reminds us-Ladies take a hint on the fem-
inine technique in the business from Babe
Kaufman. She raised stalwart sons and
built a wonderful business at the same
time and can give the distaff sides many
points.
Use of war stamps and recruiting post-
ers on or near machines is considered good
form today. Many civilian defense units
need operators to spread the gospel. They
also require help from the machine for
notices, etc. By contacting your neighbor-
hood sector warden, you'll help your com-
munity to help itself and your services will
be appreciated.

tin, Harry Weiss, Joe "Buster" Samson,

LOS ANGELES.-The California Suo
preme COurt has ruled that only hotels,
restaurants and cafes so conducting their
businesses that the serving of meals consti-
tute the principal part of the business may
strve intoxicating liquors and then only
incidental, thereto ,
, Rilling came when the Court denied the
Southern California Tavern Association's
petition for hearing in the case of Ham-
mond vs. McDonald. The Court defines a
bona fide restaurant in the following man-
ner:
"A restaurant which is kept and operated I
for the purpose of furnishing meals to the
public for service of intoxi'cating liquors
therein being merely incidental to that
tusiness, is what it purports to be, and is
therefore a bona fide restaurant, and may
as a casual an'd incidental part of its
business sell such liquors and allow their
consumvtion upon the premises, even with-
out meals. But where the principal busi-
ness of the restaurant becomes the sale
and service of intoxicating liquors, which
are consumed on the premises, with th ~
sale and service of meals the incidental
matter, or 'side line,' such place is no
longer a bona fide restaurant, but is to be
regarded as a public saloon or barroom
within the intent of the Constituti'o nal pro-
visions, and the sale 9f such liquors therein
lire prohibited."
