Brighton, England— English girls
have declared war on young motor
ing shieks, who invite girls to go
for a joy-ride in their automobiles.
Two young men were walking
along Marine Parade when a smart
little automobile, carrying two at
tractive girls, drew up alongside
them.
"Care for a spin in the country?"
asked the girl at the wheel, sweetly;
The invitation was accepted with
alacrity, and off the party speeded
until they were about 20 miles from
the town.
The automobile stopped, and one
of the girls asked the youths if they
would mind picking some flowers
for them
They did so. but when they were
about 20 yards away they heard the
engine start, and the girls drove off
at great speed, laughing heartily.
The two young men arrived home
at 2 p. nr. their only consolation be -
ing that scores of other similar
cases had occurred during the week

BAHAMA WHISKA EXPORTS"
TO US CONTINUE TO RISE
Nassau, Banama islands.—These
prosperous islands have increased
their whisky imports 10 per cent
during the first part of 1928.
Custom house figures show that
every man, woman and child In
the Bahamas would have the use
of three cases of hard liquor
monthly if all cf the incoming bot
tles stayed in the islands, which
they do not.
Despite the massing of Coast
Guard destroyers, cutters and sea
planes off the Florida coast, more
than $2,000,000 worth of whisky
was unloaded here during the first
six months of this year. Mean
while the export ngures have been
cut in half because of the growing
practice of transshipping liquors
to schooners and warehouses at
Grand Bahama and Bimini Is
lands.
