Liquor is far less plentiful than in New York and many other c ities. Washington doesn't boast, as far as fairly close 1 investigation would reveal, a single first class speakeasy. It does have a small number of places which resemble speakeasies, but they are neither popular nor of the type such cities as New York and Detroit support in numbers. Next to gin. there is an ample supply, apparently, of real or synthetic whisky, brandy and rum. Wine and beer, other than home brew, are almost unknown commodities, however, excepting at the embassies. The embassies can bring in liquor aS they see fit, and there are many stories of truckloads es Honor consigned to diplomatic' establishments coming into Washington. The general public, however, seldom gets anv of this, although most any bootlegger will te’l a. customer, if lie thinks the citatomer wants to be told, that what he is selling is right out of diplomatic channels. Virginia and Maryland, at times, contribute Considerable quantities
