Young people ought to be taught to holiday sanely and save themaelzv- es a headache or a heartache the next day. And the booze is always bad on a big holiday. The ten thousand flasks in ten thousand hip pockets are in a class with concealed weapons. The holiday bottle of booze never misses ï¬re and always‘; hits someone. The curse of a public holiday is canned salmon sandwiches} immature fruit, ice cream, ice water from the car tank, cheap fares .and booze. The last two are the greatest. If there were cheap 'iares all year round, or even cheaper fares, so very many people would not be induced to crowd into not. unsanitary boats and trains, and risk and lose the happiness of one sweet day at home. The trouble is that people don't holiday rationally. They go too tar away from home for one thing; they get excited or overheated or chilled, as the case may be. They get lost. or lose someone else, and many of them eat too much and others drink .ar more than is good for them, who- ther it's beer, milk, iced tea or pop.
