CE SUITS the conservative British workman : Fitted Up in Qarlisle Was ol Denki hich O Be Started--Tried Out on Navvies, N working its way through a maze of difficulty surrounding | liquor evils in munition-man- Britis ! Central Control Board has mad | many innovations, i The board is the State Commission charged with the administration of the new liquor- selling regulations designed to pre- vent drunkenness among munition and shipyard workers, Already in the areas under its control the num- ber of police court convictions has | been reduced by about. 40 per cent. The shortening the Bours of sale, the no-treating OfMéT, the drink-it- on-the-premises order, and the pro- hibition of cr>dit have achieved a considerable reform. In some cases, to wipe out undesirable conditions, the board has had to close up ppblie- houses, and in others to insist upon radical changes. Its reforming work has cleaned out many dives that were | % most distinct menace to the work- ers who patronized them. But the latest innovatjon by the board 8' the | creation of a State tavern in Carlisle, & model public-house. Carlisle is to be the site of some big munition Plants, At present 12,000. navvies have been imported to do the build- ing, and In course of time the factory. | Operatives will follow. It will be easier to alter the customs of the op- eratives, when they begin to estab- lish themselves in their new quarters, than it is to change the habits of the old-timers of Carlisle district, ana now that the "Gretna" tavern has been opened, two others are project- ed. Some years ago Mr. Joseph Chamberlain' tried to bring State i taverns into operation, and Earl Grey | worked on the same scheme, but it | | Was left to a war commission to up- | dertake real State business' in them, f Much interest is shown in Britain {in the scheme, for if Bueccessfyl, it | may pave the way for an extended | Government system, thus controlling the liquor evil as it can be control- led in no other way. The Gretna ta- vern is a converted post-office, and in both interior and exterior presénts a New type of publie-house. It is us {far removed from a Gothenburg Bo- | lag tavern or a German Bier Halle as | from a British public-house of the | Old sort. It is neither dingy, like the | pothouse, nor garish, like the new, Dor "'quaint,'! like the still newer fancy imitations of antique architée. | { ture, It is a solid stone building of | | dignified aspect, occupying a com- | | manding position in ga dignified | street, Inside the two principal | {rooms are a long open: bar, formed | out of the old selling counter nd a | large hall behind 'which iy the Sorting room. The latter serves the purpose admirably. There is counter at which various things wil | be sold, tables for meals and ino? refreshments, a stand for newspap- €rs, a piano, a gramophone, and sun- dry , conveniences. Adjoining is a well-equipped kitchen where all | kinds of meals can be cooked. There | are rooms for attendants and a -man- | ageress, but no sleeping accommoda- | tion. No one will sleep on the pre- | mises. The only alcoholic liquor, | | served will be beer. Customers must drink standing at the bar. In the | hall, beer will be brought to them at | the table. The idea is to encourage people to stop for rational recreation by making them comfortable, but not! for mere drinking. In the great ma- jority of the 94,000 public-houses inf | England, Wales, and Scotland, every | thing has been subordinate to doing | "business," selling as much liquor of { high alcoholic content as was pos | sible. ' The 'post office was converted to {ts new state in three weeks, and is {@ Dew stage in liquor control in the | | district. The munitions factory be- | | Ing erected near Carlisle was begun | last autumn. The preparation of the ground, the méking of roads and { rallroads, and the erection of hun- | jareds of buildings over an area nide | {miles in length brought many thou-T sands of workmen to the spot. They | [Bowed over the neighboring villages | and into Carlis(d itself, where some five thousand are accommodated in lodgings about the town. It was fore- Seen that the influx of so large a body of workmen, of whom have been gathered from Scotland, Ireland, and England, would cause difficulties. They have nothing to do in the evenings, and nowhere to 80 but to the public-house. - The local public-houses are equipped for & quiet, rural trade, and quite unfit to cope with a flood of laborers. So the board began to buy them all out, in number about 40. A few have been closed, the others are managed for the board. The "Gretna" experi- ment is therefore something new.

The Mayor's Office, Gananoque, August 14th-- (To the Editor): Kindly allow me sufficient of your valuable space to inform 'The Man on Wateh" that Kingston can teach Gananoque nothing about Red Cross work or about "clubbing Prussia." If he compares our contributions to {the Red Cross, the patriotic funds or the khaki-clad ranks, he will find we surpass' Kingston just as easily as our ball team surpassed the Kingston team last Saturday. Let me go farther and say that our Gananoque soldiers are real sol- diers and are at the frest or on their way: Our streets are not bedecked as Kingston's are with "too proud to fight" or *'too old to fight," or *too- much-needed at home to fight," of- ficers who are too busy at home fighting over some petty job to ever do any "clubbing of Prussia." We are proud and justly so of {what we have done for the Empire, and what we are still doing, yet we also believe in business as usual-- baseball business included.----Yours respectfully, FERGUS J.
