Show a sugar jag. "When a cargo of BUgar reaches port, tho hatches nro always lifted and the hold aired two hours before the stevedores aro allowed to enter," said a W. C. T. U. woman. "This is right," she went on sternly. "Otherwise "Other-wise these men would get on a jag, a sugar jag. The air of the hold, filled with the gases rising from' tho sugar, .would glaze their eyes, cause them to stagger, cause them to sing and shout, to want to fight, to sraoko and to make love. I have seen stevedores, riotously riotous-ly unloading a cargo of sugar, us drunk from tho fumes as though they had each put away 19 glasses of dark beer." ' |
