MR. PUSSYFOOT" JOHNSÓN SEES THE JOKE

Mr. W. E. Pussyfoot) Johnson is a cheerful soul. For a man conducting a world crusade against alcoholism, he keeps in wonderfully good humour.

Interviewed in London, Mr. Johnson talked Prohibition with a wide smile on his round, pleasant face,

There's a whole lot of loose, wild, irresponsible talk about Prohibition." he was saying almost gleefully. "I the hall of it were true we wouldn't have Pro- hibition for six months longer: I'd go out stopping it myself

"On December 30th, inst year I read a half-column cable from New York in the Paris edition of an American news paper, stating that there were 3,000 cases of appendicitis treated in the hospitals of one State in eleven months of 1993,

ons of which cues was caused by liquor and 3,300 of them, the cable said, were fatal.**

Mr. Johnson shook with laughter. "Well, say!" he added presently, "They

might just as well have snid 3,000 casca of ingrowing toe-natal X one ever heard of liquor of any kind causing appendicitis. These things appear in American papers as burlesques.'
