(By United Press.)

A well dressed man would cause comment, suspicion, and maybe trouble. A half dozen teamsters from some ratlroad camp were lined up at the bar last night. In front of them stood a stocky, freshly shaved young alert but rather bored.

The cash register chimed inces- santly For the most part they drank beer, and drank it in sorrow. They were men of words not at all commensurate with the capacity for malt drinks. There was no evidences of good fellowship, jollity or any of the redeeming by-products of alcoholic conviviality. They treated each other indiscriminately, without previous acquaintance or desire for friendship, One hawkfaced man with a blonde mustache leaned on the end of the bar, drinking whisky with a taciturn intensity that bespoke a yearning to get drunk, He yegarded the rest of the crowd with an ime personality of view that testified to his progress. Next a noisy fellow came hurtling in the doors, with a gay, pugna- cious smile on his ps.

Soon the general average of sobriety became lower, Men well along in drink came in from other saloons, and others were achieving or hav- ing drunkenness thrust upon them where they started. Doleful chants broke out more frequently, to cease suddenly with the bartender’s curt, “Cut that out.” The violent bursts of profanity shocked no ears. Men jostled each other rudely without giving offense and drink To an onlooker it was a sad sight. There was not enough I#ughter; there was too much stolid sorrow. .They drank as men futilely try» ing to drown their sorrows; they drank as if they needed it, and not as if they enjoyed it. talk grew louder, It was give and take This is the impression one gets from an hour in Billy's Mug, most democratic cosmopolitan saloon.
