Detroit Five Press presents a humorous New Year diary trend among young men. Entries record daily aims to quit vice and save money, interspersed with comic observations of courtship, gambling, drinking, and small misadventures. The piece notes public incidents and a police-related arrest nearby, reflecting period social life.
