Detroit Mayor Thinks Prohibition All Roses

1920

AN EXPERT OPINION

Mayor James Couzens of Detroit is quoted as saying:

"I have never been a teetotaler. I have voted wet. But if another election were held now I would vote dry. I believe Detroit would. Prohibition has been a revelation. It has upset all the alarmist predictions of the wets and more than sustained all the rosiest predictions of the drys."


SETTING A NEW FASHION

Roundabouter in San Diego Union: Since President Wilson was seen to drink his coffee with the spoon still in the cup while in San Diego last August, I understand that it is becoming quite a fad with San Diego society people.

—The Appleton Daily Post, Appleton, Wisconsin, January 7, 1920, page 8.
