OUTSIDE LIQUOR LAW.

A POPULAR EXCURSION. British enterprise ha 3 provided the American business man with a new kind of holiday. Three former Atlantic liners have been acquired by a private company, and arc being user) exclusively for fiveday cruises from New York. The cost of the cruise is A!bO " nil found." 1 lie vessel merely steams round arid round outside what is known as the Volstead 15-miles limit and the 600 passengers can have as much genuine British liquor a.-, they choose—for which they have to pay, of course. There is no association with boot-legging in any form. On the fust of these health cruises for tired business men recently, the vessel went full speed- ahead until the 15-miles limit was reached. Meanwhile passengers walking the deck eagerly discussed the speed of the ship and with glances at their watches calculated tho time still to wait for zero hour. . . Suddenly a gong sounded. It wa3 the business men's call to the bar. For five whole day 3 afterwards they had the experience of a holiday on licensed premises. The new enterprise is already becoming tremendously popular, and it is understood that berths on the three liners have been booked until September.
