Potent Check to Drunkenness.
Brooklyn Eagle.

Brooklyn Eagle.
To prevent drunkenness, or even as a
check to saloons, an inconspicuous incident
at Hyde Park is OF far greater value than
the Kansas raid In progress at the same
time. Mrs. r. w. Vanderbilt hired am
unused photograph gallery and fitted IL up
as a boys club. IL is supplied with billiard
tables and implements for playing checkers.
chess and cards The boys pay 5 cents a
week each for expenses and have their So
cial fun there. The chances are tina their
club is so much more comfortable than any
tachment that II will keep a good many
boys out of temptation The work is not
costly and the case IL not unusual. IL Is
merely a timely instance OF a sort OF effort
which Is becoming very common in all large
cities. AS an impetus away from drunken
ness and towards seif-c0ntrol Ii is worth
twenty Kansas raids.
