How the Night Is Spent. 2 “Are you dancing tonight?” no long- er means,are you going to spend the hours between. dinner time and mid- ‘night at a hall or club. +It means are you-going to Rector’s, to the Grafton i+ galleries or to Brett's, picking up your p-rty somewhere about midnight-and never thinking of going home until the milkman's horse has got his second wind and the pink finish of a London dawn colors the cold night mists Then, and not till then. does one turn homeward in a private car, if one has one, or a taxi, if one can get one, with perhaps a brief halt at the near- est coffee stall for a cup of muddy fiuid which tastes like nectar at that hour, but which, taken six hours later, would spr il one’s whole day. But such s night itfe in a hig city! 3 _ The night clubs of London are a peace product. They range from the ultra-exclusive ones of Bond street to the frankly democratic and even more §0 ones of Leicester square and Char- 1 < Cross road—cluhs to suit the taste and deplete the pockethook of every one. | ' Closing Hours Ten O’Clock. London has its closing hour, and that is ten o'clock. At none of the clibs or dance halls is any form of in- toxicating liquor sold openly, Ostensi- 8 bly one does it on pink lemonade and cider cup—unless one has a large hip pocket or knows the proprietor. Kvery place in London which dis- Jenses jazz music and French pastry during the wee sma' hours is-a “club.” I most of them membership. consists & nierely of filling in a form at the door. & Many, however, are sure enough clubs, where only members and their guests may dance. Of the former class, Rec- tor's, on Tattenham court road, is un- Gnestionably the mast popular. Need- less to say, it has an Ameriean orches- tra:-all the dance clubs have hands that are either American or good imi- ~ tations of American musicians. Rector's draws the theatrical crowd, folks from behind the footlights as well as those who have been to a “show” and are out to make a night of it.

Supplying Palestine With Water. From the average yearly rainfall of . 28 _Inches. enough water could be stored. up in Palestine to support a population of 15,000,000, according to James Halnes, secretary of the Zion- ist Soclety of Engineers, which is lay- ing- plans for a water supply system for the-Holy land as part of the restor- ation ' work 'necessary to make the land ready to receive the hundreds of thousands of Jews from all over the world who will emigrate there as soon as the political status of the country.is cleared up. . Allowing for a 50 per cent loss through evaporation and running off, Mr. Haines has figured that the yearly rainfall over the 20,000 square miles of Palestine will provide a future pop- ulation of 6,000,000 with a dafly per capita ‘supply-of 2,055 gallons. The average daily consumption in New York, at present is estimated at about 800 gallons per capita. Through With Honesty. “I'm never going to return a lost ar- ticle to 'any one again,” said a Knnul City man'the other day. “Why?” he was asked. “Well, this fellow advertised a re- ward for the return of his dog, and no questions asked. And then when I took the dog and went up.and rang the bell his wife answered the door.” GLASS OF SALTS CLEANS KIDNEYS If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers You, Drink Lots of Water ‘When your kldneys hurt and your back feels sore, don’t get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract.

Every race has a name, the Indian, the Chinese; the name of your people is the negro race.” “You say dat, doctor? You thinks dat? But us colored folks, we know der ain’t but one nigger—he’s de bud man.” “But that is the talk of ignorance,” |" argued the doctor. “Here is the mean- ing of the word negro in the diction- ary; don’t you see—a negro is a black man?’ “Did a white man make dis book, doctor?” asked the boy. “Yes.” “Well doctor, you know how it is ‘twixt white man and nigger. _You know if the white man made de book he glad ter writ it down dat de black man is a nigger..
