THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, JULY 3, on stools at a low counter. evidence that John L. Lewis and the growing passion for wearing shorts have not destroyed all basic Ameri- can traditions. The national lunch-counter habit survives and makes new conquests on every hand. Mark Twain, in one of his early travel books, now almost seventy years ago, drew a poignant contrast between American railway passengers wolfing food at the depot lunch counter in ten minutes and civilized Europeans dining comfortably at the railroad res- taurant in half an hour. We have made great pro- gress since then in dietaries and table manners, but the drug-store counter today attests how deep-rooted is the national passion for eating on a stool instead of a chair And it hard-drink Daily Alaska Empire - - Editor and Manager ROBERT W.

The commonly known as a bar has annexed to itself a row of stools for patrons to perch on. The old brass rail is still there, but it is largely a historic gesture, like King George getting permission from the Lord Mayor to cross Temple Bar. It is the ladies who are responsible for people sitting at saloon bars instead of standing up. Qualified philosophers in this field may argue that the eclipse of the brass rail by the row of padded stools is revolution. If so it is revolution within the American tradition bar has only been transformed into a counter is not counter Office, 602: Business Office, 374, MEMBER OF The Associat republication of all otherwise credites published he ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION SSOCIATED PRESS ively entitled to the use for credited to it or not this paper and also the local news the slogan of Light Wines and Beer, but not correctly forecasting the future.
