Mayor Key Speaks
To Demosthenians
On Li<pior Control
GovcrninentControlletlMono*
ply on Alcliolic Beverage*
Advocated l»v Atlantan
"Tho liquor traffic should bo a j
government rnnirnlltid monopoly,"
declared Mayor James L. Key of j
Atlanta, addressing the Demosthen-j
fan society nt an open meeting in j
the University chapel Wednesday
night.
"Take the liquor traffic out of
private business and its evils will J
practically disappear,” continued
Mayor Key. "Liquor carries vice
and crime along with which must be
policed and taken care of -let this
be tho function of the government.”
In justifying his stand on the sell
ing of beer and liquor even though
against state law. Key said: "Of
course liquor and beer stores are
illegal under the present statutes.
However, sometimes we run across
obsolete measures which cannot be I
enforced. We are forced to Ignore |
them for the best Interests of the
people."
Liquor Taxes
In discussing alcoholic beverages
as taxable goods, Mayor Key said
that "it Is an economic crime to
allow the bootlegger and other crim
inals to go untaxed, and allowing
Georgia to lose the revenues that
other states are deriving from liquor
taxes.” He called the liquor traffic
an unsolvable problem and expressed
the conviction that a government
controlled system whereby It should
lx 1 left up to each community to de
cide what Its liquor policy should
be is the nearest approach to a so
lution of the problem
In an Interview after the meeting.
Key told a Red and Black reporter
that the state of Georgia at a con
servative estimate would derive at
least four or live millions In taxes
annually.
Key Is Uroliibltiniiist
During Ills address. Key stressed
the fact that he himself was a pro
hibitionist by nature when he said,
"I was always a prohibitionist until
i. few v. iirs ago and voted the pro
hibit Ion ticket. 1 hove always tried
*ln temperance, and I be
lieve that what we have In Georgia
today Is very much against that. I
peal, and I am not going to stop
until we have repeal In Georgia.”
An overflow crowd which assem
bled to hear May Key’s nddress
forced the holding of the meeting In
the chapel instead of in llemosthen-
lan hall as originally planned. May
or Key was introduced by Aubrey
Evans. Rebecca, president of the
society.

Abit Nix Addresses
Phi Kappa Society
On Public Speaking
Bcnolvcd: That Japan's Far
Fast Policy Is Justifiable,
Is Debated by Society
“Unless you are going to be a
farmer or mechanic, you must know
the science of public speaking,” said
Abit Nix, Athens lawyer. In an ad
dress at Phi Kappa Literary society I
Wednesday night. "Regardless of
your occupation, you must he able
! to sell yourself and your subject
i matter to people.”
“To speak well, you must know !
all the fai^s and sell yourself on
them. Speak your words clearly,
round out your sentences, and con
nect your thoughts logically. This]
ability is acquired in the formative I
state of life,” continued Mr. Nix.
Far Fast Policy
.Inpan’s policy in the Far East was
condemned by Phi Kappa following
a debate on the question. Resolved:
That Japan’s Policy in the Far East
Is Justifiable. Shorter Rankin, At
lanta. and Carlos Gomez, Jackson
ville, upheld the affirmative, which I
was won over Chauncey Brooks, An
napolis, Md., and Eugene Lipscliitz,
Atlanta.
"If my opponents didn’t spend so
much time with the children of Mrs.
Rhodes’ ‘Kindergarten for cute Kid
dles,’ called the Coordinate college,
they would know more about the
subject,” said Shorter Rankin.
“Give Georgia Back”
"We took this country from the
Indians, the English, the French,
and the Spanish. We ought to give
Georgia hack,” continued Rankin.
“Why can’t Japan, crowded in a tiny
space, expand a little on land the
Chinese are not even using?”
“You ran not force wrong where
right should be.” pointed out Chaun
cey Brooks. “Chinese are starving
by thousands. How can they sup
port more population?”
“If Georgia were as densely pop
ulated as Japan, we would have
about thirty million people hero In
stead of throe million. The Japs
| are too crowded,” said Carlos Go
mez. “Japan should be allowed to
advance and progress. Japan has
henefltted the countries she has con
quered.”
"Japan has recently broken the
I Washington treaty. Why? Be-
i cause - she could not justify her pol-
! icy," thundered Eugene Lipscliitz.
"Japan was in the wrong when she
left the League of Nations.”

Echoes Will Roll From Coordinate Walls
As Boy-Friends Bellow Their Mating Calls
By Mary Lucy Herndon
Notice!
Dates, call your own dates (not
the Rgyptlan kind)!
The first sight that greeted the
eyes of the mttsculiqe contingent
dating at one of the Coordinate dor
mitories last week-end was the above
notice. It was written in glowing
white letters on a black board for
everybody to see. (Oh, shades of
Winnie Davis. Bradwell, Gilmer, and
Miller, to think it has come to this!
To think that all the old ghosts of
dignity, chivalry, and romance hid
den in the secret recesses have been
subjected to this. You may rue the
day of such an uncouth happening
with regret and bitter tears. Truly
from this time on it may be said
"Thy spacious halls, what tales they
could unfold of secrets written in
thy sacred scroll.")
On investigation of the stated case,
however, it was found that things
weren’t half as bad as they had
seemed at first sight. Perhaps the
shades of by-gone days really don’t
have so much over which to be out
raged after all. It seems that the
young lady in charge of calling
young swains’ dates had a sore throat
and, not wanting to further injure
this organ by shouting for belated
dates and reluctant to leave her own
date so often to call the co-eds, she
had the boys "call their own.”
One young man, more considerate
and original than the rest, chanced
upon the bright idea of protecting
still more the hostess’s throat by
posting an ultimatum to the effect
that dates were to call their own
dates. This, he thought, would keep
her from having to tell each new
arrival individually that he could
have the privilege of making his own
date understand that it was time
for her to arrive on the scene.
Y M C A Program Heard
Over WTFI Wednesday
The weekly program given by the
Y. M. C. A. was broadcast over ra
dio station WTFI Wednesday night.
Those on the program were: Bobby
Brooks, Lexington, song; Minnie
Cutler, Athens, violin; A. G. Foster,
Madison, piano; Waddy McGinty, At-
It must be admitted that, as a
whole, neither the boys nor girls
seemed to mind this unusual way of
carrying out a usual procedure. In
fact many of the males seemed to
take great delight in striding man
fully in, going to the foot of the
stairs, placing their feet apart, and
with their hands in their pockets,
roaring for their dates to “come
down, and make it snappy." And
(advice to young males) everyone
knows that co-eds just love cave
man tactics.
At the first occurrence of this
type of summons there was a sur
prised silence in the dormitory that
before had been alive with chatter
and telephone conversations. The
call "as if from a thousand tongues”
echoed and re-echoed in the dormi
tory hall. With the repetition of
the demand, however, the young
man’s date decided that she had bet
ter answer, and so she said timidly
in a wee-small voice that she was
coming—and the young man didn’t
have to wait on his date, either.
On several instances the young
men were a little timid or else their
courage failed them at the eleventh
hour for many hesitated to call their
girls. In cases of this kind, how
ever, another ambitious date of a
date agreed to call the timid date’s
date.
Several girls agreed that they
would like to have the practice con
tinued. One of the main reasons
for this desire was that, by recog
nizing her date’s voice when he call
ed. a girl might avoid many trying
situations caused by several of the
right boys arriving at the wrong
time—she could choose the one
whose voice she liked best. All of
which may be good in theory, but
the question is: Would it work in
practice? •
