongest, safest, quietest steel body. Its exceptionally spacious interior is richly styled by Helen Dryden. Its big trunks are by far more capacious than those of any other six. It's the world's first six to offer the dual economy of the Fram oil cleaner and gas-saving automatic overdrive . , . the world's only six with non-slam doors.
