A canvass of twenty-two! large retail music houses in San Francisco, however, showed that sales in the last year of musical in- struments of all kinds were higher than in 1919, which hitherto was the banner year. Some of the merchants however, admitted there had been a falling off in’ phono-| graph sales. A few estimated thi: decling at 40 per cent, while others| said they noted only a slight drop in demand.

OO LIQUOR TRADE OF GASH, CLAIM Prohibition Is Obstacle: To Economic Strength | Says R. A: Keenan. Millions of dollars pouring out of) the United States daily for liquor is} proving a great obstacle to econo-| mic improvement in many sections of the country, according to Richard A. Keenan, Sheridan capitalist, who is spending a few days in Casper, and cties this opinion as one of the "reatest drawbacks to prohibition. | Mr. Keenan before the advent of prohibition was prominently identt- fied with the liquor interests in thi state, but now devotes his energies to the coal industry and other enter- prises, including the ofl business. | He has extensive oil interests in the Maverick Springs field of Fremont county, “Prohibition is an absolute fallure | as I look at it,” he dec’ared, “and has resulted not only in more drunk- ards, but an increase in crooks and dope users. I contend that ten million dollars a day 1s leaving the| country for liquor alone. It trickles put from every corner. No country! can stand such a drain upon its cash resources and in this may be found much of the cause for the financial stringency today. “No, the saloon 1s a bad thing,” he said in response to a query as to whether he favored the return of the saloon. “Liquor shoutd be sold, by the government through dispen- sarles to those who will and must have it.

Pesta Se ee ap Da ad Cabinet Crisis Is Raised In Belgium, Said BRUSSELS, Feb. 22.—Danger of a ministerial crisis has been averted at least temporarily by Premier Theunis’ speech in the chamber of deputies on the financial and econo- mic situation, his exposition making 4n excellent impression both in the parliament and throughout the coun- try. The premier declared that even if Germany had nothing more than reparation in kind, Belgium was in a position to meet all engagements from her own resources, It is expected the speech will have crises. foreigners. In support of his contentions, Mr. Keenan points to recent surveys of conditions in the United States, one in particular by Collier’s Weekly which shows the entire country to be 30 1-3 per cent wet.
