HIP FLASK BRIGADE.
N.S.W. MINISTER CONSIDERING. The question as to whether the Government will open a campaign against those who carry flasks of liquor in their hip pockets to dances is under review (says a Sydney paper). This is largely the outcome of the artists’ ball. The Crown Solicitor advised that prosecutions might be taken under the Theatres and Public Halls Act against persons taking liquor into such functions, provided such a charge could be supported by evidence. If, however, such evidence were secured. and a prosecution instituted, it would amount to a declaration of war against the carrying of liquor into any dance hall or any registered public hall at all. It is a problem which is not viewed with enthusiasm by the authorities, in view of the difficult issues involved.
